Great win, was a tough game but we came through the 2nd half as the better team.

Honestly quite an entertaining 1st half in terms of two contrasting styles of play. Think Preston have done a good job at stifling us and are posing a real threat from set pieces, they've also came the closest to a goal with that Whatmough header, we've had a few shots but they have mostly been from outside of the box. Bring on the 2nd half, think we're in with a chance here.

How is that not a foul!?

It's key now to not do what we did against Leicester, please don't try and sit back for the remainder of the game. Ipswich look nervy, lets try and capitalise on it.

WHAT A GOAL FROM NUNEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

That is absolutely a red

Incredibly frustrating match to watch, I have no problem sitting back at the end of the game but to just play defensively like that from the get go was always going to invite trouble. We need to be much braver as we are more than capable of causing trouble when we go on the front foot.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

What a tremendous half of football we played just now, really taking Stoke to the cleaners, I just love seeing the amount of bodies getting forward when we hit them on the break. It also shows how the Middlesborough game could have gone if that sham of a red didn't get given.

This is a far cry from the Shawcross and Huth days for Stoke, good lord their defense looks absolutely shambolic.

and to think i was very close to staying at work til 5 today!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

wow great save from Stokes keeper there

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Really entertaining opening 15 minutes.
