One quirk is that all three goals in the first half were scored by
former Leeds academy players, including the kind contribution from Leif
Davis.
As well as having three different Dutchmen on the scoresheet.

Great win but not perfect as some are saying. We put ourselves under
loads of pressure early doors with the aimless passing across the back
and Meslier didn’t help with some really poor kicking straight into
touch.But once we got going we were good value and the 2nd half was the
best we’ve played this season as Ipswich never really had a kick and
ended up making multiple subs not to win the game but to protect players
for their game against Leicester on Boxing Day.The Piroe / Rutter 10/9
combination worked as it tends to do in home games where we have the
momentum - it’s away games that are sometimes the problem. Summerville
continues to look a threat every time he gets the ball and still in my
eyes is the most exciting talent playing British football in any league.
Big bids incoming ! Great pen as well.Piroe’s goal was top drawer even
if we were a bit lucky in the build up. Archie Gray looked like a right
back and he is starting to get more confident going forward. I remember
Ian Snodin converting to right back from central midfield and ended up
playing for England and would have had a lot more caps had he not got
injured. Who knows with Archie ? Although I think he’s got too much to
offer in midfield.Ipswich fans couldn’t sell their tickets and looked
like they realised that it might not be a stroll for them this season.
Leif Davis has been getting the plaudits this season as the best left
back in the division. I think not. He’s another left back who can’t
defend. Ok going forward but really suspect in defence. His own goal was
a highlight.The South Stand sang ‘you’ve seen Firpo now fuck off home’
which made me smile.
Bring on Preston
Meslier - 6. Nothing to do, kicking rubbish.
Gray - 8. Majestic
Spence - 8. Great attacking in first half. Unfortunately everytime he
got himself into a great position in the box his left foot cross let him
down.
Rodon - 8. Comfortable
Struijk - 8. Ditto
Ampadu - 8. Some great interceptions
Kamara - 7. Battling performance
Summerville- 9. Class
Piroe - 8. Much needed performance and top class goal with his wrong
foot
James - 7. Great first half an hour but his final ball remains poor.
Rutter - 9. Top performance- his vision / passing is fantastic and today
he battled like a no 9.
Subs - not sure Bamford touched the ball others didn’t do much
Happy Christmas !

Merry Christmas everyone. What a start to the festive season. A must
win game was won ( in the end at a canter) They had one snap shot that
hit the post at 2-0 and created no other, even half chances throughout
the game.3 0 flattered us a bit at half time as we got the luck and the
rub of the green a few times but by the end there was a real gulf in
class as we destroyed them.
A corner in the first 10 mins ( " lets score a scruffy goal from a
corner
