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

[Goldstone1976]

The chap beside me said that we were unlucky at full time. I asked "Ok, who was our MoM then?"; he couldn't name a candidate that he knew wouldn't be laughed at. The shame of it was that we made Ipswich look a decent side. We deserved to lose; 2-0 was a bit harsh on Ipswich, if I'm honest.

Still, Leo's back for Wed on Tues. We'll win then, Shirley?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

At least Palace lost.

So bloody what?

We lost...our club..to a club in our division. Who gives a flying feck about a team in the premiership.

This palace stuff stuff is getting tedious

The questions we need to be asking after the games we have played so far;are we better than last season ? Are we moving forward as a team? And finally will we be happy being mid table this season?

Personally..no we are not better yet, probably not moving forward, yet and finally Yes I will be happy mid table.

Sounds like a bad day at the office all round, thankfully we have a game on Tuesday to put it right.

We lost and as yet nobody has blamed the ref. we must be slipping

They are our big rivals. Of course seeing them lose eases the pain a bit. No need to get so excited GW!!

Especially after he never gave us a penalty for the handball in the box

Calm down Granny.

We have at least three first pick players out, Ulloa, Bridcutt and Orlandi.

Man for man we are at least as good as last season. I think we will do better than mid table - perhaps playoffs again.

And yes, that would make me pretty happy.

Oscar post Ipswich: I'm not sure why the referee did not award a penalty in the second half. It was a clear handball. #BHAFC

Not blaming the ref for our loss, but I'm sure that some will wax lyrical about three possible pens for handball in the last quarter of an hour. IMO, the first two claims, which came in the same attacking move, weren't pens; but the last one was. Their defender put both arms way above his head and deflected a shot back away from goal. Don't think it would have changed the points situation even if it had been given, and we'd scored.

Buckley pulled no punches post-match, as he said #BHAFC weren't at the races today. "We want to put right on Tuesday night at the Amex."

 

[Meade's Ball]

The ref offered us very little support, but he wasn't the cause of general feebleness when it mattered most. Twas a game in need of Ulloa for us. Without him and a midfield not in control as it should have been, we ran out of steam and class by halftime.

There are rare occasions when a defeat can be blamed on something other than a poor quality official match thread. This is one such occasion. Rowley IN.

Thank you my fine friend, I love doing them but I don't want to over stay my welcome. Now if you'll excuse me I'm getting very very drunk in Ipswich.
SEAGUUUUULLLLLSSSSS

Calderon handled at 0-0 in the first half, clear penalty. It evened out. I'm getting a bit sick of our desperation for penalties.

Buckley shouldn't worry about it, he won't be playing anyway. Rubbish today, to be polite. Didn't really try either.

 

[somerset]

Bruno in midfield was dire, Barnes was double shite, Kushack was bobbins.......that is all.

 

[Rugrat]

Really poor performance today. Didn't expect a win after seeing our team line up, Oscar's tactics were hopeless.

And yet, had Crofts taken the easiest chance of the match at 0-0, we'd have won. Funny old game.

On to the next one.

Weird line up .. Bruno in MF, Conway ahead of KLL and no room for Ince. Hopefully a one off and shame for all those that made the trip.

We'll hammer Wed and all will be fine again!

 

[portlock seagull]

I agree. Today's result somewhat offset by Palace losing and Man U (and beginning to dislike City too) LOSING!! Shame Swansea losing to Arsenal or would have been a great day for Premiershite. Come on Liverpool tomorrow!

A fluke win for Sunderland tomorrow would be the best outcome.

Bad day at the office. Hopefully we will have learned something from it. Move on by thrashing the Owls on Tuesday.
