S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Ipswich Town 3 Swansea City 0 | Att: 27,594 | 28/02/26 | The EFL Championship | Portman Road

As others have said you can’t expect Vipotnik to play 90 mins every game with the way Matos wants him to press.

This seems like an obvious one to leave him out of for me, as you’ve got to play him at home and we’re likely to have less possession today than in some other away games.

Not sure you can blame the club for not having anyone else either as we’ve got a £4m-£6m (depending on who you believe) signing out injured.
 
So , we have the leagues top scorer and he's on the bench. It would only be us doing that. It's not as if there's a quality replacement there for him.
It is a strange one, but 3 games in a week is maybe taking its toll. Ipswich have also left their top scorer on the bench, so it’s not only us.
 
I wonder if Ben got a shout from Stamenic, he was stretching and Marko was standing in a far more comfortable position to deal with that
 
We win the ball back in the high press, then within seconds it's back with Vigoroux to launch it up and lose it. Why didn't we just try and create an attack from that situation? Urgh, and then look what happens.
