12/11/2022 0 Comments IpswichBG made 2 changes to the team and the Addicks set up 4-4-1-1 with Stockley alone up front. My favourite striker was gifted the ball in the opening minutes with the Ipswich goalie well off his line but the chance was rushed and that was it for goal mouth action from Charlton. We defended well but had 2 enforced changes due injuries to Egbo and O'Connell which saw the introduction of Morgan and Lavelle. Ipswich toyed with Clare and Morgan down our right, kept possession while we huffed and puffed up front and looked vulnerable at the back. Well into injury time Morgan ends up marking one of the tallest Ipswich players who ends up with a free header to make it 0-1. Oh dear oh dear. Yup, the standard of the officials is not good in league 1, we know decisions will not go our way but we need to defend the resulting free kick. 0-2 and BG gets sent off for complaining. I hindsight, was that the turning point of the game? At last, Stockley and Kirk removed, Chuks and CBT bought on and Rak-Sakyi moved to the right. One minute later Chuks down the right, crosses, shot from CBT deflected and Rak scores. Ipswich immediately on the counter and poor, poor defending allows then a golden chance to make it 3. Fortunately Wollacott's feet get in the way to keep the score 1-2. More yellow cards are flashed, the home crowd come alive as do the Addicks. Game on! Charlton back on level terms in the 76th when Sessengon and CBT combine to create another deflected shot and Morgan is there to score. End to end stuff but our defending and marking is a worry. We run out of steam and 6 minutes of extra time is called and before blinking it's 2-4 - again poor marking. Fortunately the ref continued to have a nightmare and allowed play to continue for 10 minutes. During those extra 4 minutes we score twice. Yes, Chuks, CBT, Sessengno, Rak run the Ipswich ragged and we suddenly managed to get behind their defence. I've run out of breath, it finishes 4-4, wow what a game of footie. Please lets start Chuks and CBT. Wow. No one predicted 4-4 but Postie remains top. Cup games for the next 10 days which I will update when I have recovered COYS! Tauntonaddick
