kick it off 2,062 Posted March 9, 2019 Few big games today. Sheff U at home to Rotherham in the lunchtime kick off and then Leeds away at Bristol City at 3pm. Both tough games for them. Bristol is a really tough trip for Leeds and Rotherham have the small matter of Yorkshire pride to play for as well as Championship status. WBA away at the Scum although i think theyre too far behind to catch us now. Im desperate to be there the day we go up this season, as i think it is a case of when, not if. Sheff Weds or Stoke look likely as it stands but if Leeds and Sheff drop some points over next few games it could well be sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 2,062 Posted March 9, 2019 Leeds Sheff United next saturday too when we're at Rotherham. Great chance to extend the gap presuming bobody drops points midweek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,813 Posted March 9, 2019 It will be a big surprise if Sheff utd drop points today, but if they do it gives us and Leeds a big advantage - and if Leeds then beat them the following week, it means Leeds and us have a good gap to third place. Would like Leeds to lose as well today of course, but that leeds/sheff utd match is a big one in the scheme of this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 8,016 Posted March 9, 2019 A lot too many ifs and buts Lakey. As long as we take care of our own business all will be fine. Five more wins and a few draws will do it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted March 9, 2019 Rotherham are bloody terrible ,particularly away from home, wouldnt ever have expected anything from that If Bristol C can stop Leeds winning it'll have been a good weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The optimistic view now with the Blades winning is that Leeds drop points and we have a 2 game cushion from 3rd place. Let those fight out for 2nd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 6,144 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Lots of permutations. Worst case scenario is SU win (which is odds on as we speak), LU win at Bristol. Then Leeds could overtake us for 24 hours on Tuesday as they play before us. It's why all those Leeds fans on social media need to just believe in themselves as they have the chance. We just need, like normal, to quietly go about what we need to do. Edited March 9, 2019 by sonyc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HertsCanary93 223 Posted March 9, 2019 Had some hope that Rotherham might have nicked a point today, as they've been tough to beat recently. Red card has absolutely killed them. It's just attack vs defense now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 589 Posted March 9, 2019 Still only one nil (Rotherham with no shots on target so far) Would absolutely love it if Ipswich's favourite son, 'Dave I was always injured till I moved to a team with ambition McGoldrick' came on and sliced in an own goal in the 93rd to share the points .... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took a look at their forums during the game as I wanted to watch but couldnt find a stream. They were bemoaning the referee, but said that specific decision was right, it was dangerous play. You would think little chance of them having it overturned if their fans are saying that the ref was poor but got that one right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted March 9, 2019 I think I've worked out Ipswich's two biggest problems a) they can't defend and b) they can't put a shot on goal. Other than that they look like a pretty average team. WBA aren't looking any better than Ipswich frankly, how they expect to get promoted I have no idea.

Bill 1,788 Posted March 9, 2019 All five below us are currently heading towards 3 points - so anything from here is a bonus And on the positive side we also picked up three points so even if it is 3 points all round, it is still one less game for them to be able to catch up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
