Ipswich match thread

[coolhandfox]

Amazing what happens when you play players who can run and want to be here.

 

Tiny bit of hope.

Skipp ahead of Page is genuinely scandalous.

Good half. Nice to be winning 56.1 - 43.9

On a positive note. Page is a nailed on starter going forward.

 

No more Skipp so we better sell/loan him rather than be forced to play him because of his wage/transfer fee. 

No one will take Skipp. Fear we are stuck with him.

[THEfox]

Well that wasn't sh**. Weird.

Bristic looks a yard off the pace, but hopefully this is just fitness

Has had a disrupted pre season, that is why he was subbed at the weekend

[RonnieTodger]

Really enjoyed that half but we’ve got to stop playing ourselves into trouble in the first few minutes.

 

It’s happened in all four games so far. 

[The Guvnor]

Am I watching the same Leicester city?

decent football and putting it up to the PL team 

Harry Howell impressive !

[lanefox]

Best first half since Southampton at home...

[jbflcfc]

I just worry we won’t play many matches like we are here where teams want to come & attack us.

 

Then we see the boring turgid football like the last 2 games, hope I’m wrong!

[Claudio Fannieri]

That is the type of performance I can get behind, enjoyed that, good intensity and we looked positive in and out of possession. Who would have thought most of the wantaways well away from the squad and we look good and high energy
 

we look well coached and well drilled, everyone looks together and a much better team performance. I hope that the certain individuals missing from tonight are moved on ASAP and the group who are committed and want to be here can crack on with getting back to where we belong. 

[CrazyKopCorner]

I’m pleased for those who have travelled. More than I thought there would be and they deserve at least for us to show up. 
 

Although 2nd halves have not been our strength for a while now

This is the blueprint. I don't really mind what happens tonight, it's a free hit, but damn if it isn't refreshing seeing young faces and willing runners.
 

We still look shaky at the back - of course we do, we've got Thomas and Okoli in there. But isn't it amazing the difference in the movement, intensity and overall confidence going forwards when there are no bozos like Skipp or Mavididi in the team?

Please please play these players in the league Russell. If you can find a way to also shoehorn Alves and / or Burns in there too we'll shit 'em.

 

If ever you thought that people foxestalk don’t have an agenda against specific players…. Okoli not even on the pitch but still getting hate 😂

 

No doubt when you find out that it’s actually aluko you’ll be praising his performance.

[Skiddly Diddly]

Hope the 3rd choice keeper is decent because the other 2 are awful. The rest of the team have been streets ahead of the last 2 league games . We’re actually having shots and plenty of them instead of going sideways and backwards. Hope they don’t go back to the dross of last Saturday when we play MK Dons .

Can see why Howell needed a loan. Technically superb. Physically a bit suspect. And decision making needs work, often runs down blind alleys or takes a shot when there’s a better option. 
 

Basically everything you would expect from an 18yo. Think he will be a good impact option for us this season.

Some Brighton fans thought he would in and around the first team this season 

[Aleksz]

If the penny drops re: Page for Martin, and we keep hold of him ofcourse, we will turn this poor start around pretty quickly.

That counter towards the end, where he lays it off, he covered some ground then, really shifted, unfortunately Howells didn't look up.

[filbertway]

Ipswich showing the collective interest levels of Jordan Ayew so far.

 

Some nice crisp footie and regardless of how the 2nd half goes. I'll remember seeing this game and being happy we've got Howell for the season.

 

If O'Neil wakes them up and they decide to press with some interest then itll be a more difficult half.

 

Fair ****s to the young lads though, showing absolutely no fear and look more than a match against players 2 levels higher.

[It'sblueupnorth]

Having some athleticism at the back and no skipp has really made a difference. Chaplins got to be starting over Cullen as well difference is night and day

[BigGibbo]

If he can keep this up I wouldn't mind seeing Aluko starting as a CB more often. Hopefully him and the Finnish lad can make a steady partnership. Then we get to play Joseph as well as Aluko. Win - win.

Shows what can happen when you drain the f*cking SWAMP. We have some genuine talent in our squad. Showing some bollocks here. Play this team in the league Russel

Skimmed off the floaters and added more bleach...
