Ipswich Town 1-1 Fulham - 2024-25 - BBC Radio Suffolk Full Match Commentary

it's another Premier League match today on BBC Radio suff against shown versus Fulham our main feature back to Portman road we go to join former Town Captain Mick Mills who's alongside your commentator Brena woy after weddingday embarrassing Carib cup exit off we go again as Town tried to end a difficult opening month of the season on a high by hopefully getting their first Premier League Points well this is undoubtedly the least challenging of the blu's first three League games on paper there's nothing easy about this game and isolation far from it this is a really tricky fixture Marco Silva's built a strongl looking Squad with bags of Top Flight experience and no shortage of quality by finishing 13th last time around Fulham comfortably extended their stay in the top fight to a third season have a realistic Target of another top 10 finish something they managed a couple of years back it's what a left this would give everyone at to most importantly of course the players it can beat them be a massive confidence booster and of a very hard looking trip to Brighton off the back of the International break and when you look at this game compared to Manchester City and Liverpool Mick there's a a bit more pressure on this game isn't it for Town yes I think how I look at the uh the difference was this game as opposed to the first two I think the first two because of the occasion because of the newness and because of who we played the players would have been filled with nervousness they would have been very nervous about playing their first game here at Portman Road against a quality team like Liverpool and they would have been very nervous about going to the etad stadium to take on the Champions away from home this one is not about nervous tension it's about pressure this is the first game this season that we will have sort of met with pressure and that pressure comes from the outside it's what people expect us to do today against Fulham a lot of people locally will have automatically have looked at this picture as one that we would it will be our first win it will be our first points and it will be a a formality but that is not the case this team full of a good side you've just already mentioned they've had a couple of seasons in the Premiership they've handled it fantastically well they've finished in two good healthy positions they've added to their team this will without question be a tough tough fixture and I I I I think we're well equipped I like the new signings we're making I think we will slowly progress as the season go goes on but this one this one fixture will have immense pressure on the players there some atmosphere at Portman Road for our first 3:00 kickoff here at this season Town's third League game in total the two sets of players out in front of us Sam Mory leading IP town and their blue shirts white shorts and blue socks from right to left over the halfway line Aro Mur just behind him in all pink shaking

Midfield out to the left hand side Davis nice play this from it switch to in front of the Fulham fans it's Davis infield to Mory edge of the Box Mory on his right side goes down the left of the box now Mory Davis is down in the area and in quite a bit of pain holding the base of his back that was off the ball cleared Away by Fulham Davis is still down in a and serious discomfort play will now come to a halt with the ball bouncing out from Far Side alif Davis able to get some treatment that was a a lively first 90 seconds yeah there was a couple of little Mistakes by Fulham actually they they in between the mistakes they actually tried to settle the game down which is exactly the right thing to do when you've got an atmosphere like this they decided to keep the ball in the defensive third and just totally quieten the stadium down but then they made a mistake we got a little attack going and uh it was mainly through um ogini down this side and and he threatened got it into morsy and then Lea Davis was just going to he actually tried to play a little onew and then got sort of blocked off off the ball and uh he's okay now he's made a a long run back to his position something like about 60 70 yard run back he looked okay full of's thirdd season up after five have been the classic YuYu side up and down it's been 13 years in the Premier League between 2001 and 2014 a real fixture of course reached the Europa League final 10 years ago under Roy Hodson tan try to press off to our right hand side played back underway Diop smacks the ball long and out on the far side totally aimless from the right sided of the two center halfes it's a throw in which Leaf Davis will take his Deputy had a very good game Conor towns and many people's man of the match at Wimbledon on Wednesday of course it's now the twoe international break off the back of this town back in action at Brighton who drew 1-1 with Arsenal at lunch time that's their next fixture on the 14th of September Bassie to Leno Leno swipes the ball right footed towards the halfway line uprises monise the Brazilian trayor heads it infield to AI another former Arsenal player in this Fulham side joined from Everton he's tripped as AI free kick in center field which Lucas is on he plays it up the halfway line Diop to the right hand side and T down through the center Circle D finds Bassie little C turn gets Bassie away from Hutchinson now dap closes down di fham played out neatly to the far side and the Dutchman Kenny T now to his Fifth Season at Craven Cottage it was one of our favorite grounds to uh visit down by the 10 here is Robinson under pressure has conceded a corner kick good hassling there from IP switch Town they've won themselves a corner in so 5 minutes yeah that could be an expensive corner it really could you know he was under no real pressure he looked a little bit sort of as if he was going to take far too much time and in the end he was pressed into sort of passing the ball back and it was a woeful pass back and uh T have got their first quarter from a highly regarded left back Anthony Robinson full USA international former Sam Mory teammate at Wigan saw the pair exchanging pleasantries a few moments ago it's a long time since Town scored a Premier League goal at Portman road is this their time Davis with a corner to the far post Greaves noded into a dangerous area poured Away by Leno on his goal line cleared away left footed by Pereira Town regain possession but only after a foul the referee's blown his whistle free kick to the visitors well it only takes a two or three games to see what somebody can offer the team and and Jacob grees always seems to be able to get that ball on the back post and and that one he actually headed towards goal and it could have beat the goalkeeper but often he just heads the ball back into the danger zone but he's obviously a real threat on set plays Toni got the better of AI but then slipped AI with a diagonal ball out to The Far Side tro with his Pace can keep the ball in one of the quickest players around former Barcelona man taking on and Beaton Davis and the good from TR still tror cleared away not very far and comes a shot blocked Away by wolfenden then hacked away from the penalty spot by Mory first half a chance there for Fulham TR causing problems against Leaf Davis he's going to have his work cut out again Davis he's come up against some good right Wingers this past couple of weeks Davis he's up against another one today and he's firing up for it terrar is a real handful a WBY to Robinson outside the upou area comes across deep to the far post headed Away by Davis he's been tested at the moment schm clearance doesn't go very far PS hand ball not given it's t this is good pressure from Fulham T of Plenty players back inside their area it's the number 18 Pereira to trii pink boots of his lovely little ball into the box to T town still being pegged back at nil nil here is Pereira Pereira the great ball into the center headed behind by Tuan Z nobody's created more chances in the first two weeks of the Premier League with Andreas Pereira a player that has to be watched and that was a good ball in a super play by trayor and you're right you know poor old Leaf Davis has started with a hatrick of a very very good right sided attacking players yeah really like svino for City on his home debut last week off the back of Mo Salah now at D welcome to the Premier League Leaf Davis corner kick to Fulham with their tails up it's TR wide left dinks the ball into the center head away in the Sunshine by dap a woy gets the better of Hutchinson tucks it back to Robinson Fulham getting their game together here is Pereira the danger man another ball into the up area just over the top of isot all 6'4 of him Davis has a little bit of time to play a ball Down The Far Side just curls away from schmod who scored about this time last week in Manchester now with that Robinson good game of football so far home atmosphere terrific here at Portman Road Amil Smith row as the ball now eventually goes back with Leno yeah just was a slow play here it's it's amazing you know with with our three supporting attacking players we got them all wrong Brena you know they've they've completely foxers there is Wolf oh wolon sliced it out behind 40 corner kick to Fulham that was a very cheap one that was worse than Robinson for fulham's corner kick really but uh you know from right to left our our sort of attacking players uh on the right is O Benny and then Hutchinson's got the number 10 rle and smodic has got the left side attacking role but I'm not surprised because if you ever ask a a wide attacking player what is where he plays and he' tell you all three of those positions corner kick to fullhand they're second of the game we're in the 9th minute at a packed Portman Road lovely afternoon for this game referee wants to sort something out in the northst penalty area he's gone across you don't know the geography of Port Maru that's off to our left hand side Town 10 to defend that area in the first half if they get their way with the coin toss nil nil Fulham have their second corner kick of this opening 10 minutes into the center it comes it up in the air mer was less than convincing but he got away with it just watching that corner kick and and when when iwi had a corner six players go in the Box Fulham put six players in the box they're all within 10 yards of the goalkeeper um they all want to pass out from the back they all in theory Play 4 2 3 1 it's almost as if everybody in the country now are doing the same thing so you never really get caught out with tactics nowadays it's just which players implement the system the best good Jump by smodic the ball drops down to Hutchinson he might have a go he thought about it long and hard he still has it in the D Hutchinson shoots deflected back to the goalkeeper well you've got to say you know what you know what decision should he have made there he could have played OG Benny in comfortably and he would have had a comfortable cross shot against the goalkeeper he probably could have taken two touches on it uh but Amari Hutchin he's only 20 yards out and he he will have felt that he could just drop a shoulder move the ball one way or the other and get a shot away himself well he chose the latter I think he should have done the former but when you're in that type of position you've got the ability he's got you've got to go with him J McKenna just having a word with Chio OG Benny uh down below us well we have a little break in play I think there's an issue with the referee's communication system of course they're all miked up nowadays so Le Smith's been getting a bit of help from Tim Robinson down below us 10 and a half minutes Gone live on BBC Radio suffk sport every kick of every IP switch Town match this of course leak game three of a 38 