Why no Jones, Edwards, Coventry and Apter starting?

Sigh! Because they are not quite good enough...... Dexter Limp-Biscuit is keeping Apter out, for example 😜

Ipswich first corner coming up...

...Chaplin header goes wide 0-0

ForeverAddickted

Another corner to Ipswich, sounds quite an open game so far

Have they taken the corner yet?

CAFC on twitter: Remembering Ethan Ade-Oduwale ❤️

Bless him, poor little sod, so so young and looked at lovely little kid .......rip 😪

eastterrace6168

Sounds like a good game...if only we could bloody well see it...😫

Rich Cawley on twitter:

Ipswich fan in the crowd: "Blimey, calm down...it's only a friendly."

I don't think Nathan Jones is ever in pre-season mode when it comes to a match, whether there are points at stake or not. #cafc

ForeverAddickted

Ipswich put the ball out of play, so Ramsay can receive treatment... But Kayne seems okay

eastterrace6168

Ramsey on the ground, sounds like a rough game...

It’s literally a friendly you complete moron, f**king hell 

That sort of language to a fellow poster is totally unacceptable. You should have called him "Mr Idiot".

Time out and they go over for a team talk ! Much needed by the sound of it

ForeverAddickted

Costello down holding his knee, and needing treatment now

eastterrace6168

JRC sounds like he has sustained a knock on the knee after a challenge,

Cawley: Ipswich underlining why they are one of the favourites for the Championship title this season. Really testing #cafc's defensive mettle in the opening 25 minutes.

Sounds like it is holding up well, and no Jones or Bell either...

ForeverAddickted

Sounds like it should be 1-0 to Ipswich via. a few deflections, but final effort is wide.

First "proper" effort on goal though

eastterrace6168

30 minutes in still 0-0 sounds like a 50/50 game so far...

Laddick01

0-0 after 30 is better than I expected. Our lineup is very light.

I take it you’re listening on mute ? 

ForeverAddickted

Olaofe beats Woolfenden for pace, but Walton rushes out to gather

Its not like we're under the cosh though, and hanging on for dear life.

Certainly hearing our own forward players enough as well

Although equally sounds like Ipswich are slowly taking control of the game, which is to be expected.

Steven81

Long ball from Gillesphey sounds like our form of attack

superclive

wait till we put kelman and leaburn on ! and aptor.  they won't know whats hit them 

Charlton43

Something comforting about listening to us getting completely bossed in comparison to watching it.

CafcWest

Sounds like Mitchell playing well

ForeverAddickted

Important challenge to put Olaofe off balance in their box, and we win a corner

eastterrace6168

SOUNDS like Tanto is having a good half, I post this up at risk of being ridiculed...🙄

Maybe it's because I only tune my brain to the comms when we're attacking but I feel like I'm hearing "Olaofe" and "Kanu" more than I'm hearing "Al-Hamadi" or "Clarke"...

One minute of injury time added
