Ipswich Town 2 v 3 Millwall SkyBet Championship Tuesday, 1st January 2019 Kick-off 15:00 |
harlingblue added 02:18 - Jan 2 An excellent first half by Town, ahead with a fine early goal from the impressive Lankester, Harrison leading the line well (despite not getting anything from a very poor Ref), should have made the game safe had Sears had his shooting boots on. The second half was a different matter. Millwall adding a more rugged approach to their game, bypassing midfield and hitting longer balls into the heart of our defence, which was found wanting. Keystone Cop defending saw our lead wiped out, and soon 3-1 down with costly mistakes being made by Chambers, Spence and Pennington for each of their goals. Jackson scored a blistering goal, but too close to the end for a chance of a fight back. One thing that I noted, and it really gets my goat, why do we play these quick, short ball freekicks when we need to slow the game down, push players forward and deliver a longer ball? Have a look at how Millwall closed us down from such a freekick on our left, culminating with Chambers giving away a penalty, when being attacked from the right.
