Ipswich Town 2-0 Lincoln City: Match Stats & Views From The Forum

Views from Merthyr Imp following last night’s 2-0 defeat away at Ipswich Town in League One: “At 2-0 it just sort of petered out with Ipswich well in control and realising we weren’t good enough to trouble them.

With Bramall on it was noticeable Ipswich were less of a threat down that side – but, again, that might have been due to them realising with the game won at 2-0 they’d no need to over-extend themselves.

Whittaker was a bit in-and-out in the second half, but did at least look more use in that role behind the front two than at wing-back. It was an increasingly unhappy game for Maguire, especially when he moved up front in place of Cullen, and Scully was an improvement.

With a back three, we really need a left-footed player on the left of them. Hopefully, Walsh will be back on Saturday, with Eyoma – disappointing tonight – the one to be left out.

But we carried little threat going forward, with only Scully right at the end close to scoring, with the nearest we’d got before that being Norton-Cuffy’s effort that was neither a cross or a shot.”

sedgleyimp: “Poor result and performance. What worked well on Saturday didn’t tonight.

Quickly move on from this and regroup for the game at the real Dons which is a biggie now.”

PerthImp: “Marginally better second half but Ipswich never had to get into second gear to take control again. We made it far too easy for them. I’m really hoping MA’s selection tonight was wholly governed by the fitness of certain players and gearing up for Saturday. That is the more important game for us. The team selection must be right. McGrandles expected yellow card May give Sanders an opportunity in the Bridcutt/McGrandles role 🤞🤞.”

JT_LCFC: “The gulf in class was evident. But deary me talk about being limp, it was like we were out for a Sunday stroll. We may have stayed on the bus as it already looked like we had accepted our fate.”

Scotimp: “Was that team selection with the AFCW game in mind?

The ref’s performance had nothing to do with our defeat but he was embarrassingly incompetent. They should put L-plates on these guys.

I thought the first goal took a big deflection off Poole. I could be seeing things.

Our midfield couldn’t tackle a toddler between them.

And now McGrandles is suspended, there will be no one at all challenging for the ball for two whole games. I would have left him out of the side tonight, he would have been more useful against AFCW.

When Ipswich got the ball, they all streamed forward at speed; when Lincoln got the ball in similar areas, it went sideways, backwards, out of play, or to a blue shirt.

Why is every game I pay to watch on iFollow a poor performance? Uncanny.”
