Pre Match Leicester v Ipswich

[TangledUpInBlue]

You are all taking your eye off the ball. The last 2 games have yielded just two points. If allowed to continue over the course of a season this would give us the grand total of 46. That is relegation form. How can we hope to survive in the premiership if we play like a relegation bound championship side ? The rot has to stop now before it spreads. Anything but a win against Ipswich should mean Pearson out !!!!!

Taking my cousin to this one, will most likely be a bore fest of epic proportions.

Your cousin's not the exciting type then?

Think there are quite a few clubs in the EPL that would like to average a point game over a season

It's unlikely. Relegated teams in the PL era who have a point or more per game:

2010-11 Birmingham and Blackpool 39
2006-07 Sheffield United 38
2002-03 West Ham went down with 42
1997-98 Bolton 40
1996-97 Middlesbrough 39 and Sunderland 40
1995-96 Manchester City 38
1994-95 Norwich 43 and Crystal Palace 45
1993-94 Sheffield United 42
1992-93 Middlesbrough 44 and Crystal Palace 49

A point a game will usually keep a team up, but it's not certain.

It's a special 'racism platinum match' - so compulsory for all who attend

Are there any of those type in suffolk? It could be tricky otherwise.

I think the challenge that we now face is that teams will sit back and attempt to hit us on the break. Pearson said last night he was surprised how the 'Tree shagging ****wits' (for your benefit Rich) did not come at us early in the game. In response we have to either score an early goal to open up the game or remain patient to 'pick the lock'. Teams have clearly cottoned onto the fact that they cannot give space to the likes of Dyer, Knockaert and Vardy or they will get taken apart. It will be interesting to see how king Nigel deals with this over the remainder of the season. Come on you city slickers!!!!!

So if we go up, and if Derby come up with us. There's an extra 4 points, job done

Interesting to see who turns out at left-back; Schlupp, Miquel or Moore.

My money's on Miquel.

It could be Konchesky if red card is over turned... the club will know later today as we've appealed.....

 

[dpjfox]

As much as i rate Moore i dont think he would be best suited at left back, Miquel for me

Rejected. I honestly don't know what they were thinking of by appealing in the first place. The club are lucky it's not been increased by a game.

They've lost the appeal.

13 seconds. GET THE **** IN

 

[Micky]

13 seconds. GET THE **** IN

That's about as late as Mr Konchesky's attempted tackle on Jamie Mackie. Wreckless and deserved red. I am not worried about the replacement as I think Schlupp or Miquel will be perfectly adequate.

Now my prediction for tomorrow is a 3-1 win. There, I said it. I think we'll actually win this one. Sorry guys and gals!!! We're bloody doomed!!!!!!!!!

 

[Miles Away]

7 points from next 3 games please.
