    Totally, I don't think he gets his body into the right positions either to finish. He normally always has to take a touch before finishing

    Honestly think we could be watching the two automatics. Nothing like getting carried away early on <laugh>

    Enjoyed that. Expect Ipswich to make some changes and win it.

    Lack of quality up front from both but thought Birmingham were really good off the ball, relentless at times.

    Now it’s settled a bit, I fancy Ipswich to get more into the game and possibly win it.

    Got to fancy both of these to be up there this season.

    I'm not convinced, Ipswich have Cajuste, Akpom, Philogene, potentially Hutchison to add to this. I could see them stretching their legs at some point in the season. Birmingham are still on the crest of a wave so will need to see how they react to an inevitable lull at some point in the season.

    I guess it depends what business they each do respectively in the rest of the window. I've taken a real dislike to Birmingham though so I may not be entirely objective.

    Both lacking creativity in the final 3rd, both missing that AM that can unlock a defence

    They were my 2 picks before a ball was kick, but my betting record is shocking so probably means neither go up

    Just watched the last few mins of first half sporting game (and made quickest 150 quid of my life on first half goals) and I’ve never seen a more one sided 7 mins <laugh>

    Just had a look at the stats. 1-17 shots in Sportings favour and the 1 was from about 30 yards and was blocked:emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Do we think, current squad man for man we better than this Ipswich side (with Delap for fairness)

    I think with the midfield we have we are. It’s a start.
