    Ok, I am driving up for this one...1st game for a while. What are everyone's thoughts? Please, no trolls, budgies, vamps .....for an honest change and straightforward thread!

    With worries over Jonny and Murph, can we really make it 8 without defeat? Or is the tide gonna turn?

    Team & forecasts please.....and if I make the same old watering hole, is Warky gonna stand me up for a drink?!<laugh>

    2-1 Berra Goldy. Up to 3rd!!:emoticon-0148-yes:

    The Blackburn fans certainly think that we will win and by a decent margin!

    Taken from TWTD


    "We have two weeks to dwell on this mediocrity before we go to Ipswich. We'll lose that and be more than six points off the pace", "I'll say it now. We'll lose comfortably at Ipswich", "We are nailed on to lose at Ipswich", "We are sure to lose at Ipswich."

    "I've got no hope for this one. It will be an easy 3-0 home win for Ipswich", "I think we will come away with our tails between our legs", "They are at home, with better players and a better manager. We could be on the wrong end of a thrashing here", "I reckon we'll get battered."

    Supporters are deeply pessimistic about the game, with a 3-0 defeat being regularly forecast. "We're going to get trounced. I expect something in the region of four or five-nil. This game will show us just how far we are from being a promotion contender."

    There is considerable praise for Mick. "It's so disappointing that we didn't hire Mick McCarthy when we had the chance. I'm not even sure he was looked at by the geniuses in charge", "McCarthy is the difference", "They have a proper manager with a game plan - 4-1 to Ipswich."

    "We are tailor made at the minute for a physical rigid Ipswich side to let us do our slow going nowhere passing/long ball nowhere strategy whilst they gobble it up easily. A draw here would be a good effort but I only see a routine victory for them with two set piece goals."

    "Ipswich are a big, strong high tempo playing side and one of our major problems is we struggle against this style of football. Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor have far too much in their lockers for Bowyer", "Ipswich might be dark horses this year...."

    Jeez - how sh!t must they be if we have better players, and that they think we'll win by 4 or 5.
    Can't see it myself, think MM will revert back to type, play 4-4-2 with Tabbs back wide mid.
    I can see this going there way 1-2.

    Well, who needs any doom mongers at ITfc after that lot! Bit pessimistic aren't we all..apart from SD and I.

    2-1 Town still. Pint glass always half full<cheers>

    I think we will win 3-2.......they have a decent strike force but that's about it Rhodes will score but he doesn't track back or do the ugly stuff which is probably why he his still a championship player.

    Happy birthday Mr TacheFace...have fun in bathalona.:grin:

    I unstuck it. It hadn't seen action for ages and is a tad outdated.
    Maybe somebody would like to take the time to write a nice introduction thread to replace it.
