First 75 minute friendly has finished. Always going to be a tricky game against a side that will definitely be challenging for promotion to the Championship, and it showed. Ipswich clearly dominated, and for a lot of the game we were chasing shadows, and to be fair they could have scored more (KVY particularly guilty in that regard). Still, some reasonably positive things to come out of it - Tommy Smith looked fairly solid, and good going forward, even if he was guilty for the penalty. Gambin looked lively, with some good link-up play at times, and should have scored his chance. Brown was predictably isolated for much of the game, but also showed some decent touches, and definitely should have scored his unexpected chance from a defensive blunder.
Heyho, it's all about game-time and trying things out - next 75 minute match coming up at 8pm. |  |

Simply truth no strikers and again no goals.
Unless we sign two strikers it will be a grim season.
Up the U,'s |  |

We are just saving them up until they are really needed i.e. first league match.
Certainly no reason to waste them on Ippy.  |  | | |

Much better balance and performance in the second game, definitely like the look of Hutchinson, and Hassanally and Fernandes have potential too, particularly the latter. Defense much stronger than the first game (Eastman?), Scarlett had a good game, and George didn't do much wrong at all. Harriott was a nuisance, and deserved something, but he was man-marked throughout.
Have to agree though Durham, with Chuck out injured, we need more options up front. | |

Aside from the very real problem of a lack of strikers, let’s not forget we got absolutely hammered by Ipswich last pre-season and that turned out to be a pretty decent season, so I shan’t lose hope before the season has begun!! |  | | |
