Ipswich Town (A) - Sun 19th Jan, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[I'msingingingtheblues]

Our best result in recent times was beating Forest with Grealish and KDB in CM but hasn't been tried again since really.

At least Grealish can keep the ball and drive forward with less risk - nothing (other than the game) to lose trying him more in that role :-)

This is one of the worst line-ups we’ve put out all season.

 

[clarion]

EPL should allow us to play 1 extra player with this midfield.

 

[youngbob]

That midfield is frightening as fuck.

2-0 Ipswich, at least.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

That midfield. At least Bernie has finally been dropped.

A tough game and probably a tough watch.

 

[wolviedinho]

Not a great team again which only highlights the need for new players.

We have PSG on wed so not surprised some players left out of this one.

Until we get through January’s window, things won’t be changing.

Ake not fit again or not risked?

Let’s hope the players who have underperformed step up today.

 

[denTTony]

Esp when you think how long he kept faith with Rico - hopefully O’Reilly be on at 60 once we’re at snails pace.

We’ll. be at snails pace long before 60 mins with that midfield

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

We need Doku to have a stormer here

 

[Paul1970]

Got to admit this will be difficult . Gundo shouldn’t be playing and our midfield is gonna get tested

 

[City of Troy]

I hope you're wrong there

Me too

 

[city saint]

i see the fanny wipes are needed again.it was obvious with psg coming up he was going to have to take a risk.weve still got more than enough to win

 

[N1985]

How far away is he?!View attachment 143655

That's a bit unfair sticking him next to that lanky **** haha

 

[wolviedinho]

Take our chances and we win.

 

[hertsblue]

Desperately needed midfield reinforcements 1st Jan. now on the 19th we are playing the same tried and failed midfield that every team walks through.
Tough game to call as the energy and pace of Ipswich will even up the lack of skill between their players and ours.
Will no doubt need 3 to win as they will probably have as many shots as us, just hope we have our shooting boots on

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Saving him for the next couple of games?
Plus Doku needs minutes

I'd have played them both today personally. Couldn't care less about CL this year we aren't anywhere near good enough to challenge for it in my opinion so resting players for League games to play in it makes no sense at all. Hopefully we can blast them away early today before our lack of legs comes to bite us.

At least Grealish can keep the ball and drive forward with less risk - nothing (other than the game) to lose trying him more in that role :-)

Jack is good getting back defending also.

 

[wolviedinho]

Regardless of who pep picks the injuries are killing us.

Month from now things will look a lot different.

 

[freshie]

That midfield is frightening as fuck.

2-0 Ipswich, at least.

That’s the spirit

 

[abu13]

Anyone have any link?

WTFs Ed Shearan doing at the ground?

You mean apart from being born and raised in the City, being a lifetime fan, having a 1.4% share in it and being the clubs shirt sponsor? No idea.
