19 min: Enciso looks for the top-right corner with the free kick. High and wide and not so handsome.
18 min: Enciso bursts into some space down the middle and draws a foul out of Gibbs-White and McAtee, who clip him to the floor in a scissor attack. Free kick, in a central position, 25 yards out.
17 min: Munoz again makes a nuisance of himself down the right. He feeds Gibbs-White, whose cross is claimed by Walton, but only at the second grab. Forest are getting plenty of joy down this flank.
15 min: Delap played his role in that goal as well, winning the first phase of possession, taking down a long pass that gave Munoz something to work with. An absolute belter in the end.
This is a lovely goal. Munoz fights for possession down the right, bouncing off O'Shea. The ball breaks to Gibbs-White, who immediately sends Munoz scampering further down the wing. Munoz, in space, swings long for the in-rushing Williams, who cuts in from the left and meets the ball first time, sweeping it powerfully past Walton, who has no chance! Lovely move.
11 min: Both teams are going for it, despite, or perhaps because of, the wind that's swirling around wildly. It's been good fun so far.
9 min: Fatawu cuts in from the right. He's got Enciso and Emersonn in the middle, but takes on the shot instead, curling viciously towards the top left. But the shot's always heading high and wide.
8 min: Philogene ships possession carelessly in the centre circle, and suddenly Forest are attacking four on two. Gibbs-White feeds Delap down the inside-right channel; the former Ipswich striker enters the box before slicing a poor shot wide right. Forest looking lively.
7 min: Forest win a free kick out on the right. Gibbs-White curls it long. Ndoye wins a header, cushioning down into the path of Cunha, who from the edge of the box pearls a fierce drive towards the top left. Walton parries well. That'll have warmed his palms.
5 min: Philogene drives down the middle of the park. He's heading down a blind alley, but when he loses the ball it fortunately deflects into the path of Enciso, who has a dig from distance. Miles over the bar.
4 min: Munoz hares after a long pass down the right. His cross is calmly dealt with by Diop. Forest first to pretty much everything during these very early exchanges.
2 min: It's windy in Suffolk. Walton batters a clearance upfield as best he can. Forest very much playing with the wind at their back in this first half.
Most everyone takes the knee … there's no room for racism … then Forest get the ball rolling. Or flying. Gibbs-White hoicks it straight out for a goal kick.
The teams are out! Ipswich in blue, Forest in red. A fine Friday-evening post-work, pre-match-pints-fuelled atmosphere at Portman Road. We'll be off in a couple of minutes!
Gary O'Neil talks to Sky. "The team today allows us to get more attacking players on the pitch … we want as many as we can … we need to be really secure with the ball … it will be a test … they are a very direct side … a big test of us … one that we can learn a bit more about ourselves and hopefully come out on top."
Oliver Glasner speaks to Sky Sports: "When we watch our performances … we feel we could have four, five or six points more … we are doing everything that is necessary to get the win … it is really English weather today! … I expect a very intense game … this is what we have to match … Morgan [Gibbs-White] is maybe the key player in our attack … he is unlucky, he could have five, six, seven assists already … he is very important."
Forest start the weekend in 19th place …
… so is it already time to panic? NOT YET! says Niall McVeigh, who leads off this week's 10 Things …
Oliver Glasner … needs to find solutions for the league's lowest scorers
… while it's a resounding NO! from Will Unwin, who counsels patience.
Learning the Glasner way is not straightforward … behind the obvious figures, there is plenty of underlying encouragement for Forest

At last, the 1978 show! That year marking the start of imperial phases for both of these clubs: Ipswich Town won their first and only FA Cup, Nottingham Forest their sole league championship. Within another three years, Town were lifting the Uefa Cup (and really should have won another league title to go with Sir Alf's heroic flash-in-the-pan) by which point Forest were two-time European champions. A pair of genuinely legendary managers, too, in Bobby Robson and Brian Clough. Glory days colliding, banner moments coinciding. Could it all happen again? Well, there's no point anyone pulling on their boots if we're not allowed to dream, so why not? Ipswich can go as high as fifth for the evening, though they'd have to win big, while Forest could catapult themselves into the comfort of mid-table. And after that, a world of possibility stretches out ahead. Bobby and Brian showed us how. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. It's on!
