Match Preview;
This Wednesday night we are back to it, and hopefully ready to move on from Saturday's debacle against Ipswich. Heartbreaking stuff. I watched sitting next to my kids, one of whom was wearing an Ipswich shirt my nominal tractor-boy father-in-law gave him...purely to wind me up. It worked. We were so bad on Saturday, so negative and so easy to undo at the back. It was infuriating. Going into Wednesday night, I'd like to see a fair few changes, and looking at the bench from Saturday, Mbengue, Norrington-Davies, Smyth, Varanne, Field, Poku, Saito and Frey could all come in, to use fresh legs and make the point that Saturday wasn't good enough. I'd only leave Cook and Dunne on the field from the eleven who started on Saturday. It was infuriating to watch. After that result we sit 13th, last in a group of 4 teams on 18 points...and one point ahead of four teams on 17 points, so solidly mid-table.
As for our visitors, they've not had a happy return to the Championship after a year in the Premier League. Last season, they managed a grand total of 12 points from two wins and six draws...making them the second worst Premier League side in history, one point ahead of the Derby side from 2007/08. As has been proved many times before, that psychology is hard to change, and they've won 2, drawn 6 and lost 5 so far this season...a run which led to Will Still being dismissed on Saturday, after just five months in charge. Their top scorer so far is Adam Armstrong with 4 goals, followed by Ryan Manning and Ross Stewart with 2 each.
Pre match interview with Stefan here...
Summary, and my paraphrasing...
'We struggled at the beginning of the first and second halves against Ipswich...and again towards the end. I liked the response in the first half, but then the third goal killed us mentally.
They changed managers two days ago and we can expect a lift.
This morning we watched a long video to show what we did well in the good run, and the little differences. I wanted to show them they have the quality, and can restart and have confidence.
They need to remember they are a good team when they do exactly what they need to do on the pitch...and keep a strong mindset, and enter the pitch with fire, not fear...I want to see my team play with fire.'
