No, but a very tricky fixture navigated succesfully tho! Should have been 3-0 at half time yet again

It's Russ bringing on his "finishers" a la Mckenna

Stu was concussed not JB?

Exactly this. We have so many options on the wings to refresh and scare defences. Get a solid spine THB / Jan / Flynn / Che clicking and we can do some damage.

Scary video! I'd rather make Mccarthy earn his money!

My team, most of whom are Ipswich fans, reckoned he was head and shoulders our best player. He is looking good isn't he.

The only big save I remember is the WBA one the other week. I think net-net he has probably cost more points than he has saved us hasn't he, unfortunately. But, I think whatever we do, we need to stick with it from now until the end of the season. A settled back 5 would be so valuable I think. And that has to be GK / Bree / Bednarek / TBH / Peters. Play them, get them gelling, and hope we are more solid for the playoffs. I think that would be my one ask of Russell Martin right now - settled back 5. McCarthy is obviously totally out of the picture but I am sure he stops at least 2 of the Ipswich goals the other day. Be good to get him off the wage bill in the Summer.

True. Back four of Stephens, THB, Bednarek and KWP. Might actually make Martin reinstate our best CB pairing which I think is a big missing piece of consistency.

They tore Ipswich apart last week too. Till ipswich scored against the run of play (again). At least they're unlikely to park the bus and it should be open.

Anyone know if we appealing the red card?

I know what you mean. I am sure I had seen Brooks play through the middle before. But 433 needs a bit of physicality in the central role I think. Like Che, Stewart, or Kieffer Moore of course! I think today our front three should be Fraser, Arma and Che, with brooks for Fraser when he tires. Would like to see Aribo, but Stuey turns up in big games, and Downes / Smallbone are important. Need a strong RB vs Leif Davis and no silly free kicks or balls into the box like Saturday!! Play our best, work hard, and we win comfortably! COYS!!!

We bring it on ourselves totally by not being ruthless enough after dominating games obviously. But the point was about Ipswich rather than us really.

Very true, but where we have squandered 12 to 15 points, they've stolen that amount massively against the odds. As I said you make your own luck but you do feel lady luck is on their side and it's destined to be.

Just watched them beat Blackburn without pretty much touching the ball for the last 60mins. You make your own luck but jeez how many undeseved points have they got this season.

I wonder if he would benefit from some starts. Looked good against Liverpool aside from poor finishing. Trouble is we dont have time for experiments and need reliable performers! He did very well when we beat Leeds in the Autumn. But would you trust him ahead of Fraser/Armstrong/Brooks....possibly not!

Think he is spot on with what he says. Really enjoy going home with Adam and Joe

All got our views.and bound to get defensive. I've been close to Ipswich for 25 years including this season. When Burgess went to Oz, Morsy was suspended due to his ill discipline, and Hirst was crocked, results nose dived. And aside from beating us in September, not sure Leicester Leeds or WBA have had too many problems aside from a nervy ended for WBA away hanging onto their away draw. Mick Mills stated Bristol deserved to win the other night. All about perspective and bias I guess.

They are almost my second club - have lived in Ipswich all my life and my family are Ipswich fans. I think you need to: - Make Davis defend and dont FFS give away silly free kicks around the box -Target Woolfenden with press - he is very poor. -Attack down Ipswich right - Clarke and Tuanzebe are not great, and that makes Burns defend. -Get in Morsys head - he has a red card in him. -Control midfiend - Morsy, Luongo etc are not the strongest in any aspect, solid and hard working. -Burns is quick and direct and needs stopping, but ultimately with players like Brooks, Fraser, Kameldeen (!) there should be no comparison As I said, they were totally outplayed for 80mins last night, failed to beat WBA, Leicester, Leeds at Portman Road. BUT - they pick up so many points from losing positions and through late goals. This is a team built on hard work and spirit as opposed to talent and quality, so you would like to think that if we applied ourselves our quality would shine through.

Consensus here in Ipswich is that they massively got out of jail. Brizzle should have been 2-0 up and then bottled it. Granted, Ipswich kept going, but they were gifted it. Ipswich do have a knack of fergie time winners and equalisers though. However, Ipswich do not get results against the top sides - think I am correct in saying that out of Leicester, Leeds, WBA and us, they have only beaten us.

Yep, have to win these home games now....and they are all winnable for sure!

I live just outside Ipswich so see a lot of them. Really worry about where they will drop points now. Norwich game perhaps, and against us. We're going to have to beat them at Portman Road.

...and we should have been 5-0 at half time.

Let's have it right. They are no more a bunch of kids than we are. Edozie, Charles, Mara, THB, Sulemana. They've fielded VVD, Taimitkas, Gakpo, mcaallister, Elliot, Gomez.

Agree we do not want to take risks with Downes, but equally getting some minutes might not be a bad idea before chucking him into the Championship. He hasnt played in a while now.....

Lumley Meghoma Thb Bednarek Stephens Downes for 60mins (charles) Aribo for 60mins (Rothwell if not cuptied) Dibling Edozie Sulemana for 60mins (SAA) Che for 60mins (mara) Rest Stu and Smallbone and KWP.
