569: Kings of Anglia: We pick our stand-outs as five-star Ipswich demolish Sheffield United

24:52Yeah, very much so. And of course, he actually scored against Town of the Orthorns. Stu, do you want to say any more about Dianna?

24:57Stuart Watson:Yeah, I think the furlong signing, you're right. When it happens, you think, why right back? It's left back that Ipswich are short on with the Townsend injury. Why have they gone and signed another one? They've ultimately ended up with four, with Ashley Young, Ben Johnson, and Harry Clarke to come back from injury as well and Furlong. But Kieran McKenna has obviously looked at it, the Ipswich conceded a lot of goals, not only in their Premier League season, but even in the Championship promotion season, it was a case of kind of we'll score more than you at times. And he's obviously looked at this and thought there needs to be a bit more defensive solidity.

25:33Stuart Watson:I think this is a kind of system-led right-back signing that Ben Johnson has qualities, no doubt about it. He did some good things in the Premier League. This is a player dropping down to the Championship for the first time in his career. But he's better going forwards than he is defensively. And that has a whole impact on the team. Leif Davis is the player that he is. He's crucial to Ipswich, getting forwards, creating chances. And for that to happen, you need a right-back who wants to tuck in and defend first and foremost. And I'm not sure Ben Johnson is that. Harry Clarke, obviously, we don't know.

26:09Stuart Watson:you know it's going to be a while before he's back to where he's at um injury wise um so i think that's why they've done it and i think that we saw some very early proof of that with furlong you're right solid is the word to probably describe him in this game um and it frees up leaf davis to be able to go forwards and then it's about getting that left-sided balance right this is all about balance and chemistry when we're talking about the gelling process there have been times where I think both Philogene and Clark are kind of paint on your boots wingers that end up occupying the same spaces that Leif Davis wants to get into and Kieran McKenna talked about it post-match they've been working a lot on that this summer about finding a way to get that balance right because Nathan Broadhead was a kind of inside forward when he played that role and he would tuck in and that would allow Davis to get forward on the overlap it can work with a Philogene slash Clark, but they need to work on it.

27:06Stuart Watson:And interesting that Philogene referenced Junior Stanislavs in there, the new coach at Ipswich, a former left winger himself. So that will probably help with the likes of Philogene and Clark, but I thought they got the balance of the team looked a lot better with Furlong tucking in at right back. Davis and Philogene dovetailed a lot better in this game. Those are the things that we're looking for going forwards for Ipswich. Very much so. And I want to stick with you, too, because you spoke to this man in international break or for international break, an exclusive interview with him. And that is the midfield.

27:38Obviously, Jens, we love him. But Azor Matasiwa, here he is battling for the ball. Let's praise him because he just, every game he just gets better and better. And he said in your chat that he hasn't got to that level yet. He had a tough, obviously, debut at Birmingham, but since then he's sort of stepped up and he's mustered.

27:57Stuart Watson:Yeah, I think he's got better and better game by game, hasn't he? and I thought he was outstanding in this match. Villagin will get the headlines, rightly so, but such an integral role in this team, isn't it? Someone who's shielding the back four, who's starting attacks, who needs to be comfortable in receiving possession in tight areas. I really like him as a character off the pitch from that interview and I think those that read it said that they felt a bit of extra connection with him and I think that's important that people get that emotional connection with with these new players as personalities but as a player as well he's growing and growing on people how many times did he step in and um you know the old adage about you shouldn't good defenders shouldn't come off the pitch covered in mud because you know that that's a sign that you're making too many last-ditch tackles how many times did he make perfect standing tackles where he was just in the right place at the right time, stepped in, took the ball, stayed on his feet, came away from it, played a pass, got Ipswich Town going in the opposite direction.

29:04Stuart Watson:As I say, that was very much the case for the fifth goal. Yeah, I'm really encouraged by him and that midfield partnership of him and Kuyusta looks really good, doesn't it? Yeah, it does, AJ. Fellow Dutchman, I'm sure you've been impressed by us all yeah not dutch but thank you lived there um yeah i think he's been excellent and as you say the way that he's improved i don't want to look into kind of stats generated ratings a lot but i think it does just paint a really easy picture that passes the eye test you look at one of the ratings on that i've got it called fopmob um 6.2 against birmingham of the sand was was a really tough one goes up to 7.1 against Southampton 7.5 against Preston and Derby 7.9 against Sheffield United the stats generate those numbers and it shows that there's a consistent improvement there the it passes the eye test as well doesn't it because we've sat here and we've said the same things he does all the right bits um I think that obviously on the pitch like we've said already he's just getting to this point where he's ticking every single box um physically and And kind of suiting the role, I think that, as I've mentioned before, on the pitch, I think he's going to be an upgrade on Sam Morsey in terms of what he can offer in that kind of sense.

