Why can't we beat Ipswich? Or Mick McCarthy teams? So frustrating yesterday. Dominated the game for 65 - 70 minutes but wasted some good chances. We played some great football at times and it was great to watch but ultimately we were left disappointed when Ipswich scored a free header out of the blue. It seemed like we'd just got a bit distracted by the kerfuffle near the sideline a minute or so before. Wallace could have easily walked if the ref had seen him swing his slap across the Ipswich player's chops that I saw! Anyway, moments later Hunt failed to stop a cross to the front post and the defence were too deep in the box which allowed the schoolboy son of Jason Dozell to get across the front of Loovens and score a good header totally unmarked. Westwood looked like he was going to come for the ball then changed his mind a was left with no chance.
After being in control the game opened right up and both sides had opportunities, although I still felt like we were dominating but they looked more of a threat on the break that they had previously. Was feeling quite deflated at the end but cheered up when I saw the other results.

Wouldn't say anyone had a poor game, although Joao struggled at times against their solid centre halves and he missed two good chances in the first half and failed to throw himself at a good cross from 8 yards in the second. Thought the midfield kept the ball really well for most of the game and the back four were relatively untroubled after making a mess of trying to catch Sears offside a couple of times in the first ten minutes.

Hopefully, all will come good against MK on Tuesday and we'll take our chances. Surely Hooper must score soon, assuming he's fit to start.
