I wouldnt argue with that but if he had been pushed and did it 3 or 4 times the ref would have had no choice. It is clear to see that he went mad with cards in the first 45 mins then as you say chickened out in the 2nd.

[Albion] Did Knockaert get anything right tonight?

AK is like a peter pan. He acts like a child, when it doesn't go his way that's it. A little maturity in his play and he'd become a far more effective player. Don't get wrong I love his attacking attributes but he is self centred and his ability to read the game is so naive.
As many have alluded too, if he was better with this he wouldn't be playing with us!
Last night and especially Huddersfield proved this.

You didn't quite follow what I was saying there. I had the Villa game in mind as the last draw we had before the one at Brentford, neglecting the Cardiff no-score away fixture. After Villa, we went on a run of W8 D1 L2 (draw percentage: 9%). In that run, and beyond Cardiff, we did forget how to draw, and we've now had two in three.

I do feel sorry for him as their is so much pressure on him to perform and create.
I think Murphy, Skalak, Stephens, Sidwell, Norwood and Kayal could all contribute more from a goalscoring point of view which would help.

Go along with that. From memory:
-- our defence has scored four (Duffy and Dunk, two each), that's none by the full-backs, and a pretty poor return for two CB beasts in the air
-- CM has contributed a grand total of three goals all season (Stephens two, Sidwell exocet)
-- out-wide, Solly has actually now chipped in with one bringing him level with Murphy, and eclipsing Skalak -- that's a shocking return from the latter two given the minutes they've played
Don't think we've scored direct from a free kick yet this season, either.

Set up Baldock for arguably the best opportunity of the night (at that point)?

If you heard Chris Hughton's comments, I think it was after the Sheffield Wednesday game, he said that Knockaert would not be able to play at that level (i.e. superlative) for every game, but that he's able to turn a game at any time in a match. To be honest no Albion player had a good game against Ipswich. It was just one of those games, we could have won but we could so easily have lost. We drew, got a point, we move on.
