Ipswich Town: Fans' thoughts on Ali Al-Hamadi's debut

The forward came off the bench in the final 10 minutes to become the first Iraqi to play in the second tier and produced a promising cameo, after signing from AFC Wimbledon. 

Al-Hamadi was lively and saw a couple of close-range efforts saved by keeper Freddie Woodman, with one leading to Town's second goal when Kieffer Moore forced the ball in.

Here's what Town fans had to say about his first appearance for the club...

 

Looked solid when he came on , can see the talent in him for sure

Looks like after a bit of shaping this week he’s going to be class

ten mins is hardly time to warm your cockles but he was buzzing and looking hungry! Can’t wait for him to get going!

Bright, energetic and busy. A perfect fit for the team. Just what we needed and can’t wait to see him get more minutes

He played well - making runs, closing down and can see a partnership with Moore developing already.

If his cameo is anything to go by we've got a player on our hands, well done Ali!

Think he's going to be some player for us. Will cause havoc off the bench against tiring defences.

Kieffer was the star yesterday, but this man looked so strong, quick and ready for the battle yesterday. Brilliant sub appearance. Going to be a special player, no doubt. #ITFC #AlHamadi https://t.co/25vQKG4fiM
