Slightly concerned. O'Hare has looked rusty and not up to match speed, Wright has looked much better playing off the left rather than up front on his own and Ayari has looked...well....he hasn't.
As ever, in MR we trust so I won't judge until I see it in action.

I can only think that Tats is being rested or has a minor ni as why else would Ayari start ahead of him ?
If that's the case I can't see it ending well.

“Tatsu came off because he had a knock on Saturday and I felt that he was sort of starting to tire in the game.”
INTERVIEW: Mark Robins on Plymouth result, back to back wins and a third consecutive clean sheet
Mark Robins was pleased with the way his side worked, as they picked up three points against Plymouth Argyle.

I also think Wright is finding his groove on the left so to stick him back in the middle, if that's what is happening, seems odd.

Atleast try and make it less obvious that you’re shitting yourself Mark.

We may have O’Hare, but unfortunately we also have Ayari. He must be fucking brilliant in training because he is shite on a match day,

Send him back if that’s the case.

Though given their biggest threat issupposed to be their LB/LWB maybe O'Hare's been tasked with tracking him when we're out of possesion, maybe?

Honestly think we should be taking the game to them, they’re so tricky to play against and can score goals from almost nothing. The likes of a rusty O’Hare and a not-as-good-as-we-all-hoped Ayari doesn’t seem like a team with attacking intent. I don’t want to be pessimistic, I was really up for this game but I’m genuinely disappointed with Robins’ selection there.

Because there is a lot more to it than just having the right role for one player? Given that Ipswich is free scoring at home it seems understandable

Just seen the lineup, and it reminds me of those times we're down to the bare bones and have to go a bit makeshift. There was a time having O'Hare back would have made me excited, but right now it's confusing me! How times change.

Robins must think he has, we'll see.
I might be wrong that that's what he's been asked to do but just a theory.
The only theory I can offer for Ayaris inclusion if the phone call from Brighton that others have mentioned!

There has to be a tactical reason behind the changes, centre of the park is going to be a bit crowded

It's clearly 2 10's behind a striker and a flat midfield. It's a tough test today, I can see the thinking although ayari maybe doesn't have the tactical mind to pull it off.

Good question, maybe ill/personal issue overnight, would explain two GK on bench.

People panicking over the team selection, clearly tactical, and will need the extra midfielders today, play Cal and Yasin off Wright and play on the counter attack, clear we won't have the ball as much as Ipswich at home. Will have to be smart and effective in our attacking play, can't afford to waste chances.

It's difficult to know how we'll cope with only seven outfield substitutes on the bench.

Bizarre starting lineup, Sakamoto has been excellent in the last couple of games playing in his correct position. Ayari has been dreadful so far so don’t get why he starts today.

Unchanged at the back (and holding midfielders) which is the important thing. I think the front 4 are pretty interchangeable. Whether it's a 3&1 or 2&2, I don't think it'll make a big difference.
Pack the midfield and play on the counter.

The MVE-Eccles-Saka link-up on the right was looking very promising.
To put the kid back in at the tip of that is puzzling, unless there's an injury.
Ohare for Godden I can understand if he's doing it in training, especially with todays opponents in mind
