Regards the match.
Even during our recent poor run we’ve still played quite well.
I can almost guarantee we’ll play good attacking football and will create chances.
However as seen in recent matches at BL playing well doesn’t mean we’ll win.
A common trend in the Steel City derbies is who...
SY Police have announced last that they believe Friday nights are safer then Sunday lunchtime kickoffs. So this match being played Friday night is not because Sky Sports have all the power and can tell the police what to do?
Here’s the report
500 police officers drafted in to stop derby day...
It’s a way of punishing, so called “glory hunters” who jumped on the “let’s piss the league” bandwagon after losing the playoff final at Wembley.
But some fans will not like a chairman seeking to punish fans.
It’s like the Chairman’s conditional offer is saying.
‘If you don’t want you season...
Details have come through regards the “conditional offer” of a season ticket refund.
It’s a pro-rata refund, so no financial penalty however your details are kept on a list and
1: You instantly lose all your loyalty points (making away tickets almost impossible to buy).
2: You will be refused...
All I ever heard from Wednesday fans is that they had the strongest squad depth in this league
It was so strong that they could put out 2 decent Championship standard teams.
It seems the squad players aren’t as good as first thought. Carlos is getting the blame
But we’ll see just how good these...
Agree, no ones that’s bothered with the cup anymore.
We made 8 changes and played almost a reserve team.
They are also in the same league, therfore many fans will get the chance to return to Ipswich later in the season.

According to the SY Police (see link above) they insist that a Friday night kick off will be much safer than a lunch time kick-off.
Apparently there’s LESS time spent in a pub for...
The interesting issue in the Katrien Meire appointment is
When making an appointment for any job the norm is for the employer to produce a job spec (so they are clear about what type of CEO they want). Then the employer scrutinises cv’s and asks relevant questions during the interview to test...
Agree, what makes football such a great game is it’s unpredictablilty, so there’s always hope.
Wednesday are currently like a wounded animal, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they show character and impressive battling qualities in their next league match at Bramall Lane. Also we’ve seen it so many...
Yeh it’s the Commedy Club down at S6.
It all started from our convincing 4-2 win at their place earlier in the season. That win is proving to be a water shed moment.
Their fans lost their swagger and went into a semi depression for a few weeks, now they are at each other’s throats, plenty of...
Dominant and impressive display.
We made Derby look like the away team, don’t know how they can be up their.
That’s twice we’ve played them in the league and both times Derby were very underwhelming.
The goal was coming 1-1, Leon Clarke.
Derby are playing like the away team, just happy to defend in numbers and hit us on the break.
Think we’ve had 12 corners, it’s all United now with Derby on the ropes.
Half time 1-0 Derby
Derby seem happy to sit soaking up pressure then hitting us on the counter.
SU have looked like the home side, played well but poor final ball so not creating clear chances.
Derby haven’t had many attacks but looked far more dangerous and on the stroke of half time broke...
Been listening to it and we’ve been very comfortable , controlling midfield and possession.
Then we gift Derby an unnessary penalty. 1-0 down Vydra powers it down the middle.
Still feeling quite confident for a draw as we’ve been the better side.
Although if Derby sit back and defend in...
I thought the same.
Apart from praising Gary Madine our manager gave very little praise to Bolton. It sounded small minded going on about their poor style of play and how we were the only team pushing forward trying to win the game playing football “the right way”.
In many way I do agree with...
Thought the start (first 15 minutes) was key today.
Bolton seemed psyched up, showed physicality and big determination whilst we looked lethargic and possibly over confident.
Once the goal came (which I think was just about deserved) then Bolton gradually slipped in to survival mode, defending...
I went to the Xmas fixtures in the 77-78 season.
Think we lost at home to Bolton 1-5, although I think you were near the top of division 2 at the time
And the next match we have a home game against Arsenal (3rd rd of the FA cup) and lost 0-5, think Malcom McDonald scored an hatrick.
Think first goal is key.
If Bolton score first, then it will be tough trying to break down a determined packed defence and I predict a 1-1 draw.
If we score first (which I expect) then we’ll win 2-0 or 2-1.
Prediction 2-1
Gary Madine will be booed every time he goes anywhere near the ball...
