Ipswich score first Premier League point in BATTLING draw!

Coming Up Liam the absolutely brilliant TR who stuck at him right fo first time there was a lot to like about that performance from HRI [Music] Town well how about this everybody for Intro the first time ever on the Benjamin Bloom football channel I get to Vlog my team ipswitch as a Premier League club it's ipswitch toown versus Fulham today I couldn't get to the opening day game against Liverpool which means the last Premier League game I saw at Portman Road was in 2002 a 1- nil defeat to Manchester United and yes rud van nistroy did die for a penalty that day not that I'm bitter yes a lot of today will just be me getting excited about finally seeing my team playing in the Premier League once again but there is a job at hand today for IPs as they've lost their opening two fixtures back in the big league now look obviously having played against Liverpool and Manchester City so far this is IPS Rich's easiest game back in the Premier League so a lot of town fans are looking at this as the opportunity to get off the mark but it's not going to be easy Fulham have been pretty impressive since they've been back up the big hope for all IPS fans is that Liverpool and Manchester City in the opening two games was just mere preparation for an actual winnable game here against Fulham and IP can get the first three points the Doomsday scenario is even teams from the middle of the table like Fulham are going to be to good forp Swit this year and it's going to be another defeat the final two subplots to mention before we hit the road are it was transferred deadline day yesterday and IPS reach didn't sign the striker that everyone thinks they need and it's International break after this and you don't want to go in with zero points so let's do this it's down the A4 we go it's ipswitch versus Fulham in the Premier League for the first time ever on this channel On The Road [Music] we have touched down safe and sound in IPS after the drive down the A14 going to head down to Port mon road we should have some team news for you when we get down there and my first chance to have a look and see what's been done in terms of Stadium improvements since promotion last time I was here Pre-Match we are into beautiful Portman Road it looks a bit of the building sight I have to say but everything coming on nicely by the look of things now regular Watchers of the channel will know I was sat beautifully hanging over the halfway line in the Upper West stand well thank you to the media requirements my seat is now the Press Box and I'm about to check out my new season ticket for the first time well that's where my old seat was let's go and find the new one okay not what it once was was it a little bit further from the halfway line but a little bit closer to the noisy North Stand end and look if you told me I had to sacrifice my seat in return for a double promotion I would absolutely have done it every day of the week right Team News we have team news and very much reflecting that I are building a new team after such a busy transfer window there are six players I've never seen play in a town shirt before let me get this right Mich in Greaves in Calvin Phillips makes his home debut here in anich town shirt smodic in or Ben in and DAP in can they gel before we go for two weeks training over the international break just an idea of what if f are up against this season full of a team essentially from the middle of the table just completely laced with quality Leno in gold is such a good operator at this level mun is goals up front Smith row big new Sig in from Arsenal and for those who've watched this channel for a long while look at the size of that man a dmer trayor and all that he brings down the right hand side it's a fearsome task W here come the players definitely loud in here Premier League football back of road follow here we First Half go 10 gone here nil nil best chance of the game going to Fen when TR frankly walk past Le Davis Tess has the shot blocked Brees with the head of rip swi otherwise my first impressions of Premier League football are that all the players are either technically very good physically very good or GOAL: 1-0 (Delap) both wow what a goal Ro blown off Liam the absolutely brilliant strike carries the ball right down the pitch after David picks it up moves out right he absolutely smashes it Leno gets a hand he can't do anything about it 15 [Applause] gone Midway through the first half P F Well actually since the goal the only chance falling to town Waring them from the set play in then keeping their pressing up keeping the energy you like in the first game can they get the second half hour up now full of them just having their best spell of the game tror heavily heavily involved if's doing a lot of Defending now but still lead one GOAL: 1-1 (Traore) [Applause] nil and there is The Equalizer just as I said Fulham we're getting into Robinson down the left really they should have stopped the cross it goes in line I think it's treor who stuck it in right footed first time one one oh could have been 21 tror again put the Crossing munz with the header he's probably only six yards out a good save by m but IPS really need to weather this fullam all over them five to Half Time 111 Calin Phillips is sharing his class for the first time picking out o Ben good save Leno smic smashed the rebound over the B fortunately for him he was off Half-Time Thoughts [Applause] side halim then Ipswich won full one scores even Fulham probably edged it on the balance of chances on the balance of Play Pretty even game as I say it's just taking the lead through that dap goal and then pushing on a little bit fulam getting into their groove and scoring and it could have gone to one Fulham in that spare lips going to have to do a lot of defending this season and Fulham and all these Premier League teams they have such control and such Poise and such class and put you under pressure for minute after minute after minute something of I've got to get used to as a fan and some players have very much got to get used to um if it goes down to the benches maybe Fulham have the edge there especially given the amount of new players in at IP if you gave me one one now I would take it but we'll see what happens in the second half if just one full