What a difference early goals and being clinical make. Scored 4 goals but didn't create that much on a very difficult pitch. 3 other chances in the match? Westbrooke miss first half, Godden's poor connection on the cross to back post and Walsh at the end of the team move?

I’m in Lowestoft on the East coast with loads of Ipswich fans ‘both family & Freinds.
Very Very strong talk amongst them about an Ipswich swoop for Shipley in January.

They can’t afford him.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Another bright note. The games in hand everyone was so worried about don't look too bad now do they?

 

[Marty]

I got 66/1 on Godden hattrick

Returned £100.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

That missed penalty is the bit of luck you need sometimes to keep a good run going.

Godden is going to be sky high with confidence with another hat-trick.

We are in a great position with a game in hand.

Westbrooke had a great chance to pull the trigger first half on the edge of the box but didn't. So much improvement in that department though.

Who do we want in the 5th round of the cup?

Do you mean 4th round?

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Do you mean 4th round?

He seems convinced that were going to the 5th round idk why

Yeah, everyone was going to win and we were going to be 12th

and Shipleys chance which the keeper saved. Came in a move similar to the Westbrooke chance.

Funny game really, the first 15-20 of the second half they really got on top of us and really should have got an equaliser. The subs worked and we were reasonably comfortable. If we were a little less casual sometimes we might have scored more.

Get in there and happy new year.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Great way to start the New year! Had to weather a storm for 20 mins in the second half and the penalty was the turning point.
Robins has been criticised for his substitutes from time to time but he got them spot on today with O’Hare and Baka involved in Godden’s 2nd goal with one of their first touches.
The pitch was a bit of a leveller but we coped in the most with it.

I agree overall but felt he was a bit slow with the subs - should have been 10 mins earlier IMO, but at least he did make them. Had they scored the pen really don't know what would've happened.

It's the fictional capital city in Game of Thrones...my crappy attempt at a joke!

Was probably a good joke for people who watch GOT - I don't, hence going whooshing past my ears!! Soz RDDG

 

[fernandopartridge]

Darren Huckerby? One hat trick was against Macclesfield Town I think in the third round of the FA Cup, the other hat trick might have been against Leeds United? I stand to be corrected

Forest it was Jan 99

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Great result despite conceding what I hear was a sloppy goal and weathering a nervy start to the second half. Most results (bar Rotherham) went our way although we have a game in hand over Rotherham. All in all a very nice start to 2020 and let's keep it going.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

The Wycombe Ipswich draw was the perfect result for us!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Forest it was Jan 99

Over 20 years then! But not both in the league for Hucks (though including so many caveats undermines the achievement a bit)

Don't think he would leave us to go there.

 

[Exit Stage Left]

i would hope hes not thinking about sat. dont get me wrong i really want a good fa cup run but 3 points is more important

Don't worry mate, he's definitely not thinking about Saturday.

 

[shmmeee]

Godden 10 goals in 20 games...only 15 starts

Yeah but take out the two hatricks and it’s only one in 5, awful.

/Grendel

 

[MalcSB]

CWR / Jim Brown said last league hat trick 1952

 

[Mcbean]

I wonder if that fella put another £3 on a Godden hattrick today - i wonder what the odds were - 150/1 last week

 

[mark82]

Idiot on the phone in.

 

[harvey098]

Rode our luck at 2-1 but I really enjoyed that second half... brilliant solidarity with the players at the end again. Happy New Year

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Their fan walking out waving a wasps flag

Fair play. Thats actually quite funny.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Fantastic result.

When is the Rotherham game likely to be rescheduled for?

 

[Astute]

I wonder if that fella put another £3 on a Godden hattrick today - i wonder what the odds were - 150/1 last week

66/1 today.

Took him 100/1 win and E/W top scorer. Them odds will come right down now.

 

[Evo1883]

/Grendel

Hahaha

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Were either of Godden's hat-tricks 'golden'?
That's one right-footed, one left-footed and one header.

He took the penalty at Wycombe with his head.

 

[Johhny Blue]

He seems convinced that were going to the 5th round idk why

Nothing wrong with a little ambition

 

[Skyblueweeman]

People talking about luck and the penalty miss being the turning point. Maybe.

But what goes around comes around. We've had shit luck with officials this season and have been on the wrong end of bad luck.

So we deserve any that comes our way at the moment.

Are they for real. Dont see them offside myself and bar a 5 min spell they were awful and look like relegation material

Im sorry that was effin crap. Take away the first two goals being offside. No urgency in midfield, coventry just strolling about picking their passes. Yes they were a better side but christ almighty. Not a bloody clue apart from 20 mins in the second half

2 offside goals but a @#$%& poor performance so far

 

[oscillatewildly]

Fair play. Thats actually quite funny.

Probably the closest he could find to a white one.

 

[covcity4life]

First 15 of second half was popr. But not every game can be without peril

3 wins in a row
2 away wins in a row
4 goals in 2 games in a row
Striker has 6 goals in 2
2 conceded in 3

BE HAPPY

Don't be silly. Some would find things to moan about even if we were 10 points clear at the top of the table.
