Ipswich v Reading - Match thread

[thirtyyarder]

With nothing to go on but the BBC text Ipswich sound on top, however the quick Little sounds our most dangerous player again.

Anyone who has images or commentary can they give slightly more info please!!

According to BBCRB commentary, Ipswich have had a 'big dominance' this half.

Doesn't sound like the most enthralling game. Ipswich have hit the bar twice. Kebe sounding dangerous. Long sounding poor. Reading midfield sounds like its missing. Seems like Ipswich are getting more on top the longer it goes on.

Thanks for the update

P.S. just for comedy info T.Bramble has scored another own goal, he must have scored more than some strikers.

I wonder if he has a goal bonus in his contract

Get Long off. I think Hunt would really help us now...

[Corky341]

I,too think, we need replace Long. Surely big Noel will present a few different options

not an awful half, both have had fair share of chances although Ipswich have had the lion share of possesion.

I would like to see someone a bit less lightweight than long upfront, not sure about the decision to start him. Also, would like to see hahnemann catch more, all the corners that get given away because he doesn't catch some bread and butter crosses and shots will cost us a few goals over the season. Already cost us a pen against palace...

Good to see wolves losing!

Mmm, think a draw from that game would be best for us. Have a feeling that Charlton will be just as much of a threat as Wolves this year.

Now 1-1

Looks like Noel Hunt coming on.

expect Coppell to take off Doyle then.

[Corky341]

USA Saves well from Quinn.

[semtex1871]

didn't see that coming

[Avon Royal]

Not sounding good is it?

[winchester_royal]

I don't want to over react, because Ipswich are a good team, but we need to sort our away form out and fast.

Ipswich are a good team. Doesn't change the fact that we are a useless team away from home.

We have forgotten how to play well away.

Although some of our best away performances came at the end of last year - Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Derby...

Unfortunately the difference in our Home and Away form indicates a mentality problem. There is no physical reason why the players perform worse away from home. It is Coppell's duty to ensure that the players are mentally right before the game and he is currently failing in that duty. Big time.
