League Cup 3rd Round

Ipswich(7th, CH) @ Sheffield Utd(1st, EPL)


Sheffield Utd are 5-0-1 in the EPL and are currently rockin first place. The one advantage we may have is that they played their first Champions League match recently and their next two matches are at Arsenal and another champions league match, so it seems like there's a good chance we won't be taken seriously. They are 4:7 favorites and we're 4:1 dogs.

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

Burke starts for the injured Henrique, Turgay Colak back in at ML today. We'll defend.

25': Sheffield Utd has their keeper get injured. Before he can be subbed off we have a strong attacking move and Hamilton has a nice shot just saved. They sub out their keeper and clear the corner.

29': Mills is hurt. He can stay in but I'll bring Mariga in at the half.

39': we have a throwin in their end, a pass goes to Mills, he puts a great ball into the area, Constantino runs onto it and its the first clear cut chance for either team... but the keeper makes the save. Dang!

43': They earn a corner, we clear it out of the area but they recover, settle for a long shot though and its high.

49': Lots of added time here, they have a throwin in our end, a pass goes into the area and ... I dunno, in the struggle for the ball Welsh goes down after missing a tackle, leaving their man wide open in the area. Carlos Antonio rushes their striker... and makes a brilliant save!! WHEW.

HALF: They have 7 shots, 3 on target with 1 clear cut chance. We're doing alright holding our own here, 6 shots, 4 on target with 1 clear cut chance. Carlos Antonio has a 7.3 rating at the half, no one else is anywhere close. Mariga in for Mills.

48': They build up and get a man free in the area after a nice through ball, its their second clear cut chance and another brilliant save by Carlos Antonio!

51': Another attack for Sheffield Utd, a cross into the area, Welsh tries to clear it but its a weak thing that doesn't even leave the area, their man Broers is there and blasts it into the net before we can react. 0-1

66': We earn a free kick from 25 yards out. Gordon takes it and puts in a nice shot, but the keeper gets to it and turns it over for a corner. Corner goes nowhere.

73': DC Welsh is hurt...

We try to attack in the last 10 minutes but can't get anything done.

Sheffield Utd 1 : 0 Ipswich

Their scorer is man of the match. We played pretty well here. Welsh took the blame for the goal and didn't win many headers and ended with an awful 4.8 rating before he got hurt. Everyone else is in the 6.5-6.9 range.

We did meet expectations making the 3rd round.


Neither of our guys that got hurt during the match have any long term issues, but it may impact their readiness for yet another game on short rest coming up.
