My 'blue' neighbour , who I get on with really well ! , has his ITFC flag flying this morning, just hope at 9 this evening its at half mast !!
UTI.

 

[NottyImp]

Another tough one.

 

[sedgleyimp]

I'm expecting quite a tight game tonight with not many clear chances so being clinical with ours will be vital.

 

[bristolimp]

Norwood always scares me when he plays against us - he always tends to play well and score against us.

I’m sure it will be . Imps 4ever

Result will all depend how well our defence holds up. I wonder if Cook will have changed their approach? I hope not, as slow possession and lack of press will help us.

 

[Imprest 1]

Big game, but they all are these days. The win v Crewe will have boosted confidence. I must say the goals in that game were all crackers!
So even with the injuries, I reckon we can spoil the party and grab the points.

Goalscorers again:

Ipswich (44)

[sedgleyimp]

Cook's first home match in charge tonight. If a crowd was allowed in that would have been a hard factor to overcome and their players will be wanting to make an impression. That just might mean though that they try too hard to impress and rush their passes. First goal tonight is vital

 

[Norfolk Imp]

I watched the Gills v Ipswich game on Saturday lunchtime before ours, and they were absolutely dreadful .... post match Cook didn't seem too worried so I'm hoping he's as blase tonight.

Morton, Johnson & Rogers will cause Nsiala & Wilson big problems.

And I believe Nolan is injured, so won't be adding to his tally of goals against us. Nor his tally of red cards for that matter.

 

[Scotimp]

The Ipswich defence has an average age of 30 - Chambers 35, Nsiala 29, Wilson 32, Kenlock 24. I wonder where we'll target our 19-year-old strike force?

I've no doubt their experience will counteract lack of pace. I wonder if there'll be a couple of reducers on Johnson/Morgan.

Great total, in spite of very few own goals this season. Must be well below average after 32 games.

Norwood always scares me when he plays against us - he always tends to play well and score against us.

Norwood on a good run too. Only 5 league goals all season, but he scored 3 in successive games before Gillingham.

They all do !

 

[HoofGrantBrown]

Purely accidental of course

If only we still had Nolan... Oh wait, maybe on reflection it's better this way.
