Other Games 23/24

[gio1saints]

Interesting to see what team Leeds put out tonight away to Plymouth. It’s a long trip for them and Plymouth are usually quite attacking at home. Could be goals a plenty. 

[AlexLaw76]

Leeds go into Extra time - 🙂

Leeds home to Rotherham at the weekend - 😞 

[SNSUN]

Leeds have their entire attacking roster on the pitch. And they score.

Piroe, Gelhardt... they have attacking riches for sure. But they don't have Sekou Mara.

They unpacked their offensive unit  to secure an  overtime victory.

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Nigeria v South Africa just gone to penalties in the AFCON semi final. 

Aribo on the pitch, assume he's in with a chance of taking one.

[whelk]

 Come on Nigeria

[Patches O Houlihan]

Nigeria through 🤠

[Patches O Houlihan]

Aribo didn't have to take a penalty. Came on at 102mins, game ended at 121mins.

Will play DRC or Côte d'Ivoire in the final; they are just about to kick off on BBC3

Can Roy Keane grow a full beard in two days? One minute the fucker has huge beard, then clean shaven and before you knew it will ahave that big grey bastard again

Uh oh. Whelk's found out that AFCON is entirely scripted and filmed out of sequence. Security team to Whelk's, and get me a new continuity person! 🙂

[Give it to Ron]

Chelsea 3 up at Villa winners play Leeds who hate each other . I remember the 70 cup final was a war all over pitch .

No way they will be resting players IMO for that game

[whelk]

Bristol City getting worn out for next Tuesday with extra time tonight

[Saint_clark]

Boing boing baggies 1 up away to Ipswich!

[Suhari]

Boing, boing .

I always loved The West Midlands. Class place.

[Sheaf Saint]

A hard fought away win (or draw) with a couple of injuries and/or suspensions ahead of our game at the Hawthorns next week would be just lovely.

[Turkish]

Good news from Portman Road so far. Let’s hope it stays like that. If we can match Leeds results and win our game in hand we’ll be four points clear of them both 

[Gingeletiss]

Well, at the moment it is attack v defence, like training, but the scoreline  has WBA winning. Just what we want.

[Dark Munster]

Let’s hope their new striker Kieffer Moore doesn’t again get a couple in the second half. 

[Suhari]

Nuts.

Always hated the West Midlands. Shithole.

[Saint Scott]

Weimann channeling his inner Maradona, disallowed though

Long way to go yet, Ipswich are good and will come again.

Clear as day that Ipswich will fall away. Leeds are our big challengers now

The good news is they've lost two players to injury so far - Kyle Bartley and Daryl Dike.

The downside of that is we now have 8 mins of stoppage time.

 

[Saint Scott]

2-2

And there's the Ipswich equaliser 😏

Probably because they've only won once in their last nine games now.

That's not promotion form. It's more like relegation form.

And with that, none of the teams below us have it in their own hands any more!

Their Championship form is mid table for the last 10.

Ipswich have now got just 9 points from their last 9 games. Tbf they’ve played Leicester twice, Leeds, WBA and Sunderland. But it’s a remarkable drop off from their 16 wins and 51 points in 21 games start.

And yet they’re still only a point behind us, which shows how incredible their start has been. We could easily lose form whenever the inevitable defeat is. It’s crucial we keep winning because we can’t afford a loss in form as bad as Ipswich’s.

They were 10 points above us.not long ago, win today we’ll be 4 points above them same games played.

It was only 6 weeks ago they were 12 points ahead of us. Ergo, they have fallen away.

We have the advantage now, because we have more points available between now and the end of the season.

Ipswich were 90% confidence and momentum from last season, if you look at their players individually they were never as strong as the current top three. We will lose a few games between now and May but we’re good enough to come back and win the next one because our players are far better.

[Maggie May]

Yep, fair enough. I think they’re a good side with a good manager, reminiscent of our Adkins year.

Fair play to Ruben Selles, 2-0 win for Reading today and they’re up to 18th.

Wonder how Nathan's post match press conference will go ?

[sfc4prem]

So we all agree Leeds are the big threat now? I look at their goals conceded and must admit, I'm impressed. I know people go on about their attacking prowess, but they seem to be quite tight at the back.

Thankfully, so are we. Apart from today!!
