‘We’ve got more fans than you’ is the song from the Bucks fans. Not far wrong today, in fairness...

Richardson has to be alert to push away a dangerous Burns cross as the Blues winger again causes problems. He’s going to be one Buxton will have to shut down a bit if they’re to keep the hosts at bay.

0-0

First moment of promise from the Bucks as a mistake at the back allows Sam Osborne to nip in ahead of keeper Walton and cross for Sean Newton whose header is then saved by the home custodian.

0-0

An Ipswich free-kick from out on the left is only partially cleared and Chaplin is again the man to get an effort in on goal but Theo Richardson gets down low to gather his shot. Bright start from the hosts.

0-0

First chance of note for Ipswich as Wes Burns’ cross is headed wide by Conor Chaplin.

0-0

Bucks line up with five across the back, four in midfield and Jack McKay as the lone front man, though that will no doubt be pretty fluid.

Pics to follow later

We should have some action photos for you at half-time and after the game. We’ve had a few photographer issues due to illness today but the folks at Ipswich have been fantastic and have said they’ll supply us with some images.

If any Bucks fans also want to e-mail pics from their day through to me at [email protected] then fill yer boots...

Atmosphere is building here, the Bucks fans are in good voice and the teams will be out shortly.
