-- Arsenal beat Man Utd 4:2 to win the league cup. Wow, 21 y/o ST Hans Nooij has 0 goals in 7 league matches this year, they're just starting to break him in. But he had all 4 of their goals in the cup final. And to address Tellisto's comment from earlier on what it takes to get a 10 rating... apparently 4 goals isn't it! That's good for a 9.8.

Injury Update

-- DRC Michael McKerr turns his ankle and is going to miss 4 weeks. That's a shame. That's on March 9th.

-- McDonald Mariga hurts himself in the weight room and is out for 2 weeks. March 12th.

-- ST Valeri Bojinov hurts his calf in training. 3 weeks! March 15th.

-- GK Carlos Antonio resumes full training. Maybe we can finally get an extended look at our new keeper.

March 17th, 2019

Ipswich(3-3-24, 19th) @ Southampton(11-8-11, 10th)

They are 1:2 favorites at their place, making us 9:2 dogs. We beat these guys at our place 2:1 earlier in the year. We're on TV today.

GK: Antonio
D: Kirkland/Fryers/Henrique/Berthet
M: Hughes/Yebda/Donnelly/Gordon
AMC: Kang
ST: Constantino

Southampton ST Tomas Necid has 15 goals, one of 7 players to have 15 or 16 league goals right now.

Hughes starts at ML today, Antonio starts in goal, I think everything else is pretty standard given our 4 current injuries.

3': Yebda turns it over in our end and they look to attack right away, a pass to one of their strikers, Henrique comes way out to defend, leaving a hole in the back, ST Sturridge fills the open space, receives a pass and shoots near post and Carlos Antonio has no chance. 0-1

23': We have a goal kick, its taken long and their defense is playing very high, there's a huge amount of space between the defensive line and the penalty area.. the ball bounces free, Kang runs onto it and into the area, he's got a clear cut chance.. but runs too far with it I think.. and the keeper easily pushes it behind for a corner, which they clear.

39': They earn a corner, taken short, we have to fight hard to tackle it away but finally do and clear. They have 11 shots, all the highlights are theirs.

45': Hughes has it in our end... but he doesn't seem to know what to do. He stands around awhile and passes ahead... right to one of their defenders to start up the action. They quickly work it to Sturridge who shoots from 20 yards out and its a strong blast into the upper right corner of the net.. no chance. 0-2

HALF: We don't look good at all today. Maybe they want revenge for us getting the win at home, or just inconsistency, but this is a huge dropoff for us.

51': Donnelly gets open for a shot from 20 yards out but not enough pace, the keeper saves pretty easily.

65': There's a long ball from Gordon out near midfield towards the area, Constantino runs by the defense and possesses it beautifully, great control of such a long pass through the air. After that its clinical, he easily beats the keeper! 1-2

66': they build up after kickoff.. the ball goes out wide left, a cross comes through the 6 yard box, Hughes goes up to try to win a header... and is called for a penalty... Sturridge takes it and that's his hat trick. 1-3

76': They're really piling it on.. Sturridge gets the assist this time to go with his 3 goals, hitting a man coming in from the left with a nice pass and easy goal. Berthet takes the blame for this one and we might see multiple men under 5.0 here.

87': At least our offense didn't stop playing, Gordon receives a pass 25 yards out well right, he lofts a ball into the area, Constantino runs onto it and strikes it very nicely by the keeper! 2-4

93': At the end of added time they get a sub on the board just for kicks. A free kick goes to a man 20 yards out and he drives a shot into the left side of the net. 2-5

Southampton 5 : 2 Ipswich

This just got completely out of hand.

Goals: Constantino 2 (8.8)
Assists: Gordon 2 (7.5)

Kang 5.7, Henrique 5.9, Fryers 5.0... Berthet 4.4........ Hughes 3.6.

That's it for Hughes. He got a solid taste of top level action after coming off loan but his last two matches have resulted in a red card and one of the lowest ratings I'll see all year. He's going to spend the rest of the year with the reserves and will be featured heavily at the Championship level next year.

We're now 16 points out of 17th with 7 to play. Our next match against Watford will very likely decide who finishes 19th and who finishes 20th, there's a million bucks or so riding on that placement, so we'll watch the highlights for that. After that we rush through the rest of the year.