match season in the Premier League I mentioned Brighton in a couple of weeks it's back toback trips to the south coast of town because a week after that we're at St Mary's uh Southampton hosting ipswitch toown then Aston V on the final Sunday of September fewer games by quite some distance I think uh this year we'll get to November having played 10 games last season it was something like 16 by the time it was it time got to November nine in the league and of course sadly just the one cup game before the new year for rwit town after the other night's disappointment Fulham playing the ball around Little Triangle passes on halfway Robinson just gets there head Hutchinson guides it back to the ponytailed bassi big strong boy Calvin Bassie Leno along the deck to T first time in field to Pereira up towards monise out to the right hand side tror he's going to get there with his pace gaves is struggling tror inside the iwit tanera with a pull back wolfenden drags it out behind and then has a word with his goalkeeper well covered there Luke wolf and he should have just come out and dealt with it even if he's just going to put it into the East End that's what he should have done B to be a bit nervous Aram it's his home debut of course Walton played against Liverpool felt from last week at the ET he had very nervy night marish debut really for him but he did show what he's about with a terrific save from Harland before he got his hat trick later on shaky moment there corner kick to Fulham there third of the game and it's high swinging away towards the d Almost it's WBY again to get the better of Hutchinson and play it back to Leno 12 and a half on the clock nil nil for with won the last six meetings between these two sides ready to hold over at switch town the town have never lost to them uh in the premier league and the fact the last time Fulham beat ipswitch in a Top Flight game was the boxing day 10-1 of 1963 tended to meet in the championship and leak Cup in more recent times over hit from wolon H Benny though generously gives a thumbs up to his number six out behind for a goal kick to Burnt Le well Sam Mory has just come onto the ball there and it's pretty much the first time we've seen him he did touch it earlier in the game but him and K Kelvin Phillips at the moment are not in the game and they're losing the battle to to ful him in that area without question also Fulham look pretty good in the wide areas haven't mentioned Calin Phillips since about the second or third minute I don't think we' played 13 and a half if you're just joining us late to this one on BBC Radio suffk monise Goes Down Under Pressure from gree nothing wrong with it though nobody appealed either morsy gives the ball back to Twan Twan loose from him it was away from Phillips seizing on the ball as trior skips away from Phillips he's having a good dangerous game trior great challenge by Greaves on Smith R but he's gone down holding his face I think it was just cuz maybe the elbow of Emil Smith R was coming down towards gaves head as he made that really good challenge the former Hall player as you'd expect from the center half he's up fairly quickly he's sort out his headband but understandably became a real favorite with Town fans given his 90 minutes here against Liverpool Jacob Greaves a couple of weeks ago fulum have the ball just underneath the center circle here is Smith row bounces it off of aobi back it goes to Diop looking good Fulham up towards Pereira taking on Phillips turning it around the corner Leaf Davis read it well great play from Davis driving up to the halfway line infield to deap he's got Hutchinson to his right hand side still deap good strong play Edge to the box he shoots and scores a terrific goal a Premier League goal at Portman Road for switch town the first one for over 22 years and what a hit from Liam deap Leno is grasping it air Town lead 1 n with 15 minutes on the clock what a fabulous goal it's uh Leaf Davis is good he sees is onto a loose ball over on the far side he runs about 15 yards with it he gives it to uh Rory deap and soon as he hit that shot you could see I thought straight away the goalkeeper beaten with this it was a perfect shot terrific surgeon run good player he look so good for rip switch S from the word go he deserved that goal the ball has been returned all right replacement balls on the field the main one is on the center spot as Emil Smith R gets ready to kick off let's see how it sits Town C was going ahead this week didn't didn't we deal with things that well last week although Fon no match for Manchester City but let's just see how they progress play for a little while at least well they've had the best of the early part of the game um but CH have just every now and again they win a loose ball uh it was mainly through Amari Hutchinson earlier on but that one with Le and the lap we do look threatening on the break yeah they did against city as well last week it was a really good goal Benny ball runs out on this near side for a throw into it with the tails up it's tan Z's got the ball 1 nil it to its lead Fulham live on BBC Radio saic sport it's been a really good game of football as well between these two sides which kind of thought it would be speaking to a Fulham fan on the blue hour last Monday she talked about how exciting Fulham are to watch how entertaining is the team dap just uh been overly physical on bassi is the referee's assistant on this near side let listen to Portland Road Leno to bassi at left back momentarily drags the ball back away from Hutchinson who's not given up on it ball down the line from Bassie there is Robinson F him in the eye of a storm at the moment Benny wins the ball but doesn't go towards bass he cleared Away by full and brave from Phillips sticking his head in amongst the studs of Pereira Davis bombing forward Davis ENT the air inside the Box Davis still goes but Robinson gets a touch and Under Pressure con seeeds a corner kick iwit to really going for it yeah good reaction from uh ipswitch you know they've got the breakaway goal they didn't have a good sort of opening spell they got the goal and now the reaction to the goal is uh top pass corner kick two I switch town they Lead 1 n Leaf Davis by the tunnel off to our right hand side the momentum with the blues of Kieran McKenna in comes the corner kick Luke's a good one headed down and [Music] wide about a million miles away from the second goal fairly quick succession it was thep again yeah we're not we're not bad actually sort of from set plays we've got Jacob grees is good Luke won's good and and dap is is the backup player if you like to the two Center halves and it it was his header that actually goes wide of the post but uh three good Targets in there that do him the world a good his first competitive goal for it Swit town deap smic's almost robbed Leno Lena doesn't look happy terrific pressing from o toown p him unable to get out of their defensive third Kier McKenna is applauding you it's exactly what we need to do because all of a sudden you've got a little bit of nervousness about the full and back players and and sometimes they go the wrong way when they're having a difficult spell they should minimize the amount of chances they take like the goalkeeper has done now go long you know but you get so many players they get overconfident and whilst they're nervous it the nervousness overweighs the confidence and they get in trouble P guarda took a lot of time speaking to Liam dap after the game last week name check Liam in a few interviews as well the Spaniard did off the back of his side to win over it town for the ball comes from Fulham headed down by gavves to Mory Mory along the deck to Davis Davis first time finds smodic definitely playing on that left hand side where we expected Hutchinson to be o Benny is down the right as we thought he would be this afternoon that's where he played in the week here he is on the ball OG Benny good chest tra by the former rotheram player Mory beat samil Smith throw to the ball here com tou town again definitely the better side at the moment Hutchinson to ogbeni into the box Robinson's back pedaling Benny still has it facing both Ai and Robinson Twan goes back to mzy Mory drops a shoulder Thor about playing the ball into the box in the end he's giving it down the line to Benny he's going to have a run at a couple of players takes on Robinson gets his cross towards a f stick swings Out The Far Side Davis will get there for town in front of the Fulham fans up against Tey shielding the ball away from the Dutchman trying to roll it off of him he then backs into Tey eventually Fulham get the ball away not too far to Win It Again swarming all over fulam Brave Square to wolfenden wolon carrying the ball forward as far as Smith row Twan the number 40 to Benny infield to Hutchinson back he goes to Twan this is really good stuff from mwit toown blatant shirt tug by a frustrated lukic on Hutchinson well again this could be expensive this is a decent position for Town Moy takes the free kick short Hutchinson gives it back to his captain on the right hand side it's Axel Tuan to smodic down the line to Benny good play this from ipswitch town really enjoying themselves at the moment the laap has given them a one-nil lead on BBC Radio suffer superb goal as well from the former Manchester City player gavves and wolfenden playing a little game of keep ball themselves up and down the center circle back to mer first time we've seen him in possession outside of his area wolen and forward towards dap nudged in the back by T the referee says no to throw in on the far side to the visiting team strange that one you know I mean that that that is an obvious push in the back you know and sometimes that's when officials you know just try and get too clever you know they they almost do it to up set people really that was an obvious push in the back to look at pretty much a quarter of this game gone Diop goes long looking for a Wy wol and heads it back into his penalty are good defending Again by the town number six warmly applauded as well by the uh majority watching this game yeah 13th last season Fulham a massive 21 points clear of that Lon who finished in the highest of the three relegated positions Lon still without a win in the the championship defeat for them at QPR uh last night difficult reac climatization to life in the second tier Town doing very well this afternoon in the top tier so far so good as wolfenden in the D gives it to geves morsy is to his left hand side in the Orthodox left back position Davis has pushed forward far side smodic goes back towards Greaves who Shimmy's one way then the other gets himself a little bit space now mic has the ball Town passing it around been a lot of I switch possession since the goal in particular Hutchinson's touch was too heavy Robinson's on the ball for Fulham infield to Pereira Fulham with Sasa lukic again he's on the ball just down in front of us the Serbian signed last January up towards monise the challenge on him is a good one town win the ball fans enjoying themselves so far here this afternoon have the thoughts of Kieran McKenna and hopefully an UPS toown player as well after this one Phillips to Mory schmod not strong enough touch from him he's given it to T lukic back to the center circle bass hits it down the halfway line to Robinson on this near side struggling to get anywhere really yeah but this this is pretty intentional because of the spell that town had once they got the goal fabulous spell put pressure a lot of pressure on Fulham and I I think Fulham are just doing it now just to quieten the whole stadium down again because sens it really did get hot oh time we're all over them and we're ever the well well them know they're in a game anyway marus Silva like AR his slot and petuol was also very complimentary in his pre-match