It was sad to read that Jack Dash had died on his way home from the Ipswich v Blackpool game.
Jack, who was nearly 91, had been a fixture in H2 area of the Britannia Stand for as long as I can remember. At least he saw his beloved Ipswich put on probably their best home performance of the season so far. The scoreline of 3 – 1 could so easily have been 7-1. Ipswich are now looking a difficult side to beat. On Saturday they defended from the front. The two front men Jon Stead and Jon Walters worked tirelessly. They were on their toes all the time which made such a difference. The midfield of Owen Garvin, Grant Leadbetter,Jack Colback and Jamie Peters were excellent showing plenty of bite and winning the midfield battle. The defence is picking itself these days. Liam Rosenior, Gareth McAuley, Damien Delaney and David Wright have a good understanding of where the other is. Arran Lee-Barrett in goal has been well protected. Jon Walters and Grant Leadbetter will be missing for the trip to Scunthorpe through suspension. Perhaps Liam Trotter will come into the side to play against the club that wanted to sign him. If Ipswich continue to show the same committment and work rate they will gradually climb the table. Jack Dash can rest in peace.
