Ipswich Town December Games

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Burnley
Saturday 1st December 2012
Ipswich 2-2 Burnley
Hyam and Barnett

good draw against team who are 3 places below us. i was getting worried when we were 2-0 down with 20 minutes to go, but with a Hyam wonder strike and Barnett header.

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Derby
Tuesday 4th December 2012
Ipswich 2-0 Derby
Taylor and Watt

another good win for the boys against a team 2nd in the table, so it was good for us to beat our nearest rivals. Watt got a good goal since he got back in injury.

nPower Championship - Middlesborough vs Ipswich
Saturday 8th December 2012
Middlesborough 0-3 Ipswich
Watt, McDonald and JET

another excellent win for the boys away to one of the promotion contenders. McDonald got another good goal from 25 yards.

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Bolton
Saturday 15th December 2012
Ipswich 0-2 Bolton

i was very disappointed about this game as we were expected to win against a low Bolton side. we only had 2 shots on target and they were easily saved by Adam Bogdan.

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Blackburn
Saturday 22nd December 2012
Ipswich 2-1 Blackburn
Barnett and Watt

excellent win against the team that beat us 3-0 on the first game of the season. half way through the season already and we are right up near the top of the table.

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Millwall
Wednesday 26th December 2012
Ipswich 4-1 Millwall
Murphy 2 and Stearman 2

another incredible win against a team just below us in the table. is was another game where Stearman got 2 goals and so did Murphy.

nPower Championship - Crystal Palace vs Ipswich
Saturday 29th December 2012
Crystal Palace 1-3 Ipswich
Stearman, Wordsworth and Barnett

brilliant win for the boys against a improving Palace side who were 4 games unbeaten. another goal for Stearman in a very good month for him.

Halfway through the season and we are sitting pretty on top of the table with a gap of 3 points between us and 2nd placed Derby County

My Player of the Month

Richard Stearman has done brilliant this month with 3 goals and 2 clean sheets. this is the second time he has won this award.

Ipswich Town January Games

nPower Championship - Barnsley vs Ipswich
Tuesday 1st January 2013
Barnsley 2-6 Ipswich
Garbani, Chambers, Barnett and Murphy 2

excellent win here for the blues as they came from 2-1 down at half time to completely turn this game on its head. im very glad that Tyrone Barnett got a goal in his last game of his loan spell

FA CUP 3rd Round - Ipswich vs Doncaster
Saturday 5th January 2013
Ipswich 1-0 Doncaster
JET

little disappointed with this game as i would have liked a few more goals. but at least we are through to the next round of the FA CUP were we will play Bristol City.

nPower Championship - Hull vs Ipswich
Saturday 12th January 2013
Hull 2-0 Ipswich

disappointed with this game as we were expected to win and they are below us in the table. hopefully we can improve in the next few games

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Sheff Wed
Tuesday 15th January 2013
Ipswich 2-2 Sheff Wed
Taylor 2

another game were we should have won but we couldn't keep the lead, but it was good for Paul Taylor to get 2 more goals to add to his tally this season.

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Wolves
Saturday 19th January 2013
Ipswich 1-0 Wolves
Watt

good win against a team who are only 2 places below us in the table, and with a win against a team close to us, it opened up a gap of points

FA CUP 4th Round - Bristol City vs Ipswich
Saturday 26th January 2013
Bristol City 1-0 Ipswich

i was very upset about this game as we were the better side throughout. to top things off, Bristol City hadn't won a game in the last 9 in the league before they played us.

View attachment 372235

Even after a not so good month we are still top of the table by 2 points from Blackpool

My Player of the Month

Ipswich Town February Games

nPower Championship - Birmingham vs Ipswich
Saturday 2nd February 2013
Birmingham 4-5 Ipswich
Watt 3, Wordsworth and Alfaro

WOW! what a game where we were 2-1 down at half time. Alfaro got his first goal for the club with a close range finish. amazing hat trick for Tony Watt.

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Watford
Saturday 9th February 2013
Ipswich 1-1 Watford
Alfaro

unlucky here for the boys who were 1-0 against a good side. Alfaro has now got 2 goals in 2 games and is doing well as a super sub.

nPower Championship - Leeds vs Ipswich
Tuesday 19th February 2013
Leeds 0-3 Ipswich
Watt 2 and JET

another brilliant win for the boys against an improving leeds side. Tony Watt has now exceeded the 15 goals i set for him at the start of the season with these 2 goals.