press conference about what's happened at iwi toown in recent times Kieran McKenna they've been able to see what all the fuss is about had have been a different proposition to the one they faced last November here in the League Cup when they won that particular fixture by three goals to one when he's on the pitch one of the goal scorers that night there is um Smith R going back to his goalkeeper Arsenal debut at 18 for ail Smith had a couple of loans after after that really Purple Patch of goals a few Christmases ago I seem to remember but Di Surplus to requirements this season morsy to Hutchinson the goal scorer dap under pressure from two white shirts can't do much with it AI to lukic into the path of T just crossing the halfway line Far Side now trior running at Davis down the right hand side tror the ball into the box might come to a woi cleared Away by ogbeni only as far as t t crosses into the town box headed Away by Vani brought down on the outside of the right boot of Hutchinson he draws the foul from Robinson he did very well there Amari Hutchinson yeah good header out by tan zav good attack by Fulham uh Amari Hutchinson's very Lively in that number 10 rle every time there's a ball cleared he's sort of in the uh he's in the mix he's contesting everything you know so he's making himself available you know in in very difficult situations yeah Kier McKenna went out of his way to praise amar's perform forance last week at um Manchester City he's done very well plays nicely off of deap in that area of the field one would imagine that we'll see a debut at some stage a league debut for Jack Clark as this game progresses he's on the bench yensa just as well there's a chance he might get his first League minutes the sweet haven't played at Wimbledon in the week Suns come out once more at Portman Road Town lead 1 n live on BBC Radio svic Sports brilliant first goal for the club for Liam deap real cracker as well he won't see too many better in the Premier League this weekend one wouldn't have thought here is um bassi Everybody contributing to the hip switch Town lead back it goes to Leno inside his penalty area now bassi just has to hit and hope wolfender will get there ahead of monise and the half Vol Stomps It Forward OG Benny with little header down to Hinson then Robinson to bassi good strong Challenge from Twan back at left back is Robinson up towards aobi aobi gets the ball out to the right hand side and tror will get on it former wolves Villa Middlesboro player bags of experienc in English football signed as a free transfer as the ball is out far side but there's a foul on a fullen player who's holding his face wriggling around on the deck and quite a bit of pain Calvin Phillips having a word with the referee [Music] yeah I think that was a foul there's no question about it and uh it was an unnecessary one look really uh he was nowhere near the ball absolutely nowhere near yeah it's Andreas Pereira who is the player on the deck Brazilian who joined man united originally from Dutch Football as I say he played in that switch toown caribel Cup game at Old Trafford a few years ago didn't really manage to break through beyond that in his time in the Northwest but a key player for Fulham this season quite clearly seen in the puton starts this afternoon what his game is about Robinson steps over the free kick Pereira puts it into the town box wolfenden a strong header away back to Pereira One Touch sets himself in comes his high cross beyond the far post it's OG benid challenging with mise mise Shields the ball away from o Benny and wins Fulham a throw in outside the town area 1 n if switch on BBC Radio suffk Robinson gets the throw in looks up towards the it area but pulls the ball back to lukic instead now the right side at 10 to half Diop the Frenchman plays it to ttic gets it back now it's with Bassie Fulham with all 10 blue shirts behind the ball sauntering forward from halfway Dio drills it up toward Ward Robinson wasn't accurate enough OK Benny is there back effectively at right back clipping it up towards Hutchinson just too high for him and it's Bassie who turns it back to Leno One Touch from the goalkeeper back to Bassie down the line it goes from him red hot favorite to get their head of Robinson his header goes into touch one of the Fulham substitutes gives it to Anthony Robinson 29 minutes played in this Premier League encounter Emil Smith Row in his white shirt outside of his black shorts now it's with lukic square to the number two Tey now Tori who's looked dangerous when he's been on the ball running at the iwi Town defense F got the ball to him enough Robinson to keep in their shape Mass rank behind the ball Smith row threads the ball through the ey OFA needle to The Far Side Pereira to T then lukic and nice and compact trior on the right wing taking on and beating Davis getting into the a pulls it back tries to play the onew cleared Away by Davis at the second attempt trari feels he can get the better of Davis when he wants Robinson down the left hand side there is aobi lots of possession for Fulham but not threatening at the moment dap challenges the ball's out to the right hand side and T still dap the only goal scorer trari turns away from wolfen and great play trari gets towards the box then seems to go down very lightly he was looking for that good refereeing it was never a foul by Mory but he's dangerous Tri isn't he when he gets on it very very good you know he's uh he he believes in himself as well you know but he's got such quick feet and he can he can move the ball quickly he can get off the mark run him wise very quickly he's a real handful so strong as well upper body strength is phenomenal kind like we said for earlier on with Davis knows he's in a game thankfully Leafs run off that early jar to his back cuz that was really Str caused him problems early on in this game Bassie up towards a WBY battling with Twan they must have faced each other in the past Smith row b it goes to the edge of the Fulham penalty area they still Trail one- n dap with a cracker of a goal after 15 of this match dapid is trying to win possession for his side he can't manage to do it fulam to Smith throw on halfway trying to orchestrate tror W be down the left hand side Robinson's in front of him he tries to feed Robinson he does Robinson's cross into the area 1-1 trior with a first time finish the buildup was down the left hand side and the Spaniard who we've just been praising gets his first goal of the season for Fulham and we're all square at Portman Road 32 minutes played iown won Fulham won well we had a super spell just after we scored and then you it was very obvious that Fulham decided it rather than match you know pace for pace and and keep the game as hot as possible they slowed the game right the way down and they've gained a little bit of Confidence from doing that and now they seem to have stepped it up again and that was a terrific move down the left hand side Robinson got the overlap he got the 2V1 against uh Tuan zav ball comes in and it's a first time finish and a good finish you know past mck but uh it game has sort of patterns you know it's it's Fulham really want to slow it down and then ignite it whereas town are just sort of sitting back looking for a mistake from Fulham and trying to hit Fulham very much on the break test now 12 and a half minutes to go until halime 1 no first cling sheet of the season for town there is trow back and being tripped he's having one of those going afternoon sadly it does blow very hot and cold but when he's at his best he's right up there with some of the most exciting explosive talents in the Premier League he just doesn't do it on a consistent enough basis and that's why with all due respect he's at Fulham rather than his first club Barcelona has played for Spain trior it was a sweet finish after some nice work from Robinson and a WBY down the left got to go again there is Bassie Bassie looking long towards monise takes the ball chest and out to the right hand side it's trior the danger man back come the blue shirt trior holds the ball up against Davis gives it to Pereira pereira's cross looks a good one headed Away by wolfenden brought down by T battling for the ball but losing out as Phillips T is a decent right back oh nice play from Fulham Pereira who can definitely cross the ball in it comes headed by gaves not fully away Fulham get it back outside the up CH to Pereira little drag back to trow in the right town on the ropes TR is crossed was M with the header saved by mic that could have easily been 2-1 fulam yeah super move they've got control of it again now fullam and and whenever they seem to I me the goal came from down the left hand side which was an a rare attack down the left hand side but they're really good down that right hand side and and whenever trayor ends up with the ball you know you feel that something's going to happen that's a freeh header from about eight yards very close to the goalkeeper so there was never going to be any chance of a goal coming from it but it should have been A Better Effort really a WBY flying towards the ball near side and taking it out for a throw in to Twan 34 and a half minutes Gone live on BBC Radio suff sport all square town one through dap Fulham one equalizer from trior just a minute or so ago Town supporters getting some abuse and cheek from the Fulham contingent who've taken up all of the allocation up pretty much half of the upper tier of the cobal stand opposite Mory out towards the left hand side Davis who Ducks under the ball now takes it in his stride in front of him is smodic smic wants the ball but he goes back towards Phillips there is Mory Mory around the corner towards smodic he's nudged in the back by Tey town still maintain possession of the ball though with Calvin Phillips imagine he now get a run in the zwitch town team Calvin Phillips Fitness allowing of course got a lot of players heading away on International duty this next couple of weeks this occasion phip Philips understandably not in leag Carley's first England squad at some point he'd like to force his way back in there Philips lovely Cross Field ball L Benny heads it down you're only seeing when you're winning got the Fulham fans they're currently chanting Far Side Hutchinson up against a WBY skips infield tries to get away from him it will be sticking to the task Hutchinson still has the ball he's enjoying his game Amari Hutchinson well he really is you know he's getting a lot of the ball that's what he will like to you know from a game give me the ball and I'll see what I can do and and we're getting the ball to him on a regular basis enjoy playing in the center as well AI gets away from a couple of challenges up towards monise monise is brought down by Mory who says he caugh the ball but he didn't really Sam they got a yellow card for that as well not sure it was worthy of a yellow card yellow C foul but was a foul I think because he reacted you know to say I haven't touched him I think the referee more or less decided there and then that I'm going to put you in the book because I think he's been put in the book for telling a lie well yeah it's not like you ran at the referee or G AB you should you should get anything for that in a game of football Smith through to the left ai ai crosses into the up of chair towards monice lovely play from Fulham monise turns but the ball eventually gets back to mer to take a little while that was really nice play again from Fulham down their left hand side 8 minutes to go in the first half at a packed Portman Road and to get their first at least point of the Premier League season it would be nice to have something on the board ahead of the international break first one of three Before Christmas other ones come in October and November full of one of the last four visits here I'm be in five on