30:22The fact that he's 27 as well, there's so much to like with Azul Matasiwa. And I think that the midfield there is going to grow. And you know what the other bit I really liked was as well. There's a clip that I put out where he's on the pitch, and I think they've just changed Cajusta for Nunez. and you can see the smile on Matasiba's face when he sees Marcelino Nunez come on. He's like, wow, this is the levels that we're able to bring on when we're 3-4-0 up to add to a game. Yeah, right character, right personality, right player, every single aspect.

31:00Stuart Watson:He's a bit different to Morsi, isn't he? I think Sam is someone who could carry the ball more than Azor. I don't think you're ever going to see Azul suddenly eat up five, 10 yards off the pitch and shrug people off and get you up the pitch in the way that Sam Morsi does. I don't think you're going to see him chip in with as many goals as Sam Morsi. I might be wrong. I think he, you know, if the interview he did with me, he talks about knowing what I am and not trying to be anything different when he's got these big moves with big money. Don't try and suddenly be something that you're not. He's a holding midfielder who wins the ball, who gives it to other players.

31:40Stuart Watson:But he can pick a pass as well. That's the way he progresses the play, not through sort of running with the ball, but through line-breaking passes. And, yeah, that comes from his Ajax background. If you come through the Ajax youth system, you look after the football. It's an obsession with possession. Then he's gone to France and dealt with the physical side of the game and the intensity side of it. and all roads have ultimately led to England where I think stylistically he's a really good fit for championship football and obviously Ipswich feel when he feels that ultimately Premier League is where his skill set is going to be best based.

32:16Stuart Watson:So really encouraged by the early signs of Azor Matasia as a man, as a player and really look forward to seeing him grow over the coming months. Yeah, I put a sort of hot take on him scoring the first goal in this game and yeah, I don't think he will score many goals but he will obviously be involved and creating chances and stuff. But, yeah, really impressed by Zor so far. Just seems like another humble lad in this squad and another sort of character I'm sure Kieran McKenna brought in because it just fits the team. AJ, you mentioned it. Yeah, what an opportunity, what a good sub to bring on in the midfield with Marcelino Nunes because, yeah, his first appearance in the Townshire, he really scored at the end there with a free kick.

32:58It sort of set up nicely for him, but in the end it just went wide. but yeah, first thoughts on him? Yeah, good. That would have ruined my report that I'd pre-written about 10 minutes before that free kick went in. I was thinking, I don't want to have to rewrite my five-star town headline. But it would have been really good for him, wouldn't it? Get his town career off to a real flyer. He arrives at Portman Road with a hell of a lot of hype, but also maybe a bit of a point to prove with the fact that he's had all, And understandably, and possibly, if not probably quite wrongly, these comments that have come from his former employers, let's say, that he needed to shut some of those up.

33:41Now, this is very early days. He came on with about half an hour to play on the pitch. What I've seen from him so far, very, very impressed. Offer something else to the other two midfielders, I think is the first thing to say. That kind of attacking drive that he has, he's not a number six. He's not going to sit back. He's the kind of player that if you're starting with Kuyusta and Matasiwa and you want to be able to bring someone on, you have that bit of X factor in one of those deep line midfield roles, that is Marcelino Nunez. And we saw that with some of the times that he was getting forwards, the way that he linked up so well.

