To be fair, a nice goal from them going totally against the ebb of play. Still see a 2-1 win for us. I hope.

Town easily the better side - plenty more to come and McKenna astute at making crucial alterations at half-time

Defenders should have been looking at the ball not the player ☹️

We need a goal for sure but also for Morsy to survive the rest of the game without a card.

It doesn’t look like it to me . It’s pretty much a one way battering at the moment with only one team looking to win. The only danger is it could leave us exposed on the break.

A triple change for a 5 minute onslaught to try to win this game. There‘s definitely no settling for a draw by McKenna.

Woolfie just given away an unnecessary free kick in the final seconds which could have proved costly.

Very good game......, immensely underwhelmed though. Should've won that.

29,611 the highest attendance of the season so far. Final score 2-2 and a great game of football but 2 points dropped given our dominance and chances over 90 minutes.

We had the ball 65% of the time and a draw. A little frustrating. About ten minutes before their second goal, I was thinking no matter the sport or country, a rivalry game will have a play that sticks in a side’s craw. Unfortunately it was us, that guy looked offside and was blocking our goalie

Their second goal would never have stood in the Ordmier League with VAR.

Win our next 2 games and all will be forgotten.

Absolutely gutted as we killed them and deserved the win, lost it in first half really with some shocking misses which are equally as bad as poor defending, Broadhead cost us big time.

I thought it was an excellent game and well worth rushing back for this morning, just where would we be without Sam Morsy who for me was once again outstanding, Harry Clarke also very impressive.

Its a measure of how far we have come and they have fallen with us Town fans gutted and them celebrating a point like they'd just won the league. We never give up, proud of the lads tonight

Oh yes, the Ref, what an absolute biased bellend

Yeah, the big picture outside the budgies is we came back after a questionable goal and we’re able to tie it after they were clearly on the defensive from the 52nd minute on.

Ipswich is on ESPN+ today and the next two weeks, big games lie ahead. As you said, win these next two and move on
