-- We loan out youth ST Eoin Darcy to Shrewsbury for 3 months. They're my best feeder team and are in 2nd in League 1. They've already got my youth GK Roberts and reserve ST Rob Kershaw. Darcy should push them over the edge.

Ipswich(7-5-9, 11th) @ Tottenham(13-3-6, 3rd)

Tottenham are 4:6 favorites today, we're 7:2 to get a win. Tottenham are having a hell of a season to be up in 3rd place at this point. They beat us 1:0 in September and we're 0-1-6 lifetime against them.

GK: Capitani
D: Kirkland/Mattle/O'Brien/Heywood
M: Adagsmar/Mills/Clifford/Gordon
F: Bendtner/Bryan

We play again in 3 days, I rest Hughes (Adagsmar in), Donnelly(Mills in) and Constantino (Bendtner in).

14': We earn a corner, its cleared but Kirkland sends it out wide for Gordon, he puts a great cross into the area for Bryan who heads it in... but he's very clearly offside.

22': Kirkland with a foul about 23ish yards out. They shoot on the free kick but its wide.

24': Yellow for defender Zimmerman.

34': yellow for Neil Gordon.

43': yellow for midfielder Dvorak

HALF: We get into the locker room scoreless after a very boring half, a good sign for us. We shoot 3 times, nothing on target yet. They have 5 shots, 1 on target. 5 of the 8 total shots are from long range. We are passing, tackling and heading better than them, though all 3 are close, and we have a slight possession edge. We'll face more pressure after halftime and we'll see how that works out.

68': There it is, we look sloppy trying to clear it out and finally give the ball away in midfield. They get ST Rix positioned to scoot behind our defense during a couple loose balls that all seem to fall right to Tottenham players, he receives a pass and scores easily. O'Brien takes the blame for that one. 0-1

70': Constantino in for Bryan, Doran in for Gordon, we'll make an effort to come out of our defensive shell here.

91': They win a ball in midfield and get a run down the right side... a pass comes into the area, Kirkland slows it down but doesn't fully get the interception there, ST Molnar is there in the area and gets the shot off and scores. 0-2

Tottenham 2 : 0 Ipswich

The ratings don't really reflect what I saw in the highlights. What I saw in the highlights were Mills and Clifford losing the ball non stop in midfield to start breaks for Tottenham.

Kirkland earns a 7.0 rating today. Capitani 6.1, Heywood 5.9, O'Brien 5.5, Gordon 5.9.

By sitting Constantino we basically signaled that we feel like we have a better shot against Huddersfield in our next match, but still, the effort today was pretty shitty.
