Ipswich for me are the interesting team in the championship so far for me. I had a look through their results and us and Sunderland are the only teams above 12th placed Cardiff that they have played. By contrast we have played 4 away games to teams all in the top 10. They definitely seem to play a style opposite to us with them usually having less possession than the opposition but creating more chances. When we played them they actually had more possession than us so I think Farke deserves a lot of praise as he probably changed our approach so we were faster to get the ball forward to hurt them rather than our cat and mouse possession game.
I think Ipswich when they played us got very arrogant, they were a goal up and probably should have simply shut up shop and looked to hit us on the break. Instead they probably thought we were there for the taking and they came unstuck. They probably believed their own hype after having gone 20+ matches unbeaten. It will be interesting to see how they do when they play more of the teams in form (when they played Sunderland it was the first match of the season and it sounds like Sunderland were unlucky not to get a point as they hit the post in injury time).
