Ipswich(26-11-6, 1st) @ Swansea(11-11-21, 19th)


We're even money to win on the road here. We're an even 5-5-5 against them in our history. We beat them 2:0 at our place back in December.

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

Swansea's Aaron Spear has 15 goals, Tope Obadeyi has 14 goals. Spear is listed as their most dangerous threat. We run the same lineup today that we ran last week against Fulham last week. We're attacking on the road.

11': Constantino receives an outlet pass near midfield on the right side, he controls it well and is off to the races... he beats everyone down field but they catch up as he cuts into the area, Constantino dodges one defender, then another, he's got a clear cut chance... and the keeper saves it. That would have been the highlight of the year had he finished it off. Damn!

31': There's a bit of a battle for the ball as Swansea try to buildup an attack, Donnelly wins it for good for us, a quick pass to Khan, long ball ahead, Constantino runs by the entire defense to get to it first, into the area, easy, easy finish. 1-0

37': We build up again on offense, a couple passes around the right side of the pitch, Bennett centers it to Donnelly, he puts a through ball into the area, Steve Mills breaks to it first and he's learning from Constantino, a perfect poachers strike and goal! 2-0

HALF: We end up with 10 shots, we had a quick flurry of highlights around the 20 minute mark but nothing worth reporting. They only shoot once. It feels like we have this well in hand but we will keep the pressure on here.

69': Bennett with a yellow. They don't have a shot this half yet.

72': They try a counter attack and get a shot but its from 25 yards out and wide. That's two!

76': They look to get forward again, midfielder Rangel beats Kirkland pretty badly, he gets down the right side, passes into the area, there's a shot... saved by Murphy, rebound to their star Spear... and put into the net before Murphy can recover. 2-1

We hold them off easily to finish off an incredibly boring second half.

Swansea 1 : 2 Ipswich

Man of the Match: Steve Mills (8.0)
Goals: Mills, Constantino (7.5)
Assists: Khan (7.5), Donnelly (7.6)
