Match

20 matches without a win for Ipswich Town

The run now stands at 20, and the questions being asked around Ipswich Town are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Both of them Andrey Santos's — 8.26

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.26, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

George Barrett has said yes to Crewe Alexandra

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Ipswich Town have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Jakub Stolarczyk moves on

Leeds United pay $7.2M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Cameron Humphreys puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Ipswich Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Jaden Philogene was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets

Ipswich Town rebuffed over Mads Hermansen

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Everton have kept their man, and Ipswich Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Ipswich Town are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

The dugout

No hiding place for Christian Walton

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Christian Walton, and the manager let it.

In brief
