    No reason at all why we can't get a win. Ipswich were dreadful last season. Keep the fans quiet early doors and grind a result. Pretty much do what teams do to us at the SOL. Easy this prediction malarkey.

    They weren't very good last Saturday by all accounts but they scrambled a win! That's all you need to do - scramble a few wins and the confidence soars!

    I expect us to win. Less pressure away and McNulty will get amongst the goals.

    Interesting test for us, this one. An away point is never a bad result, so avoiding defeat will be good. That said, setting out ONLY to avoid defeat is definitely NOT good. We should be set up to go for the win, and be happy with a point if that's what happens. It's a long season and there's plenty of time to get things sorted, but we have to have the right idea from the off...

    This is the game where we find out if the players are behind Ross imo.

    He defended them last week and they all need to put a shift in and take responsibility.

    We can't rely on our defence so need to score goals and there's enough in the team to do just that.

    So, imo, there's no point in going for a draw or defending a single goal.

    This is Ipswich's first home game since relegation so they're under pressure ...
    ... ffs get into them, quieten the crowd and give our lot something to sing about.

    Haway Lads, 3-0 and put a marker down to the rest of these teams!

    As I've said before Ross is a manager who will change formation if it's not working.

    I like the look of that XI.

    Looks like a 4-5-1 don’t it?

    i think he'll start 3,4,2,1. I can't see Ross dropping his favoured formation just yet
