Ipswich Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread *** (merged)

[Mackenzie]

I pity the poor *******s that have paid money to watch this.

Come on Albion FFS!!!

 

[The Tactician]

Waste of money!

He's Guaranteed to score the winner now, thanks in advance

 

[Buzzer]

Get Hemed and Skalak off and put Elvis and Murphy on and then see if we can take the game to them.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I thought the idea was to have a squad whereby you could lose players and not be badly affected and we have spent good money achieving this, strikers aside. Ipswich are on a shit run and pretty rubbish not sure that scraping a draw is anywhere near good enough personally. This is assuming that we are trying to get promoted.

That half of football is not setting us up well for a much tougher assignment on Saturday

Ipswich haven't been beaten at home since April and have 9 men behind the ball. Frustrating yes, but that's football.

Within the rules but for me it amounts to anti football from the home team.

All true but happy with a draw at half time, really?

They may have 9 behind the ball but they have had far more shots and been much more attacking than us so hardly as negative as you make out.

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

Something came up and I missed the first half, Player is shit, keeps cutting out, but more shockingly, 0 shots on target and 1 off. They parked the bus and going for a draw or are we lacking in firepower?

Ipswich seem to be up for a bit of a battle, but we don't seem to have any firepower.

Don't hold your breathe the prick plays far too deep! It will be a fluke if it that happens

 

[Cheggers]

Mick Mills on Radio Suffolk reckons he can smell a Town victory. Wonder what it smells like.

 

[Codner's Wallop]

I have links with the area and have watched Ipswich a few times (including fAlbion games) over the last three seasons. They are the most painfully boring team and seem to focus their entire game on closing down the opposition and making for a messy, claustrophobic match. They are physical and combative and this very tough to play against. Anyone who was expecting an easy game tonight was utterly deluded. Give our boys a break - a draw is a decent result if we can achieve it.

Get Hemed and Skalak off and put Elvis and Murphy on and then see if we can take the game to them.

would rather see Baldock with Murray - that's a partnership that we've hardly tried yet. Only started once, I think - and Baldock then got sent off.

 

[maltaseagull]

Dare I say Sidwell for Skalak and he plays behind top 2?

 

[Icy Gull]

Come on Hughton change it around it's plainly not working

I'm repeating what the commentators have said. I'm not there so cannot say for myself.

 

[fleet]

This sounds dire. Really hope we can grab the points, but doesn't sound like it.

Nor am I, just referring to BBC stats

 

[HantsSeagull]

christ we sound dire. norwood too deep as usual.

 

[Mackenzie]

Corner....Duffy....over the bar!

 

[Buzzer]

would rather see Baldock with Murray - that's a partnership that we've hardly tried yet. Only started once, I think - and Baldock then got sent off.

Does Baldock have that spark to be able to change a game though? I liked the look of Manu when he;s come off the bench late on recently.

 

[fleet]

Trouble is that neither Baldock or Murphy seem like the game changers that you get when you bring KLL on.
