09 has been solid, provided great defensive cover for an inept back line and some great balls forward.
Feel for the vociferous detractors he gets on here.

Tell you what that’s completely ignoring him having to haul his man back at least twice. And leaving his man with the freedom of the park on other occasions. He has improved as the half went on mind and his ball for Stewart deserved a finish.
 
I think the Stewart penalty would have been a little soft although the Ipswich players seemed to think it was a penalty.

But from what I saw on first viewing, it looked like Wright was dragged down at the back post pretty blatantly after that.
 
Finished strongly but we were pretty poor aside from that. Ipswich should really be winning with the 2-3 good chances they've had. Still, better than previous matches where we were barely in the game.

Anyone whinging about that half can get fucked tbh. 1000% commited they've all been. I feel we should have been given one penalty.

Much better play when you compare how we've been playing. Keep it up lads and justice will prevail in the second half.

Stewart's getting involved but doesn't look fully sharp or that strong today, wonder if the injury's still a factor

I think Stewart and Broadhead play two very different games and we aren’t really giving either enough of the right type of support.
 
From NW corner, it looked like he was halfway down before he got touched. I don't understand why he wanted to cut inside when he had the space to drill it with his left.

No one doubts their effort tbf
 
Seen pens given for less and the Ipswich players’ reactions would suggest they thought it was.

People can slate Johnson all they want but this referee has been an absolute disgrace.
 
Reckon LJ will take Gooch off after ±60 mins and replaced with McGeady, might just give us that little bit of magic we need.
