A win was always possible at Ipswich, they aren't aren't world beaters and have been in poor form anyway. We scored plenty against Birmingham at home and they are worried as hell for this one. Hernandez will be back for this game.
I'd say Henriksen has made the odd tackle but still not many. And he still has a tendency to wave a leg at the ball when tackling - he has given away several freekicks. He's had 2 better games after being generally very poor for over a year. I sincerely hope he's coming to grips with English football and all that but let's see how he does against teams with more heart than Norwich or Ipswich. I suspect Birmingham will be well up for this under a new manager and given their position so a much tougher test of him I think.
Why do some people constantly have to single out one player to blame for our past disastrous form. It is never the fault of one player, its a team game and over the season every one of that team will make a mistake and every one of them will slip in and out of form. It is just so boring seeing people slagging off whoever they perceive to be constantly at fault.
To be fair I’ve been very critical of Henriksen through out. But in the last three games including Millwall he’s been our best player. Not shirked tackles at all, won headers, passed the ball well. I hope he stays fit, let’s pray the penny has dropped.
Saturdays game at Brum could well be a stepping stone to safety. They have a new manager and are obviously fighting for thier lives,many will be quietly thinking they are due a win. What we don't want is to go a goal down because the crowd at St Andrews are usually worth a goal start even on a bad day. Another win no matter how narrow and many will really start believing our season has finally turned round. A defeat however will have us looking over our shoulders again at those who many see as relegation fodder so for me,Saturday is a f'kin massive game and could well be that 90 mins we talk about over a cold one this summer as the game that finally decided our Championship fate. Would I take a draw now...you bet.
No way is that Nigel, it's eight hundred words (minimum) of gushing positivity, and bullcrap, short! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
With a draw, I can't see 3 clubs overhauling us. Effectively a 10 point gap. A draw will most likely be enough. Be nice to get a 3rd win and to create some positivity ahead of the season end (even though that will likely disappear when we inevitably see key players leaving and another shambolic transfer window follow).
Oh look what Markus said, guess he was hiding ! “I have been much, much tougher now and now I want the ball, before I was a little bit afraid and you can’t be afraid if you want to play good football, so I learned a lot from that."
