    Time:90'
    • West Bromwich
    • Ipswich
    • 90' Full-time at The Hawthorns. Keane still winless as Ipswich boss and WBA maintain their impressive early form.
    • 90' Quinn sums up Ipswich's day, send a free-kick sailing way over the bar.
    • 90' WBA go for a third and it's Moore v Wright again, once more the keeper comes out on top, saving at the striker's feet.
    • 90' There is going to be three minutes of added time.
    • 89' Mulumbu plays a terrific ball to Thomas on the flank, but the wide man's cross is poor.
    • 86' Little bit of handbags from Walters, who needlessly brings down Martis. Ref takes no action though.
    • 84' Koren is replaced by Valero, WBA's record signing.
    • 81' The game is fizzling out a little now, WBA had a chance to seal the points with that penalty but Ipswich just can't create anything.
    • 77' It was a stonewall pen, Smith bringing down Cummings on the edge of the area, no doubt. Moore's pen was straight down the middle and saved by Wright's trailing leg.
    • 76' Change for WBA. Beattie on for Mattock, who looks like he has picked up an injury.
    • 75' Would you beleive it! Wright again! The Ipswich goalkeeper makes a save from Moore's penalty.
    • 74' PENALTY to WBA!
    • 73' Colback robs Mulumbu and advances towards the WBA area, but the Ipswich man has too mnay touches and his shot is easily blocked.
    • 71' Keane makes his final change, Priskin on for Wickham.
    • 68' It's battle of the England also-rans at the moment, now it's Carson's turn, Balkestein fires at goal from 12 yards, but the WBA stopper is equal to it. Corner.
    • 67' Wright saves AGAIN! This time from the substitute, Jerome Thomas who shot from eight yards is pushed away by the former England man.
    • 64' Frequent shots to the bench show a brooding Roy Keane, I wouldn't like to be in the Ipswich dressing room at the end of this.
    • 62' Terrific effort from Walters, the Ipswich man lets fly from 30 yards but Carson is equal to it and pushes the ball round the post.
    • 59' WBA seem to have weathered the Ipswich storm and are playing their way back into this second-half.
    • 56' Wright forced into another save from Moore, this time down low to his right at the near post.
    • 54' Thomas replaces Brunt. Like for like.
    • 53' WBA are playing with 10 men at the moment, Brunt has been forced off with an injury.
    • 51' The Tractor Boys are much more threatening this half, getting it wide and firing in some dangerous crosses.
    • 49' Great chance for Ipswich, Alan Quinn fires straight at Carson from six yards. Should be 2-1!
    • 48' Some decent pressure from Ipswich, looks like they might have had a rocket from Keane at half-time.
    • 26' Keane has rung the changes at half-time. Stead and Garvan come off for Colback and Quinn.
    • 46' The second-half starts at The Hawthorns.
    • 45' The ref blows for half-time. Ipswich might need a miracle to get back into this.
    • 44' Richard Wright is keeping Ipswich in this, another great save, this time from Wood.
    • 42' Ipswich haven't been that bad, it's just they can't cope with WBA, they have been a cut above.
    • 38' FANTASTIC GOAL FROM WBA! A lovely move sees Koren with the ball six-yards out, he rounds Wright and fires into the top corner.
    • 37' Martin turns brilliantly but then fires a terrible shot into row z from 20 yards. Ipswich are really missing a front man.
    • 36' Keane cannot fault his team's effort, but West Brom are looking much the better side at the moment.
    • 33' Turns out Koren was offside, but Wright wasn't to know, brilliant goalkeeping.
    • 32' Magnificent double save from Wright! WBA break and Moore fires from 20 yards, Wright parries and then saves the follow up from Koren.
    • 30' Ipswich having a good spell here, finally some consistent pressure from Keane's men.
    • 29' Free-kick touched to Wickham, the striker can only fire against the wall from 25 yards. Deflected for a corner.
    • 26' WBA are playing some nice stuff but Ipswich look dangerous on the counter.
    • 23' Martin shoots wide from 25 yards, the midfield man will be disappointed with that.
    • 21' Straight down the other end Martin releases Wickham, but the youngster can only shoot tamely at Carson. Really good chance that.
    • 19' Good chance for WBA, Moore lays off Brunt who forces a save from Richard Wright.
    • 18' Ipswich are having trouble building any sort of move, Mulumbu is having a cracker of a game for WBA, breaking everything up.
    • 15' West Brom have taken full control of this match, they are bossing possession at the moment.
    • 12' Good response to the goal from Ipswich. They hit back immediately with a corner and have a header cleared off the line.
    • 10' GOAL for WBA! Mulumbu cracks a 25 yard grass-cutter through a crowded box past Wright.
    • 9' Fantastic move from WBA, Cummings cross is cleared for a corner.
    • 8' Connor Wickham is making only his second appearance for Ipswich today, at only 16 years of age.
    • 6' Good early tempo to the game here, both teams playing open, passing football.
    • 4' Wright makes a terrific save from a Koren header, eight yards out.
    • 3' Luke Moore breaks down the right flank for WBA and earns a corner.

  3. For the last two years we gave Jim Magilton chance­ after chance, and prevoius years we were no where near­ good enough for the premier leauge, at least Roy Keane­ has some backbone, and of course backing from the­ board. I say let him build the squad, and who knows he­ may have Bobby watching over him, and if he does get us­ up this season great.

    From Gerry S, on Sun 23 Aug 9:53AM
