Not the greatest 45mins of football we'll ever play but at least we go in ahead at the break. Not really creating that much and can't really remember their keeper having that much to do. Could do with stepping up the pace a bit and making this more comfortable.

Find it interesting that LBB is playing the deeper midfield role instead of Coombs who you would think would be more suited to the position.

Agree . We seem to be bypassing the DM role most of the time
 
A very comfortable win. Good minutes in the legs after the winter break and ahead of bigger games to come starting next weekend with the double-header against the ragettes. Knaak looked comfortable on her debut though not really tested defensively. Will be interesting to see who gets the start in our back 4 when everyone is fit. Great to have Viv back as a real striking alternative when Bunny isn't available and she took her goal really well too.
 
Ipswich have come with no attacking intent and are desperate to keep the goal tally way down from the last time they came here. Interesting stat at HT on the MDC - 40odd% to 50%? Checked on the BBC and it was identical. Clicked on the page and it immediately changed to 70odd to 30 odd. Very odd.

There was 45 seconds of euphoria, ten mins or so of delerium and the rest consisted of mind-numbing tedium. Our build up play today was the equivalent of trying to get into a tin of sardines with a tooth pick. At HT I thought i'd just seen the most tedious half of football we'd ever played. There was little potency up front and little dynamism across the midfield. The backline looked amply secure but they had little to contend with. I can't recall Ipswich getting into our penalty area either half.
