Charlton(13-8-23, 17th) @ Ipswich(27-11-6, 1st)

We're massive, massive home favorites today, 1:2 to their 9:2. We beat them 2-1 at their place earlier in the year and have an incredible 9-0-2 record against them lifetime.

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

I consider putting Neil Gordon back in the lineup but why change what's working just fine right now. We'll attack today again.

8': Very very quick strike for us, Donnelly at midfield, he sends a ball into the area on one bounce, Constantino just beats the defense to it and scores easily. This was after winning a ball in our defensive end, a very quick score for us. 1-0

10': Another counter, this one ahead to Khan, he's out left, cutting inside, there's a man near him, he could shoot or pass to Constantino who might have a better look... but he shoots, keeper has to dive and makes the save. Corner is cleared, we push it back in but take a long shot that's saved.

23': We get a free kick outside the area a little left of center. Berthet takes it and fires a shot, the keeper has to tip it behind, it was a great looking shot. We shoot off the corner but its blocked and cleared.

26': Bennett makes an interception in the midfield as they try to start an attack, Bennett turns and starts the offense quickly, passing ahead to Mills, there are 3 or 4 defenders closely guarding Mills and Constantino, but Mills is able to get a pass through, Constantino is able to control the ball and score... one of their men takes the blame for missing an interception. 2-0

31': We have a corner, taken, a man goes down, penalty!! Constantino takes the PK and he's got a 31st minute hat trick. 3-0

37': We build up down the right side, a couple nice passes get Constantino the ball deep down the right side, he passes back to Berthet, Berthet centers to Donnelly. Donnelly has it 20 yards out, he turns and fires from there, and he beats the keeper, directly into the left half of the net!!! 4-0

HALF: Well this is nice.

60': Another penalty.. we have a corner, send it to the far end of the 6 yard box, our man goes down and a PK is given. Khan takes this one and gets on the board. 5-0

78': They get one back, a move down the right, cross in, we've got 3 guys in the area, they have one of their forwards there, but he wins the header and beats Murphy. That really looked like we weren't trying anymore. Hard to blame the guys.

Easy enough.

Ipswich 5 : 1 Charlton

Man of the Match: Constantino (9.5)
Goals: Constantino 3, Donnelly (9.1), Khan (8.8)
Assists: Berthet (7.7), Brown (7.5), Donnelly, Mills (7.2), Khan
Notables: Kirkland (7.7), Bruce (7.2), Bennett (7.3)

We effectively clinch promotion by winning so big today. Stoke or Burnley can tie us in points but we are now +8 in goal differential on Stoke and +14 over Burnley.

Huddersfield wins and has second in their grasp if they can win their last match.

1. Ipswich - 93 pts
2. Huddersfield - 91 pts
------------------------------
3. Stoke - 90 pts
4. Burnley - 90 pts
5. QPR - 87 pts
6. Watford - 84 pts

Hull have 81 points so Watford haven't officially clinched either but they are +20 in goal differential.

So effectively Ipswich have clinched promotion to the Premier League. We haven't won the league yet, Huddersfield could still do that if we lose. Huddersfield hasn't clinched promotion yet, Stoke or Burnley both could get that.