this grout they've enjoyed their trips to suffk in recent years there is Tuan going back to wol wolon then up towards dap ball drops down to Hutchinson SM stays on side Hutchinson out to the left hand side really good play from him Davis in first was time deflected out behind by di it gone through his leg smic was in yeah but it was a bit flashy how he sort of uh cut the ball out you know I don't think Center back should be doing that yeah cut the ball out but not with a trick my goodness he could have put that past his own goalkeeper quite you never did that back in the day wasn't a feature of your I've never been able to do that and nor would you have appreciated a teammate trying it by the S no he would have I would have had a little word with him after that corner kick Phillips on it for IP switch Town swung towards the fast stick where wolfenden is but it curls out of play for a goal kick to uh Leno we're still at 1-1 it's good football though you know this is uh you know it's a tougher match than than what the supporters thought this would be but it's it's good to watch it really is it's good stuff better than the first Division and better than the championship two good sides AB to certainly playing their part in this a so far 1-1 game with 6 minutes to go of the first half here at Portman Road T hav got another home game think it's the 29th of September certainly the last Sunday when Aston Villa come for a mid-afternoon kickoff here is uh ok Benny weekend's big game in the Premier League is the Liverpool Man United match uh tomorrow earlier on today Arsenal won Brighton one other games brenford are playing Southampton Everton Bournemouth Leicester as to Villa Forest wolves and City go to West Ham in the Tea Time game it's the north London Derby on the Sunday in a couple of weeks time as ips switch with morsy that caution against his name gives the ball to He Lovely step in from dap who's taken out by bassi Kier McKenna's unhappy with that challenge let the fourth official know daps up on his feet the last thing it TCH Down lead is an injury to this man needs to be wrapped in Cotton wool and hopefully get through his under 21 appearances in one place just holding the back of his left thigh but he's all right took a knee to it I think rather than any kind of pull Stuart gray on the Fulham bench down below very experienced man in football working alongside Marcus Silva Martin per now having a word with a fourth official Hutchinson good play from him he's had a good first half out to the left hand side Davis Davis eyes up what's in front of him holds on to the ball gives it to Philip pH smic on the far side back it goes to Calvin Phillips he knocks the ball into the box looking towards H Benny with a header saved by lonard might come back toic who's hit it over the bar from 12 yards but I think the flag had gone up anyway he wasn't to know good move from town no it was a good move he was definitely offside when the ball came in I thought I think that's going to be offside but you know we bit of bit of practice you know good to see if our finishing is good and is is our backup play there and it was so you know there's good little bit of practice there but that was a nice move from Omari Hutchinson received the ball very close to the Right Touch line produced a nutmegs and then a Crossfield ball to a free Leaf Davis on the left touch line great play an exciting busy front three smodic dap and Hutchinson all permanent signings at least at the summer here goes the goal scorer dap challenging Diop yeah I was just thinking that Bren that actually possession Wise It's been Fulham Fulham have had the bulk of the Poss session in this half but when you look at the amount of touches that our backup three players and our lone Striker have had that's pretty good you know so they are still coming into the game although Fulham are controlling most of the possession Calvin Phillips is just fouled the Fulham goal scorer tror just inside the ipsit toown half of the field so free kick to the visitors again lovely sunny afternoon in this final game of the first first month of the season is it going to be profitable they LED through the lap after 15 but then a will be 17 minutes later scored the second goal of the game that's where we are at as Leno has the ball inside his penalty area trying to draw in deap still has the ball the German out to the right hand side giv it to do do Scoops it up in the air really got his toes of his right boot underneath that one gaves may he got his to stood on by trior limping away but he's fine with t have through now it's with lukach luk foxes Hutchinson who slipped the change of direction of lukach lukach is now Carri the ball across to this near side he still has the ball in number 20 trying to play M behind Benny's done brilliantly Robinson's cross comes into the tan a MCH goes towards it good handling but then he's lost it for a second he's got it again no need to panic overall decent goalkeeping yeah super play down on the left hand side again and Robinson getting himself free again decent cross but good goalkeeping he just had a slight spillage when he landed with with with the ball but you know he was always in control of it uh good bodies of Fulham in the Box as well so they when they do get into a Crossing position they they get plenty of Bodies In The Box to make the themselves available for the cross Pereira with a little touchdown to trior Fulham trying to lead for the first time in this game that's the left hand side a wobi the shade of this near stand as cross comes in easily headed Away by wolen in the right spot Robinson back towards AI 90 seconds and normal time to go in this first half Robinson down the left up against Twan gets inside the area then comes back out a w be ball into the area only to Leaf Davis who has time to control it think about what he's going to do he pushes it past T and then drops to the floor no foul given the referee seemed to get that right for me here is Smith R the ball's still alive threads it through to Pereira edge of the upch area plays into the box towards Smith R but covering back with smix excellent work from him as an extra left back he's done very well black great play by him don't spent a bit of the smodic cash yesterday I saw Todd cwell from Rangers here is lukic for Fulham edge of the area been allowed to run into the box down the right hand Channel luk still has the ball Mory work with him eventually pereira's cross into the center it's gaves who dives and heads it out a fair old distance looks it to under a little bit of pressure the final minute of the first 45 our positional play by the center halfes is good because they're heading most of these crosses out of the box but my big worry is there are too many crosses coming in the Box in the first place but the center halves are doing well yeah a good game L wolfen and obviously under the microscope now a little bit pressure with DAR OA being brought in and playing in his position uh in the week but take good foot of confidence and he Des deserves to keep his place in the side wolen he done well in these first uh five Hales of Premier League football Phillips fouls Smith throw they've certainly come up against each other in the past free kick to Fulham Smith takes just the two minutes of added on time there will be minim minut of time that's two minutes out of time t to the Fulham goal scorer trior tight to that far touch line they're right now rero the switch of play ball into the switch area headed Away by Twan into a Central Area Phillips gets the better of Smith through then goes down fre kick over the way of twitch town the fans enjoyed that yeah I think that was a foul but it good pressure the from the F and player anyway you know but uh we needed that we've just got to just calm down a little bit there Fulham are just taking the game a little bit to Us close to the halftime Mark and you don't want to concede another goal it's going to be a really interesting second half to this game on BBC Radio suffk fli Swit tank and hopefully retake the lead dap scored the opener after 15 and it was trayi who equalized after 32 sliced clearance more up and square than away downfield from Robinson so he throw to IP switch outside the Fulham penalty area to the final minute of the uh added on two here McKenna just having a little sa around his blue technical area down below us Tuan winding up the throw into the Fulham box off to our right canip swi TOS score a second goal in the final 30 seconds of added on time and it comes towards the near post gaves is up there headed down and Away good defending from Fulham but it's only gone so far Hinson to wolfenden wolfenden knocks it out to the right hand side it's Twan challenging Robinson should get the better of Robinson the big man Twan gives it back towards Hutchinson final 10 seconds of this half the referee just gave his watch a little glance it's wolfenden with possession inside the Fulham half of the field transan towards Phillips Phillips still has the ball can't go forward another check of the watch and that's it for the first half one goal a piece between these two sides it's been a good game MC Mills isn't it yeah I've enjoyed the game you know and and really basically we've seen you know what we expected as the professionals that the that maybe the supporters didn't expect Fulham are a decent team and they've come up here and they they actually believe that they can win the game as well so we've got a good contest here um some good players on view um as I said early on in you know you you're beginning to realize that probably everybody in this division will play exactly the same way so it's it's the winners of most games will be the ones that Implement you know the method of play the best you know but we've got two two teams here now Fulham dominated The Possession early on and and looked a decent side and we had to we had to sit back there was nothing we could do about it but every time we won a loose ball and then broke and got the ball in the attacking half we looked a threat and we looked as if we could get you know our three sort of uh attacking support players to Liam deap into the game o Benny was getting enough of the ball Mari binson certainly was getting enough smodic was coming into it periodically so it wasn't always a question of defend defend defend we had our little moments and and you could have said that that Fulham hadn't really created too much from that very dominant spell it was when we had our isolated breaks that you thought there was going to be an effort at goal so it was it was uh sort of you know a decent game both teams to playing slightly differently in as much one was doing most of the defending um but the danger moves came from the the team that were doing the Breakaway football but then all of a sudden the goal came and it really did change the complex of the game so much it was a terrific Breakaway uh started with Lea Davis he picked up a ball made a surging run he gave it to Liam deap and then he ran I don't know 30 yards with the ball he should have had pre more pressure than the play players gave him but he kept running running running he's got a lot of belief he got into sort of a shooting sort of position and he drove a terrific shot into the back of the F of net then for about 10 minutes the whole game changed it looked as if town were going to really go on and maybe sort of cement a good position maybe get a second it was a good spell fullam were reeling and then you just felt that maybe the word Came From the Bench that decided no we can't keep matth going end to end here you know it makes itps which look too good let's stifle the game again and they did that they did it for about 5 minutes they stifled the game with possession play and then slowly but surely took over the game and then they got the themselves a terrific equalizer really well-worked move down the left hand side good cross in the box and and then a very good finish um and then I think fhen sort of fractionally finished the game slightly better than town but you know this is a good game um what I liked about town did a lot of Defending two Center hars headed lots of balls out of the box which I like to see um but then when we did break when we picked up loose balls we got the front four into the game so they should feel good about the game the fact that they've had enough touches and our defense should feel good about the game the fact that if they do the honest work Get It Forward they've got players in front forward areas that can actually win the game so this could go either way well we waited a long long time for an IP switch toown Premier League goal at Portman Road and when it came was worth the wa terrific strike look out for it on Match of the day tonight from Liam deat sadly through a Dhat fullam equalized later on in the half and that's why we're 1-1 at halftime yeah he took the words out of my mouth there Brena mentioning match of the day uh brilliant brilliant strike from Liam deap let's hope he can get another or at least town can get another in the second half we'll be back with Mick and Brena for full second half commentary here on

