    Seems early doing this thread now but the match is only a few days away!

    What do you guys think, will Adkins start with the same eleven as he did at Barnsley? score predictions? WHEN was the last time we won our first three games of the season??

    Cheers.

    Nervous about this. The day where the Championship honeymoon comes to and end - until the euphoria begins again with another big signing! Predicting a narrow win for Ipswich, same team with Fox given 25 minutes at the end and Morgan given more than a cameo.

    The trouble with a high is you can come down with a bump. Remember those days in the Prem when a win could keep us going for a long time and a loss was met with a shrug of the shoulders. Our expectations are massive. We do a signing and immediately look for the next. Get a win and straight away look at the next game. Confidence is high in team and fans. I'm going for the usual 1.1 on Tuesday for an away game (but also think we are in with a good chance of a win). We are not underdogs in this League, we are a team to be wary of.

    3-1 to Saint? I can dream can't i? Would be major bragging rights over my mates. Also none of the Ipswich fans i know are very confident that they can beat us right now.

    Have you noticed how Beddy's gone all red since we got two new mods? Trying to get noticed in the crowd. Lucky it's not green..that's the sign of madness.

    Shocked! You must be in that in-between age...when you're a bit older you start kissing her again.

    Very nervous about this one! I'd take a draw but i think the winning streak is over. Even if we do lose then what a great start that we have made and i certainly didn't expect us to start this well!?

    When we lose a game, we'll just start another winning streak.

    It's a tough match and can the lads play at the same intensity with only a few days rest?

    Think Adkins will stick to the same starting 11. Would be a plus to see Barney back on the bench as I think he would do a better job up top over De Ridder for the last 15 minutes

    Should be a tough one this, I'll happily take a draw.

    I think Ipswich are in a similar position to us - with our current squads, I think we'll beat our fair share of top teams but will ultimately miss out on the top 6, probably finishing down in about 10th. However if either sides makes a couple more decent additions before the end of this month, then they could certainly finish in the top 6.

    Thankfully though, the core of our team is younger than what Jewell has built at Ipswich. Regardless of where we finish this season, I think we're only going to improve in the future. Signing the likes of Bowyer, Ellington, Ingimarsson etc, Ipswich are either going to have to go all out to take their opportunity now, or look to get a further bunch of new faces in next season or the season after.

    I dont know much about the ipswich squad but we have such depth to change things around if neccessary to play some fresh legs if you like compared to those wary old ipswich ones! But then again like i said, not too sure about the ipswich squad.
    Away to a decent team - happily take a draw.

    All good things come to an end. So lets not get to down in the dumps when it does. The championship is a marathon not a sprint.
