Ipswich 4 Morecambe 0 LIVE THREAD

[black morse]

Ipswich 16 attempts 7 on target

Morecambe 3 attempts 0 on target

DIFFERENT CLASS simple as that

And that's something we just have to accept. Even without our 2 weeks enforced lay off I would expect us to lose this one.

[Keith]

Do some of our players think we're playing in blue tonight? We've literally been passing directly to their players. That last attack began with Stockton just flicking a lazy foot at the ball and passing straight to their lad.

Shaw & Ripley the only players to have any respect from that first half. Weir was okay in places.

Yes, Ipswich are a league above us in quality, but we've made it far too easy for them.

[Redalert1970]

We needed to stay in game for 20 mins or so

When you concede in 1st minute it's always going to be touch

[black morse]

Only consolation is that Fleetwood and FGR are losing....at present

[Keith]

Bolton beating FGR 1-0, but they're down to ten men, from 28th minute. Really need Bolton to hang on. Come on Shrewsbury, beat Milton Keynes.

[Redalert1970]

May as well make changes at half time ..have a look at the 3 new lads

[redrobo]

Might as well give some of the new lads a game plus Ash Hunter who needs to use the time to get match fit.

Every goal sounds as though it's that familiar problem of shots in the area.....bad marking or what...

Didn't expect to win but expected some resistance.....can only see DA having a real go at Half Time.

[Born again Bill]

To be fair I don’t think anybody really expected anything from this game ,but I thought we might have put up more of a fight !

[Redalert1970]

We need to keep it under 5 / 6 / 7 or the lads confidence could take a massive knock

Especially with lots more hard games coming up

Bristol Rovers
Derby
Peterborough
Sheff Wed

[AndyReifman]

That first half is going to make our 5 goal comeback even more impressive.

[Keith]

Watts < Crowley
Mayor < Mellon
Delaney < Simeu
Cooney < Love

Four substitutions at half time is unusual, but was needed.

[dannymorc1]

We look lost. Any attempt to go forward we are giving the ball away and look likely to get caught on the break. Keeping the scoreline down has got to be the object now.

[Keith]

We're not even completing simple passes! FFS! WE'RE PLAYING IN RED!!!

[dannymorc1]

We can't keep up with their passing game. We lose every 50-50 challenge. We just had a free kick and tried to play it quickly instead of giving it some thought, and of course we gave the ball away.
First corner for us 71 st minute came to nothing.

[Redalert1970]

Least we have kept going 2nd half

Can't be easy when your 4 down at ht

Yes, agreed, credit to the lads. If we can keep the scoreline as it is, it will be a great achievement.

102 is a great effort

Well done to all who travelled

[Keith]

Hunter on for Stockton

[Redalert1970]

Mk Dons 0 Shrewsbury 1

[Keith]

FFS Gibbo just took a throw-in, directly to a player in blue. If Love had done that, Facebook would go in to melt-down. Too many players 'decided' to have a night off, against an excellent Ipswich.

[Keith]

Crowley looks good since coming on, him & Weir linked up well in the second half.

[Redalert1970]

Better 2nd half

All results went for us again

Goal diff didn't get any worse 2nd half

Onwards to sat

[dannymorc1]

4-0 first half. 0-0 second half. Did we improve, or did they take the foot off the pedal?
Hopefully it hasn't knocked the stuffing out of the team and we can come back firing on all cylinders on Saturday. Bolton have done us a favour, never like them winning but it's OK tonight.

[Redalert1970]

Fleetwood
Forest Green
Mk Dons

All lost so we have got away with one tonight
