Three most likely outcomes

Ipswich 0 - 5 City (Wright 5)

Ipswich 1 - 0 City (Chaplin)

Ipswich 0 - 0 City

I suspect the middle one.

Take a draw!!!!

If we do avoid defeat it's time to get excited about operation premiership again

 

[SkyblueDad]

Think we need to be a bit better than we were last night but think we will be, another not lose game.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

See me after class

ffs, I even went back and edited it and somehow did the wrong one

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Watching the game on Sky they are 3-0 and look a very good side. It will be a big test, but one we should be looking forward too. And I certainly we take a draw, that's for sure!!

The winger Burns looks really good.
Millwall look awful though.

Must win

Didn’t he turn us Down for Ipswich last season?

 

[long way home]

Watching them tonight they like throwing bodies forward and look like they want to keep recycling the ball high up the pitch to keep you pinned back. We have to try to cut out the crosses and win 2nd balls, especially round the edge of the box.

I cant see Robins changing anything shape or team, he will hope we can frustrate them set traps to break quick and exploit the space they tend to leave behind. We need a perfect away performance to get pts from this one, id take a draw now if offered.

 

[Matt smith]

I think we’ll win Saturday


Got that feeling again

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Gonna be a difficult game.

Simms in for Godden.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Just watched the highlights of Ipswich vs Millwall. This is going to be tough. Will take a draw for sure if given. Their players are in a real groove at the moment and seem to know where to take up positions during their attacks with a lot of one touch passes and quick forward movement (instead of passing it sideways and all the way back like us). We need to catch them on the counter in this match and I think playing 1 upfront may be the most prudent way to approach this game.

 

[Paxman II]

Stiffle their midfield and nick it 1-0. One up top. Can't see Ipswich sustaining their run much longer.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

A team that likes to press high and throw players forward is playing right into being counter attacked, which has been our style for the last few seasons and now the last few games.

It’ll be very hard to play out from the back without getting caught out but that aside I think we may cause a surprise here assuming players are sufficiently recovered fitness wise. Goals for both sides with the more clinical one to win.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Last 17, they have won 16 and lost one at home. Doing something right! That said, I was at Ipswich the day we 'won' the league (pre Cov-id lockdown) and so have fond memories of that place. Time to burst their bubble (nice club, though)

 

[Offhegoes]

Happy they won last night, and they will think it will be an easy 3 points on Sat. I am sure Robins will be working on a plan now to beat them. Should be a really good game. 2 in-form teams.

 

[PVA]

That Conor Chaplin guy looks quite good

 

[Macca1987]

Think we had his brother Charlie when playing for us

 

[Philosoraptor]

 

[Esoterica]

I think it’s going to be a counter attacking masterclass. 3-1. Wright, Simms and Allen.

 

[Sick Boy]

Think we had his brother Charlie when playing for us

He was a very decent player with us but wasn’t used properly.

 

[BananaFlats]

Just watched their highlights from last night. Really noticeable how much quicker they move the ball in and around the box compared to us. Like others have said, a draw will be a decent result on Saturday.

 

[Macca1987]

Agree Sick boy, mine was very tongue in cheek. We seem do do that with strikers a lot

 

[pusbccfc]

We still made a profit didn't we?

But have they tried moving it around two of the top tacklers in the league, Sheaf and Eccles?

 

[covboy9]

We will get chances on the counter if we can avoid being overwhelmed we’ll do well

Good game for us to play on the break. Direct balls to Wright and Sakamoto when we turn it over. A little less playing out for me. Not against these away anyway.

 

[covboy9]

Play simms up top on his own and get runners around him

Fully agree. Simms has to start for Godden.

 

[Como]

I assume we will be under the kosh, which may be better for a goal chance and would happily take a point.

An interesting game, still not sure I understand how they have done so well.

Good team spirit ( like us ) no divas plus no one had played them from the Champ except for the other two

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Stiffle their midfield
