Ipswich 1 Brighton 2
IT was another thoroughly depressing afternoon for the followers of Ipswich Town.
Their run without a win was stretched to seven games as Brighton kept their hopes alive of staying in the Championship for two more days at least.
Everybody at Portman Road was hoping for a stylish Easter show from the Blues, but they rarely threatened a goal, and at the back look insecure.
The midfield started off brightly enough, but were second best to lowly Brighton, in another bad day for the Blues.
