Ipswich(4-2-1, 2nd) @ Scunthorpe(4-1-2, 8th)


We're 5:4 favorites on the road today, Scunthorpe are 7:4 to win here. We're 4-4-5 against them lifetime.

GK: Carlos Antonio
D: Kirkland/Henrique/Welsh/Berthet
M: Hughes/Mills/Donnelly/Gordon
ST: Hamilton/Constantino

Scunthorpe ST John Bullock has 7 goals in 7 matches. That's just one less than Constantino has in league play so far.

We change up most of the midfield (leaving Mills in, he's playing so well right now). We open up counter attacking on the road.

12': Two attacking highlights in a row, both throwins in their end, the first has Mills put a ball into the area for Hughes who has a clear cut chance but its right at their keeper. Next throwin, Mills ends up shooting from 25 yards out and its close, but a bit high.

21': Donnelly with a yellow.

40': 20 minutes go by without a highlight.

47': They have a free kick just out wide left, its taken into the area, Mills does a good job heading it out. Hughes recovers the ball and sends it long. Constantino outruns the defense, picking it up just past midfield and he's off... he makes a long run into the area, one defender keeps pretty close but he's clearly behind and shouldn't be putting any pressure on here... the keeper comes out but Constantino blasts it by the keeper and into the net. 1-0

HALF: A slow and fairly boring half with one beautiful counterattacking strike to end the half. We have 6 shots, 4 on target, they have 5. Just a long long lull after the first 15 minutes I suppose.

48': They have a corner, taken to the far end of the 6 yard box, there's a strong header, Carlos Antonio makes a strong save to turn it behind. We clear the second corner.

48': Yellow for their ST Townsend.

58': Jackson in for Gordon, Mariga in for Mills. A little early to sub out key guys but I want them in vs Sheffield Utd in a few days in the League Cup.

63': Hughes gets a yellow.

74': Henrique goes down and he's injured. He looks pretty bad, can stay in but horrible fitness.

77': They have a throwin deep in our end. We have our whole team in the box... we tackle the ball away from a defender, it falls to a man 20 yards out, eh blasts a shot that deflects off a couple of our defenders and falls to ST Bullock... and he takes advantage and sends it into the net. 1-1

The game ends there with neither team threatening again.

Scunthorpe 1 : 1 Ipswich

They get a bit of a lucky goal at the end and we leave with 1 point.

Man of the Match: Constantino (7.3)