3:00 kickoff just watching it West burs on this near touch line coming along towards the bench obviously unavailable at the moment for it Swit turn and Wales we wish him well his recovery from that hamstring problem that he picked up against Liverpool a couple of weeks ago uh the starting 11 was as follows and will be claimed from right to left in this second half m in goal Twan wolfenden gavves and Davis then Mor on a yellow alongside Phillips a three of O Benny Hutchinson and smodic the goal scorer to lap up top on the bench Walton Chaplin kust alhamd Johnson Clark that's Jack Clark rather than Harry Luongo O'Shea and towns and Leno the captain of Fs in the goal off to our left is back for T Diop Bassie and Robinson and it's lukach and Pereira the three of trior the goal scorer smithr and AI mun is up top for them on the bench Bender Anderson quena castania Reed KY Berger Wilson and him thps to there blue shirts with a white pin stripes white shorts blue socks playing from right to left so attacking the northand end against the white black white outfits of Fulham on the stretch smic pokes the ball back to Mory on the halfway line Mor having a decent game in there these two have course just finding their f as a partnership Mory and Phillips certainly got potential given the quality and experience about this too Phillips gets the ball off of wolfenden and curs it aimlessly out of play on the near side for a throw in to Fulham the replacement balls picked up off the little cone by Tey and get a bird's eye view of that trior versus Davis battle in this second half substitutions will follow every chance we'll see Jack Clark come on at some point for his home and League debut for R switch town did well in the week at Wimbledon will be a good signing for the club here is Tori simply with that a Dharma crosses very broad shoulders underneath us ponytail player Diop along the deck to Bassie slips it up to halfway and Smith row there is Robinson charged down by Hutchinson BL ball squirts to OG Benny he simp to do a full 360 before being nudged To The Ground by Amil Smith through was a regular last season futen in the Premier League of MC Benny so who knows what this level's all about Hutchinson before the season it just made one Premier League appearance for Chelsea against Manchester City as wolfenden goes back to m m onto the chest of Davis Round the Corner lovely play from Davis finding smik smic gets there ahead of his marker Wiggles into the box monic rib switch Town tries to go Square looking for Hutchinson unselfishly might have thought about hitting it well it must have gone fleetingly through his head eventually the big man bassi just shrugs schik off the ball clears it downfield that was good play from town they certainly got in there terrific play well done Leaf Davis you know that's what he's good at you know his forward play is excellent and he played smodic in beautifully and I think he could have done a fraction better Adam Tanner in 1995 the last up switch Town player to score in their first two premier league starts that's smic had a chance of emulating there Mory great play from him squeezing the ball Square between a little Gap definitely up for playing in the Premier League Sam Mory wolfenden along the floor to OG Benny gives it back to Twan Z his pass forwards deflected Mor he gets there ahead of Phillips gives it to Hutchinson Hutchinson back to his cap he's having a good game Amari Hutchinson looking at Hutchinson and that they know they're good enough to play at this level it's been great to see that confidence and they've certainly proven D us as well with their performances so far it's important to have that belief here is Greaves to smodic SM infield finding wolfenden back it goes to M been a good performance this from ttch toown it really has now it's with Jacob Greaves once again wolfon hav started all three League games as a partnership Greaves up to Hutchinson on halfway back towards morsy he holds on to the ball the out ball is Davis on the left he's given it to the former leads man now Phillips to Mory M he seen a lot of the ball in these early skirmishes in the second half Phillips loses the ball tries to win it back this time challenge the referee says play on though fulam have possession ball forward towards Robinson can't quite take any stride gets away with the ball eventually Robinson tries to get into the town area had support to his right but didn't use it and the ball is lifted up in the air into the gloves of M yeah when Robertson gets on his bike he's a little bit like Leaf Davis he's very very good in the attacking sort of section of the pitch you know I'm not sure about him defensively think he's a bit untidy um but when he goes forward he's a threat full and pressing trying to prevent it s to getting out of the final third been so far unable to do that at the moment Hutchinson crouching of the ball turning away from Lich he's done terrifically well he's been fouled really good play from Amari Hinson he's won a free kick on the far side of the field yeah he's certainly enjoying that position you know and stepped up a division now you know I felt that in the championship when he sort of replaced Conor chaplain he didn't know enough about the position but it looks as if he's learned uh a little bit over the summer desperate to improve Mari huton really good head on his young shoulders Kier McKenna highlighted a lot last season there more to him than just the flashy tricks and flicks and goals exciting play terrific attitude for a young player dap rip switch Town their first half goal scor goes away from the first Defender then taken out by lukic in Midfield that's going to be a free kick and probably a yellow card for the Serbian yep confirmation of that yeah good play again we we've got some very positive players up front and and when you're playing on the break that's what you've got to be you haven't got a lot of time to to sort of think about what you're doing you have to get on your bike and get at the Defenders and we've got a number of players that can do that you know and uh you know it sort of or as well for for the rest of the season 1-1 5 and 1 half minutes gone and the second half Mari Hutchinson's on the ball infield he gives it to Davis swi Town pushing trying to create something off to our leftand side Davis on this near Wing infielder Hutchinson try to play the onew but trayor with tackling not his greatest 4 to Clips the heels of Davis who's in a bit of pain free kick two HS which wide left this is a a chance for I don't know maybe a wolfenden or a Greaves to get on this long ball swung into the Fulham [Applause] box definitely definitely knocked him down just inen a replay and he he thought of nothing more than just blocking Leaf Davis there Davis has the quality in that left boot of his to create something from this wide left free kick py Targets in the center off to our left hand side and it comes from the JY great ball for defend it pretty well but there's a foul in the area by Tuan Z climbing all over monise free kick to f off to our left hand side live

going attemp to calm it down final warning for the town goal scorer full and free kick in front of us Pereira trying to Nick an extra yard as soon as the referee turned his back which they all do told to go further back the 28y old quite an experienced Squad as well Fulham number of players in this team at least at 28 years of age Pereira one of them it's 1-1 Town took the lead full and equalized 53 in a bit but it's gone at Portman Road f with a free kick Pereira knocks it towards the town area off to our right headed up by dap not fully away little nod down inside the box it's Bassie gets to the dead ball line can't do anything with it goal kick yeah well we've seen the free kick away and and just prior to that I was thinking this has been a decent opening spell for town in the second half we've we look as if we filled ourselves with a bit of confidence uh to take fham on and um when I look at the back four of Fulham I see a little bit of untidiness about them certainly if you roll out T the others di Bassie and Robinson defensively are what I call untidy players Mory over the top for smic too much on it they did lose uh toen adabo in the summer went to Chelsea and of course p that defensive shield in Midfield so a little bit of reorganizing they brought in Anderson from Palace he's only on the bench uh this afternoon the throw down the left hand side finds Hutchinson of ips keeps the ball in on this near touch line infield it goes to Phillips continuing to have a great game Hutchinson Phillips nice turn to the left hand side Davis former colleague of his at Ellen Roo infield Hutchinson little top pooke finds Mory Mory goes square the ball's bang in the center of the Fulham half Twan to Mory Mory digs out to Phillips nice play this from to Davis in a Crossing position comes in field instead Mory edge of the area left it across towards the fast dick up goes OG Benny back to Gold deap can he turn and shoot or lay it off to a teammate he turn shoots across the face of go and it's just away from smodic it's come off a fullen player it's a corner kick had it not come off that fullen player smodic would have tapped home for 2-1 dangerous ball in the Box caus problems and then dap who's actually then running away from goals has still believes he can get a shot in and he gets half a decent shot in which actually takes him deflection and go for a corner but that's good positive play from the striker again few Town Subs out first corner kick of the second half has gone away of wh switch to it's Calvin Phillips to deliver deep towards the far post the referee's unhappy though be a retake everyone's just statuesque when the ball came in what a little word there with h Benny and Bassie town have four five six seven players in and around the Fulham area two of those are Hutchinson and Davis just outside the box waiting to feed on scraps good battle going on between Twan and Bassie quarter kick number two of the half for Town and it comes from Phillips towards the far post headed Away by monise and as far as Hutchinson T try to recycle keeping up the pressure on that fulm back line Twan gives it to Mory the deepest of the blue shirts up towards dap dap's layoff finds Twan back to DAP once again dap edge of the area pulls the trigger deflected off o Benny tries to knock it into the center is schic it's smuggled out behind by the goalkeeper good spell this from town yeah very good spell and that was good persistent