March 7th, 2018

Ipswich(20-9-5, 2nd) @ Leicester(15-13-7, 8th)

Leicester are very slim 6:4 favorites today, we're 13:8 to get a win here, 2:1 to draw. We tied them 1-1 back in October and are 4-9-3 lifetime against them, draws are basically how this series has gone. They're 9 points out of the playoffs, they need wins.

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

Gary Madine leads them with 15 goals, Kike Sola has 10, Paul Gallagher 8. Bennett and Gudmundsson are away on international duty ( I missed that notice). Walker will start at MC today. We're defending here today.

12': Bruce goes for a tackle and misses, allowing striker Kike Sola into the area, he's got the first shot of the match, a clear cut chance, but Murphy is able to get down and make the save. They get a corner that we clear easily.

16': We win a ball in midfield and there's a counter, Khan with a run deep down the left side, there's a lot of guys from both sides in the area, a couple go up for the header and no one gets it, the ball falls to Walker in the area, he shoots, but its saved by the keeper.

34': We have a throwin in their end, its taken short and passed to Mills who is 20 yards out, he shoots from there, its a solid shot, but just inches over.

38': Donnelly with a foul about 25 yards out. We clear out the free kick easily.

HALF: Couple decent chances for each team, they shoot 6 times, putting 3 on target, we shoot 3 times, just 1 on target. We've got a big 60/40 possession edge. We're getting destroyed in the air, they win 78% of their headers, we win 28% of ours so far. Each team has an average rating of ~6.5 so far, a very average game.

48': Khan has the ball out left, he weaves through two defenders to get a shot, its saved by the keeper, a really nice move though.

50': Constantino makes a run into the area to earn us a corner but its cleared easily.

54': They make a run down the left, drawing two defenders out, we've got a bunch of guys in the area though, they get it to Midfielder Woeseleski in the left side of the area, he fires a shot... it deflects off a defender and into the net... ugggh, good bit of luck there. 0-1

59': Jordan Ford comes on for Walker, Neil Gordon is on for Mills at AMC. We'll try to attack to get this goal back.

80': 20 minutes fly by... We earn a corner as a shot is blocked out, corner is cleared.

83': Constantino picked up a knock and his fitness is waaaaay down (not hurt though). I bring Rob Lewis in for him to try to get a last minute goal.

88': Neil Gordon should have tied it up... we win a ball in the midfield, Khan down the left, a pass into the area for Gordon and he's 10 yards out unmarked... except he doesn't control the ball at all, this was a low pass on the ground from just a few yards away, that had to be a goal, awful.

91': Kirkland with a yellow. 4 minutes of added time here.

94': We pass the ball through the area, there's a solid 15+ men in the box, it goes out right to Berthet, he pulls it back, passes to Paulo who is 25 yards away. Paulo strikes it, maybe on a volley, and its a rocket of a shot that somehow isn't blocked by anyone crowding the penalty area and it's by the keeper, holy crap!!!! Unbelievable goal for Paulo!!! 1-1

That was at 93:45. That was very likely the last shot we would have gotten.

Leicester 1 : 1 Ipswich

Man of the Match: Sylvain Berthet (7.8)
Goals: Paulo (7.3)
Assist: Berthet

No one else puts up a rating over 7. Alex Bruce is 0 for 11 in the air today and has a 5.3 rating.

We temporarily move into first today. This match was rescheduled for some reason though, the rest of the league is playing 3 days later on the 10th. We've got over a week off now, playing again on the 17th.
