    interesting 'heat map'...i was wondering about hume not being as involved and the map proves it, we are starting to use our right side more, now if we could mix the two up a lot more, this could get interesting.

    The pressing tactic relies on , timing, and pace, we are short of these qualities in the final third, Ipswich had all the time in the world at the back, in sharp contrast our defenders were often caught out by the Ipswich press, which seemed to target Connor McLaughlin and Tom Flanagan particularly, to great effect.

    I know pressing is good tactic, particularly if a misplaced pass ends up with one of our strikers and he ends up an easy goal.

    However, if you consider some of the possession stats that happen if the back 4/5 passes to themselves in their own half, but create few chances, you get a false idea 'who is winning as it were'.... then if you pounce/counter attack a goal is more likely as they are not in position. Gooch and Hume, probably only one with pace to do this. However I have heard tell there is an oldish player over in Leicester, who is quite adept at this..
    Make a cheeky offer?

    But but ... I just don't understand.

    Lambert said it was a disgraceful decision and the referee was useless.

    I recon the ref was distracted by the wind from the lads studs as he was only a couple of yards away.

    Should never have appealed! So does this give him a longer suspension? It did for us I remember.

    My Danny Graham never to score for us prediction is looking good mate. He managed to keep one out from a yard so far today.
    Take it from me, he"s a conman and just here to take our money.

    Just to remind everyone - there are no replays
    So its extra-time followed by penalties - if we do equalise.
