More urgency required and in situations like this we can't afford to ignore the talents of Leitner & Vrancic.

Steipermann, Maclean and Cantwell all decidedly average.

Shake it up DF

Pukki missing two he'd usually bury. One of those halves. If we don't score in the second half I'll eat all of your hats.

I have a stetson. I guess that's probably more digestible than LDC's ozzy hat!

Normally when teams park the bus against us they switch off on occasion. Reading haven't tonight, not once have they not tracked a runner or been in the right place or doubled up everytime they can and we've still created chances. There's a reason teams play that way against better teams, it's really hard to break down when done properly. 

 

We'll get more  chances as Reading tire and get jittery and hopefully we'll take one but I can't fault the effort or intent from our players tonight.

Todd off, Mario on. This game needs his guile

Agreed. Todd has potential but he is no Emi and he is very very one footed. Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing Kenny further forward and bring leitner in.

I still expect that we will win this. Reading have scored with their only attack. Come out fast and get the leveller before the 60th minute

So missing Buendia’s energy. The first-half proves he has been the heartbeat of the team on this winning run.

He is also our best corner-taker.

Cantwell has done ok - not easy filling in for Buendia.

Stiepermann not firing on all cylinders in the first-half.

Does Reading winning relegate Ipswich? 

Wondering if team has ulterior motive... 

 I think so but only if Rotherham and Wigan win too.

We are playing our normal game. It isn't working as well as it should. It will happen now and again. Hopefully, as Reading tire we will create more in the box. We just have to be careful of their pace up front.

No, but we can use that as an excuse if we lose 🙃

Not quite. It would have Rotherham 15 points ahead of Ipswich, with 5 games left to play. So Rotherham would officially need another point to guarantee being above them.

Missing Buendia, no question, no one running at them to create a panic. Lots of playing across rather than through, Jamal has been quiet, Onel the same. 

DF will sort it out at ht, playing towards the Barclay,  hoping for a tear up second half, coyy.

Not doing much wrong and created some good chances, completely dominated other than that one moment. Let’s have some patience.

Reluctant to say we are missing Buendia as on paper you could replay that half 10 times and we’d be 1 or 2 - 0 up at half time every single time! 

As others have said, would like to Vrancic on at around 60 mins if no change in score line. Come on city!

This is where Farke needs to be proactive with his subs- can't wait for 75/80 minutes like usual.

In fairness he is usually keener with the subs when we are losing
