Match Day Thread Ipswich versus Southampton - 1 April - 17.30

I have acquired a brand new combine harvester for this.

There is much to admire of our opponents tenacious spirit and if this were to be my last thread I can't think of a better team to bow out against.

However I expect to see some aggression and purpose from the off from the Saints to put right the late Boro goal.

A win for Saints would be a huge statement win. 24 hours until this huge game kicks off and I can't wait!

 

2-0 easy home win, all huff and puff by us with no end product.

 

Go 1-0 up and play like we are winning 1000-0. Concede 2 in the last 10 mins and lose

 

Remember this is Saints we’re talking about, so after Saturday we’ll probably nick this!!

 

Did anyone notice how many Injury time minutes were on the board held up by the fourth official before jonny did this thread ?

1-3.

Sulemana hat trick.

 

I thought you stopped drinking

 

Is it too soon for despair.

Yes?

Think I’ll go with mournful and sad sighs. Finishing with a ‘Oh, for Gods sake.!!!’

 

Oh, now I'm starting to get excited for the game again...

 

The last time we met in the league at Portman Road. The 4th of 5 straight wins at the start of the 2011/12 season.
When Ipswich got back to 2-3 I said to my wife "it's ok we will score again". I don't know where that came from but even at that stage in the season you could see Saints were a cut above most teams. As we left the ground one of their supporters came up to me and said "that's a good team you've got there" and he was right. That season we went to loads of away games and I never expected to lose.

 

Yep was there. Was living near Chelmsford then, so easy run up the A12.

 

Front three of Fraser, Che, and Adarma. That was the best combo during our unbeaten run.

As much as Brooks is good going forward, we've looked vulnerable in the games he's started: Bristol C, Millwall, B'ham and Sunderland.

Also Adarma is much better on the right than on the left.

 

Match day

Feels a bit **** or bust today. UTFS

 

The head of nervous excitement is building, hoping for the best, prepared for the worst. COYR!

 

I’m chilled about today.

We need a win to have any chance of autos, but draw and we screw over Ipswich, lose and and we annoy Leeds and Leicester.

 

Just hope we play like it's a cup final, instead of just saying it's like a cup final.

 

As much as I'd kill for a repeat of the last time we were there, I think today's the final nail in the autos coffin.

Arma to score first. Ipswich equaliser just before half time, their second on 70 and a late late 3rd. Martin will talk some bollocks about needing to be braver in the post match presser. Happy clappers will post about how much possession we had and how much they enjoy the championship anyway.

 

Matchday.

Suffolks think it’s all over.

It’s not.

yet.

 

I have read that Ipswich fans actually want Norwich to win today, weird but understandable.