34:13Again, hasn't had a lot of time to play with his new teammates, but seems to know them all very well, seems to gel very quickly into the squad. The ball sticks to him like glue. He doesn't lose it. We've seen some of the running already. we've seen the ground that he covers he's had a couple of shots I think in that one, there was one that he kind of scooped quite far wide in stoppage time but also shows again that he has that ambition to take aim from distance and then the free kick as well which wasn't that far away and it is really good to have a free kick taker because in the time I've covered town, I'm not sure I've seen it, so it's score a direct free kick that's gone straight in, so that would be good if he could add on to that one just such a great option to have isn't it and yeah as I said offer something else to the midfielders that Ipswich have at their disposal at the moment excited to see what he can bring in the coming weeks and he'll get those opportunities as well because Jens Kust is not going to play week in week out we have Tuesday nights coming up Charlton Bristol City down the line and I don't see Jens Kust playing Saturday Tuesday so we'll get to see a bit of rotation in there we'll get to see some more of Marcelino Nunez Stu you're mooted also I want to quickly mention I don't know if you guys have seen the video but the video that the club put out of him going come on tractor boys just nice little field good moment but yeah Stu unmute yourself

35:36Stuart Watson:sorry yeah just to highlight the difference between Jens and Marcelino as players he replaced Jens who's okay by the way we were a bit concerned that he went off hobbled off a little bit didn't he was worried it might be his knees that he has to manage, but it was just a bit of an ankle knock. But Kieran seemed pretty laid back about that being okay. But he replaced him just after the half hour, as Alex mentioned. Nunez made one fewer pass than Jens Kuyusta in that football match, 24 compared to 25. And he was only on the pitch for 30-odd minutes compared to an hour. So Jens is a ball carrier, as we know.

36:13Stuart Watson:We know he's someone who's got the silky spins and he can drive you up the pitch. And his sort of attacking influence comes that way. Marcelinho is a pure technical playmaker, isn't he? Someone that I think in games where if we get the Derby scenario again or the Preston scenario where there's a deep block, he's someone that can pick the lock. He's got that little bit of a magic factor, hasn't he? And we're going to see a free kick goal at some stage, aren't we? The whole crowd, there's a booming chant of Nunez which won that free kick about 30-odd yards out, fairly central late on. And that was a whisker over the angle of bar and post, wasn't it?

36:49Stuart Watson:Great effort. yeah what about october 5th hey that'd be a nice day to do it um everyone knows i'm sure knows that date we shall see what happens um another player to speak about aj is the uh sindra wally igeli yeah close enough wally i'm not quite buying i'd go with walla well yeah wally's like that the robot isn't it yeah that's what i was thinking i can help you out here boys i've got a voice note of him recording his name himself this is what the audio i'll find it while we're talking i believe the val vala is with like a v it's like a yeah a soft soft w and uh i'll find it for you hang on sindra vala egeli is how i'd go with it um his audio clip they did with this announcement he said egeli quite quickly so i thought it was egli but it's not i think it's sindra vala egeli let me play this

37:47one more time

37:54I'm happy with that but I think I've nailed that now first impression first impression of him he played 20 minutes I think of this game obviously comes on at a point where momentum has shifted in the match hasn't it but he wants to come on make an impression and you can see that with the way that he's kind of getting into those advanced areas again a different type of right winger to casey mcateer um one who i think we saw occupy kind of those narrow spaces quite a lot where he likes to come inside um and that again having a different option for that position is really good wants to take people on wants to kind of use his physicality doesn't look out of place in the championship at all which i think is largely down to his size, at least from what we've seen early doors, his size is such a big help in the physicality, where I think players can come in from Scandinavia into a very different league and a very different environment, and it can eat them up.

38:53And this is a Norwegian 19-year-old who looked perfectly at home. And yeah, it was good to see the crowd get right behind him, because he needs that, and I think he enjoyed that. I liked the bit, of course, where the ball comes to him and everyone urges him to shoot. He does shoot. It's blocked the shot that he has. I think that was one of two that he had. He had two blocked shots that he had. This one's from quite far out. We're talking about 30 yards or so. It's one of those that probably whoever's blocked it will have a bit of a bruise, I'd say, in the morning and ends up actually, of course, playing quite a pivotal part, that shot in falling to Jack Clark, who absolutely embarrasses Ben Godfrey in Ben Godfrey's probably worst performance at Portman Road, I'd say, for the fifth goal.

39:39So, yeah, look, it's very early doors with him. We've only seen the brief glimpse in a very bizarre game to come into from his perspective, but really like what we've seen from him so far. Don't forget, he's come into this group as well, having signed, then gone off straight away to go on international duty with Norway under 21s, then returning probably on Wednesday, training Thursday, Friday, maybe, if he's not had any time off, that is, he's literally had no time at all to get used to the system. So that was a really strong debut, all things considered. Yeah, very much so, Stu. You know, were you impressed by him?

