Kayden Jackson and Alan Judge may have got the headlines in Saturday’s 4-1 home win against Burton Albion with two goals apiece, but Will Keane had a hand in three of the goals. STUART WATSON takes a closer look at the forward’s involvement in the game.
KEY CONTRIBUTIONS
27.02 - BIG CHANCE CREATED: Takes the ball on the half turn midway into the Burton half, following Luke Garbutt's zipped pass, before sliding Kayden Jackson away with a through ball. Jackson rounds the keeper before firing over.
28.19 - HAND IN A GOAL: Luke Woolfenden's long throw is flicked on by Gwion Edwards. Keane takes a touch before sliding a well-weighted pass up the line for Jackson. He crosses for Alan Judge's opener.
44.55 - HAND IN A GOAL: Contests Tomas Holy's long dead ball kick up field with Conor Shaugnessy. Sails over them both allowing Jackson to score.
62.42 - HAND IN A GOAL: There to receive the ball in a pocket of space after Jon Nolan intercepts. Waits before slipping a perfectly weighted pass for the on-running Jackson. He's tackled in the box and Judge scores.
NEAT LINK-UP PLAY
8.20 - Takes Downes' forward pass neatly on halfway. Surrounded by three Burton players, he drives sideways into space then plays a pass out right to Jackson.
18.47 - Wins a tussle to lay-off Edwards' long throw to Judge.
25.42 - Receives the ball just over the halfway line and works it left to Garbutt before carrying on his run into the box.
26.28 - Drops deep to control Garbutt's pass with the bottom of his studs before playing it short to Downes.
33.56 - After Chambers flicks on a corner at the near post he does superbly to pluck the ball out the sky tight to the byline and work it back to Downes.
36.18 - After Jackson wins a header on halfway, he's there to nod the ball left to Judge. The latter's hooked pass over the top sees Jackson scamper away and shoot into the side-netting. A close offside call.
38.30 - Drops to halfway to take a forward pass from Chambers before playing it left to Garbutt.
38.52 - Neat control on edge of the centre circle. The uses his body well to shield the ball from two Burton players before popping it off to Judge. Ball chipped into the channel for Garbutt who subsequently runs into traffic.
52.27 - Finds space to receive the ball inside the centre circle. Turns and plays it back to Chambers.
69.36 - Takes the ball on the edge of the centre circle and shields it well to allow Ipswich to retain possession
CHANCES NOT TAKEN
3.46 - Charges through the middle with his hand raised as Jackson bursts down the left. Controls the square pass with his right foot in the box, but ball pops up allowing Reece Hutchinson to block the shot.
17.12 - Takes the ball with back to goal 25 yards out, works his way away from danger, then turns to size up options. Drags an ambitious long-range shot comfortably wide.
49.59 - Attacks Jackson's low cross at the near post. Attempted Cruyff flick finish is kept out by keeper Ben Garratt's legs.
69.52 - Runs onto Judge's perfect bending low delivery into the box. Close control with his right foot turns him away from goal. Doesn't spot Jackson and Garbutt screaming for the lay-off. Spins and shoots well over.
MIXED DAY IN THE AIR
10.01 - Beaten by Richard Nartey in the air on halfway following Holy's kick.
14.03 - Beaten by Nartey in the air following Holy's longer goalkick
15.13 - Can only help a corner further into danger at the near post. Gwion Edwards heads away.
15.43 - Beats Nartey in the air this time from a Holy goalkick. Jackson races into the box, but a foul is given against him.
18.26 - Contests Woolfenden's long throw up the line. Ball sails over both players.
31.12 - Wins an aerial duel from Holy's long goalkick. Flicked header goes out for a throw.

46.06 - Backs into Shaugnessy to force a mistake. Ipswich press high, but Judge adjudged to have fouled.

52.43 - Seizes on a loose touch by Nartey down the left. Pops it off to Nolan, but Josh Earl is then caught offside.
RARE MOMENTS DISPOSSESSED
