You had an “off” day, we’ve not played as well as that away from home in at least a year.
Firstly, yes you probably should have had a penalty. It was at the other end of the pitch and I’ve not seen a replay yet but the consensus among the town fans was that it looked like a penalty. Goals change games so if you’d been given it and scored the outcome may have been different but tonight I felt we were better all over the pitch and could have stepped it up a gear or two if needed. Overall we were very good value for the win and deserved the 3 points. Blaming the ref, tactics, Lampard, singling out players etc is your prerogative but it doesn’t alter the fact that tonight the best team won. Having a large squad comes into its own when injuries, illness and a run of games in quick succession come around like they do at this time of the year. We’ve been under-whelming all season, poor at times and seen very little return on the £200m or so spent over the last 3 transfer windows. Tonight we at last saw some signs of it giving us an edge.
It was the first time I’ve been to your “new” stadium. I really liked it. A good atmosphere before the game and for most of it. I still think you’re going up as champions. I hope you get promoted. Stick together, keep the faith, get behind your team and enjoy the next few months. Hopefully next season Ipswich v Coventry will be a premier league game.
