FA Cup 2nd round on Sunday (9 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I don't think Paul Lambert will play anywhere near a full strength team on Sunday. I may be wrong, but with autos obviously their main focus, and with a clash against Wycombe tonight, which should be tasty, I'd be surprised if he throws his first team into the fray on Sunday. I think that is even more likely with the fact they have to play us the following week, as he may be unwilling to give us extra clues as to how they'll perform, in what is a more important league clash. Thoughts? I say we beat them in both!!

Yeah, this. They're no different to us...going up is the priority but a nice plum tie in the 3rd round will be in the radar of all clubs in the 2nd round not to mention to pennies that come with it.

You"re assuming that we will have a strong selection?

I'd say they're slightly different from us in that they've been in the 3rd round of the cup every year since 1958, it won't feel so much an achievement for them to get there and their average gates are significantly better than ours.

I doubt they will care to be honest

We need the money more than Ipswich; I know we'll mix our team up a bit - O'Hare will definitely start I think, but as someone already posted, the income isn't so crucial to Ipswich, and their priority will be to try and beat us the following Saturday (which they won't, as we only lose to 'Tranmeres' !!)

 

[SAJ]

Can’t believe they will play their best team. At Lincoln they played mostly reserves rather than their first team.

 

[fatso]

I think our lack of quality strikers will continue to be our undoing. Ipswich are a good team and unfortunately I cant see us getting anything out of either game. But i live in hope, so you never know.

First time they had won an FA cup tie since 2010...

Ipswich lost £5.2 million last year and have lost money for the previous three years - they probably need the money more than us

Max is back and if he can continue hit it off with Bakoyoka we have a good chance

 

[covcity4life]

Last time we had a good fa cup run we got promoted too


Omens...

Would that happen to be the same Bakayoko who missed an open goal from 1 yard out, and hasn’t scored since, by any chance?

Let’s get past this round and a few much needed shillings to boost the coffers to make up for the shortfall at St Andrews. Then when a plum tie is announced all the stay aways will want tickets!

I said the same! Wont it be funny when/If we get Man Utd or Chelski at 'home' suddenly we will have more stands open as all the 'I refuse to travel to Birmingham' fans suddenly want to go and support.

More likely to be full of Man Utd and Chelsea supporters.

That's true, didn't phrase that so well.

You told me that v Lincoln and cost me money H lol

Don't worry. I’m Irish too

There's a lot of us about.

To be fair, he did play a weak side and iirc Lincoln should have beaten them - although Lincoln seem to have gone to bits post Cowleys !

No, I think Irish was right - there's plenty of them that switch back and forth.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Remember reading that. They were a bit like us in the Championship, just treading water towards the end and were bound to find less than 3 worse teams one season.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

As far as memorable games go, I remember us equalising in 96th minute at Portman Road and then Pablo Counago from the resulting kick off winning it for them.

 

[Johhny Blue]

There's a lot of us about.

Let’s hear it for the rythm metod

Obviously why there is a lot of us about.

No good reason why it shouldn’t be 32 + 0.

 

[ccfctommy]

Actually looking forward to this now

 

[Ricketts]

Metoo. So much so I've gone and bought a ticket.

I just quickly noticed this and thought it said! "Actually looking forward to the snow"! Wondered what you'd heard that we haven't! :emoji_grin: :emoji_snowboarder: :emoji_mountain_cableway:
