Odd game. We managed to be the better team and quite unlucky whilst still being pretty hopeless and losing 3-0. The only thing it probably tells you is how poor Ipswich were.
First 30 minutes we were all over them and somehow contrived not to score. Then Lees got sent off, Warnock chooses not to bring Pearce on – so its Byram at CB and Green at RB and a big space in midfield. Ipswich came back into it without really looking like doing much until they headed against the bar and then headed the rebound in. Doubt that would have happened with 2 CBs. Morrison still managed to miss a sitter before half-time. Second half they scored early after Peltier cleared a ball straight to them when he had plenty of time to control it, but despite the 10 men we still had most of the ball and most of the chances. In a 5 minute spell around 60 minutes we really should have scored about 3 times – Morrison hitting Varney on the line at one point and scuffing another one wide. They scored a third with about their 4th attack and the game petered out. Leeds fans amused themselves by suggesting Warnock f***ed off back to Cornwall, pretending to celebrate non-existent goals and singing “If we have a shot, we’re on the pitch” – steadily downgraded to “pass to feet and we’re on the pitch”. Despite the fact you would think we’d need some energy, pace and inspiration with 10 men, White and McCormack stayed on the bench til we were 3 down and Brown somehow managed to play 90 minutes. You’d think that dominating possession with 10 men shows we played well but it really just meant Ipswich gave it away even more than us. Though at one point Tonge managed to take 2 successive corners that bounced before getting to the edge of the area. Season cant end soon enough.
