Your Ipswich Town v Derby County Match Reports

philpott2 added 22:20 - Oct 21 Thought Edmondson had a fabulous game tonight. Jackson worked very hard. Walton was very sharp. Poor old Janoi really worked hard, had to deal with a number of passes that were underhit or behind him and it seemed he then found it difficult to get his passes away to the intended target. Most was much more controlled after the early yellow.....that may well have done him and us/ITFC a favour as he was then much calmer. Well done Ipswich...a win, and on the telly! Awesome.

Littleun added 22:41 - Oct 21 A good performance by town. Thought we deserved to win that one, we were the better team (as we normally are to be fair). Nice to finally have a team that didn't play 10 men behind the ball! Thought the back line was pretty solid tonight and kept Derby to few chances and good to see Burns being a bit more effective going forward. A hard fought win against a good side and great to finally get the sky hoodoo off our backs. John-Jules and Jackson we're pretty effective tonight as well (apart from the penalty!). COYB!

timleatham added 22:45 - Oct 21 Great result against a tough team. I did not think we played as well as we can however Burns and Jackson were excellent and Harness also had a good game. The defence looked solid but did not create enough going forward. We struggled to generate much down the left. Everyone gave 100% and sets up a for a great weekend. Will go to bed very happy!

SuffPunch added 22:54 - Oct 21 A proper football match. 3rd division, on TV on a Friday night and still over 28,000 there. Cagey and tense first half, but we rose to the top second half. Atmosphere second half was electric. Fair play to Derby for playing their part. Perfect start to the weekend.

Global_Blue added 00:45 - Oct 22 I thought it was an excellent, really high quality game, and better than some of the games you'll see in the Premier League each weekend. Both teams came for a battle and played well. But, we were so much better than a very good Derby side, and should have won by a more comfortable margin. Hard to single out a player for particular praise but I thought Jackson did well, despite the very poor penalty. Walton was excellent, on his toes whenever it mattered, the defence were solid, and the midfield, I can't remember when we last had such a confidence inspiring pairing dominating the game in the middle of the park producing week in week out. It is a great time to be watching Ipswich. Word of praise too for some of the Derby players. Cashin looked really good, as did Wildsmith. And it was great to see McGoldrick back. My only grumble is that we need to be much more clinical and ruthless in the final third, especially against teams as good as Derby. Fortunately, we're getting better at seeing games out, but more clinical finishing would means less frayed nerves in the last quarter of the game.

grinch added 08:59 - Oct 22 Cannot understand the voting. Jackson was MOM even Sky gave it to him Wolfy just has to play and he gets top marks where he slows the play at back all the time and Doncian covers his mistakes if Donacian was not at the back Town would suffer where as they won't miss Wolfy in my opinion and Morsey had a poor game tonight Evans was superior in every aspect

aljames added 09:24 - Oct 22 Towns display excellent again. It was a team performance . High pressing , the workload, flashes of swift interpassing bode well for rest of season if we maintain high standard. Not perfect by any means but expectation is that the only way is UP from here.
