Away win for Ipswich Town FC

Great result on last Saturday as ITFC won away at Charlton by a single goal. Charlton 0 ITFC 1

Match report

I listened to the game on BBC Radio Suffolk and Town started very well with four chances in the first five minutes and a goal! Town’s early pressure led to a good headed goal from a corner from Tommy Smith.

Town managed overall to control the first half but they really could have done with another goal as Charlton slowly started to get better and threaten Town. Another goal did not come and Charlton had a much better second half but thankfully Town did not let them score and claimed their second away win of the season with the valuable 3 points.

The match was not a classic at all but it was great to see Town start well and be positive. As I stated in my pre match comment/post David McGoldrick and Tommy Smith put in good performances. Jay Tabb was quite good too and overall all the rest of the Town players did alright. It is a much needed good result for Town which can give confidence for the team and supporters for the next match this Tuesday at home against Blackburn.

I have to commend the Town squad for getting the win and keeping a clean sheet even though the performance level did drop as the game got into the later stages. THIS IS MUCH BETTER TOWN & WELL DONE!
It has been disappointing with recent Town games when they have done well but conceded goals and not held on to at least a draw.

I think it fair to say we haven’t got the best balance yet from the Town squad and team and we haven’t seen the best they are capable of but there are good signs around the Town squad and team. It is great if everyone plays well but that won’t happen every game and at those times Town need to dig in and hold on to get something they deserve from the game and not make mistakes and throw results and points away. A bit more confidence and consistency is needed from the Town squad but they do have great potential, and this is a far better season than the previous one!

So well done Town and keep it up and goodluck for your next match – COME ON YOU BLUES!!!