40:17You know, yeah, he looks like he can do a lot of fun, the bastards, if he's in the right position.

40:21Stuart Watson:He can certainly hit a ball when it's stayed hit, didn't it? I think both those shots that he had left defenders flawed. First impressions are he's just, for a 19-year-old, he's physically impressive if he's got some physical growth to come you think he could be a real unit so those sort of wide players that have got size and skill are a rarity that's why Ipswich have paid the money they have and why so many teams across Europe were eyeing him up so nice game for him to come into while Ipswich the crowd and the players are up and he could go on and have a bit of fun and I think it would be good for him if Ipswich can find a bit of form as a team.

41:03Stuart Watson:And it means that there's not so much pressure on his shoulders and Ipswich can kind of integrate him slowly. But yeah, another encouraging first glimpse of a new player. And yeah, the bench boost is what we're going to call it because yeah, he's a very good bench. When we saw the line-up and gone, let's have a look at the bench, bloody hell, a lot of options for Kieran McKenna. It's options and it's variety as well. And Alex mentioned it. We're talking about players in the same position but offering different skill sets. And I think that's really important because the championship offers up so many different types of tests.

41:37Stuart Watson:Some teams want to go toe-to-toe and play football. Some go man-to-man with their marking. Some are counter-attacking sides. Some are deep blocks. And you have to find different solutions. And Kieran McKenna is pretty good at that, as we've seen. But sometimes you need some... So I think rotation will come into it at times. I think you'll see Nunez and Kuyusta maybe rotated part of that will be through Cuyustas kind of managing his fitness but there'll be other times where there's just different different things needed for different games and the bench was was huge wasn't it in that championship promotion season how many games were super tight and you'd get to 70 minutes and McKenna would make a three four attacking changes at the top end of the pitch and it would just overwhelm a tiring opposition whether that was you know that was Jackson and harness and players like that that came on and were always ready when called upon.

42:31Stuart Watson:And it's going to be important that some of these players are ready to play that role. And that's why I think Kieran McKenna was so delighted with Jack Clark's impact, because he didn't come to this football club to be a super sub. No one likes that tag. But if that's to be his role, it will be a really important one. Yeah, I'm sure different games, he may have a look and go, as you said, if he feels like that team is better for that player, then I'm sure he'll do that. So, yeah, very good options for Kieran McKenna. Let's hear from Kieran once again on the game as a whole, and then I'll go back to you boys to speak about any other business in the game, anything else you want to sort of talk about.

43:07But here's Kieran McKenna on the win. Yeah, good night for us. Lots of things went how you would want them to go. Good night for the group. Good night for the supporters. It's always important to get that first. Victory took a little bit longer, but we've spoken plenty about what the type of summer has been. Tonight honestly felt like the first game for the group now. So a good start. Still loads to work on, loads that we can do better, but a good game to come through.

43:33Stuart Watson:I was going to say, I think you said that the press conference yesterday were not going to be anywhere near our match potential yet. If that's the early stages of this process, that's quite exciting for everyone, isn't it? Yeah, it is. There's some good signs there, but let's not forget that was a really tough game. The first half was really tough. I've got a lot of respect for Ruben he sets his teams up to press really well I've faced them in a couple of different competitions their pressure in the first half was really, really good it was really difficult to break the pressure and to get out and we had to battle really hard there was a lot of duels, a lot of man-to-man so it was a really tough game of course we got our rewards in the end and that was important because we needed to feel as a team that if teams come here and want to press us high and make it difficult for us in that way then we need to feel that our football will win through and our individual talent and the top end of the pitch can hurt teams.

44:27So it was good to come through that type of game tonight but every game is different. That challenge of that tonight was tough. It's a completely different challenge to what Darby or Preston posed in the games before. We know we're going to be stretched and challenged in every single game this season. Nothing is going to be given to us. It certainly wasn't tonight. We had to work really, really hard for it. and it was a good one to get through but everyone's feet are very much on the floor. The players felt that that was a really tough game in the first half and to get the rewards that we got in the second half we needed to do a lot of things well and show a lot of resilience and a lot of strength.

