Ipswich (A) 1 - 1 - Boxing Day - Post-Match Thread

[LVFox]

We lost control in the 2nd half, and a draw is probably a fair result. It's not a bad result for us though, just really annoying unlucky way to miss out on the win.

[Dahnsouff]

More down to the Nacho sub than Casadei

[Pita]

Gave that away by trying to defend a one goal lead. 

[Jobyfox]

Perspective. 2 games in 3 days. Away to the 2nd best side in the division.

 

We were shite for the last 20 minutes and got what we deserved, but today has still been a good day 

[CosbehFox]

Fair result on whole but feckin hell Ipswich had some rub of luck there. Harness should have been off, a blatant penalty and a goal with incredible stake of luck

Not sure if we've thrown that away or been robbed by the ref. Very different game if Harness or that CB who fouled KDH for the pen not given walked, but we invited them back into this game

We were robbed by the ref. We had a stonewall penalty not given. 

[Fazzer 7]

Im just hoping the rumours about Nacho going to Villa are correct and that was his last appearance. 

[Tazfox]

Sell Nacho, send Casadei back to Chelsea bring in two players who give a shit 

[DennisNedry]

Good result and a fair one on balance.

 

Our subs really weakened us, I'd be happy to never see Kelechi in a Leicester shirt ever again.

Next time people talk about how much they love not having VAR, remember this game. 

Nope, still loving not having var.

Going into the second half genuinely thought we would blow them away, Ipswich defence was quite sloppy and we were turning the screw, 2nd half was sloppy all over and Ipswich were the better team. 
 

We were absolutely robbed of a penalty, but irregardless of that football is a game of fine margins and we didn’t deserve to win the 2nd half, we should have been a couple of goals up and the penalty claim and deflected goal wouldn’t matter, the subs were woeful, no idea what Enzo was thinking there bringing Iheanacho on, cannon must be livid.
Only have ourselves to blame. 

 

Full credit to Ipswich and McKenna, showing he’s a cracking manager and has build a very good unit, hope they go up with us.

[urban.spaceman]

Fluke own goal equaliser. Thoroughly undeserved. Two stonewall penalties and red cards not given.

[Joe90lcfc]

Take the point, Poor second half, poor subs, 

[HoChiMinhFOX]

Would've won if it wasn't for an extremely unlucky deflection. 1 more point to the tally, I think we'll be fine...

[Noahfence]

Point is a fine result but given the context obviously frustrating. Subs killed the game but I get they can’t always play 90 mins. Iheanacho is a waste of a squad number

[OhYesNdidi]

What a load of crap that was. Not even close to an acceptable performance. Standards need to be considerably higher if we’re going to kick on next season, Ipswich were crap. We should be beating these teams comfortably, we had no control. What a shambles.

No. Ipswich upped their game. 

[Fox85]

Let's look at what the subs did when they came on.

 

Casadei looks confused when he plays.

 

I honestly forgot Iheanacho was playing, he doesn't want to play for us anymore.

 

Akgun for KDH was shocking 

[splinterdream]

I don't think playing faes on the left worked again, when kdh and wilf went off we got worse, we didn't look as up for it from the start, unbalanced, unsure and lucky to get a point 

[thegaffa]

Poor and got what we deserved unfortunately.

 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

2 stone wall pens and Harness should have seen red. Plus a ludicrously lucky goal for them.

 

I was shocked at poor they were. We should have won, and did enough. Oh well. If I were them I’d be looking over my shoulder because there’s teams hot on their shoulders.

[Chrysalis]

Tactical issues and strange subs from Enzo.

 

Ultimately though we still got a point away to the second team in the league, I would have taken a point before the game.

[hebangsthedrums]

Morsy MOTM??!

Worst case of giving it to a scorer I've ever seen, it got 2 deflections as well FFS

[adam]

Decent point but those subs were terrible and slightly worrying.

Taking the midfield off and replacing them with a load of light weights was very odd. We got completely battered in that last 20 minutes.  I'm no fan of hamza but that game needed someone like that. Not Younis.

[Bezzanator89]

This feels like a fair result. Stats alone, Ipswich deserved something out of this.

 

Take the point which keeps us 6pts clear of 2nd and increases the gap over 3rd to 11pts. Let's not lose sight of how big these gaps are at this stage.
