Huddersfield(3rd) @ Ipswich(24-10-5, 1st)

We're pretty big favorites today, we're 4:6 to get a win today, Huddersfield are 7:2. We lost to them 2:1 at their house, lets get revenge at Portman Road today! We're 6-2-4 lifetime.

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

Their scoring is balanced, Jonathan Hughes has 12 goals, Sam Collins 11, Lee Novak 11. We've got our first team back out there for the most part. Mills is more rested than Gordon, I'll go with Mills at AMC today. We're attacking at home.

9': We join a highlight with the offense already set, Donnelly receives a pass 40 yards out, he makes a long run, jukes a defender and waits for just the right moment to punch the ball into the area, Constantino is right there, first to it and he beats the keeper with relative ease! Donnelly with a great effort here. 1-0

25': Mills tries a shot from 20 yards out, blocked and we get a corner. the first is sent back for a second, the second is cleared out. Not a lot of highlights here, Huddersfield has yet to take a shot.

31': They slowly build up the offense, passing it around the right side nicely, there's a pass ahead to Striker Novac, Bruce is there but he just runs with the forward, trying to steer him out wide I guess. Maybe he tried to tackle and miss? Maybe he's just old and slow, I'm not entirely sure, but Novak is able to run into the area and drive a shot under Murphy and into the net. Bruce takes the blame for the goal. 1-1

HALF: The half flies by after that goal. Bruce has a 5.6 rating for the goal we allowed and will hopefully recover nicely. We have an incredible 67/33 possession edge but haven't done enough with it yet. We have 5 shots, 2 on target. Their goal is the only shot they get all half. We'll hope to dominate the second half possession as well and have it pay off in another goal or two.

51': We clear the ball out of the defense, Kirkland sends it super long out right (cross field, Kirkland is DL etc). Constantino is of course the first to it, he runs towards the area as our offense has caught up, constantino crosses, Khan with the header... the keeper deflects it and it hits the left post, so close!

68': We've only allowed one more shot but we haven't quite managed the goal we need to take the lead.

76': constantino with a weak header after an attacking move, we're getting shots, they're not, we're controlling possession, but just can't get it.

That's it, the last 15+ minutes fly by and we just can't get the winning goal.

Ipswich 1 : 1 Huddersfield

We shoot 13 times and control 61% of the possession but they do just enough to keep it out of the net. We had 3 clear cut chances, a couple really strong shots that should have scored and didn't. They only shoot twice, a real dominating performance minus the whole winning the game thing.

Man of the Match: Constantino (7.3)
Goal: Constantino
Assist: Donnelly (7.2)
Notables: Khan (7.1)

Stoke loses today so that creates a really fun top 4 with only 6 matches to go:

1. Ipswich - 83 pts
2. Stoke - 81 pts
--------------------------
3. Huddersfield - 81 pts
4. Watford - 80 pts
5. Hull - 78 pts
6. Burnley - 77 pts
-------------------
7. QPR - 75 pts

QPR has one less match than everyone else so seeing them in 7th is slightly deceptive. The end of this season is set up to be crazy exciting!