play and uh smic even sort of just sort of following the situation up and he makes the goalkeeper give way a corner kick there so that's good play dap fancies another goal back against it either listen to the atmosphere at Portman Road they got several notches if t score from this corner kick and reestablish their lead in this Premier League game if Davis pulls the ball back to Hutchinson Hutchinson delivers into the center caught by the goalkeeper Leno before wolfenden could put anything on it yeah that's the right decision if if if if they are not interested in if you're threatening to take a short corner kick and they show no interest in stopping it just do it because it's not only an advantageous position to get in it means that if you have another corner kick and you do it they will take notice of it given away by Pereira gavves is onto it for it switch town the better team at the moment morsy can they make that Advantage count dap caught by di referee says play on dap wins the ball back well for Phillips making the front is OG Benny trying to find OG Benny he's brought down free kick iwit outside the Fulham area fans getting a bit hot under the collar at the moment this is a good position for Town yeah it's a good position but to be honest I don't think it was a free kick I think it was just sort of running into each other I think there were about three possible free kicks before that one and that one I'm not so sure I think I think they deliberately ran into each other and one is trying to sort of get the free kick and has got it play got a yellow card very difficult to see whether it was Robinson or one of his colleagues confirmation will come up on the big screen in a moment 2 minutes shy of the hour mark ifs T of a free kick Leaf Davis certainly fancies this one it's a lovely position it is isn't it he's been lucky and brought the ball back a little bit from I think where the foul was but this will suit him if anything was a little bit too near near to the edge of the area initially yeah funny enough you don't want these free kicks any further in than than this is he's done the right thing this is the right position 90 second shy of the hour mark at Portman Road all eyes on Leaf Davis and this free kick off to our left the referee Mr Smith has blown his whistle it's 1-1 full of out everybody back it's Davis who puts it up it's deflected off the wall so it's not going to trouble lonard the wall did its job turn of another corner kick they third and quick succession yeah it was the right free kick to take but he just needed to get a couple of feet more more in the air to beat the Wall first of all but uh you know I think if he had done that it might have been Troublesome for the goalkeeper good pressure this from ipswitch town turning the screw they've got another corner kick once again it's an inswinger from Calvin Phillips off to our left it's a good ball headed Away by Bassie Hutchinson goes after it will get there first ahead of throw former teammate at Arsenal Hutchinson tormenting him hasn't crossed it in just yet eventually gives it back to Mory knew that the captain was always available Mory to the right it's OG Benny Benny comes in field gives it back to Mory first time cross from the Egyptian wolfen with a glancing header on Jacobs tries to hook it back into the center but it's gone out of play goal kick for the team from London yeah very good spell for it which we really open the second half really well in an actual fact most of the play this half has been in the FH and defensive half of the pitch and and we look good we look as if we believe in ourselves and there's a confidence about us and Fulham have just gone off the boil for me and uh they don't look quite as confident as they did in the first half 59th home League game this for Kieran McKenna hasn't lost two in a row before it's a long time 18 years since Town last lost their first three League games of a season it's only happened three times previously in the past at the moment good value for this 1-1 here at Portman road but still a fair old while to go more than half an hour's worth of football they're in the 61st minute at the moment fullam unable to get out of their half of the field K McKenna at the moment will be the happier of the two managers arus Silva the Portuguese former Hall Watford and Everton boss having a word with couple of his players in front of us it's a foul on on monise by Greaves gavves rather perplexed at the decision CHS away from the area free kick to philm just eases a bit of the pressure as Ben Johnson Conor chapion Jack Clark Yen kust and Ali Al Hamed at the quintet of town Subs out having a jog and a chat on this near side back in action in two weeks time away to Bryson Hutchinson wins the ball but illegally says the referee off Smith throw Fair distance away from that on the far side didn't look anything wrong with that at all now it's uh a wobi to Smith row there is um deop at the back for Fulham just doing what they did in the first half and Mick highlighted at the time just trying to get a bit of a foothold on the game got a hold of it FY took a bit of a chance against Hutchinson now they can maybe go through the gears Fulham just having a bit more possession which they desperately needed a WBY towards manise wolfen with a great back headers and a good game L wolen it's great to see yeah he did very well in that position he's he's a little bit cute the striker he really is munes he's he's crafty and Luke weron had to do the right thing there and he did came from flamco in his native Brazil three years ago uh monise had a l Spell at Middlesboro was linked with it switch toown at one stage but then again who hasn't been town playing the ball around at the back he's decent monise haven't got an abundance of Strikers on the books actually at Craven Cottage good ball there from Twan to smodic Benny's made a run SM couldn't pick him out failed by Bassie free kick on the far side to X Swit Town Dar o just having a jog back towards the tunnel for whatever reason play back underway the balls rolled down through the center circle live on BBC Radio svic sport 1-1 between between ipswitch toown and Fulham to doing very well Phillips challenged from behind by lukic still holds on to it eventually gets it to wolon s a bit more talking there I think it was a signal from Phillips to know who was on him and now quickly there is Axel Twan too morsy as ever happy to take the ball wherever skips away from one challenge gives it to smodic good play from Moy edge of the box it's Amari Hutchinson to his right hand side Z Benny desperately trying to stay on side has done o Benny has the ball tries to give it to Moos he was unlucky just intercepted by M Smith R Town continue to play some good stuff Smith through on the break for Fen trying to curl the forward pass to monise K McKenna clapping and encouraging his players down below us in some way shape per form we'll hopefully get Karan on air before 6:00 on Match Day your

comes trios cross towards the far post brought down by a WBY gives it back to Smith throw that was on target that was an important block from Jacob gves who gets a playful shove from Luke wolen in gratitude well it's the first time that trayor has been brought into the second half in decent position and by by God he's he's just gone round Leaf Davis as if he wasn't there he stood the ball up back post they've got control of it they they set up Smith row and he should really finish I mean he if he hits any corner of the goal it goes in real chance that for Fulham Fulham who' been under the CAU in this second half town have been the better side but it's the visitors who have a corner kick but two players run into each other Tey and Greaves both down on the deck some knees there's an accident the Collision there was like a a load of cars hitting each other and they all go down it's amazing really it's uh they all take the same Corner kicks that's what amazes me six players in the Box three players ringing The Fringe all the six in the Box are within sort of probably 10 yards of the goalkeeper and they obviously have to be defended against there's just a whole mass of players in that just one danger zone a long chat with Greaves and T Greaves just pattered t on his back corner kick to Fulham and it swings towards an near poost area blocked away then Smith hits it deflected could have gone anywhere it's out be for another H corner kick to Fulham well I'm pretty sure that was Greaves that came out the pack again to make the block and get the deflection uh well actually he he was the one at the Forefront of it and the the shot was pulled towards Luke Wolford and and he sort of put it away for a corner kick but uh another good situation approaching the final quarter of this Premier League game Fulham corner kick ah header from dap on the near post he's getting a shove in his back take a big dive towards the ball it's a free kick for that foul on him is there to be a winner in this game live on BBC Radio sa we have reaction to our local games as well and a full Roundup of results in the final hour of match there between at 5 and 6:00 our next full match commentary Mick will be alongside me the AMX Stadium Brighton in two weeks time they'll head into that game with seven points from the first nine after their draw at lunchtime with Arsenal fought back to get that point as well still unbeaten Fabian herzler their new manager in English football Williams L having a little chat for the referee free kick to Fulon halfway Diop is on it well I don't know what he's arguing about he actually stood about 12 yds offside and then the balls hit up the pitch and he comes back and makes a challenge on it he's he's clearly offside Robinson plays the ball back to uh bassi play for Rangers in a European final a couple of years ago was that performance that gotten the move to Ajax talking of Ajax here has the Dutchman near side T blocked off by smic getting through so much work yeah he works hard smodic it's not his best position I wouldn't think wide on the left but he he just operates it as best he can and uh he's been constantly in the game as Amari Hutchinson has still one-1 here gra elsewhere in the top flight brenford two up at home to Southampton Everton two Bournemouth nil Villa Two up at leester Town can break the lap through to OG Benny saved by the goalkeeper Leno good play that from it switch Town Benny went through the ball just went away from him didn't do anything wrong really it was a terrific run and a terrific pass the goalkeeper was excellent leag debut for Yen kust about to come on for IP switch Town one would have thought for Calvin Phillips an attack-minded change from here McKenna unless he wants an extra midfielder in there there is bassi looking towards mice it's over the top of his battle with wolfenden geves header reaches Pereira Pereira plays it through towards Tori well defended Lea Davis got goal side of his man and he needed to here is Arrow mic with a disguise little pass out towards Greaves gavves comfortable with the ball gives it back to wolfenden in his penalty area 21 minutes to go still 1-1 Hutchinson lovely turn leaves luchin his weight kinson there goes across field having such a good match now it's Davis to Phillips on the halfway line plays it off of dap now to Mory Hutchinson SP gets the better of Diop little ball into the bo to smic smic has stayed on side smic dinks it towards the fast take over the top of L Benny Robinson will get there first his front players for town still causing problems for Fulham yeah really good I mean Amari hson has been excellent he really has right from the word go he's been good he carries a threat all the time standing evation for Calvin Phillips he'll be better for this 70 minutes waving to the crowd and applauding back to them as well Yen kaj just comes on for