Lighthouse Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Right, so the plan is we lose this one (and Leeds) thus ensuring the maximum possible chance of Ipswich dropping into the playoffs. Ipswich then lose to Norwich in the semi final, meanwhile we beat an out of sorts West Brom, kill Phil (sorry Phil), win the final, then go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over. 5 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich have only lost 6 games all season if they’re in the play offs they’ll be massive favourites. Bit of a pointless game for us now, Leicester will probably win after we miss loads of chances then concede a soft goal which will put them within touching distance of promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the play offs that’s my thinking entirely. We’ll lose 2-0. Not a lot of creation from our end, and a consolation from RM that the boys have been brave all season and just ran out of steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintant Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Can't see us winning this one after screwing up yesterday as players will be in the wrong mindset. A win yesterday and I'd have fancied us. Downes will probably not play due to his 'slight knock' and with Stu also out the midfield will be weak. Limp towards the play-offs and I hope we'll give ourselves a fighting chance come the second leg at St Marys. If we make it to Wembley it's about performing on the big day rather than bottling it and we'll likely need a slice of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osvaldorama Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 It’s a ‘big’ game so our bottle jobs will miss countless chances and then concede a late goal or two, same as every time we have a chance to do something good. Man… supporting this club really sucks the joy out of you at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Even if we take the lead we’ll implode in the second half and the idiot will make things worse. Probably play Stephens again whilst leaving Charles on the bench. I don’t hate the manager, he might be a nice bloke, but I hate him as our manager. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coalman Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 To be fair to Martin he's accepted that THB and Bednarek are our best centre back pairing (now watch him out in Stephens). Now he's got to get his head around needing more steel in midfield. He's got the team creating lots of chances. We still allow too many in return. Nothing the manager can do about our ability to finish though worth noting that both Edozie and Fraser have significantly outperformed their expected goals. I would be tempted to play both instead of Adam Armstrong and Brooks. Both can run their fullbacks ragged. McCarthy KWP THB Bednarek Mannjng Aribo. Downes. Charles Edozie. Adams. Fraser 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I think that game will be a battle of who finishes 3rd Don't do it to yourself! It was over once we lost to Ipswich away (And the two home games against Hull/Millwall). That meant we put ourselves in a position where we needed to win every game - we couldn't even afford to draw. We can only get 94 points now (seems a bit odd saying only!), Leicester are already on 91 and Ipswich are on 89. Definitely time to really forget about it now. We have consistently been 6 or more points away from the top 2 most of the season, as soon as we get a sniff we choke and it's back to 6+ points again. Leeds are struggling a bit to finish 2nd now imo. Big game for them tomorrow, can at least watch that without putting pressure on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 We want Leeds and Leciester out of this division next season, so by that very basis (unless Leeds lose tonight), I wouldn't be massively upset with a defeat.. which we will, because we have no bottle. FWIW - Really not impressed with Leciester, they look a pretty average side. What they do have is match winners and fight, as shown Saturday. 2-1 foxes.
