Thank you. Just downloaded this, fingers crossed it works well. If not, back to the streams, but thanks for the heads up. 

 

It does - was watching the warm up just a minute ago

Pretty sure the fella on the trumpet hit a few bum notes there

[Saint NL]

Do WBA have a player called "Okay"? 

 

[Saint NL]

Yes smallbone

 

Another great start

Boom!

[adrian lord]

1-0!!!!!!

[OttawaSaint]

Boner!!!

[Suhari]

Smallbone pokes one in!

Afternoon all.

[stknowle]

GTFI! Close though!

[ChrisPY]

Championship Lampard!

[Bad Wolf]

Didn't even look like it went in!

[Saint NL]

No good angle to see the ball over the line, but it counts.

Need to keep it tight....

[adrian lord]

Beauty.

 

Is there goal-line technology in the Champ?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Get in!!

Lovely pass through from Alcaraz to Stu, nice cut back towards AA. Gets to Smallbone who did really well running in to pick wqhen AA's shot was saved by the keeper's leg.

[OttawaSaint]

Need to see a slower version, that's really close. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nearly let them straight back in.

Always an issue with a Smallbone.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone gets it away at the other end.

We've got to address the switching off that occurs when we score.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Nervous about this one but great goal. Must capitalise on this now!

[trousers]

[Greedyfly]

Great start that against this type of team. Let's capitalise on what will hopefully be a bit more space.

Hopefully we can keep this up and Ipswich have a wobble.

I believe there is because the linesman didn't give it, ref didn't at first but then did.

More wobble please and thank you.

 

Leicester too...

cheers. 

[Patches O Houlihan]

Some lovely threaded direct through balls so far 👏

[Saint Fan CaM]

Sully looking a bit too relaxed - but careless.

[Bad Wolf]

How is Sully so slow without the ball but so quick with it?

[Saint NL]

Downes has been very good so far, seems to win everything that comes near him

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We're in that spell where they aren;t coming onto our defence. We're generally happy to pass it around.

A nice direct effort from the back gets us out of it, which is good to see.

WBA have tried to use that full back gap, but haven;t been able to be accurate enough as yet.

When we lost it outside their box, we had enough bodies to prevent a break. So things we've learned as the season have gone on.

[OttawaSaint]

We seem to get into great spots with multiple options for a chance and then freeze because the player can't decide quickly enough.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

AA races out to get the ball from the middle, after Sule loses out on a challenge.

His work rate is a massive plus.

[Bad Wolf]

Leeds score

[Saint NL]

Armstrong just offside

[Bad Wolf]

Ipswich now winning

[Patches O Houlihan]

We are bossing this so far!

From Bad Wolf to Bad News

[Saint Fan CaM]

Those offsides are very very dubious!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I think AA realised he didn;t have the pace there, or perhaps he decided for a chip.

The move up to it was excellent. A pass across picked up by Baz, a pass out to KWP who took a look, and decided possession was better. A pass back to DMC Downes, who is really solid so far. His direct ball goes to Smallbone and then directly onto the onrunning AA.

A lovely mix of the possession, distribution from the keeper and incisive teamwork to create a chance.

That's MartinBall working.

Yep, looked on when the ball was played.

He wasn't though. Lino got that wrong.

[Saint NL]

Alcarez looks a real talent when he's in the mood 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone probably wasn;t the best option for that shot. But in a good place to pick up the pass from KWP.

But excellent from Alcaraz from deep, making the right decision, moving clear into space, and picking out a really good pass.

[Disco Stu]

Sulemana faffing.
