Lovely header from Chuks in the centre circle to Smyth, who falls over at the edge of the D. Don't think it was a foul there, though he got pulled back earlier in the run.
45+1 Nsiala has gotten away with one. Smyth was through on goal and was pulled back by the defender. It would have been a red, but the referee doesn't even give a free-kick.

When Terry Smith calls it better than our Twitter feed, it's time to check yourself

Wonder if the directness is a reaction to last week, or a tactical thing. I feel like we've looked pretty comfortable, apart from a couple of balls over the top from them, and feel like we are more likely to score another.
Frustrating that we can never look like this in games where we have the majority of the possession.
A good game, both teams seem a bit weak at the back so getting it forward quickly. We're looking really good in attacking areas, we have some really good technical players
Did Maatsen suffer some sort of trauma during the international break?
He is looking shaky. The problem is Chelsea are so strong in their youth teams that most of the time Ruud (Ian) is attacking and he is still learning the art of defending.
Well, we're winning. Not sure it's totally deserved.
Thank Heavens though that we've stopped pit-pattering around at the back. So noticeably different to the other night. It may not look so pretty but at least my heart is not constantly in my mouth.
Good to see Williams and Morgan having good games.
This game is there for the taking, especially now Norwood has gone off for them. Anything less than 3 points will be disappointing.
They carry a threat, but technically Ipswich look quite ordinary, more like a typical hard working L1 side rather than a (relatively) recently relegated Championship side

Judge might end up on the bench.
