Disappointed that we didn't make the domination of the last 20+ minutes of that half count. But Ipswich very much look like they are hoping to pull off a smash and grab here.
Just hope we don't get suckered by a quick counterattack. They've got some pace up front. Certainly faster than our back line.

It was a good first half - almost everything apart from our finishing. Some of the passages of play were awesome. Lots of great individual runs.
This is the same old scenario of a weaker side defending with 11 men, making it very difficult for us. But I genuinely think we are learning how to deal with it better than previous seasons, based on that half.
Baleba looking fantastic. Probably his best half for us so far?
Ayari looking really good. Minteh always a threat. Really like look of Rut- sorry, Georgino as well.
Mitoma is the only negative today - doesn't seem to be at the races really.
Our defence looks solid & Ipswich not looking like a threat. I think we'll win this, but we'll need to work hard for it, or get a bit of luck, or both.

BBC says 71.9% possession to the Albion 1st half. Need to make it count 2nd half

100% this. Beleba a beast today. Poor Phillips does not know what's hit him.
Mitoma not at his best unfortunately, but their last ditch defending has been good, plus a worldie from the keeper.
They will break second half and will get some better clear cut chances

Really liked the intensity of our game. Ipswich have matched it but they won't for 95 minutes. Need to make sure they don't score on the break.
Rutter and Mitoma have to finish that.
Mitoma extremely poor. Sami on unless he improves.
Ayari has been great as has Baleba although Baleba doesn't always make the right option in an attacking sense.
Think we'll see Julio in the second half.
Could Evan be the star off the bench?
Can we have the Muric who played us V Burnley last year please.

We'll see, but certainly sounds like same old same old at HT. "Albion's Achilles Heel" was even mentioned on pre-match interview between JC and FH

Thought we did ok, the bench has some good players when we need fresh legs.
