Ipswich Match Thread

Tally ho, pip-pip and Bernard's your uncle.


Charlton: Pope, Solly, Fox, Bikey, Ben Haim, Gudmundsson, Cousins, Coquelin, Jackson, Harriott, Vetokele

Subs: Etheridge, Wilson, Gomez, Bulot, Onyewu, Tucudean, Ahearne-Grant.


Ipswich: Bialkowski, Parr, Mings, Chambers, Smith, Skuse, Murphy, McGoldrick, Anderson, Tabb, S Hunt

Subs: Gerken, St Ledger, Clarke, Bajner, Henshall, N Hunt, Sammon


So Harriott returns to the team in Buyens' absence. Other than that we are unchanged.


COYA!

 

Hopefully Igor's fitter than last week, if not Charlton nil seems likely

 

Hyam injured in the warm up, replaced by S Hunt. Bajner on the bench.

 

Ipswich fans already made more noise than a Millwall last week.

 

We're under way. Charlton attacking the Covered End in the first half.

 

Ipswich corner goes to Murphy, but his header loops wide.

 

Great chance for Gudmunsson as Harriott plays him in, but he has to stretch and his shot flies over the bar.

 

Anderson finds space outside the area and curls a low shot towards goal. Pope has to stretch, but gathers at the second attempt.

 

Harriott takes a snap-shot from outside the area but it goes wide.

 

Great ball from Coquelin to Cousins who cuts inside and shoots. It's blocked but it falls to Harriott, whose fierce drive is beaten away by Bialkowski.

 

Ben Haim advances and converts for 3 points.

 

Harriott cuts in from the left and tries to bend it into the top corner, but it's easy for the keeper to save.

 

Gudmundsson plays it to Harriott on the edge of the area, he sends two Ipswich players the wrong way and shoots right-footed, but it curls wide of the far post.

 

Cousins chests a long ball inside to the onrushing Fox, but his shot is weak.

 

Then Murphy shoots from the edge of the area and Pope blocks his swinging effort with his body.

 

Fantastic pass from Gudmundsson into Coquelin at the near post, but the keeper blocks his attempted dink.

 

Ipswich work a short free-kick to McGoldrick in too much space on the edge of the area, but his first-time curling shot goes wide.

 

Solly breaks into the box after a pass from Harriott and shoots left-footed towards the near post. Bialkowski pushes it away.

 

Pope saves a goalbound header from McGoldrick low down by his right-hand post.
