Didn't really get a chance to exert any influence on the game - 5/10 #ITFC

100

Didn't really get into the game when he came on. Poor penalty. Would rather he missed that one than the one Friday night mind - 4/10 #ITFC

100

Did okay when he came on. Had a great chance to win it. Could maybe have taken a touch. Good penalty - 5/10 #ITFC

100

Following a tough time on Friday Johnson turned into a flying LWB here. Took his goal incredibly well and fizzed another shot off with his left foot that required a good save. Also delivered the great cross to Al Hamadi. Still looked dodgy when we was asked to defend - 6/10 #ITFC

100

No lack of effort from Ali but finishing was lacking. Should have scored in the first half. Should have scored in the second half. Another poor penalty. He made good runs and got in good positioning but as a striker you've got to be finishing your chances - 3/10 #ITFC

100

What have we done to Jack Clarke? This game opened up for him but he just seems to be always making the wrong decisions. Just 2/7 take ons completed. Another poor game - 4/10 #ITFC

100

7 progressive passes, 2 chances created, four shots. Made the team tick going forward. Passing was at times risky and he did give the ball away but those risks created chances. Superb ball in for Al Hamadi and the touch and shot for Johnson's goal was sublime - 7/10 (MoTM) #ITFC

100

A much better performance than Friday. Should have done better with an early Davis pull back but got in down the right with strong running on a number of occasions. 3/4 successful take ons and some decent end product. Promising - 6/10 #ITFC

100

I think Humphreys did okay. A couple of nice tackles and looked to receive the ball in the middle but didn't create too much which would have been his role with Barbook being the more defensive - 5/10 #ITFC

100

Solid debut. Didn't try anything too fancy. Kept the ball well as his 91.84 % pass completion shows. Huge block following a corner recovery run that he celebrated like a goal - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Looked sharper than Friday night, inverting of the left for the first 45 minutes. Created three chances. Was caught behind his man for the corner but can't place too much blame on him for that. Crossing was wayward a couple of times - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Solid debut from Kipre. Got into some nice positions and it was his passing that unlocked the left hand side a few times. Didn't have to do too much defending but read the game well to recover the ball 6 times #ITFC

100

Did his defensive duties relatively well but no idea where he was going for the corner. A bit sloppier on the ball than usual standards - 5/10 #ITFC

100

Town's top ball progressor. Also made a couple of crucial shot blocks showing all of his experience to position himself in the right place. Smashed in his penalty. Has to start Saturday - 7/10 #ITFC

100

Player Ratings🧵 Here we go then 😑 Caught under the corner where he should really be stronger and claim through the bodies. Made a good one v one stop and made a good penalty save - 5/10 #ITFC

Top player report from a disappointing evening. Sowunmi was excellent for them throughout. Ashley Young a big positive. Hopefully his knock at the end isn't serious. Chaplin is also crucial to keep hold of. He is the link player that stops gaps between attack and midfield #ITFC

Attention turns to the cup tomorrow night with another potential banana skin in Bromley FC who have flourished in recent years and beat Barnet 2-0 at the weekend.

Carabao Cup Preview: Bromley by ad_wilkin - Ipswich Town Blog

It’s an early Carabao Cup trip to League Two Bromley to kick off Town’s cup exploits and test the depth of the squad. Last season the Blues fell at their first hurdle with an on-penalties defeat to AF...

000

Looked calm and composed on the ball in the brief spell he was on and having a left footer on the left side of midfield opened the pitch up and made it harder for Birmingham to press. Definitely has a role to play this season - N/A #ITFC

000

Sign of our depth issues that Ali came on at RW. Considering the unfamiliar position I think he did okay and actually had a few runs with the ball. Had a big opportunity in the box but slipped as he chopped back onto his left - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Like Chaplin was also deeper to look to get more possession for Town despite rumours he could be out the door soon - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Got stuck in, in more ways than one and unlike Szmodics was dropping deeper to play more passes and get on the ball - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Looked solid on the ball and delivered a couple of wicked crosses. One of which was just over Hirst. Delivered the corner that won the penalty. Has to start against Southampton - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Had a real physical battle with the Birmingham defenders but never stopped working. Was cool as you like with his pressure penalty - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Sadly was the Clarke of a lot of last season. Looked lightweight off the ball and was often running into corridors on it. Beaten easily in the air for the Birmingham goal - 4/10 #ITFC

100

The Szmodics/Hirst combo showed signs of success and he had the best chance of the first half when he excellently won the ball back but was unable to hit the target with his fizzed shot - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Received the ball 19 times, particularly in the first half but wasn't able to create anything from it. To me he didn't look at full sharpness and probably wouldn't have started if other options were available. Need another option at RW before the end of the window - 5/10 #ITFC

100

Ended up playing deeper than Matusiwa which was a surprise. Was sloppy on the ball at times but didn't lack effort getting stuck in with a number of tackles - 5/10 #ITFC

100

It's safe to say Town lost the midfield battle. Despite that Matusiwa did make some good interventions at points but struggled on the ball until late on -6/10 #ITFC

100

Back to his more regular role hugging the touchline. Like a lot of Town players struggled to get into the game. He one chance he should have done better with and was unable to force Osayi-Samuel back as much as he'd have liked - 6/10 #ITFC

100

Mixed game. Struggled to keep track of Kyogo and got away with one for the disallowed goal. Could have picked a better passing option for Bham goal and also didn't read the game to recover to get back into position. Won the pen with his header and was good in the air - 5/10 #ITFC

100

Was excellent defensively and played a few excellent passes, the best of which got Davis in for an excellent opportunity. - 7/10 (MoTM) #ITFC

100

Found Ogbene a few times but without much success. Was targeted by Birmingham defensively with Keshi Anderson either getting in behind or beating him for strength a number of times - 4/10 #ITFC

Player Ratings: 🧵 Really didn't have much to do. Made two 'saves' neither of which were particularly testing. Drops a point for his kicking, the worst of which put Jack Clarke in an awful position for Birmingham's goal - 5/10 #ITFC

Who will be Town's top goalscorer this season? Bookies have George Hirst as favourite and with Town's tactical tweaks I tend to agree with them but Sammie Szmodics could well give him a run for his money - footballleagueworld.co.uk/exciting-ips... #ITFC

Something a bit different from me here with an in depth analysis piece on #ITFC defending of Set Pieces last season. The stats and Match of the Day said we were dreadful but is it actually an area of concern for next season? - medium.com/@ad.wilkin/a...

Are Ipswich Town bad at defending set pieces?

At the beginning of last season Ipswich Town brought in Mark Hudson in a newly defined role as set piece coach with Kieran McKenna having…

Really hoping Brentford have an unknown coach who's working wonders in a smaller top tier foreign league somewhere lined up instead
