Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[paul_e]

Played well, pressed well, four goals and a clean sheet. Most satisfactory. Yes it was against 10 men for the majority of the game so can't read too much into it, but job done. Thought Onomah did well, but Grabban MOTM for me. He does so much more than score goals. Wonder if we have an option to sign him permanently at the end of the season.

Given the league situation and the quality of the sides the job here, once they had a man sent off, was for us to go at them and boost our goal difference so yes, job done.  We're into ifs and maybes but by getting 4 today we've made it so a Fulham defeat puts them within range, they were 7 ahead on goal difference before today which was worth an extra point.  Automatic promotion is highly unlikely but all we can do is get the points and goals on the board and see what happens.

Were they predicting a red card for Ipswich?

Excellent win, we have walloped a fair few teams this season. Sunderland down and showing what potentially could have happened to us.

That definitely changed the game, We were on top anyway but we'd been struggling to break them down, even the goal was a bit of lucky deflection onto the post to give houri a tap in.  2nd half they decided to defend the box rather than press us and any team that does that at this level is going to get punished with the attacking quality we have.

Agreed. Small shout out for Whelan who finally played in his best position with obvious instructions to stay there. Very disciplined performance, linking up, always making himself available and looking to pass the ball forward. Better late than never.

Great second half performance, everybody up to speed and putting a shift in. Only Hogan looks like he won't get a start but everybody else is now in with a shout. Some very clinical finishing, one shot on target first half, one goal. Six shots on target and three goals second half. A total of 21 shots on goal today, I imagine it's been some time since we had that many.

Overall a good team performance that sets us up for what should be a great big send off next Saturday at Villa Park. Delighted for our fans that traveled there today, a small pay back for those that suffered the trip to Norwich.

Good stuff let's build some momentum.

Grabban must stay in for play offs and Kodjia on bench of fit.

In Cheltenham General hospital with a poorly Mrs Crump so haven’t been able to follow v closely but well done Villa and I hope Cardiff do slip up because on the evidence of last evenings game I would fancy our chances against anyone else in the Playoffs except Fulham, who do look a properly good footballl team in all fairness.
