She was happy with the style of football and looks forward to next season. She was genuine as well, rather than putting on a brave face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like Ipswich fans are expecting to do the same as the other 'big clubs' who have gone down: get rid of the dead wood, reorganised and get promoted soon after. I have a feeling they'll be down there longer than they think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,511 Posted April 13, 2019 Their play is built on a foundation of a strong and quick press. They blow teams away with it. Technically, I've always felt they are a lesser team to us. I know my specs are yellow and green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) As good as Millwall's goal is good news for us, so is Billy Sharp's injury and Egan's red. Edited April 13, 2019 by norfolkbroadslim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted April 13, 2019 Good to see a six point gap to third plus whatever we might get tomorrow. Would have been good to see Leeds get setback too, but you can't have eveything!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted April 13, 2019 Decent results overall ... Sheff Utd drop two points, leaving us needing just 7 points from 5 games to clinch promotion, our next home game opponents Sheff Wed essentially out of the hunt for playoffs, and Leeds close to within 3, so that will keep the motivation on us to win at Wigan tomorrow.

We can even afford ourselves the luxury of a defeat tomorrow and still be better off for automatic promotion as there’ll be one game less game for the third placed team six points behind to catch us. Should be a better day out with a bit less pressure.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted April 13, 2019 If goal difference means anything, then Leeds are still quite a way behind us at +27 compared to our +34, but of course points are way more important. Think the pressure is all on the Blades now for sure, 3 points behind Leeds and 6 points behind City and played a game more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear what you are saying and a defeat tomorrow isn't exactly on my wish list but having a six point gap over third at this stage of the season does cut us a bit of slack. Like several thousand others I'm up at stupid-o'clock on Sunday morning so a win would certainly aid digestion of the pre-match fry-up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,226 Posted April 13, 2019 Even a draw means a 3 game gap to 3rd. An unlikely assist by Millwall today but we have to make that count with a win against Wigan. We can now approach the game a bit less frantic than we perhaps would have planned to, keep the ball and just wear the opposition down like we have done many times this season. Likewise looking at Rotheram's remaining fixtures a point against us for Wigan would be an excellent result. A tight game but we should win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
