according to Stuart Watson, and I agree. And fair play to Maidstone. |  | | |  |

Here's what Stuart Watson says in writing.
"Ultimately, every ingredient you need for an FA Cup upset of this magnitude all came together.
The favourites wasted some glorious chances during a dominant opening spell, most notably through Aluko and Edmundson.
The underdogs also got the bit of fortune they needed when shots from Sarmiento and Hutchinson both came back off the woodwork inside the opening 10 minutes.
Maidstone, by contrast, were ultra clinical on their rare breakaways. Lamar Reynolds’ dinked finish to break the deadlock just before half-time was sublime, while Sam Corne was equally ice cool when picking his spot to restore the lead in the 66th minute.
The Kent side’s keeper, Lucas Covolan, had the game of his life, making several outstanding saves.
And the visitors also got the rub of the green from the referee too. Anthony Taylor failed to spot a clear shirt pull on Sarmiento in the build-up to the winner and could easily have given a penalty to Ipswich when Edmundson went to ground (perhaps a little dramatically) in the box.
Ipswich had 78% possession. The shot count was 38-2. The corner count was 11-0.
Play this game 100 times over and Ipswich win it 99 times. This, frustratingly, was just one of those days." | | | |

And he's 100% correct. In the first 15 I thought we were about to run up a cricket score.
Then Maidstone got everyone behind the ball and defended for their lives, we played too high, dis-respected them a little if I'm honest, and got caught on the break twice. It happens. [Post edited 28 Jan 11:28]

That high press of ours yesterday leaving no-one back to cover the inevitable breakaways was a tactical error by KM imho - and this is the first time I've ever really criticised him I think! |  |

If we had have scored one of those chances in the first 15 or so, it's a completely different day. Even when we pulled it back to 1-1, it should have been a different outcome.
I wasn't entirely shocked we went 1 down, that should have been the cup magic incident of the game, but to then go 2-1 down after equalising, I was absolutely gobsmacked. |  |
