Tonight for me is a must win. I cant be too critical about Coventry considering our start to the season but they do look like they could really struggle and with the calibre of 'names' in our squad it will be unacceptable for us to lose. I wouldnt say I was confident of a win but agree with JWM that if we dont start getting points this could well be another season to forget.
If we dont win tonight I think we are seriously in the smelly stuff, I know there are over 100 points still to play for but I think confidence amongst the players and supporters will plummet. On the other hand of course a win will lift the club up the table and give the players a much needed boost for the tricky fixtures coming up. So come on PJ youve brought in some decent names so get them playing as a team, thats your job and no more of this "we need time to gel " nonsense proffesional players should be able to think on their feet and adapt to the circumstances of the match, if they cant perhaps theyre not the right players?
Absolutely agree with that Fieldmarshall Confidence breeds confidence and with 3 points tonight we go into the tough away fixtures on a bit of a high.
A few of our not606ers seem to have spat the dummy causing a hard stance against the causes of WUM between our 2 clubs.................. Anyone that gets offended by an online footy forum should take a long hard look at themselves........I guess it would not be possible as a mirror would probably be mistaken for their evil piss taking twin ....
u mean Jewell is going to show the world how NOT to play a midfield ? If we line up how we did v Blackpool I will be betting on Coventry.
I am very optomistic and think we will win by 3 or 4 at least!! Still i ain't been on the old juice yet, give me a few hours and i will predict a heavy defeat, LOL!!!
At home and on SKY can only mean a defeat I'm afraid. Wish I didn't feel that way though. Hope I'm wrong.
Unfortunately we have been less than convincing both at home and on TV recently hence my realistic but not overly positive statement. Ipswich 5 - 1 Coventry I love my team and hate all others (is that better?)
Ipswich 13 Stockdale 03 Cresswell 25 Collins 31 Sonko 06 Leadbitter 07 Edwards 08 Bowyer 15 Andrews 21 Bullard 10 Chopra 14 Scotland Substitutes 12 Lee-Barrett, 05 Delaney, 29 Ainsley, 09 Emmanuel-Thomas, 27 Murphy Coventry 01 Murphy 02 Keogh 03 Hussey 15 Cranie 31 Christie 04 Clingan 07 Bell 08 Baker 34 Bigirimana 09 Jutkiewicz 14 McDonald Substitutes 13 Dunn, 30 Cameron, 32 Thomas, 11 McSheffrey, 19 O'Donovan
So Jewell has persisted of a midfield of Bowyer / Leadbitter / Bullard + Andrews. It was HORRIFIC V Blackpool........... One good note is Murphy is sub, worst performance in a town shirt ive seen a player give live in many years. My prediction - 1 all draw. That midfield worrys me...
