Ipswich 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Bakovnetski]

Charles is looking boss-like. Bring his brother in as another goalie. 

[Chez]

Ipswich aren't good enough to beat the press.

[Saint_clark]

Tremendous recovering tackle from Welington after an air shot.

[Saint_clark]

Looks like Manning and Wood on for Welington and Quarshie?

[Saint86]

Insane again from wellington. He is the last man, he shouldn't be there. But if he is there he has to hit it, crike alive. He is isn't a defender 🤣.

Fantastic recovery run though to his credit.

Wood and Manning coming on.

Welington off.....and I guess Quarsie?

I can’t remember the last time we came out for the second half raring to go.

I really think it's down to playing out from the back. Its reliant on slow walking football,  players whi don't have pace to last 70 mins or any burst. It only works against similar teams or rubbish teams. 

[BotleySaint]

Quarshie keeping their attack going there. Got lucky. 

[Saint_clark]

Wood sub cancelled I guess? Weird.

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Does anybody have a feed please? My one has dropped off to another game. 

[Scoobysaint]

THB needs to come off, he’s treading water out there.

Not sure it was 'tremendous'. Pretty simple as Smodics is slow.

He's had a pretty poor game so far.

[Saint NL]

I really dislike this commentator, no one cares mate, shut up

[Saint_clark]

How has he given a foul on Armstrong there for EXACTLY the same thing he ignored in the first half in their penalty spot? Prick.

[Wsaint]

Like how he's scored that one free kick and now commentators calling manning a "set piece specialist" 😂

Agreed. Lallanaesque ‘chasing back’ just then.

[Saint Gifford]

Proper game, spoilt by the fact I cannot stop watching their number 5. He is horrendous. 
 

It’s laughable, it’s almost like he’s won a competition to play a match with Ipswich. No wonder Will didn’t want him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

[whelk]

FFS get Wood on

Good pressing from Saints in this half

[obelisk]

Let's just say that THB is looking somewhat rusty.

[Saint NL]

Really like this increased pressing in the second half. 

[Disco Stu]

Need someone to hold the ball up for us upfront.

[Chez]

Armstrong still giving it all. Fair play to him. Looks committed.

I’d almost say rusty as fuck

Thank you Chez. 

[Saint_clark]

Will Still said he likes to be proactive, now is the time to show that.

Like who? Only archer on the bench can play up front. Don't know where Stewart is, hopefully not injured again.

Needed that in every game so far 

[obelisk]

Saints not winning many defensive headers from these corners. 

[The Kraken]

Where were our centre backs there? Ipswich broke and could have had a 3 on 1.

Downs and Stewart both ill......apparently.

[Chez]

we look tired. Whole midfield not tracking runners on that break. got very very lucky the cross was cut out Clarke totally unmarked

Sick apparently as is Downs

[sambosa75]

The lack of presence up front is shocking.

Unfortunate. 

Might end up with BBD up front.

[Colinjb]

Armstrong doing his best, but getting nothing from the ref.

[Jack]

Second to everything here 

[AlexLaw76]

we should have signed Keiffer Moore...

[Tommy]

Absolutely desperate for a centre forward.

[Saint_clark]

Quarshie covers well and then ruins it by passing straight out of play. Unreal.

[Saint NL]

We're losing the physical battle at the moment

it was our midfield that didn't track back. Lazy or knackered. Not sure. If they had scored there Downes would have bene crucified by me on here.

[obelisk]

If Saints can stop giving the ball away it'd help them build some attacks.

Was about to say the same. £2m for his experience and ability to be the focal point up the pitch would have been a snip. 

[benjii]

So sloppy. Make a couple of changes.

[Saint_clark]

Archer, Wood and Matsuki coming on. 

Assume Armstrong, Quarshie and Fraser off.

[lambtiss]

Ipswich have stepped up the pace

[obelisk]

Robinson looking dangerous. Nobody else is.

[Sheaf Saint]

Quarshie shows a good moment of composure and then immediately passes the ball straight out of play.
