Big relief to pull that one out of the bag. Difference for me was Larin coming on, he gave their centre backs much more of a problem than Stewart did. Thought Jander had a great game.
As predicted, Derby very physical, seemed to have been knocked out of out stride as a result. Larin on for Stewart for me, he's not put any physical pressure on their centre backs at all.
I think this Ipswich side are nowhere near as good as the team that went up automatically last time round. There is a chance, albeit a small one for us to grab that second spot.
Really difficult pick. And to think none of our players or indeed manger are nominated for any awards. For me, its between Scienza and Peretz. I'd be inclined to give it to Peretz, the difference he has made to the defence is incredible.
I can see this being a little like the Norwich game. By all accounts they are a physical team and as we know we sometimes struggle against those types. But I think we should have enough to get over the line.
That's some going. I actually thought we would get rid of him after the Hull game. Either it was a case of SR doubling down or they knew he was the right guy, it was inspired.
It felt like a gamble bringing him back in, but he's made a massive difference to the way we play. Not sure about him should we go up, but that's a problem for another day.
