    Apathy seems to have set in and no one's bothered about tomorrow?
    I'll put on my positive pants and go for a 2-2 draw.

    COYB!!!

    Chelsea had a game in the Europa Conference or something on Thursday.

    I will go for a away win 2-1.

    Chelsea have a midweek Europa League game, they also want a top 5 to qualify for the champions league which will be far more important. They take a 3-0 lead into the Europa and a home leg. They have games coming up against Newcastle, Man U and Liverpool, I don’t think they’ll under estimate you this time.

    I’d expect a strong starting 11, how will your team respond, pressure off and relegation almost accepted so improved, also playing for shop window placement or heads down, wishing the season was already over.

    Chelsea 4 Ipswich 0

    It wouldn’t surprise me if the shackles were off and we start expressing ourselves. 3-1 Chelsea.

    Well I hope that Bigal's pants and our goal are leak proof! Much will depend on what team they send out, and our injured/recovering players returning.

    I see an encouraging, positive performance but go down 3-1.

    You deserve double points if this is correct

    Great for morale, if we compete and make a game of it.

    I’m going to say it. Were we looking at the wrong six pointer? Look at the final day…

    Well, well, well. There’s still life in the old Tractor Boys! Two well crafted goals - Enciso and Johnson with a goal and assist each. Good to see Johnson in particular putting in a good shift down the right. Hirst selected ahead of Delap and has had some good moments with his build up play. I think Jack Clarke has also been encouraging down the left.

    We have been quite fortunate though. Chelsea possibly tired after European exertions on Thursday. But they’ve missed a boatload of chances that really should’ve been put away. Palmer has pulled off some good saves to keep the clean sheet currently.

    Annoyingly Wolves are 2-0 up. But if we can win this and keep some momentum going - maybe, just maybe, we can start to close the gap on someone like West Ham. Unlikely, so let’s just saviour the Premier League win.

    Good half but we are the kings of giving up winning positions.

    And that goal there is why we won’t be racking up the wins down the home stretch. Championship level defending.
