Ipswich Town 1 - West Bromwich Albion 2
Brendan Clegg:This was a good sign. Tricky away game, didn’t play that well really but we grafted, created chances, should’ve won more comfortably but came away with the points. Despite the temptation to get Gayle back in I thought it was fair to keep the same side that started against Leeds. The most important thing was the 4 at the back remained - I’m fairly sure we’d have collapsed at the back with a 3 under the 2nd half pressure. Overall we controlled the match well although it was a bitty game - some persistently careless touches from a number of our players (Barnes especially I thought) and poor finishing. Defensively we were pretty good. Both Leeds and Ipswich employed the the early long switch pass against our 4-3-3 to create 2 v 1 situations against our full backs. It does cause problems but both handled it quite well. Premier League teams would make it count though I think. Grinding out results like this will get us promoted. If it wasn’t for the financial reality I’m not sure I’d be that bothered. Competitive and entertaining games are a bit of welcome relief.
