Jonathan Kodjia’s opening header would not prove to be the winner on Saturday. Via goalkeeper error, the Tractor Boys of Ipswich Town drew with Aston Villa at Portman Road 1-1
Playing down to ten men for 60-odd minutes, Ipswich Town somehow managed to keep Aston Villa off the scoreboard. Timid, weak, and awfully sloppy, Steve Bruce’s team dropped a needed two points in league play.
No way around it, this performance was an indictment of Steve Bruce. His appointed No. 1 flailed at a cross, resulting in the equalizer. His appointed centre-back partner for James Chester nearly threw the game away. His wingers struggled producing width while André Green sat on the bench. And finally, his lineup could not control possession against a below-average Championship team with ten men.
Brentford midweek awaits.
