Ipswich pushing
There were a few here who thought Ipswich had scored when Alex Tuanzebe’s shot ruffled the side-netting.
Unfortunately not, though if Ipswich dominate the tempo as much as they’ve done in the early stages, it will come.

Insight from Joe Bernstein from Portman Road
Suffolk sunshine has only added to the mood of excitement and anticipation at Portman Road.
Thousands greeted the team coach and plenty of them stayed outside to enjoy a pint and a hot dog in the Fan Zone, before filtering their way to their seats.
Some are terrified to count their chickens. In one overheard conversation, one fan admitted to his pal…”This is the first time I’ve felt nervous all season!” They are so close.
