BBC: Ipswich Town revived their hopes of automatic promotion as Sindre Walle Egeli and George Hirst gave them victory over Watford at Vicarage Road.

Sky: Kieran McKenna’s visitors moved up to third by getting the better of Ed Still’s play-off hopefuls, who saw Tom Ince’s late penalty saved by Town goalkeeper Christian Walton.

Fran’s Watford Blog: It was a disappointing performance after the great showing against Derby. Still started with five at the back, but we didn’t really get going in the first half. There was a better showing in the second half, and we created some decent chances, but Ipswich were worthy winners. I have to say that in both games that we have played against them, I thought that Ipswich were the best team that I have seen this season. While the team performance left something to be desired, Mfuni was outstanding again, his composure on the ball is remarkable in one so young. Abankwah, who had been outstanding on Saturday had a few dodgy moments on this occasion. Our attacking play definitely suffered due to the absence of Maamma. The news that he will be missing for some time is a cause for concern. It was good to see Bove get some time on the pitch. He is clearly a talented footballer, and I look forward to seeing a lot more of him in the future.

Analysis: Watford combined resilience and luck to secure Ipswich draw

BBC: Watford captain Imran Louza scored for the fourth time in as many games as his side frustrated Ipswich Town to secure a draw at Portman Road.

Sky: The visitors’ leading scorer Imran Louza found the net after 16 minutes, with Jaden Philogene equalising for the home side.

Fran’s Watford Blog: This had been a difficult game for the Hornets. Despite scoring with our first attack of the game, there had been little time to take the momentum as the home side equalised soon after. Ipswich certainly had the better of the chances and Selvik kept us in the game with a couple of excellent saves. Pollock and Abankwah were solid in the centre of defence so, despite being under the cosh for a lot of the game, we didn’t look like we were hanging on. I had done an interview for Radio Suffolk before the game and had (unsurprisingly) picked out Louza as the man to watch as well as mentioning Maamma. I was pleased to be proved right. Louza scored for the fourth game in a row and again put in a man of the match performance. Maamma really impressed. As soon as he came on the tempo changed and he was completely unfazed by a Championship defence looking lively going forward but also getting back to do some defensive work. I am really looking forward to seeing a lot more of him in the coming games.

From the Rookery End: Mike and Kieran react to Watford’s 1-1 draw on the road at Ipswich in a game that saw Imran Louza score his fourth in four games, Tom Ince come in for the injured Rocco Vata, more rotation at centre-back, and our first signing of our Moroccan world cup winner Othmane Maamma

Sky: Ipswich missed the chance to take over at the Sky Bet Championship summit but did move up to second after they were held to a goalless draw at home to Watford.

BBC: Watford improved vastly after the break and almost won it at the end but are now five games unbeaten under interim boss Tom Cleverley.

Half-time adjustments key to such a strong second half at Ipswich

Frans Watford Blog: So, the second goalless draw in a week, but this was a completely different game to the bore draw on Saturday.  There was plenty to get the pulses racing and the Hornets were good value for their point.  This was only the second time that Ipswich have failed to score at home this season and it was due to a sterling defensive effort from Hoedt, Porteous and Pollock, with great support from their colleagues further up the field.  There was more attacking intent from the Hornets in the second half and we could have won it with Kayembe’s audacious strike, but a draw was a fair result and rather an impressive one against a decent team like Ipswich.

12th December 2023- Championship, Watford 1 Ipswich Town 2

WFC.Net Jon Marks Goal Commentary: 1

BBC: Watford went ahead when Yaser Asprilla punished an error by goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky, but George Hirst brought Town level before half-time from close range.

Sky: It looked likely that whoever managed to score again would win the contest – and it turned out to be Ipswich thanks to Wesley Hoedt’s error in the 80th minute.

Fran’s Watford Blog: The players were rightly applauded at the end of the game.  It had been a great performance as they matched a team that are running away at the top of the table and should feel very unfortunate not to have got anything from the game.  But they didn’t take their chances and Ipswich capitalised on a mistake from Hoedt.  It was another very encouraging showing though and should send them into the busy Christmas period with plenty of confidence.

Referee: Andy D’Urso

Substitute Richard Chaplow scored in injury time to earn Ipswich three points against high-flying Watford.

It was a tight contest throughout with clear-cut chances at a premium, but the Hornets appeared to have come the closest to winning it when Odion Ighalo stabbed a Troy Deeney cross narrowly over the bar.

 If there was a turning point – of the match, hopefully not of the season – it was the five minute break in play for a horrible injury to Joel Ekstrand. His replacement, Gabriele Angella, was almost immediately booked for an, um, assertive aerial challenge on Murphy…and suddenly it all got very tetchy and irritable, a series of inconsequential decisions going against us to disproportionate outrage in the stands. We lost our concentration amid the hullabaloo, we lost the initiative and the momentum. We didn’t get any of them back.
