Russ or Tierney.

Before the game, if we were all asked - Would Rudd save a penalty, how many of us would have said yes and believed in him? His save proved that his performance was worthy of praise and that any doubters or slaters of him should be ashamed!

Rudd - 7. (Good debut, excellent pen save) Tierney - 7. (Best defender today) Da Laet - 5.5. (Getting too much stick, wasn''t completely awful) Barnett - 6. (Average, kept Odemwingie under control) Naughton - 6. (Wasn''t impressed with him today, might give Martin another chance v Fulham) Johnson - 7.5 (Ran a lot, good match) Crofts - 6. (Good performance and energy considering he played midweek) Surman - 6.5 (Showed his class, performance was better than previous, but not an aggressive player) Bennett - 6.5. (Good in midfield, could have done more when infront of the goal) Holt - 6.5 (Quiet for the first quarter of the game) C.Martin - 7. (Impressed with Martin today, don''t think he should have been subbed. Ran up and down, good attitude and effort shown) Would have put Pilkington on the bench over Wilbraham!

I think Rudd was brilliant today. Yes he did look shaky in the first 5-10minutes but who wouldn''t be?! The pen save was excellent as was his save in the first half. You have to remember pretty much for the last 2 weeks he''s been away with the England U21 squad, so to come in and do what he did today, it was a very good performance. His confidence will have been boosted, hopefully he will get some more games under his belt!

Rudd on the bench for the 4-1 win over Israel. Lansbury with one of the goals apparently Shame Rudd didn''t get to play in any of the matches but hopefully he will be on top form for Sunday and more importantly, no injuries picked up!

Could well be a new record. There is always a good amount of people queueing up match day to get tickets aswell!

Agreed that both together in the team would be brilliant as I thinks it''s hard to choose between the 2. But at the moment Pilks. I think he needs to get a couple of starts and full games under his belt, and then we will see just how great he is!!

Lambo seemed optimistic about Vaughan''s return hopefully after the International break. So hopefully won''t be too long. (Elliot Ward not far behind). I think it''ll be a good time for him to return now that we''ve started to find our feet in the prem, and it''s about time we started banging those goals in ;)

Well I''m going, it''s the only match I can get to this season. So we''ll probably lose! But I''ll go 3-2 to City. (Pilks, Holt and Morison) Can''t see Rudd keeping a clean sheet, but it won''t be a disaster.

Maybe De Laet could put in a good word for us ;)

On loan to West Ham for the rest of the season. Would have loved him here though!

So many binner fans wearing their shirts in Ipswich today, just coz they''ve signed Bullard no need to act like they have won the league!

I actually thought Rudd did well for what he had to deal with. He needed a defence he could rely on - that never appeared! He should have gained confidence and experience from last night''s match but won''t have gained much at all! People forget how little he has played for us over the last 2 seasons, cut him a bit of slack, he''s not going to brilliant and at least he tried right through until the end unlike most of our team!

Watching the team, they just didn''t gel together. Ayala and Whitbread together were not a good pairing and neither were Wilbraham and Jackson. Fox was one of the only decent performers and Surman had bursts of 10 minute intervals showing some of his skill, but like most the midfield he disappeared for most of the game. Our lack of shots on target was disappointing and so was the overall attitude of the team as a whole.

The coverage is much better compared to the FLS, but they did make Norwich look stupid! Probably won''t ever have much of a good word to say about us, even if we get a 3/4-0 win - We''re the forgotten team behind QPR and Swansea, already been written off, but come the end of the season, we''ll be the ones laughing!

I lost my scarf on the A140 just before Ipswich on the way home last season.

Martin''s foul was more of a penalty than Da Laet''s!

Wouldn''t mind Richard Hancock off Radio Norfolk. Commentry certainly wouldn''t get boring with his lovely voice [;)]

Replaced by Naughton at the start of the game. Hopefully it''s not an injury!!

Would also love to see either back at Carrow Rd. But Pacheco just edges it.

[quote user="Barnett is King"]What sort of team is likely to play? I''m not going just wondered is all. Thanks. [/quote] Squad are back from Germany I do believe, so I reckon it''ll be a strong team alike to Southend and Coventry later this week. I''m hoping to make the Coventry game, so it''ll be good to see the new lads alongside last seasons heroes [:P]

Why should season ticket holders have to move forward?!! These new front row seats should be available to supermembers / general public!! Season ticket holders have had their seat reserved for at least a couple of months and shouldn''t have to move now!

We were linked with a rumoured bid for Whittingham a couple of weeks back..... I too would love to see him here and think he would be a great asset to the squad, even if we already do have more than enough players in midfield. However his quality and playing style would be great for us. Wouldn''t mind seeing Gradel here either. Likewise to W''ham I feel he would slot nicely into our squad.