his League debut for if switch down into the Midfield alongside Sam Moy the Swedish International called up to their latest squad on loan from Napoli so one loan player replaces another see what kind of an impact he can have in these final 20 minutes clearly a player decent enough at Wimbledon in the week as bassi knocks it long up towards monise mise controls it in fields towards Smith through wendon did enough well done back it goes to Mory and now with gaves 19 minutes to play whatever happens F know they've been in a game against a good side kind of be very impressive change for Fulham it's going to be the defender I think it is Anderson who looks to be not sander Berg actually as the player Norwegian midfielder it's been at Sheffield United and Burnley in recent Seasons very highly rated player had a play off of leaf Davis the referee wants to see this change through it's Emil Smith row going off for sander Berg interesting to see if that's like for like tall player rep by 16 sandge here comes a throw in which tetty will take me aside for Fulham 26 and a half minutes played in this [Applause] game t on halfway right in front of his manager marus Silva both managers actually animated at the moment desperate to get an extra couple of points out of this [Applause] game fin Chap and the substitute passes the ball back to Tedy nice for him to Captain the team at Wimbledon I'll be in defeat the other night chaplain has to catch up with him afterwards lukic in go smic on te tip feisty character smic wholehearted just that one opportunity to uh score on backto back League games when he in the end tried to cross it early in the second half just to see when we see Jack Clark he's out at the moment with alhamd and chaplain could be a real fresh at the town's front line here is OG Benny up in the from Berg The Substitute OG Benny then brings it down second attempt gets it to Hutchinson free kick given by the [Applause] referee live on BBC Radio svic sport Mark Hudson up off the IP switch bench having a word there is Mory continuing to knit things together in the center of the park kust tries to turn loses the ball trior is on it for Fulham Fulham coming forward with a danger man gives it to woi edge of the box Robinson's overlapping T get players back and win it not for long Berg is on it for Fulham Fulham on the left hand side with Alex AI low ball into theer could just Mak up for the era by clearing the ball up high into the Fulham crowd opposite yeah very tight contest this one really I think that we've pretty much matched Fulham in this half probably been the better side in this half and this could seriously go either way 29,5 17 which you possibly heard in the background can be quite difficult to hear the PA system here now and again uh 29 gone in the second half still no further goals in this game nips battling for the ball a bit too much says the referee in terms of the battling overstep the mark of Benny the back of a full play that's a really cheaply given away free kick as well Far Side that was very scruffy yeah dangerous area just two or three yards off the Touch line and and only about sort of 12 13 yds from the by line so difficult position to defend from this is a real tester for Town given the nature of wimbledon's two goals on Wednesday really disappointing goals they were from free kicks in Pereira Fulham theyve got a player of real quality on the ball let's see what Fulham can do from this set piece they've certainly been second best in this second half with just over 15 to go this is an opportunity for the londoners to take the lead for the first time here it comes from Pereira punched by marich keeper did well it's come off of one of his own players and it's a corner to F so difficult for either side to defend that type of situation there's so many bodies in there corner kick to Fulham over from the far right corner as we look at things right in front of that visiting look look look look real wrestling match going on on in the center and it comes to the Mir post headed Away by Mory tra by a woi he pokes it back to Pereira Hutchinson wins the ball what can t do on the Counterattack Hutchinson towards the lap ins slides the challenge of Pereira wins the ball Robinson and field four Fulham there is a WBY just signs they're going to have a little go now they've made the first change of the afternoon what k Ken's thinking of in terms of altering his side Herrera wafts his foot over the ball Far Side gives it infield to Berg ber in the middle of the ipswitch Town half of the field AI on a run forward on the Left Channel tip turn to the edge of the iwi a is still going to woy his shot towards the near post is easily fielded by mer is going to go towards the far Corner yeah I think he was a little bit allowed to sort of come in too freely there nobody really took the responsibility to deal with him and he got himself into a very scorable position yeah I felt that as well was bit too easy for him there 1-1 14 to go gavves at the back for iwit to thought there was noise when dap scored I think it's going to got up several levels if it to can score in the remaining minutes of this game as trior gives it back to Diop on watches Connor Chapman and his yellow bib down below L desperate for a slice of the action opportunity to maybe get his first ever Premier League goal a woi gets the ball controls it gives it back to Robinson now Pereira Pereira through the Gap to lukic oh Fulham in front of their fans far side it's uh Robinson live on BBC Radio seic sport your thoughts welcome afterwards 800141 2121 the phone number 81 tri3 the text out those messages sfk well done Davis getting the ball away from trior then he's fouled by the Spaniard who's unhappy and he's going to get a yellow card for his reaction a little bit like morsy earlier on that's what that's all about yeah it's his response to it and uh he has a case I mean he was going to really skip you know to take that off of fif Davis maybe a little tug maybe but he's he shouldn't have done that because he's got the legs to get after the ball quicker than leave Davis so I really don't know why they start pulling and jostling 12 and half minutes to go greeves has overcooked that pass for smic can conserve his energy yeah the game seems to have changed slightly since the Fulham substitution I think Town had the upper hand I thought that Fulham looked a bit uh shaky a little bit uh nervous about the situation and then all of a sudden they make a substitution and they've come out they've got a little bit The Possession and they're playing with a little bit of Bounce and Swagger again a league and home debut for Jack Clark in the next few minutes Kier bcen has turned had a word with him Ali alhamd is coming on to keep up his record of having played in every Premier League game so far change for Fulham is RO himne the Mexican Striker is going to be replacing uh Rodrigo monise good player him in got a lot of goals in his time at by number seven gimz very good player now 32 years of age comes monice or comes Ro as he simply called on the back of his shirt a double change for town still to be completed play will continue that current 11 out there wolfenden as M waiting for the ball behind him he gives the ball back to the goalkeeper exactly 34 played in the second half there's meric once again Town desperately Keen to keep at least this point within their grasp starting point to the season wolfenden to gaves gavves up to halfway aner just stretches controls goes back towards Wolford the he'll find Tuan Mory up towards halfway dap touches on nicely to Leaf Davis Davis Cuts in field against tetty goes back to wolfenden wolfenden then out to the left hand side unlucky he spotted dap it's unfortunate it could be the last bit of action for Liam dap a goal scorer this afternoon for it switch down the first change though going to see smic replaced by Clark it's probably one that Kier McKenna head prior to kickoff one would have thought so league and home debut for Jack CL and the other one as we suspected off will come dap the goal scorer and on will come Al [Music] H good evation for both the players making Ali Al good goal for alham back at Wimbledon in the week imagine if he gets his first Premier League goal this afternoon final 10 minutes are underway switch 10 right in this game Throw forward to the halfway line and Beyond Davis with a header but then nodded on by lukic out by wolfenden throw on the S side to T fum never any silliness from Kier McKenna just picked up the ball and handed it to Kenny t he manages just pick it up and then drop it as a player goes towards them will try to be clever K was only ever going to give it straight to the bloke tror taking on and beating Davis trying to likewise with Clark skipping away from Clark tror Crossing deep towards the far poster WBY goes up it beats he and his Mar toan zav yeah tan did really well there he knew that was going to beat the fullhand player so he made made out he was going to make a challenge but he had no intention of touching the ball at all and lets it go through for a goal kick uh this is a tense period for both teams really um you just feel that town want the three points fullam probably happy with one it's getting close to the end of the game nobody wants to particularly make a mistake it's a very tense situation we've got super Kieran McKenna here's the song being dished out by the home crer at Portman Road alhamd been wrestled the referees play with play on Hutchinson takes the ball out near side between he and Liam dap close run thing for man of the match for ipswitch Town fair chance dap will get it because of the goal but Amari has been terrific really really good on the word go and he's been a good all- round team performance Mor has become more and more influential particularly in this second half T have defended well as well here is leaf Davis we learn and C for him at the start of the Premier League season off to our left hand side 882 and 1/2 minutes played the town go on and win this Mory carrying the ball forward then to the left he measures a pass to Davis he shaped across hasn't done he's given it back to Clark instead Clark right footed towards the far post Greaves heads it back in the end to Hutchinson gavves wins a lot in the air Hutchinson holds on to the ball goes back to wolfenden M wants it in the center circle and gets it exactly 7 minutes to go Mor just over hits that one away from OG Benny was a bad decision we had a we had a 3v2 over this side if he had just aimed this side there was greez Davis and there was Clark all over this side against two players and he aim he decides to go right where we were a little bit if anything outnumbered Robinson with this throw Far Side for Fulham trying to build on their win over Leicester last week ball goes back to meric from Tuan live on PBC radio seic sport 1-1 between ipswitch toown and Fulham Mar to adjust now Greaves gets the ball out from under his feet goes long at the earliest opportunity Davis is on a chase looks a good ball from gz no the flight just helped uh Tey come back and it's going to be a free kick to Fulham for the offside change double change I think for Fulham Wilson Harry Wilson coming off former Liverpool player and Harrison Reed experience player reed spell at Norwich a few years ago I made his name at Southampton uh Reed more sort of holding midfielder as one of the two Wilson can play Anywhere across the three really for follow him in front of that there Amari Hutchinson ball over the top for o he's got the pace to get away from Robinson need support in the center oi still has the ball by the by line off to our left holds it up gives it back to Hutchinson what can he create he's running into the box Amari Hutchinson just taken away from him he then battles with it for a woi cleared not very far by Fulham tamin it back Twan