I was looking forward to the match against second in the table Leicester City and was anticipating a decent game. It seems like ages since my last visit to Portman Road, that dreary Friday night at the start of the month against Barnsley. Max once again deputised for Sharon, who seems to be losing a bit of interest in the Tractor Boys at the moment, not that he's too bothered!

Things started very well, with David McGoldrick giving Town the lead within two minutes. The visitors looked a bit shell shocked by this, especially keeper Kasper Schmeichel. We were on top for much of the opening twenty minutes, but as happens all too often we couldn't find that second goal and allowed them back in the game.
Leicester were certainly the better side after the break and Ipswich's Nemesis and modern day pantomime villain David Nugent scored twice in six minutes to ensure the Foxes went away with all three points. That's now13 times that Nugent has scored against us in 12 matches and he certainly lapped it up in front of the Sir Alf Ramsey Stand as he celebrated each goal.
I was really pissed off when we left the ground, I felt overall we were a draw. Sharon probably made the right decision to stay away!

Rat Trap by The Boomtown Rats - by coincidence the same weekend that The Wolsey Theatre began their Christmas Pantomime run with Dick Whittington, ITFC's very own "King Rat" David Nugent showed up to spoil things for Town fans once again. If only somebody had of shouted "He's behind you."
