4:58pm
All over. Desperately disappointing. Match report up soon.
4:50pm
Chopra got clear there, Bogdan denied him one on one.
4:50pm
Bradley Orr with volley from edge of the box - Bogdan spilled it, and Chopra drilled his shot into roof of the net. Four mins added time to play.
4:48pm
GOAL! Ipswich.
4:46pm
Butterfield goes close with an off-balance effort from edge of the box.
4:44pm
Martin has a snap shot saved by Bogdan. Almost stiole it there.
4:42pm
Eight mins left and neither side looking likely to snatch a winner for me.
4:35pm
Butterfield on for Andrews now.
4:32pm
Wanderers need to compose themselves now. Can't let this turn into a defeat.
4:30pm
Afobe on for SKD.
4:30pm
Completely out of the blue, but think the penalty was fair. Mears also booked, which means he misses next game.
4:28pm
GOAL! Penalty slotted away by Campbell
4:27pm
Penalty to Ipswich. Mears foul on Murphy
4:25pm
Chungy has looked busy since coming on.
4:21pm
Bringing Eagles off! Interesting move.
4:21pm
Chung-Yong coming off the bench imminently
4:20pm
Attendance today 17,208
4:19pm
Moans and groans getting more audible now. Shame, because Wanderers are still controlling this game.
4:17pm
Fans getting a little restless too. Football isn't flowing as well as it did in the first 15 minutes.
4:16pm
Just hope the few missed chances don't come back to bite Wanderers in the bum at the moment. Much the better side - but McCarthy has changed things by throwing on front men Thomas and Murphy.
4:11pm
SKD header saved by Henderson after Andrews and Eagles had between them managed to chip a cross into the six yard box.
4:08pm
Could have been 2-0 there as Kevin Davies snapped a volley at goal. Mark Davies with the cross from the left.
4:06pm
Fairly sedate stuff at the start of the half. Alonso has just swung a cross in without much end result.
4:03pm
And there we go, three mins later, here are Wanderers!
4:01pm
Ipswich back out. Freedman likes to keep them waiting.
4:00pm
Have just spotted Hastings Town as a potential third round tie... just so long as they don't make it a Friday night on ESPN!

Dont think itll be up in Cumbria now - Carlisle 2 down at home !
Come on Trotters - lets have another !
3:47pm
Half time. 1-0 and relatively comfortable for the Whites. Not a classic by any means yet, but a warm round of applause from the fans as the players depart. Just about the only warm thing this afternoon, in fact.
3:46pm
Well I say run... more like a slow, awkward jog.
3:46pm
One minute added time before I can run back downstairs and get a hot cuppa.
3:43pm
Wanderers make a quick break - Eagles goes for goal instead of playing the ball inside for Kevin Davies. Wrong decision.
3:41pm
Eagles plays a great ball in to Ngog, but the Frenchman just doesn't control it in time before Orr nipped in to challenge.
3:41pm
Four players - Knight, Mears, SKD and Pratley - all one booking away from suspension.
3:38pm
Eight mins to go this half and Wanderers have largely been in control. Tempo has slowed a lot since the early exchanges, though, and that suits Ipswich.
3:32pm
Clever free kick from Ipswich - Martin ends up hammering a shot beaten out by Bogdan. Edwards follows up but blasts over the top.
3:30pm
Ngog flagged offside rather dubiously there - great ball from Spearing, who picked the Frenchman out perfectly. Chambers appeared to have played him onside.
3:29pm
Not a massive number of Ipswich fans have made the trip - around 500 - and I'd (generously) estimate about 16,000 Wanderers.
3:26pm
Eagles tries a speculative volley. On target but didn't worry Henderson.
3:24pm
Early momentum has faded a little bit now for the Whites but they are still enjoying the majority of possession.
3:18pm
Alonso delivers a great pull back from Eagles' free kick forcing a panicked clearance from Barnett.
3:17pm
Andrews wins the ball in midfield, plays a ball through for Ngog. He picks out SKD in the middle but with Eagles going for the same ball, his effort goes off target.
3:13pm
Plenty of potential cup destinations - but it's going quite well here at the Reebok right now.

3:11pm
Looks like 4-4-2 from here - Mark Davies playing wide left.
3:10pm
Great start for Wanderers. They have been playing the ball about well so far. Ngog and SKD playing as a front two at the minute.
3:08pm
Marcos Alonso strikes one that gets a deflection and just goes wide.
3:07pm
Mark Davies with a brilliant strike! He exchanged passes with Spearing before hitting a sweet right footed effort that looped over Henderson and into the back of the net.
3:05pm
GOAL! Mark Davies
3:05pm
Andrews has one tipped over the bar after a quick break.
3:00pm
Players have been introduced on to the pitch - nearly time for the off.
2:58pm
@MarcIles Fleetwood at the Reebok (if they beat Aldershot)...

By the end of this season I'll be on 84 grounds of the current 92, so AFC Wimbledon, Coventry, Bournemouth, Swansea, Burton, Plymouth, Rotherham or Gillingham would do me down to the ground too.

Fab Muamba will be one of the people doing the FA Cup third round draw tomorrow. Hopes he pulls out Real Mallorca away... Brrr

2:47pm
@MarcIles whats up with Warnock? Alonso never convinces me
— @valderee53 01 December 2012
2:18pm
@MarcIles Is rotating something he did a lot at Palace? Bit baffled to be honest given Wednesday was our best performance this season.
— @Big_Sharps 01 December 2012
2:17pm
@MarcIles is Marvin Sordell injured? Seems a silly decision to go with 2 CBs on the bench and only Afobe as an attacking option. #BWFC
— @asimms37 01 December 2012
2:15pm
So that's three changes for Wanderers - Warnock out of the squad entirely and Chung-Yong/Butterfield dropped to the bench.
2:14pm
Ipswich Town: Henderson, Cresswell, Chambers, Campbell, Edwards, N'Daw, Martin, Drury, Smith, Orr, Barnett
Subs: Loach, Hewitt, Higginbotham, Emmanuel-Thomas, Chopra, Carson, Murphy
2:13pm
BWFC Subs: Lonergan, Mills, Ream, Pratley, Afobe, Chung-Yong, Butterfield
2:10pm
Tinkerman strikes again!
2:09pm
Team: Bogdan, Mears, Ricketts, Knight, Alonso, Spearing, Andrews, Eagles, M Davies, Ngog, K Davies
2:08pm
Wrap up warm if you are even considering visiting the Reebok today. It's about minus five and getting colder.
1:46pm
That means Freedman could potentially go joint second in that list, with Bill Ridding - also the only man to do that in the top flight!
1:45pm
Points earned by post-war Bolton Wanderers managers (after seven games): Allardyce 14, Greaves 14, Ridding 13, Armfield 12, Rowley 12, Lofthouse 11, Rioch 10.
1:28pm
Dougie Freedman is currently the only post-war Wandereres manager to have avoided defeat in his first six games.
1:27pm
Good afternoon from the Reebok/Ice Station Zebra - want to hear a stat?