in Second Half one well we're at the hour mark we really good 10 minutes from ifs R the lap spinning shot good save L Davis free pit defended for their lives if well on top but they didn't score fullam just starting to come back into this now a couple of really big blocks the first one from greef from Smith Ro shot the next corner I didn't see who it was but another big block in there we're coming up 66 minutes and surely both managers going to the bench pretty soon one1 last throw of the dice from K McKenna with nine to go Jack Clark in for his debut very exciting Ali alhamd is on up top which maybe illustrates 's striking issues without George Hurst at the moment 1 oh two minutes to go Jack Clark with his signature move there in off the left bit right foot just around the post couple of minutes before R gimenez who's on big breakway there it's managed to get it clear quite unconvincingly I've got to say triple sub from full and Conor Chaps in for IPs now as we head to stoppage time 1 one oh is some big chance it's night3 on the clock coms in on the left it's it left foot it's a really good save by Len is pushing for a late late winner [Applause] 111 there you go if switch one full and Full-Time Thoughts one and let me be very honest with you I'm coming out of Portman road today walking back to the car really happy there was a lot to like about that performance from itri toown and to be competitive against a good Premier League side that have been comfortably you know competing in the middle of the table for the past couple of Seasons since promotion is very very very encouraging um obviously look elephant in the room the worst case scenario for me was we turn up a port road today and get obliterated by a side that's in the middle of the table most seasons and we realize this is going to be a long year and we're not going to take points from the teams in the middle of the tables and we're going to be sluming it hoping it's a four or a five rather than a bottom three getting isolated but on the basis of today if Tak can keep it up really really encouraging look it's a tight game it ebbed and it flowed um there were moments when it were on top there were moments when Fulham were on top at half time at 1 one I'm saying you know tight game Fulham probably eded it on the basis of chances but and I'd love Fulham fans to get in the comments and tell me if you're at the game I suspect Fulham fans getting back in their cars now and going on the train back to um lovely West London are going to be pretty pleased to get out of there with a point given how iots came strong at the end of the game and a big save from Leno right at the death and Jack Clark putting one pass the post IP could well have won that game um the bigger picture for town really you look at some I like Fulham such a settled team over three seasons with um Marco Silva look obviously they've developed from that stunning championship team with um MIT Ric and Wilson leading the way but such quality throughout the squad and when you look um even on the bench and they're bringing in Harry Wilson with minutes to go and N have just signed Jack Clark who's kind of the Harry Wilson of the championship last season and Fulham can just put their version of him on 5 minutes from the end so that's the level but I don't want to be repeating that all season we know the level that it you've got to get up to but as I said pregame six players new to me I was looking down at the Players warming up and literally having to check oh who's that I haven't seen him yet so so much good will be done to take a Point going into International break two weeks training now and I think we'll see the patterns of play start to form encouraging from Calvin Phillips in the second half you saw a few moments of his class I think miching goal looks a bit short of confidence after last week needs to build on that great for the likes of wolfenden and Sam Mory to have you know good games today at Premier League level and not look out of place and you know there is problems up front until George Hurst gets back but brilliant for Liam dap to get his goal um in terms of Fulham I'm pretty much going to guess they're going to be you know in that middle you know kind of segment of the Premier League table once again and are not going to have any issues with um relegation this season so if that's the case and ifs can be at that level and we're still not just seeing this night honeymoon period at the start of a very energized you know late summer Portman road then honestly I'm encouraged but clip this bit out and play it to me in November if there's a long windless run coming on um really great we're going to pack it up for two weeks now we said this all along didn't we Liverpool Man City can you get something from the Fallen game yes a point another goal and some confidence as well really really pleased right that On The Road is us back to the car chance to have a little reflect have a listen to some of the action and I'll give you my final thoughts in a couple of hours when I get home there we go home safe and sound 10 Closing Thoughts 7 hey not bad especially considering I was dispatched by the misses to grab dinner on the way home too look I've had listen to the radio and the interview with Kira McKenna on the way back everybody seems pretty happy with IPS which one full and one put a couple of tweets out and the response seems really good so real positive I know the Premier League is going to get harder and I won't be arriving home in the light throughout the winter and the games are going to keep coming and the points may come and it may be slower but I think given the opposition given the impending International break I think weps which are right now is pretty good and lots of time as we've said to work with the new players 16th in the table as we speak I know Crystal Palace haven't played yet and they are currently below I toown but come on if we stop the world in 16th Place and fast forward it to may I think everybody will be really really happy right I'm going to go and spend the evening with the misss I hope you've enjoyed the Vlog get involved in the comments if you're an fan your thoughts Fulham fan any type of fan what are you thinking TS which his first three games back in the premier Premier League I for one and pretty happy
