Compilation of all of Kyle Edwards’ ball carries & dribbles vs Cheltenham Town -
- his ability to slow down to engage the defender before exploding past is a major skill of his as well as manipulating defenders with his body positioning.

were excellent tonight & look like a really good team, think they’ve got a winner on their hands with Ismael.
Haven’t seen us penned in like that on & off the ball since the Sunderland game, a bit more quality in the final 3rd & they get something.

Ali Al-Hamadi is absolute chaos isn’t he, always in the right place at the right time. His numbers for the minutes he has are remarkable:
- 32 mins per goal
- an xG of 5.07 with 4 goals in 126 mins 🤯

Can’t blame KM for going to Brighton, but this has really put a dampener on next season - absolutely awful news.
Who do we even get? Edwards has been linked & although I like him, he’s nothing on KM :(
Corberan’s probably my 1st choice. Steve Cooper? Danny Rohl?

Extremely weird to see the amount of people that want Woolfenden dropped after one mistake yesterday.
Yes, he wasn’t strong enough in the tackle but it’s only the 5th time he’s been dribbled past all season, in a role where he’s defending 1v1 a lot…

Has really settled in the last few games since the international break, definitely got up to grips with our style & his role.

Sam Morsy went onto 8 bookings for the season on the 10th of December - in the 16 subsequent games he has only had 1 yellow card😇
Huge credit towards him for this unbelievable discipline record, put your house on him getting a yellow for the Derby game in 2 weeks😅

Are we consistently creating way more chances than the opposition at a historically title winning rate? Yes.
Are we ruthless enough in both boxes to convert that at this current time? No.
Do we need to completely change our approach? Absolutely not.

Another superb signing from Argyle!
Just like Pleguezuelo, Gibson is a really strong ground defender that can step up on opposition winger/10s in the press.
Also very comfortable on the ball, likes to carry it which will suit how Argyle use their wide CB's.

The last time Ipswich lost a league game by 2 or more goals was 72 games ago - a 2-0 loss to Bolton on the 15th of January 2022.

Seems like Al-Hamadi is our backup option to Stansfield, both similar types of striker.
Has the physical capabilities as extremely quick & can run for days, a big threat in behind, very good at taking players on 1v1, good off both feet & gets into scoring positions A LOT

One thing I’ve noticed this season is how effective Bonne is at pressing.
He scans behind him to see the Wednesday player before curving his run to cut off that pass while still applying pressure. This then forces the CB to go back to the GK which Bonne also reads.

Morecambe are absolutely awful but this is rather fun isn’t it?
Everyone’s playing very well but the new signing look very promising:
- Broadhead is as quick & direct as I thought he’d be
- Clarke’s a monster physically but has great technical ability as well

Some good clips of Ali Al-Hamadi here, all against good opposition in Coventry & Chelsea - even at that level he just bullies defenders & shows off his unbelievable athleticism.
May need work in tighter areas but gets good separation in the box.

Vaclav Hladky conceded 16.43 goals fewer than expected, this was the biggest overperformance of all GK’s in the Football League.
#ITFC
Alphonse Areola conceded 7.6 goals fewer than expectation in the Premier League last season — the biggest overperformance by any goalkeeper in the league.
Across Europe’s top five leagues, only Jan Oblak [9.8] had a bigger swing.
No wonder he’s in-demand. 💰🧤

A lot of talk on here about McKenna being too smart to take the Chelsea job, I’m not too sure on that personally.
If McKenna went to Chelsea & it didn’t go well, i.e sacked after a year, he could get a Brighton level job pretty easily - he’s not losing out on much at all.

It’s weird seeing a game this comfortable after some of the games we’ve had this season - quite boring in all honesty 😅 !

Ali Al-Hamadi 23/24 + 22/23 -

Tbf I thought this, namely looking at the 80th minute onwards vs Bristol. The defenders were knackered but the ipswich players were sprinting like the match had just started.
I'm also convinced there's some voodoo curses going on to make the opposition players forget how to play

- Potential for a lot of turnover in midfield next season, with 4 out of contract
- 3 loanees will also cause a decent amount of turnover next season

That’s an unbelievably shit result, didn’t do anywhere near enough when Lincoln went down to 10 men.

A very sensible signing from Town, gives us additional experience in the side while being at a very good age.
Stylistically, he's a destructive midfielder who keeps the ball very well. His passing isn't the most adventurous but he runs with the ball a lot more than Evans.

Sam Morsy data dashboard -

- keeps ball really well hence strong numbers for dribble & offensive duel success
- his assists shouldn’t be taken into much account

Couple examples in the first 7 mins of the game of how we exploited Gillingham:
- movement of both strikers wide & deep to open up space in behind by dragging CB's away

Clarke my MOTM, he defended a lot wider than he has previously (with Morsy filling in that gap between him & Woolfy) which helped his 1v1 defending a lot.
His front foot defending in our mid block was great as well, intercepted so many loose passes in central/right areas.
