New Ipswich Record

-- Constantino's 27 goals for Ipswich is a new team record. Jon Stead had the record previously with 26 goals in 2013.

-- MC Josh Walker resumes full training. He's a backup but we've had less than zero midfield depth for awhile now due to injury. Walker will help a ton.

-- DR Sylvain Berthet resumes full training. That's huge for us, he's a big upgrade over McKerr in the defense.

-- We're hosting Leeds in our next match and we're expecting to hit another near capacity crowd of over 29,000.

Leeds(10-9-14, 14th) @ Ipswich(20-8-4, 2nd)

We're 1:2 favorites again here today, Leeds 9:2 to get a win today. We're 3-4-6 lifetime against these guys, tying 1:1 back in early October.

GK: Murphy
D: Kirkland/Brown/Bruce/Gudmundsson
DMC: Paulo
MC: Donnelly/Bennett
AMC: Mills
ST: Khan/Lewis

Steve Carroll leads Leeds with 18 goals this year, that's currently tied for 4th in the Championship. Rob Lewis starts for the injured Constantino. Bennett is back starting at MC. Gudmundsson starts at DR, Berthet isn't quite ready to start yet. The big question today clearly will be to see if we can score without Constantino out there. We'll attack today.

10': Each team has two off target shots early.

26': Lots of highlights, this seems like a very wide open and fun game but from a reporting perspective not so much. Lots of pretty buildup leading to crappy shots.

41': Leeds build up down the left side, there's a ball into the area from about 35 yards out all the way at the left sideline, Carroll is so fast, he sprints by Gudmundsson and is first to it, shooting to the far post and beating Murphy before we have a chance to react. 0-1

HALF: Each team has 6 shots but the only one that was even halfway decent was the goal. A couple were on target but from long range and very weak stuff. 4 of our 6 shots are from long range here so far. Troy Brown is getting killed in the air and has a 5.3 rating so far (winning only 2 of 12 headers), Khan has a 5.9 up front as well, perhaps with some improvements from them we can get this one back.

46': We earn a corner right out of the gate, attacking quickly, Mills shoots from 20 yards out and its blocked behind for the corner, but its cleared easily.

58': We push the ball forward, getting a number of men into the area, Donnelly receives a pass out left and gets very deep, but they intercept when he tries to center it for our attackers.

62': They get a really good look after a cross, Murphy has to make a reflex save. On the corner they send it to the far end of the 6 yard box... a header.. off the crossbar and over. Whew.

73': Rob Lewis is tired... Walker comes in for him. Mills moves up to forward and Walker drops to MC, leaving us without an AMC, 4-1-3-2.

86': Fryers in for Paulo. He moves back to DC and Bruce is up to DMC.

We just can't generate any sort of attack today. Embarrassing to see how much we struggled without Constantino today.

Ipswich 0 : 1 Leeds

Notables: Gudmundsson (7.2), Paulo (7.0), Donnelly (7.2)

We end up with 13 shots but only 3 on target and 8 from long range, just a massive struggle.
