| Go on Boy! |
After a boozy night seeing in the new year at Blacktiles I was suitably hungover and very tired, hardly prepared for going to a very wet and windy Portman Road with Max. I was that bad that I needed a pre-match cheeseburger with loads of onions and tomato sauce to aid my recovery.
I expected an easy home win to cap a successful Christmas period and the early signs were good - Charlton looked like a team destined for a relegation battle during the second half of the season.
Town took a deserved twenty-fourth minute lead when Addicks Richard Wood turned Daryl Murphy's low cross into his own net. "Here we go my 4-0 prediction is on" I thought. Honestly Charlton looked lost and lacking in confidence, but somehow they managed to get to halftime without conceding again.
The second half was a completely different story, the visitors came out and had a go at us and all of a sudden we had to do some defending. We were given a golden opportunity to put the game to bed in the seventy-seventh minute when Town's Paul Anderson was tripped in the box by Jordan Cousins. David McGoldrick stepped up to take the resultant penalty, only to see his effort pushed round the post by Charlton keeper Ben Alnwick.
The afternoon was completely spoilt in the ninetieth minute when Charlton sub Johnny Jackson saw his long range shot deflect off Christophe Berra and into the Ipswich net, I was gutted, that's definitely two points thrown away.
The results around us meant that we stay in sixth spot. I don't mean to sound negative, but I don't think that we have got quite enough to be in one of the playoff positions at the end of the season - I'll happily be proved wrong though.
Ipswich 1-1 Charlton
