Hull City vs Ipswich Town Saturday 13th April 2013 Portman Road Kick-off - 3:00pm Ipswich Town Under Mick McCarthy, Ipswich seem to be pulling themselves out of the relegation dogfight. Their form has improved and their defence are now hard to crackdown with 8 clean sheets from the last 10. They're going to be missing main man David McGoldrick who's 93 day loan spell has expired; Lee Martin is expected to come back in. The Tractor Boys are currently 5 unbeaten, with 3 wins against Bolton Wanderers, Leeds United and Derby County and 2 draws against Peterborough and Millwall. Their two most recent losses were against Nottingham Forest and Watford but recent results show that they are no longer pushovers. Hull City View attachment 22869 The Tigers still retain 2nd place, but only stand 3 points in front of Watford with a worse Goal Difference. Recent Player of the Month winner George Boyd will be looking to extend his run of form in the side and there are welcome news for Hull City supporters and Steve Bruce as Matty Fryatt and Jack Hobbs may well be available for selection. City have been struggling for results lately, grinding out 1-0's in an attempt to just secure that 2nd spot in a run of form that sees the side alternating between win/lose since beating Blackburn. Every game is important in the run-in now, especially since as in a slip up may allow Watford to leapfrog City and steal that 2nd automatic spot.

References candy?? Bibliography next time too please!! Tough game, we'll do a job on them today though. 2 -0 City. Meyler n Boyd.
They might get put up as Articles soon, I'm in discussions so I have to have references just in case people start to complain about plagiarism.
You think we're gonna score 2 own goals Chazzy?? I'm going for 1-1 in my head, but my pants say 0-3 to City.
Good news - put City in my accumulator - only ever done it twice before and both times I won. Sorted. Everyone can relax now.
@hullcityteam: TEAM NEWS: Jack Hobbs and David Meyler return to the starting XI for today's game at Ipswich, replacing Alex Bruce and Robert Koren. #hcafc So it looks like Chester Faye Hobbs Elmo Meyler Evans Quinn Brady Gedo Boyd
No gedo.. no koren so simpson and boyd upfront hobbs chester faye elmo brady, meyler,quinn,evans? simpson boyd
RETURN OF FRYATT! Tigers: David Stockdale, Ahmed Elmohamady, James Chester, Abdoulaye Faye, Jack Hobbs, Robbie Brady, David Meyler, Corry Evans, Stephen Quinn, George Boyd, Jay Simpson. Subs: Eldin Jakupovic, Liam Rosenior, Ahmed Fathi, Tom Cairney, Robert Koren, Nick Proschwitz, Matty Fryatt. Got to feel sorry for fathi.. what more can he do
That looks a good balanced team, good to see he has left Koren out as he hasn't pulled it weight of late. Will be a tight game, probably a draw, but I will go for a City win by the odd goal.
be better in training ? Bruce obviously doesn't rate him. It's a good team. We have options on the bench if things aren't going well !
I hope Posh beat Watford today. We need to break our win loss win loss win loss win loss win... cos that'd mean that were due a loss today.
