Match Day Thread Ipswich Town vs Sunderland

Sunderland, a big club that appears to have had a heavier and more dramatic fall than ourselves, are slowly picking themselves off the canvass. Emboldened by new manager, Lee Johnson - of Bristol City fame - they have only one defeat in their last nine games. Despite still very much looking like a club in transition, we have not managed to beat Sunderland while we have both been in the third division.

I personally do not have much hope for this match and wouldn't be at all surprised to see us lose once again. I'd take a draw - given our awful record against any half-decent, top eight club in this division. And this is on Sky, where we have a habit of defecating in the bed on national TV.

I'll predict a disappointing 2-0 defeat.

 

I would not worry we are pretty average. Think most of our fans are expecting a draw at best tonight


Are Norwood and Jackson expected to miss this game?

 

We're long overdue a heavy defeat, this feels like it could be the game. 0-4 Sunderland.

2 goals each half.

Thomas gets injured.

 

You could be pretty naff and you'd still be able to beat us

Second-guessing Lambert's starting line-up is a difficult thing to do, but I'd expect at least one of them to be starting tonight. Hopefully both as a centre-forward pairing.

 

Lambert will go bold and play a 5-4-1 formation, naming himself in the starting line up (seeing as he tells us he's played for huge clubs), where himself and the mighty Drinnan will score a brace each, with Judge getting all 4 assists

 

There is no other club in world football better than ending a clubs really bad run than Sunderland

 

Not a hope. Trust me we are rubbish

 

And we're rubbisher

 

I bet ya not at the end of 90 minutes

 

1-3 defeat,taxi for Mr Lambert!?

COYB!

 

Can anyone on here think of any club that might be better in ending a clubs bad run?? Let me have a long think about that......1 does spring to mind

 

We recently just broke Plymouths all season run of not winning away all season and before that Wigans run of not winning in about 15

We are world class at it. Step up Ipswich your time has come

 

Seeing the lineup a certain gent in Spain will be happy!

 

No fecking Judge bigal, hurrah!!!
Town will win tonight!!
Not a drop has passed my lips, I promise you!! Just have a feeling, get out of jail win for Lambert.

 

And no Toto, Woolfy starts

 

Uphill battle now!

 

Jackson straight red. Looks deserved in my opinion, can’t stamp on the guy’s leg.

 

I agree Nuggets, he went in over the top and raked straight down the guys shin,tw@t!

 

Jackson just doesn't want to play for us, hes hardly played all season so get his arse out the door.

 

Well done ref,it should be 10 v 10 now as Winchester went in over the top on Downes.
