    Well, depending on fitness.
    - zero point loaning Elder if doesn’t play and Kenlock is not strong enough
    - Neither Edwards or Dozzell will start, both were appalling v Accrington

    Elder - could just be back up / competition for Kenlock as Knudesn will be out the door.
    As for Dozzell - i'm not sure whats going on there. One minute PL is praising him, and bigging him up, but then rarely plays him (in fact has he started two in a row this season?)
    I'm pretty sure he'll go, maybe even this month, but definitely end of season if he still doesn't play regularly.

    Can see Keane starting up top with Quaner being introduced in the second half... Especially with Lambert bigging up Keane during the week.

    Midfield of Skuse, Downes & Bishop would be my pick, though Chalobah might replace Skuse given his only just back training.

    It's also looking like a decent turnout based on the seats available online. Probably over 20,000.. The North Lower is pretty much sold out and the middle of the Pioneer has a few sold out sections.. Will hopefully be a good atmosphere and a thrilling win as well

    No news.. would have expected the deal to be wrapped up by now. Going to be awkward for Lambert if he ends up staying.

    Awkward for Knudsen now he's shown his hand if nobody comes in for him, the big time Charlie will lose the big time in front of his team mates.

    Knudsen will be off before the transfer window ends you have to believe that.

    We've no idea how many bids have come in / who wants him etc and that's the way it should be.

    ' The 35-year-old defender is in line to start tomorrow’s key clash with fourth-from-bottom Rotherham as Town look to close the 10-point between them and the Millers. '

    He'll play.

    So how come it’s often general knowledge who we are in for (eg Pilkington,Tilt and various other in the past)??

    We know one or two clubs are interested, but agreeing a fee, wages, contracts - different story altogether.

    Essentially people leaking information they shouldn't! Just because we haven't heard something, doesn't mean nothing is happening behind the scenes. As fans, we really shouldn't know a lot is my view on how a good football club is ran with transfers.

    I honestly don't think TWTD help us at times - they were banging on about Pilkington - don't have him though do we.

    A stat from the BBC:

    Converting three points for a win, each of the last 10 sides in the second tier to have accrued no more than Ipswich's current tally of 15 points from 26 matches have gone on to be relegated - most recently Stockport County in 2001-02.

    However, a win today and a massive impact from the new players and we could yet escape our fate.

    COYB.

    Spence dropped for Collins.

    Four forwards.

    Skuse back in.

    This IS a better defensive line up. Let’s hope for some goals.

    424 formation.. interesting.
    If Rotherham are good enough, they could exploit our lack of midfield.
    But if we get it right, we could have plenty of goals...I'm hoping for the latter, but will take a scrappy 1 nil

    We're looking pretty competitive right now. Gerken still can't kick a ball and keep it in play though :headbang:
