Match Day Thread Ipswich versus Southampton - 1 April - 17.30

Aribo is having a brilliant game.

 

Downes has been the best player on the pitch by a mile.

 

Think he’s looked a bit sluggish tracking Davis (when does he not), but agree he has looked good in possession

 

How are there 7 minutes???

 

Fans hating the ref

 

Wrongly. He has got everything right.

 

Saints having most possession, most shots but only 2 on target out of 9. Ipswich have 2 out of 3.

 

Great half

 

Excellent half. Hats off to the team and to Russ for the tactics. Stephens been excellent. Downes been superb.

Tell you what though, Aribo is fast becoming a favourite of mine. We look so much better without Will slowing it all down.

 

I agree, think he’s been a bit too hot on supposed handballs

 

Well that was lovely to watch. We will need another goal or two though.

 

Good half that lads.

That faint glimmer of automatic promotion is still shining.

 

Bloody hell I hope Stu signs a new contract.

 

Thought wee nan had won it

 

Stuart Armstrong is in dinner suit mood tonight. Just stroking passes about with a proverbial cigar in his mouth.

The latest razor-like ball cuts Ipswich open like a surgeon at the back, but Jack Stephens is offside and the move comes to an end.

But he's lacerating them with his precision passes. BBC

 

Aribo and Downes in the middle are brilliant. Stu been very good with his direct running too

 

Why is it that all Nan's are short.

 

Great half. As frustrating as Russ ball can be, we were so much better than Ipswich, just need to go hard for 3rd and 4th

 

.must play for me ( over Will),

 

I love this hybrid formation, now they have got used to it. Their goal possibly down to a bit too much space down the right but Stephens as a wandering marauder is working well.
