    A half that can be split into three parts. Ipswich on top for 15 minutes, Saints on top for 15 minutes and then pretty even,

    Good response to going behind. Fraser's been really good on the right. Him and Downes probably the stand out players.

    And Robinson! Not only in attack but his tracking back has been phenomenal.

    A new one? Please god no. The 2 players signed this window aren't exactly a good omen for recruitment from that league. They're ****e

    Enjoying it, but need Will to get into them a bit. Winnable this game. Bit too much Russball at the back for me, though Ippyswitch slightly less aggressive as the game wore on.

    Part of me would love to see a defender taken off for Dibling and go for it. I think the game is there for the taking.

    But the sensible play here is to keep it how we are, with Manning on for Wellington as he’s on a yellow, and being happy with a point away to a promotion rival.

    I think going for it and coming unstuck by a sucker punch does more damage to the groups mentality so early on in the season, and the opposite to Ipswich, that it’s not the worth gamble.

    At least not at half time anyway…

    Agreed but there is no point knocking it long with only Adarma up front

    Two young, raw players from a different league still finding their feet in a new country and league...I'm shocked. Comments like this are laughable.

    First half take - The Ref is appalling for both sides, having Matty in the side makes us tick going forward definitely got to try and hold onto him. JQ looks vulnerable at the back but at our Captain is having a good game. Oh Adarma for all his hard work offers very little up front.

    Ipswich aren't all that, I think we should bring on Tyler for Quarshie and Manning for Welington and go four at the back.

    Why make a tactical change when we had the better of the half? Save that for last 20.

    Ok maybe not tactical, but Quarshie needs to come off now.
