Well that was a very strange game. Decent in spells, but struggled for most of it. No ability to stamp authority on the game.

Two penalty shouts in the first half, one of which even Ipswich stopped playing after the foul then looked shocked when the ref played on. Then we score a really strange goal followed by a penalty that shouldn't have been and finish 2-0.

Harsh for Ipswich, but I'm over the moon.

It was my half time Darwin beer - told you all. I need to order a case of it.

I’ll buy you a case x
 
What a weird game. I was thinking on 75 mins, we haven’t really done enough to win this but I will be happy enough with the effort and ending the losing run.

Was sure the header had gone wide and that’s the strangest pen decision I have ever seen (in light of the ones he didn’t give).

Sometimes you need a bit of luck and we worked hard for it today. Good result, need to build the confidence off this and go on another run of winning games.
 
Cracking penalty I have to say.

We played ok I guess, had a few chances that should have scored so did let ourselves down.

Regardless of performances over the last few weeks, today was season defining. A defeat to a team chasing play offs (before the game) and most, if not all, teams around us winning has taken us a fair way away from the play offs again with those up there with games in hand. We had to beat at least one of yourselves or Oxford and we failed.
