Rupethebear 19 Posted April 1 After 7 consecutive home wins I think we may may find it hard to make it 8.……. watching the live games today we are so slow by comparison and don’t share the same intensity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,821 Posted April 1 Its not this game that concerns me the most, it will take care of itself and we have a better recent history of handling a derby than them ....its the 2 away games after at Sheff Weds and Preston that concern me more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan Edwards 2,274 Posted April 2 4 hours ago, Crafty Canary said: We have to admit that the Scum have been superb this season. They don’t score so many late goals by luck but by the determination to take the game to the opposition right to the final whistle. Under Lambert and Farke we were the same. Being a derby I hope we will get a result but no one will be surprised if the Scum end their 15 year run. Binner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,274 Posted April 2 Jeeze. Some proper crying going on here. I honestly haven’t been impressed by them at all at any point this season. We’ve been winning consistently at home for a good while now and I don’t see why that should suddenly change. Sarge, Sainz, Sara and the cheeky surprise of Rowe coming off the bench; they’re cooked. And what a time for Van WhoDonk to mark his time here with a goal off of his **** or something. 4-2 to us and with no trains, Binners sailing home on a river of tears.

Canario 219 Posted April 2 Score, who knows. I'd say it has become the biggest derby in a long time. We really need to win it so don't really care how at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBaldOne66 723 Posted April 2 The current Ipswich side reminds me of us under Lambert with a never say did attitude and fighting to the end as we did then. If we set up like yesterday there will be only one outcome sadly, which we all don’t want of course. Wagner needs to tell the players they can beat anyone not keep saying how good the opposition are. My hope is we can beat them but I will be happy with a draw too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,232 Posted April 2 (edited) I was growing in confidence with regard to the derby, but after yesterday it has dissipated somewhat. Throwing in the result down the road yesterday does not help. My basis for this confidence was the explosiveness of Sara and Saintz as an attacking force that contained Sargent along with some growing co-ordination and purpose in midfield. When we are good, we are capable of being very good. When we are bad, we are awful. The management team hardly ever rises above average at best in game management and tactics, and even its recent successes seem to have been as much reliant upon individual brilliance than upon any distinct planning from the top. If he doesn't get us promotion this season (some hopes) then Wager will have failed in the task he was set. Parachutes will be a thing of the past and our best could possibly want to move on because I see no way we will be able to hang on to the players who are considered to be of Premier League level, and they could all be lost sooner or later. It becomes a quicksand situation very quickly. Knee-jerk? After yesterday, no way! That display revealed problems that have lurked just beneath the surface all season. We were kidding ourselves, but I'll happily eat some of my words should we be very good on Saturday. Edited April 2 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you not wait a couple days ? If only CC did finest hours Tilly. His inability to read the room is top class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bomber 51 Posted April 2 11 hours ago, Virtual reality said: We have the quality to beat them but we will have to match their heart and desire and this team is seriously lacking in those qualities Good point - cannot see us getting anything from this one unfortunately - they are on the cusp of promotion and buoyed by yesterday’s result and coupled with how we played we seem to be world’s apart - think this long unbeaten run against them will come to an end on Sat but would obviously love to be proved wrong - I am separating this game from any play off chances as think we will get battered in them so for me it’s just a one off game against our rivals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 259 Posted April 2 Will always take a draw. Unfortunately I think our 15 year unbeaten derby run will come to an end though. If it does though at least they won't have done what we did to them under Lambert (the league double over them with a 9-2 score on aggregate, 4-1 at Carrow Road, 5-1 at Portman Road) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you're not at all impressed by a team that has 87 (!) points and STILL have 6 games to play, 23 points ahead of us and have lost just 5 matches all season (v our 14). I watched them last night on TV and they were outplayed for long periods by a team playing a far superior brand of football yet they still managed to win 4-3. That's not luck I'm afraid. It's down to a great spirit that runs throughout the club and the town. We had it here under the Messiah and then Farke. I assume you were 'not impressed' by us then either? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not impressed by them, their football, their spirit or the ****ty hovel that is their town. No idea why you’re assuming things to try and support your forelock-tugging view of the scum; we were a better side than them under Lambert and they can only wistfully dream of having players like Buendia and Pukki.

They only 'managed' to win last night because Southampton were still pushing for a win dsspite only having 10 men becsuse a draw was no good to them In no other situation would a team down to 10 have left the ipswich player unmarked on the left and not just held out for a draw. As you said ,they were outplayed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
