Sooty57 403 Posted August 6, 2016 After a nice 4-2 home win Ipswich fans must have been wetting themselves at the prospect of being top of the table, even if maybe just for a day, and lauding it over ''them budgies'' up the road.How upsetting it must have been to be knocked back to 2nd spot on goal difference, made even worse by the fact that it was their nemesis that put them there.

Number 9 0 Posted August 7, 2016 It was said on radio that their new lad who got hatrick, only scored 3? 5? Goals all last season.He may have shot his bolt too soon. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 7, 2016 Far too early for gloating. My thoughts are Ipswich will struggle this year, the seem to be on steady downward spiral since losing to us in the Play offs. However, I think they''ve picked up a very talented player in Ward.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted August 7, 2016 It''s not gloating. It''s just slightly funny that they are second in the table after the first game and we are still above them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted August 7, 2016 I don''t like Ipswich, I''ve made that patently obvious in other posts. But how exciting would it be if it was a race between us and them for the title this year and then having a derby in the Prem?There''s not much to suggest that will be the case, Barnsley could easily struggle and many are tipping Blackburn to be relegated this year, but looking at the table, I think it would make for a hell of a season!

BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted August 7, 2016 "Barnsley could easily struggle and many are tipping Blackburn to be relegated this year ......."Agreed.Both sets of supporters are getting very carried away by their respective opening day results when some circumspect appraisal might be more the order of the day. I avoid that site (TWTD) when they have good result preferring the schadenfreude route, but I did go there just now to investigate the freak happenings at the ''Loo yesterday.They think they''ve found a wonderkid already, but perhaps their enthusiasm might well be premature, as usual. The player''s previous goal-scoring, and indeed record out on loan, very much suggest that he might just have had the run of the ball yesterday. I hope so, but we''ll see.Likewise, City were brilliant but we mustn''t forget that Blackburn are very much amongst the relegation possibles this campaign and that this opener might just represent one of the easier away fixtures we will have all season.You can only win ''em though, but I will have more optimism if we beat Sheffield Wednesday (on Sky) next time out and would settle for a narrower margin.A belting confidence boaster nevertheless.

FenwayFrank 2,456 Posted August 7, 2016 They''re that excited about their result they''re predicting nearly 25000 for the derby 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted August 7, 2016 Only 17,000 yesterday so shows they need us. Still, the extra will buy them a couple more players. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
