Although it was far from a Halloween horror show, the home game against Cardiff was a bit of a drab affair, played out in front of our lowest home attendance of 17,169.
There was hardly a 'cauldron like' atmosphere inside Portman Road, the most scary thing was watching Daryl Murphy's complete lack of confidence in front of goal - what a contrast to last season.
It was the second home game on the trot to finish nil- nil and leaves Ipswitch down in fourteenth position. Let's not all over react just yet as we are only six points from the play-off positions. Mick McCarthy will need to come up quickly with a plan to break this recent spell of poor form, starting with the home game on Tuesday night, against fourth from bottom Bolton. The match is then followed up with a trip to Rotherham next Saturday, who are currently propping the league up, so there's a good opportunity to get our season back on track. Failure to do so and I fear a season of mid-table mediocrity!
After the match Sharon and I stayed in town, we had a quick drink in Degeros, before going to Rios Brazil Churrascaria, an all you can eat steakhouse and then onto Christchurch Park for the firework display at eight o'clock. At least we got to see one good display on Halloween, although that wasn't brilliant!
