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

[portlock seagull]

ayari isn't having a great first half. few times now he's just lost possession and passed it to nothing

I’m still to see the light with him. Granted not seen him play as much as many but when I do I’m more worried than wow-ed!

 

[DJ NOBO]

For all our possession, Ipswich have been in charge of this game from the get go.
We need to either attack more quickly or let them come to us, and catch them on the break .

 

[Insel affe]

Hmmmm, this is looking more and more predictable with Albion pressure being soaked up, to be only hit on the break,
getting fed up with the Ipswich love on the commentary
Delap is playing how we think Ferguson should be capable of.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

It appears we've got the Ayari who couldn't get in the Cov team last season rather than the one who was excellent in the first half against Liverpool tonight.

 

[oldboyroy]

2 best chances to them so far

 

[RandyWanger]

They’ve had the better chances

 

[Auckland seagull]

We are crying out for someone like Enciso to actually run at them and have a go at goal.

 

[WhingForPresident]

For all this possession, we've had zero shots on target and they've strolled through our defence and had two. Nowhere near good enough.

 

[BBassic]

I don't fully understand the system. Last five mins we've seen Veltman and Pervis in CM for some reason. Pedro too dropping incredibly deep.

Is O'Riley playing?
Oh he just got fouled.

 

[Si Gull]

When they break at pace we look so fragile.

 

[Mike Small]

That was a classic example of the possession-complacency we exhibit. Get too comfortable and then a shambles after the rhythm is broken.

Possession-complacency. I like that. We seem to think we're better than we are when we're bossing possession. Need to play quicker.

 

[METALMICKY]

Commentary just nailed it. All the possession but nothing created.

He's never been spectacular in my opinion, just a pleasant surprise at how well he has kept things ticking over and he tries to progress play. I don't think anyone expected much of him which is why he collect praise, rightly i think. He's not playing particularly well today though, must be said.

 

[Badger]

That should be a yellow

Final ball bar mitoma with outside of the foot has been woeful

Getting outfought too at the moment

 

[WhingForPresident]

How is that prick Delap getting away with assaulting our players off the ball?

 

[macbeth]

just so painfully slow trying to get the ball forward. i don’t get it. we have players with pace, we have players who play well in transition. have they been told to slow things down by the manager? that seems unlikely. don’t understand it.

 

[Gazwag]

We always look to pass backwards first whatever position we are on the pitch

 

[The Fits]

Lamptey at half time please boss.
