Re: Vs Ipswich thread.

Even the arrival of BBC Footie Focus & the loss of half our loan players couldn't spoil Stanley's party today.
In stepped our reserves to show our illustrious Championship visitors how to win an FA Cup match.
There was really no need for any pre-match nerves. We outplayed Ipswich for 45 minutes & should have lead by the break.
The tractor boys must have had the hairdryer from Paul Lambert at half time as they were out a full 5 minutes before the 2nd half kicked-off.
They began to dominate possession & came close to scoring on 2 or 3 occasions but thanks to some excellent defending & woeful finishing never quite managed it.
A truly outstanding performance for our boys to withstand the pressure & then deliver the killer blow.
Sykes deserved his m.o.m. award & Big Ben a medal for rising above everyone to deliver the perfect header onto Billy Kee's noggin.
What a difference a win makes.
Our cup runneth over!
