One match ban for DOGSO. I'm finding it very frustrating that I don't know who I want to win this match. And hence I don't know if I'm happy or annoyed at the lack of red for Ipswich! But Bree will have every right to be angry if he was watching that. Goal
Nah Ipswich to win for me. We aren't getting autos, and it'd be nice for one of Leeds / Leicester to miss out and someone different goes up. Although it means we could face them in the play-offs but to be honest, i'm not sure it matters who you're up against in a knock out game.
I don't know which of the top three I would prefer to play at Wembley, if it was to come to that. I don't know if I'd rather face WBA or Norwich (or someone else) in the SFs. I don't know who (Norwich or someone else) has the best chance of knocking out 3rd place in the SFs.
Norwich weren't amazing, but they miles better in that 45 minutes than they were against Leicester. However, if they want to win this, they probably need to score in the first 15 minutes of the second half - because Ipswich will presumably make their usual double or triple or quadruple 60 minute substitutions.
Norwich have the better H2H record vs Ipswich. We have the better H2H record vs WBA. Norwich and us have an equal H2H. It therefore is only right that we beat WBA in the play-offs, Norwich beat Ipswich, and the two of us to go Wembley to decide it.
I’m willing to admit I’m petty enough to have Had a little laugh at Ipswich, immediately losing to their arch rivals after all the fuss on Monday. Still think they end up in the playoffs…
Leicester play first in each of the next three rounds. And then they have their game in hand against us. They had a massive wobble, but now they're back on top, I wouldn't be surprised if they stay there.
100%. The reason for their wobble was a couple of injuries to their CMs. Now they’re fit and firing again. Same as when we lost Downes. Except instead of going back to our winning team, Martin is dicking about with players in random positions
Nah, its really not that simple. If you picked that winning team for Coventry, we wouldn't win it. This style of football has been found out.
Sad to say but I think I agree. Been a worry all season that he is one dimensional. Strange though, because it clearly seemed to work for a while. I don’t really understand how we can have dropped off the boil so much. The other big problem is that he’s also shown that tactically he is slow to react, which will likely be a big problem in the playoffs. Not looking great right now.
Just been doing to a predictor, up to and including round 45. Going into the final day, I've got two points separating Leeds and Ipswich for 2nd, one point separating WBA, Coventry and Norwich for 5th and 6th, and seven teams trying to avoid the final two relegation places (Stoke, Blackburn, QPR, Sheff Wed, Birmingham, Huddersfield, Plymouth).
