All about results at this time in the season and Ipswich are doing that.
Cook just needs to build on this and Town are bang in the hunt.

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
nice to get 3 wins on the bounce, but feel we made really hard work of it tonight.
Up to 7th, but I think Paul Cook has his work cut out to achieve promotion with this squad

Yes, well done on the win troops, however difficult you made it. Could've been 6-1 with the missed chances.
Gillingham stopping the run? Nae danger. Four in a row come Saturday …, and hey, if its not ---->> Cooks fault.

There’s a Town fan ( based in the USA) on Suffolk radio right now talking like Brett Johnson has taken ownership of the Club. Speaks in glowing terms of the man

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
That 2nd half was awful. So many underperforming. They say playing against 10 men is difficult. It disrupts your pattern of play. Also so many really good chances not taken-however being in the positions to take those chances is a distinct improvement. And we won!! COYB

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
After the sending off we played it on the floor and deserved to be winning by half time. But second half and we went back to hoofing high balls. We were never going to win them.
Typical league 1 / Sunday league football. Stanley were no better than us, just bigger and stronger I think. Nsiala or best player, Kenlock less impressive tonight. Our worst performers on the night were Bennetts and Dozzell.
That’s 2 unimpressive wins in succession. But 6 points are 6 points, and we creep up the league.

I did the same a week back and I agree with you. Every one of these games is winnable and with Cook barking the orders as he does, could be very interesting end to the season.
All the teams round about Ipswich are dropping points to teams at every level in the league.
Its all up for grabs

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Let's remember one or two weeks back we were still effectively sh*t, can recall a no score draw with Northampton at home that caused a certain furore. Point being today and most recent games have been encouraging but not going to subscribe to any group that insists we're now able / about to, emulate the wonder times of the early 1980's. All right that's an exaggeration will admit it, only don't like to get ahead of oneself and start making plans or having ideas about something that could be in all truth many years away. Team has turned a corner the last few weeks, still been fortunate here and there and there (still) hasn't (always) been the commitment that all would wish to see, from what I've read on today's game we once again struggled at times to make an impact and as often showed lackluster in parts. Not so much a criticism only what you feel fair observation.
Somehow I knew without seeing score that we'd won, just the feeling you get. Cleared out the garbage with Lambert, the Evans nightmare could once and for all see some resolution in the time ahead. Maybe it wasn't nothing pretty or grinded out a result but a victory all the same. Try not to look at the league placings even though the team is picking up points along the way once again. It's the hope that kills you, don't want to prepare or ready for something that can just as easily not occur or miss out altogether. Would like to make it obviously but been with it long enough to have an understanding of what to expect. New manager / owner group notwithstanding.

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
I was very disappointed with the second half. I know it can be difficult playing against 10 men, but that use because they sit back to stop your scoring. That wasn’t the case last night, Stanley looked the better and more dangerous side second half.
The positives were how many chances we created after the sending off in the remainder of the first half, and for once we did what you have to do - score while you are in top.
Onwards and upwards.

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
It's the 4th games in 10 days for most of those players. It will be one of PC's challenges to figure out how to rest and rotate them over the next two months to keep them fresh. I don't really blame them for sitting back on the lead, if that's what they did.
By the way Accrington started the game ahead of us in the table so they are not so bad themselves. Maybe they upped their game too in H2?

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
I thought that was also a very poor second half. We seem to lack that bit of nous in the team. We’ve been moaning about slow, predictable possession football, but in the second half we could have done with some of that to slow the play down. I didn’t see where we had the man advantage. When Toto and Wilson are again MOTM’s, then it’s likely that it’s backs to the wall defending and against 10 men it didn’t have to be. Another 3 points, though, which is the important thing.Andym wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 8:36 amI was very disappointed with the second half.

It could be good for Cook to see us struggle a bit - but also win - as he might be able to improve things sooner. We seem to lack that bit of experience in the side where we can control and manage games better, yet we’ve got some experienced players in the side.
I think it’s time to freshen up the team a bit. Be interesting to see the team on Saturday - Cook’s first team selection.

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
I think that is spot on. We’ve never beaten them at their place and they really are your classic 8n yer face league one outfit . All credit to them, they make it very hard. I’ll be honest here and say we might well have lost that game had they not gone down to 10 men AND lost their GK. They’re a fiesty side make no mistake. But I also think a lot of our players looked like it was their 4th game in 10 days. Very leg weary some of them. I’m expecting a few changes for the next game if I’m being honest. This will show how good we are as a squad in trying to maintain this current form.Dubai Blue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 8:43 amIt's the 4th games in 10 days for most of those players.

That’s true. And I don’t think it will have helped that it looked a very heavy pitch, lots of mud and little grass.hallamblue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 9:38 amBut I also think a lot of our players looked like it was their 4th game in 10 days.

Re: Accrington Stanley vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
I think there will have been nerves out there too what with Paul Cook looking on, Kenlock definitely looked nervy early doors as did a couple of others.
We weren't great but as has been said by others a hectic spell and decent opponents shouldn't be undermined, it's been a bit of a topsy-turvy week for everyone but we ground it out so fair play to the lads on this occasion.

Watching the game last night with no commentary,it sounded like most of the Stanley side had tourettes.My favourite quote of the evening was,get the the Fcuking ball off him,he will probably give it ya anyway,yes must of been difficult to play against.
