-- GK Dominic Johnson turned down 3 contracts, saying they weren't good enough for him, so he's still with us. And now he's broken his wrist and is out for 6-7 weeks.

Ipswich @ Barnsley


We are slim 5:4 favorites on the road against Barnsley. Barnsley won League 1 last year and have a 1-1-0 start here in the Championship.

GK: Carlos Antonio
D: Kirkland/Burke/Henrique/McKerr
M: Turgay Colak/Mills/Donnelly/Gordon
ST: Hamilton/Constantino

loaner DC Vinny Burke gets his first start of the year for Welsh today. Turgay Colak back at ML, Mills/Donnelly mids.

3': They get two quick shots on target but both are easily parried by Antonio... we get the ball forward, Constantino at the edge of the area, there's 3 defenders on top of him, one wins the ball, tries to clear, but it hits one of the other men in the area and trickles away... Constantino races to it and has space and puts it in the net! 1-0

14': A quick counterattack, a pass ahead to Constantino, he lays it off to Donnelly, Donnelly has space, runs into the area and easily beats the keeper! 2-0

33': Both teams have 7 shots, they've tried to press a little but our defense is faster than theirs and we aren't allowing any openings.

44': Buildup down the right, McKerr pulls up 30 yards out and crosses into the area and by god this is working. Simon Hamilton gets above his man, wins a header and its in the net! 3-0

HALF: Vinny Burke got hurt at the very end of the half and his fitness is shot. We're putting Welsh in immediately. We shoot 9 times with 6 on target, 2 clear cut chances, and 60% of the possession. They shoot 7 times, 4 on target. We're winning 80% of our headers and limiting them to 37% in the air, that's what I want to see.

46': We get a free kick from 40 yards out, Gordon takes it and its a great shot that hits the crossbar, close!

64': They clear a ball out of our end, a header goes from the midfield to say 30 yards out... and Carlos Antonio decides to rush out for the ball. Its a race between him and striker Weghorn... and he loses. A horrid decision by our keeper. They recover the ball first, their man skips over our keeper and puts it into the empty net. That was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far out. 3-1

71': Hamilton ahead to Constantino, he's in the area.. and tackled hard, penalty! Constantino takes it and buries it. 4-1

79': They inexplicably get a long through ball by our defense and to a forward from way too far away, we've been intercepting these every time, Carlos Antonio comes out though and this time its a great decision, he blocks a clear cut chance.

85': We attack down the left side, Turgay Colak gets down near the end line, puts a cross into the area, it hits a defender and changes path a bit, falling in the penalty area. Steven Mills is the first one there and he puts it into the upper right corner of the net! His first Ipswich goal! 5-1


Great win, and maybe we're starting to get on a roll.

Barnsley 1 : 5 Ipswich
