You’d like to think Ayari is going to start to justify some of the hype that surrounded his arrival

He’ll probably be a good player some day, but probably not for us

Why is everybody surprised
Robins was never going to go with 3 up front
4-5-1 was always on the cards

 

[Great_Expectations]

Trying to be optimistic; keep it tight for 60 mins, then unleash Simms, Sakamoto and Godden (depending how Wright is playing) on for width and fresh legs.

Maybe MR has packed it with footballers to try and play through then? No idea.

Seems very narrow and lacking pace though and COH look’s miles off fitness wise and Ayari match awareness wise!

 

[steve101]

At least Ipswich will have not prepared for this!!

 

[Essexrobbie]

I wonder of Robins asks Sakamoto is and whether he's up for playing and it something gets lost in translation. Every time we've started with him he puts the opposition on the back foot with his directness. I would have had him on even if it was only for the first 20 mins just to stir things up a bit and give us the initiative.

Good opportunity for him today.

 

[Offhegoes]

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,

I thought he looked quality on his first start at Hull but he’s been anonymous in his appearances since then.
Happy that we’re switching it up though, Robins obviously has a game plan

 

[wingy]

I'm saying Allen will score, don't know if we'll win.

 

[shmmeee]

Hmm

Got a weird feeling it’s a 4411

A very narrow one.

Eccles and Ayari wide?

Honestly don’t know. 4231 with Ayari wide left and Allen wide right?

 

[AOM]

Where fadz ????

Unwell. It's why Moore is a late change for the bench according to CWR

 

[Cally Fedora]

At a basic level O’Hare is not fit and shouldn’t be starting. Ayari? Yet to see anything from him that warrants a place. I’d rather have strung 4 across the midfield and stuck Simms up with Wright to keep them occupied.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Also, we need Wright to play like he did AFTER he scored in the week, not like he was before.

 

[Tommo1993]

Think this could be uncomfortable at best.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Also why on earth is there 2 keepers on the bench

Given Ipswich's goalscoring record I suspect that, if we go a goal up, MR will want to play two goalkeepers.

 

[Blind-Faith]

James Scowcroft is on the Ipswich TV channel doing the pre match, age has not been kind to him and also makes me feel bloody old! Seems like a decent bloke though tbf

Didn't even realise it was him.

Doug ,"Hi mum"

Allen to a job on their left back? Bombs forwards and gets a decent amount of assists. Leaves O hare and Ayari in a bit a free role.

 

[Nick]

Never understood when you have to walk a mile from the tunnel!

 

[shmmeee]

5-1 ipswich. Final prediction

 

[Blind-Faith]

Didn't even realise it was him.

Neither did I, until they called him “scowy” and then the penny dropped

 

[Nick]

Worried that Morsy is going to bully us in midfield, we are a bit soft.

Especially if he starts going through players like Wright who would apologise to him for the contact from their ankle to his studs.

 

[shmmeee]

What they singing?

 

[Great_Expectations]

No comms on iFollow?

 

[Nick]

Ayari and Ohare look like they are holding hands they are that close.

Trying to figure out the formation.

 

[PVA]

Looks like a narrow 4-2-3-1 on first viewing

 

[Nick]

Collins so calm then under pressure to play a pass.

 

[Nick]

Agree, looks like Allen on the left. O'hare Central and Ayari right.

 

[wingy]

Good move.

 

[wingy]

Mist.could be an issue later

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not a fan of the line up really, hope we get away with it.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Oh and I’ve watched them a few times this season, they call Chaplin , Chappers on the comms and it really is fucking irritating

 

[Nick]

Their number 2 looks like a hencher Bidwell.
