Azor Matusiwa in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ipswich Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Costly mistake from Christian Walton

Nobody could get near Dominic Sadi
Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Ipswich Town bring in an old head
Juan Manuel Díaz is 35 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.
