Although Robins usually plays weakened teams in the cup, I think he has said they do not have a squad that is good enough for promotion. Think he will go for this one; we will play a similar side to Millwall in the League Cup and probably lose.

Derby used to flood their pitch before games. It literally looked like a swimming pool a few hours before kick off. Highfield Rd had a terrible sandy pitch one year, Said it before, think there was a reason Ipswich watered an already sodden pitch.

Lampard has had automatics points levels since he has been here with our current defence. What more can he do apart from going more defensive or getting Doug to spend £10 million on a better back.

Since it had been pissing it down for ages, why were Ipswich watering the pitch before the match. Can only assume they wanted the heaviest possible pitch to stop us.

Some people get locked so much into a mindset that they ignore facts and evidential stats and endlessly go on with their warped perceptions. They desperately wait for things to temporarily go awry, and bang on with the same arguments time after time. Our defence is shit. It isn't. We attack and...

I was surprised by the statistic that our four top scorers missing from the starting eleven at Ipswich had scored only one less than the whole Ipswich team at the start.

Thought he had been demoted from the Prem?

At the time I thought nothing of it. Thought he had misjudged where the line was. Watching the replay, he stopped Simms having an opportunity to score. A difficult position to score from, but an opportunity nevertheless.

Only if they can start to unpick a low block which most teams will use against them. We will always be susceptible to defeats where teams defend and have quality, very quick attackers.

Does not compute? Explain.

Because there is a drop off in quality if we rested players. When you play loads of games in a short time on heavy grounds, players need a break. Ipswich were watering a sodden pitch because they knew they had quality on the bench that we did not. Teams make subs to rest players. Bidders for...

Be very surprised if you don't beat Stoke. They will defend as a default setting and hope Thomas can bang one in.

Four of our top five scorers missing from our starting eleven and a full back with very few minutes having to play as a winger. The header he missed would probably have been scored by any of those missing four. He was also at fault for your first goal. Injuries and sickness lost us the game as...

Good players beat the offside trap, especially against tiring backs who are chasing a game and have had no opportunity to rest since the last international break. Most Championship forwards get caught out quite often with our high line.

The only time it comes back to bite us is when you play a team that can't easily break a low block like Ipswich and have players with pace to burn in their starting line up and on the bench. If we had scored first, think it would have been a different game. They rarely lose when they score first.
