Swansea(3-1-2, 11th) @ Ipswich(3-2-1, 6th)

We are very large 4:7 favorites at home today. Its a close series over the last decade, we're 6-5-5 against them, winning both matches the year we promoted up.

GK: Carlos Antonio
D: Kirkland/Henrique/Burke/Berthet
M: Turgay Colak/Mills/Mariga/Jackson
ST: Hamilton/Constantino

We rotate some guys as we play again in 4 days. Mariga, Jackson start in the midfield, loaner Vinny Burke at DC. Attack attack.

11': Their striker scoots by Henrique to receive a through ball, he gets a clear cut chance but Carlos Antonio makes a good stop.

18': Fantastic quick attack, a ball goes forward, Hamilton wins a header in the midfield, flicking it over to Constantino. Constantino passes back to Mills, Mills with a ball into the area, Hamilton runs onto it and strikes it to the far post by the keeper! 1-0

25': Not so happy with the defense here. They get a throwin in our end, and its another through ball to a man who just ran right by Henrique... maybe we thought they were offsides... its another clear cut chance and this one is finished. 1-1

37': They have a goal kick, it comes down about 20 yards from our goal... Carlos Antonio ran out for the ball, a huge mistake... they win the header for it, heading it towards the net but its luckily just wide.

39': Another Swansea attack, and Henrique just looks bad, ST Spear receives it 20 yards out, Henrique flat out misses the tackle, he turns and is into the area, easy goal. 1-2

43': We have a corner, they clear it but we recover. Mills puts a ball perfectly into the area in between their two central defenders. Constantino is there to receive the ball and we're able to quickly equalize. 2-2

HALF: Henrique has been beaten badly 3 times so far today but somehow is rating is a 6.5. Lots of successful passes and 5/5 on headers. He's also made 6 interceptions. I'm going to drop back to a standard mindset here. Mariga and Mills are both way more offensive minded in the midfield, I wonder if leaving Donnelly out of the lineup allows these things to happen a little more often. Or just bad luck, who knows. We do shoot 7 times to their 5, each team has 3 on target. We've got an amazing amount of possession, 64%, they're just hitting us with a couple quick strikes.

56': Steven Mills is having an awesome game. A pass comes in from a defender as we set up on offense, Mills plays it forward with his first touch and its an inch perfect pass for Constantino, he's in the area, has a step on his man and is able to put it in the net! 3-2

80': More great passing for Ipswich, we build up after a throwin in the midfield. Mills with a pass to Constantino, a little ways out right, he passes ahead into the area, Hamilton runs onto it perfectly and hits it with his first touch... but its wide. I love Hamilton in the air but his finishing is not the best, he's going to miss some of those that Constantino almost never does.

87': We attack, a cross comes in from the right towards the far post, Turgay Colak is there, heads it, the keeper has to dive to push it away. A defender goes to make a clearance but mishits it and puts it into his own net! 4-2

94': We have a free kick in our own end. Carlos Antonio sends it down the left. Turgay Colak wins a header and sends it to Hamilton, he makes a run out wide to the left, passes to constantino who is 20 yards out, Constantino turns by his man and strikes and blows it by the keeper!! It was a slow start but we made it look like a huge blowout by the time the final whistle comes. 5-2

Ipswich 5 : 2 Swansea

Man of the Match: Constantino (9.5)
Goals: Constantino 3, Hamilton 1 (7.9), 1 own goal
Assists: Mills 3 (9.0), Hamilton, Turgay Colak (7.8)
