    At the risk of putting a hex on us by posting this out of turn I'm going to predict a 1-3 Town win.

    Expect the kitchen sink to be thrown at us for the first half hour or so before our better fitness/skill level shines through.

    Agree bigal, just watched the torquay derby game, excellent result, nice energy sapping replay.
    Solid 2 nil win.

    Glad it was you with the hex Big Al, this will be a right rough and tumble Cup tie, and we will settle down, find our form, and run out 3-1 winners.

    Big confidence boost for next run of games.

    One intriguing thing is the 2 teams that beat us in the League, Plymouth & Lincoln, struggled yesterday in the Cup.

    Am i right in thinking they have an Astro turf pitch?.. therefore the pitch conditions will be better than most of the League one grounds we’ve seen..

    Will be very interesting to see how we line up. I expect we’ll go pretty strong with a couple of cameos, like Camara for example

    If we can get an early goal I think we’ll run out 4-0 winners, but I’ll never be confident about Ipswich town and any cup fixtures, regardless of opponent

    Can see another Lincoln here....they'll get an early goal and hang on for dear life, but we'll equalise in the 70th minute and take them back to Portman Road

    Always nervous watching Ipswich on national TV. The wife normally finds it amusing...
    I'm relieved at the line up. Aside from Hldaky and possibly Humphreys that's a first team. Though, it would make a loss all the more embarrassing...

    2-0 win.

    What I will say. Keogh not so far looking like the answer to all our prayers.

    Predictable opening, Town not in their rhythm yet, sloppy passes.

    Both Keogh & Burgess are looking a bit clumsy in possession, probably made more obvious given what we’ve seen this season from Wolf & Janoi

    I’d also say the Ball, Morsy, Humphreys trio in the middle hasn’t settled or looked balanced as of yet

    We need the rub of the green tonight. If we can get a couple of goals in front then heads will drop. If Bracknell are still in the game with half an hour to go then it could get ugly!

    Ball has possibly looked like the worst player on the pitch so far

    0-0 at half time then.
    I've only got audio today so can't comment too much on how the game is going, but it sounds like Bracknell are doing pretty well at keeping us out.