to ogbeni OG Ben's cross is charged down by AI on the far side it which have the ball with Twan great Wing play from him then he fires acrossing towards the far stick Clark will retrieve it keeps it in on this near side to Leaf Davis Davis ball into the area just away from alham Carried Away by sander Berg lovely ball from Berg to the left hand side it toch down a little bit light at the back forward come the white shirts of Fulham it's him edge of the area the Mexican gets Inside the Box shoots saved by mic pan with a touch wolen gives it to kust and it's lifted out far side but that could have been a fulam goal yeah it was a beautiful break great play play by himz there you know and he he just bided his time in the end I think he did as well as he could because we did in the end defend it pretty well we showed him the you know the the outside he took it got the chance to hit a shot but I don't think he could have beat the keeper from there full of player down with that cramp in the D it's uh Pereira Harry Wilson's first involvement as to help out medically Tom KY is coming on for um Fulham actually it's lookit was helping and Wilson still waiting down below us come numerous changes for luk sorry is coming off L for Reed re still Pereira down in the D finally been picked up by himne the next change is a woi is going off to be replaced by Wilson one would imagine that would be like for like and KY is coming into the Midfield probably for um Pereira ky's been around a while mck's part one of our favorite Championship midfields wasn't it him Johansson and McDonald yeah he was one of our favorites don't know what he's like now but it's a bit late into in a game to make all these changes I'm not sure not sure about that yeah Cary for Pera he was good in the cup game last year here ky chaplain is coming on for it switch to and uh let's see who he is going to be placing looks like CH ogbeni leing field number 21 so huton will drift across to the right hand side and then Chaplan will be in the middle Clark down the left and of course alhamd we have a popular Connor chap it's a great evation as he comes on for the final two and minutes plus added on time got that late equalizer at Wimbledon in the week chaplain let's see can get the late winner this afternoon ball is thrown back to bassi a man Mountain Al Hamed just bounces off of him there is Diop in the center circle oh we're going to

of the first KY Scottish International helps of volun to Robinson tries to drive it in got trapped between the legs of Twan finally gets it to Mory here is chaplain Mory turns good play from the captain plays the ball out to the left hand sides every in the Premier League midfielder in this game there is kust lovely spin from kust getting away from Reed driving forward the suep fans will have enjoyed that gives it to Clark on the left hand side Clark com comes in field Jack Clark ofip switch down tries to find the far Corner got his shot away but it didn't have enough bend on it yeah everything about that was Good Sam morsy started it excellent play from him it was developed down the left hand side and Clark has got himself in a position that he would have dearly loved to have uh been offered and uh he's not quite got his shots you know right he's just hit it away past the far post but that was a good position very scorable approaching the final minute of the 90 to one Fulham one live on BBC Radio suffk can tell pick up a point at least the final game of the first month chap has the ball on the far side held on to it well gives it back to Hutchinson who goes in field to gust that run of a few moments ago had done his confidence the world of good just finding his feet in English football Amari Hutchinson around the corner Chap and there is Hutchinson again I say it again I think he's had a wonderful game Hutchinson has been so so good for it totch to kust back to wolfenden there is merch full and pressing but it's tling the football poor from the goalkeeper not a good pass away from him again we've not seen the best of him with his feet this afternoon I think he was a bit worried about that position the goalkeeper it was sort of like one of the one he got caught on at uh at Man City so he he sort of a little bit of a panic up there kust twins aheer over the top of Wilson noted infield by Berg alhamd is after it he challenges Kenney 5 minutes of added on time to be played will be minimum of on halfway fans have enjoyed that Hutchinson goes back to moric can t go on and win this game gaves back to meric mer then puts it forward out of play on this

through the middle one a ball controlled by Al hamdy but the defender got back there is Leno outside of his area to just spray the play to his left hand side and Robinson up towards trior now

Inside the Box not particularly well it's still bouncing around now he gets it down Hutchinson saved by Leno oh that was about to be the big big moment the goalkeeper was in the way of it and it's a corner kick to it switch he did really well it was a difficult ball initially to get control of and he got that control dealt with very very quickly and then he he managed to engineer a chance Town having a real go at the end of this game three minutes into the added on five 1-1 at Portman Road Davis with a corner kick this is high towards the fast stick alhamd is there he'll track it down kajus is behind him he's see a bit of the ball the sweet still alhamd try to bustle his way to the edge of the box but then he's given it away not good from him him andth the Fulham his attempt to fold is blocked off by mors but him was caught late yellow card for Al by of thech chosen by our match sponsor is number 20 Amari Hutchinson good choice good choice could they have made another choice I don't think so dap was my favorite I thought he'd get it for the goal I think Amari hinson's been The Stand Out play Both Sides brilliant all the way through oh absolutely deserves it quite often people are blinded by the goal but then dap had had a terrific game when he was on it was a superb goal another wonderful performance from him but hinson's been different level here is berg for Fulham on halfway into the final minute of the added on five Bassie gets the ball out from under his feet leaves Clark in his wi to the left hand side it's trior Fulham definitely the happier with a point at the moment and what more Robinson over the top to Bass he's not going to get on there could have got on that ball at 3:00 certainly not now with the 90 odd minutes worth of football in his legs mer has a goal kick for it switch down there 30 seconds away from their first premier league point of the season and such a precious point it would be ending a tricky week on a high mic up in the outer halfway Berg will win the header for Fulham trior on his chest F Fulham maybe their last Harrah KY coming forward for them great challenge by Hutchinson superb defending from him Robinson stumbles and there is confirmation that it switch toown have their first premier league point of the season a thoroughly deserved point at that they've drawn 1-1 with Fulham yeah there's no question at all we deserve a point we Pro probably I would say on the second half performance probably deserve to win the game really you know because I think first half I liked a lot about the Fulham team um I thought they had you know control of the game that was taken away from them by daps excellent sort of strike put town in front gave town the impetus they took control they looked really good for about 10 minutes and then a very thoughtful fullham outfit then decided to to slow the game right back down which they did and then they took control up to halim uh a very intriguing first half and interest in first half and then second half I think it was all about desire and I think Town had more desire in the second half to win three points than what Fulham had you know Fulham had their moments but Town generally speaking put on a good display in that second half and and constantly took the game to to to Fulham first half they were playing Breakaway football second half they were pinning Fulham in for long spells and and you just thought there's going to be a goal coming from somewhere but unfortunately it didn't come but we've had some decent performances I think the two center backs must take credit for the amount of balls they dispatched out of their own penalty area that's the job they've got to do if they're asked to do it they've got to do it and and they've got to give distance on the headers they did that really well um I think morsy came into the game more so credit to him I didn't think he had a really good first half but he had a good second half but it was the the four attacking plays that sort of impressed me not just in the second half when we had the upper hand but in the first half when we didn't they were very patient they kept sort of searching for positions where are overwhelm work defense and Midfield players could find them and and what they were able to get balls out up to those four players their contribution in the first half against the Runner play was very very good Hutchinson constantly in the game smodic periodically coming into game um uh aobi sorry ogbeni got enough of the ball maybe not quite enough of it and and it was just just good enough you know and they supported uh Liam dap well and gave us plenty of Brea breathers in the first half but second half was was impressive I think that we knew what we wanted and we went out to get it we wanted three points we had the desire and the belief that we could get those three points and I think that we we really tested Fulham out in that period of time Fulham came through it um they had the odd ch answer two in the second half but generally speaking second half was for 10 and important to get something on the board this first month of course it wouldn't have been the end of the world if T had lost this game they still had 35 to go but you know what I mean Mick that they're going into the break they've seen off August they have a Premier League point to their name yeah without question I mean we didn't expect anything from the first two uh but we desperately needed to get something from this game we didn't get the three but we've got the one we could have a little breather now we can you know the manager will have lots of time to talk to the players about it they can really generally sort of um take some confidence about what they've done so far you know they they uh they're coping they're coping with the division they look as if they're happy playing in the division and what I like is not all the new faces have done any you know they haven't sort of done anything they haven't had the opportunity to do it so far but people like Jacob greeves that looks an excellent signing to me you know and uh you know he's going to really give us something and bringing H Mari Hutchinson back that's that's without doubt a good signing he looks as if he's got a couple of positions in him now I never thought that in when he was first here he could be a number 10 but he did that really well today we know he can play down the right hand side uh Liam Liam deap has settled really quickly so they're three big signings that we've made especially when you're talking about the amount of money and for me that looks as if the money has been spent really really well other people are going to come into it I think when we see more of uh Jack Clark he's going to show us what he's all about Kelvin Phillips is going to settle we know he's got pedigree so you know it's it's looking pretty good you know we've got the first three games out of the way the first month's gone I think we can settle down now and and really sort of start to maybe take one or two of these teams on and and and believe that we can get a win bring on Bryson in a fortnite hip tot
