Kettle - obviously, not as free kick which led to the goal. Disallowed a good goal, Alnwick howler Mellis not in the game, stood round waiting for space to miraculously open up for him to receive the ball. Hill- not happy with us playing 2 holding midfielders in dawson and cranie. Too defensive and not creating anything so far. Let's hope for a better showing this half!! Anything can happen with clown kettle in charge....
Second half report - Much better! Kettle aside, obviously clueless ref. Mellis played much better, actually seemed to want to be there unlike in the first half. Hill's bringing on Stones transformed the game for me - I never thought changing a right back could effect a game so much. What a difference, he just opened the game up and all of a sudden Dawson found space to run into and we went from not looking like scoring to looking like scoring everytime we got the ball. Ipswich were consistently poor, however, their freak goal aside they provided nothing in terms of attack. We were very unlucky not to win.
Mellis played much better after Ipswich took the giant number 8 off, he ran the midfield for 45 minutes.