45:02It's a good one to come through but it's one game and we know that it starts all over again next week and going to Blackburn next week is going to be really difficult. Yeah, don't get too high with the highs, don't get too low with the lows as they say. Other sort of positive from this game, clean sheet boys. Ring the claxon, Alex Palmer finally gets an Ipswich Town clean sheet. He got one in pre-season, but in a competitive fixture, he finally got a clean sheet, Stu.

45:29Stuart Watson:So, yeah, hadn't really dawned on me that it would be his first competitive clean sheet for Ipswich Town. We've gone through a load of individuals. There's probably the boys at the back maybe go under the radar a little bit. But as I said earlier on, I thought Leif Davis looked back to being far more effective. Loads of crosses and key passes in this match. They got him into the areas that he operates in. Jacob Greaves, I thought, was excellent. You know, got his head on everything, but he had some nice marauding runs as well. He sort of was getting involved with the attack, wasn't he? Certainly when Ipswich were on top in the second half and having a bit of fun.

46:02Stuart Watson:How many times I looked up and thought, he's well over the halfway line here, Jacob Greaves. So, yeah, when you win 5-0 and it's like that, you can go through pretty much the whole team, can't you? yeah we won't do that but um but yeah good team performance aj and uh yeah that would have been a bit of a disappointment in the end if sheffield and i'd scored a go out of nowhere just to you know it wouldn't matter but just nice that clean sheet just a bit of positivity confidence for the back line yeah and they deserve it because i think they've started look there's been some shaky moments at the back but i think the defense has not been an issue for it so it has it they've not really been tested that that much that kind of intensely in the championship it's been the attack that needs to gel.

46:43So getting the rewards for that has been really positive. I want to quickly mention George Hurst. I know we weren't going to mention the whole team, but come on, he scored a goal and got an assist. He deserves a mention. Been a tough old time since missing that penalty at Bromley. I think his comments that were picked up after the Birmingham game probably didn't help. That's what I do with a couple of poor misses and poor performances. Derby, everything cannoned off him. He was really poor. I thought he battled really hard against Sheffield United on Friday night, then gets the assists, which was kind of a good hold-up play to play the ball forward for Philogene for the second goal, and then a goal for himself, which, as we've said, probably quite fortuitous, but look, they all count, don't they?

47:27So yeah, deserves credit for that. And the other thing I'll quickly mention as well, Kieran McKenna's a gentleman, isn't he? So the praise for Ruben Sayers, who I think he knew deep down was not going to be Sheffield United manager by the end of the weekend. They were I mean, look, the first half competitive, the second half, they were atrocious. And I think that we can sit here and wax lyrical about Ipswich, and we should. And that should absolutely be the 100 % focus. But there has to be the caveat with this was a really poor Sheffield United side as well. So that's what it comes into as well.

48:03Not too high, not too low. Yes, an incredible performance from Ipswich, and they deserve all the praise for the way that they played. but they're going to face some much harder tests than the one they faced on Friday night. Yeah, trip to Lancashire next up, Stu. I won't get too much into that. But five games in, you know, we only lost one game. Obviously, three draws, one win. How do you sort of reflect on the opening five games?

48:32Stuart Watson:Yeah, even before this game, my glass was half full. I kind of looked at Birmingham away was arguably one of, if not the toughest opening day fixture that Ipswich could have been handed while the squad was still very much in a state of flux. There's no doubt that everything going on behind the scenes during the transfer window would have been disruptive to McKenna and to the squad. So to come through that with a late goal, I think, had to be taken as a positive. I thought the Southampton performance was good and, could have should have won that on another day um Preston was just one of those one of those days where you know it was the poor penalty that they gave away and then once you give the opposition something to defend that that was a frustrating day but I always felt like this this team this squad would come good under under Kieran McKenna the slight niggling doubt was how long it would take and whether we'd get into the realms of kind of early the early days of demolition man under paul cook that sort of five games becomes ten games and then all of a sudden everyone gets a bit bit anxious and nervy and you're chasing your tail a little bit too much so to nip all of that in the bud with a performance and a win like this i think is is really important um and yeah i'm the same as everybody else it's a it's unsettling when so many players that we've we've grown to to really love and trust have all gone um and it's into the unknown isn't it at the moment that's that's that's nervy but it's also really exciting as well and I think we have to remind ourselves of this is a power-packed squad at championship level and um I'm looking forward to seeing them grow together.