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Brighton
Tuesday 26th February 2013
Ipswich 2-2 Brighton
Taylor 2

very good draw against a Brighton team on the up. Paul Taylor got 2 goals for us and that helped us a great deal throughout the game.

View attachment 372305

still at the top of the table with close competition behind us.

My Player of the Month

Tony Watt has done very well this month with that very good hat trick and with that double.

Ipswich Town Youth Candidates

There wasnt many players from my Youth Candidate team that i would consider to be a future superstar, but there is 3 players who have been showed to me as the better players from the group

View attachment 372333

Troy Arthur - Troy is a 15 year old striker that has a future potential of 2 stars but may improve in the future. i might see if he can learn from Michael Chopra.


View attachment 372335

Steve Christie - Steve is a 15 year old Right Midfielder who has a future potential of 2 and a half stars but may also improve in the future. i may see if he can learn from Lee Martin


View attachment 372336

James Morley - James is a 15 year old striker and is the best player from the group. he has a future potential of 4 stars, which is one of the best i have had for a championship team. i might try and get him to learn from Paul Taylor

Ipswich Town March Games

nPower Championship - Notts Forest vs Ipswich
Saturday 2nd March 2013
Notts Forest 3-2 Ipswich
Carson and Hyam

wasnt very happy about this game as we were 2-1 up after 60 minutes. at least 2 of my young players have scored for me and especially a 30 yard strike from Hyam

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Leicester
Tuesday 5th March 2013
Ipswich 0-0 Leicester

even though there was no goals it was still a good draw for me, even if Josh Carson got sent off. we are still top of the table which is a good thing

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Cardiff
Saturday 9th March 2013
Ipswich 1-1 Cardiff
Taylor

unhappy about this as Cardiff are 22nd in the table and hadn't won in 12 league games. at least Taylor got another goal for his tally.

nPower Championship - Bristol City vs Ipswich
Saturday 16th March 2013
Bristol City 0-2 Ipswich
Taylor and Watt

finally i have a win in March, but it is good that it is against the people close to me in the table. Tony Watt added another goal to his tally.

nPower Championship - Peterborough vs Ipswich
Saturday 30th March 2013
Peterborough 0-2 Ipswich
Watt 2

another good win against a high team in the table. Tony Watt added 2 more goals to his tally with 2 assists from Jay Emmanuel Thomas.

View attachment 372380

even though i have only had 2 wins this month we are 4 points clear at the top of the table

My Player of the Month

View attachment 372381 View attachment 372382

JET has done very well this month with 4 assist in 5 games.

??Feedback is Welcome??

??April Update Soon??​
 
I would suggest keeping in the same but change the colour of the writing for each type of result (Green for Win, Red for Loss and leave as Normal for draw).

As a Sunderland fan I think McCarthy is good when it comes to spotting a bargain for Championship level (Dean Whitehead, Nyron Nosworthy and Liam Lawrence to name just a few) but he struggles in the top flight so I believe he is limited to the Championship.
 
Wen you say change the writing colour, do you mean the discription of the game of the result bit?
 
The result.
So:
If you win: Ipswich 1-0 Sheff Wed
If you draw: Ipswich 1-0 Sheff Wed
If you lose: Ipswich 1-0 Sheff Wed

nPower Championship - Ipswich vs Charlton
Saturday 6th April 2013
Ipswich 2-1 Charlton
JET and Watt

Nosworthy, Alfaro and Wordsworth

another good win for the boys against good opposition. Alfaro and Nosworthy getting good goals in the game with Alfaro the pick off them.

Tuesday 16th April 2013
Burnley 1-1 Ipswich

we had the chance to gain promotion from this game but it wouldn't come for us. Taylor got a good goal from the edge of the area.

Alfaro

View attachment 372558

Incredible. we have defied all the odds and have won promotion to the Premiership at the first attempt. considering the fact that the Media predicted us to finish 17th, it was an incredible achievement. now its time to try for the Trophy.

nPower Championship - Derby vs Ipswich
Monday 29th April 2013
Derby 1-0 Ipswich

disapointed really as this was our chance to win the title against the team in 2nd place. it now all comes down to the final day of the season vs Bolton. i will be keeping an eye on the Derby vs Blackburn game
