Ipswich Town vs Huddersfield Town

[TractorBoys]

We simply can't buy a goal at the moment, perhaps not surprising with our injury list & the departure of Murphy. On the flip side, this would be our fourth consecutive clean sheet at PR.

Should be boosted today by Bishop starting in the centre of the park, so creativity could & should be there. Will be pleased to see young Emmanuel at RB once again after his MOTM performance against Brighton.

Wouldn't be shocked to see another 0-0, PR is not a happy hunting ground for Huddersfield but if I was to place a bet I'd suggest Wells will perform well against us again and we'll lose by a goal or two to nil given their momentum.

Think this will be 1-0 either way, I just hope it's to us. Don't know who's going to score though, relying on Leon Best doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

I hope I'm proved wrong but I'm not confident! Can see 0-0 again.

 

[TractorBoys]

Scratch that then! Unchanged starting 11, with the same midfield three of Skuse, Douglas & Bru. And one striker in that of Leon Best... Varney on the bench. So disappointing.

Playing for the 0-0 then. Would be a good result but very uninspired right now.

 

[TractorBoys]

Unsurprisingly 0-0 at HT then. We've very much been in the game, fairly happy with what I've heard.

With the likes of Sears & Bishop likely to feature in the second half things could be worse. I still think 0-0 would be a good result.

 

[TractorBoys]

Bishop & Sears on for Ward and Bru. Crowd not happy with Ward going off but I think it's fairly positive, switching to 4-4-2.

Just hope we stay solid at the back as by all means it sounds like we're the better team.

Edit.. seems we have our answer. Schindler 0-1 against the run of play. Oh dear.

 

[TractorBoys]

4 games without a goal, 1 in the last 5. Boo's ring out round Portman Road.

McCarthy's realistically in trouble now I feel, for the first time in his tenure.

 

[AnkleBiter]

Get the fuck in!

 

[Tom_ITFC]

He's got to go! A few players don't appear to be playing for MM.

 

[TractorBoys]

Mick's getting absolutely slated on the radio - no positives whatsoever. I genuinely think there's an outside chance he goes before the end of the international break. How long is left on his contract Tom_ITFC , Veggie Legs ?

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Wasn't he given a 4 year contract in January?

EDIT: just seen the contract was extended to summer of 2018 with option for 2020

 

[TractorBoys]

His interview was incredibly negative, seemingly not as arrogant as usual, though still deluded about Best and the midfield.

 

[Nook Terrier]

Anyone starting to see us as a threat yet?

I bloody love this football team, second international break top of the league.

Quality header by Schindler.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

The ironic thing is you've played a lot better at Portman Road and come away with nothing/a draw!

Yep, similar to Brighton last season, it's got to the point now where you have to be taken seriously.