50:24Yeah, me too. AJ, yeah. I was just going to say, I think there's a lot that comes into comparisons here as well, especially because it's such a title favourite. And there's always a risk, and we were all very much aware of this, that you start poorly, you lose your opening batch of games or drop points or whatever, and you can find yourself with a mountain to climb. And you look at the championship this year, they've got the same points return as Southampton. And I don't think we've seen Southampton in the same kind of – and it's the same form as well. It's 1-1, drawn three, lost one. You look at the weekend, for example, and they've drawn to Portsmouth.

51:05We've had Leicester that drew against Oxford away. Middlesbrough, top of the league, were held at Preston. You can go through and you can pick quite a few. commentary have to score a last last minute equaliser against norwich so there's no kind of signs where you're thinking these are these are going to be a problem this is going to be an issue with kind of having to play catch up birmingham for example lost over the weekends as well there's teams that are going to find problems throughout this season throughout the start we said it at the start of the season as well where you look at the other teams who might have those kind of wobbles it's not just going to be ipswich so if ipswich can stabilise now we can kick on in the coming weeks then while other teams are still also finding their feet you can't ignore that that's where you can then start to climb the table and you don't want to look at it too much early doors of course if i said to you guys where are it switching the table now i don't think you'd be able to tell me and that's the right thing but that's where kind of these points differences can change because you know five points six points seven points can easily then become you're chasing 10 points, 20 points, whatever.

52:11Being able to kind of keep those gaps short, no matter whether it's the start or the end, and we've seen this with other teams as well, who found it difficult to make up the gaps, or we've spoken about Leeds, for example, who had a poor start a couple of seasons ago, but ended up with 90 plus points. Totally doable, totally fine, and I think it offers some good perspective. My guess is 14th place. What's yours, Stu?

52:36Stuart Watson:I believe it is 14th, because I looked up the starting but yeah we were talking about it before we started recording results wise a lot of draws across the division this weekend which I guess is good from an Ipswich point of view it's far too early draws 10 games in is when the table really starts to take shape but not from a points perspective I just think from a general feel good factor just to settle everybody down a little bit that was important do you want a quick quiz? hat trick quiz Alex turned to me and said I don't think I've ever covered a hat trick after the game at the weekend I've had a little look back there has been this is the 13th Ipswich Town hat trick this is from the excellent Pride of Anglia website this century the first of which is a pretty iconic one how many of them can you name Ross don't get me drawn in on this would you have been at the Chaplin?

53:38No, it was Lee 1-1.

53:40Stuart Watson:I've not seen a single one. That was the last one. Connor Chaplin versus Charlton, 6-0. Lee Evans. That was the one before. Domcaster, 6-0 at Portman Road. Grant Ward, debut hat-trick. You're going back in order. That's the next one. Darrell Murphy. Rotherham, away, 5-2. I know Connor Wickham scored one against Don Conn. Yes. Yeah, you've got them bang in order so far. That was 2011, February. I know Alan Lee got one against Luton once upon a time. Oh, yes, you've got that as well. That was a 5-0 win against Luton in the Championship 2006. You've skipped one. Is that John Walters? Correct. Against?

54:30Was it against Sheffield United? Nope. Oh. I swear I was against Sheffield United. Bristol City. Ah, Bristol City, of course it was.

54:39Stuart Watson:2007. Oh, okay. Now the hatchet. Pablo Canago scored one in the UEFA Cup, didn't he? Yes. Remember the team? Avenir Beggin. Correct. 8-1 in 2002. Yeah. Magilton would have, obviously, the Magilton won at Bolton. Against Bolton, sorry, in the playoffs would have been one. We've got three left. Alex Maffey, obviously Norwich. That was 90. That was 98, wasn't it? I think so. Yeah, pre-2000. So I've got two more, have I? Three more. Three more. Oh, bloody hell. Who would have scored a hat-trick? Who would have scored a hat-trick? Clues on those. A few people shouting, I'm sure. One in the Premier League.

55:25Stuart Watson:Oh, Marcus Stewart, Southampton. Correct. Homegrown player. Two homegrown players. Oh, God. Oh, Dee Bodic. Yeah, 2004. Youngest Hatchrick goalscorer. Same season. Darren Bent, man.
