a complete performance v ipswich

Professional,  on the front foot and no shortage of skill,  commitment and tactical awareness. 

 

Well done boys.

 

A tremendous performance against a very strong side.

I think big Mick thought this was coming - hence his bigging us up - for his own damage limitation.

Other results going our way too. It is it at New York that will decide whether we stay up or not, glad to see we're going for the 'you're on our patch - and this is what we're going to do to ya' philosophy, and long may it continue.

Keep it going Derbyshire too - keep making us eat our words (although I was most excited about him when he joined)

That was certainly one of the more accomplished performances at home this season, it's no coincidence that we are also fielding a more settled 11. Less of the tinkering and trust the players out there. I'm coming round to Derbyshire, but there's more to do.

^^^ Agreed Pod - he's coming from such a low starting point, but he's going in the right direction, and goals breed confidence

Good team performance and the goals came at the right times. On another day Ipswich could well have been 2-0 up in the first 10 minutes but we rode the pressure and grew into the game and shock of shocks we score from a set piece and then saw the half out pretty comfortably to be fair. They came out second half and threw everything but the kitchen sink at us and really should have equalised but for a brilliant finger tip save from Colin and Fryers clearing a certain goal off the line and then double shock we score from another set piece, this time a corner as everybody is shouting for the foul on Arnason, up pops Sammon to drill the ball home. That knocked the stuffing out of Ipswich and we controlled the game after that with Bowrey almost putting the icing on the cake with a superb breakaway that he looked certain to slot home but credit their keeper for pulling off a terrific stop.

Green man of the match for me (but could have been anyone from 4 or 5) Fryers a lot better today and looks closer to the player valued at £4m. Derbyshire and Sammon were immense as was Richardson who probably had his best game for us since signing for us. At the back Morgs and Arny dealt with everything that high scoring Ipswich could throw at them, Colin pulled off some superb stops and Smallwood broke play up well and dealt with their physicality.

All told this is a massive 3 points in a tough run of games. I said the other day if we can 5 points out of February it would set us up nicely to stay up. Lets hope we can build on this and not just stay up but be comfortable in mid table by the time we play Leeds.

Echo the Post Heading - Well done lads.

Collin kept us in the game, Smallwood was superb ... again and Green was my man of the match today. Good shift put in by all though. Well done Millers.

Just a brilliant performance today. If anyone watched last night's rugby, this match followed a very similar pattern. Ipswich looked extremely big and dangerous from the off and had 4 quality goal attempts before we got going. However, we soaked up that early pressure, rode our luck, and then started to impose ourselves on the game. Great performances all round but have to agree that Green was outstanding. In the end, we were unfortunate not to win by a bigger margin.

At this rate, the 6 Nations is looking good and another year in the Championship looks a lot more likely.

Looks like we all saw the same game. That has to be a good sign.

Collin really did well on a couple of occasions, especially from luke chambers header.

Midfield were so controlled and focused and eveniin those first 15 minutes of each half we didn't buckle, but kept the shape.

Difficult to single anyone out.

Very impressive.

Thought the first half was poor from both sides and surprised at how much respect Ipswich were giving us.

Second half better with tremendous effort....

The game lacked quality but we got the breaks and Ipswich surprisingly threw in the towel after our second.

Derbyshire caused all sorts of problems to their big defenders....

Fantastic result especially for those astute enough to bet on a top half finish.

A quiet first half up until the first goal was scored. Morgan was immense at the back along with the steadying influence of Arnason.

The Millers were well prepared for this encounter.

Upwards and Upwards!
