Ipswich Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[W.C.]

Surely we won`t be as dominant in the second half?

Superb at winning the ball back.
Bong's balls.
Rosenior looking class.
Kaz used his left foot!

lovely stuff

A different ref would have sent hunnemeier off. Dunk for the second half?

A different ref also wouldn't have booked him for the first challenge where he did absolutely nothing apart from jump and win the ball. Solid half though, Ipswich have struggled as we've pressed

 

[fleet]

Decent first half. First booking for Uwe was harsh, the second was nailed on so lucky not to be off. The booking for Bong was a dire decision especially as an equal block at the other end minute earlier didn't even get a free kick.

Very good half. But Hughton must be wary we have been so much better in the 1st halves of games compared to the 2nd. On a side note, Uwe has been immense but I would bring Dunk on at HT as I have a feeling any slight nudge or push and the Ipswich players will be trying to get him sent off. First yellow was never a booking mind, ref v inconsistent.

A different ref would not have booked him in the first place

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Very good first half. We looked impressive. That said I'm surprisingly nervous about the second half, surely Ipswich cant be that bad again? I hope we can put in a second half to match the first rather than trying to just hang on.

 

[spongy]

Watching the half time adverts on the stream and my god American advertising is horrific.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Just shut their second half fightback down, and we should be on for 3 fabulous points.

 

[fleet]

If we see Dunk on at start for second half - and that has to be a good idea - it will reduce the chances of a BZ return I guess, but it depends how the second half goes. I suspect we will be under much more pressure in the second half than we were in the first though.

 

[Bladders]

Looking quality , better get Dunk on as the crowd are baying for BFG to get sent off .

 

[Stat Brother]

Is there any doubt about who scored the second?

Sky have been flicking between Hemed and Stephens, and i have money on Stephens!!

 

[portlander]

Ipswich will have to come at us which leaves them open to our counter attacks, I hope.

 

[chesneyhawkes]

Very good so far, we need to be very solid straight from the kick off. How many times has a game gone from 2 - 0 to 2 - 3. Solid for 10 and then score a third. Come on the you Seagulls.

On the stream it looked like Hemed didn't get a touch - so Stephens goal.

 

[maltaseagull]

How does Bong get carded for that? Seriously that's 2 bookings for absolutely nothing.

That is the only worry so far this season. Too many yellows.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Whatever you're all doing at home - wearing odd socks, drinking Ribena, stroking the cat, making lasagne - keep doing it for another 45 minutes. We can't afford to let this one slip due to someone's change in routine.

 

[fleet]

real cliche - but the next goal is so important. 2-1 and big pressure, 3-0 and we should be home.

 

[HantsSeagull]

i know it sounds stupid given the current score but we definitely need someone to challenge baldock and hemed who can actually score

 

[Thunder Bolt]

On the stream it looked like Hemed didn't get a touch - so Stephens goal.

It's been confirmed that Hemed did get the final touch.

 

[portlander]

Given up trying to find a stream in case it changes our momentum. Relying on Player.
