The Official Ipswich Town Thread

I'm going to the Charlton game.

Got to get my ticket numbers up.....

(Crosses fingers)

[CVM]

Tempted to go, but the hangover will be too bad and I've been to the last couple so the mrs will get the hump!

[CVM]

Hangover has made the decision for me. Pain stops play.

Anything less than 3 points today will be disappointing.

Expectation is a dangerous thing.

[davemac250]

I feel like death.

And my seat is in the rain.

Joy.

[dirty boy]

Sounds like a disappointing match?

The minute we missed that pen, you just know it's going to go 1-1 don't you?

Listening in on the radio was commentators curse "luckily Charlton don't look like scoring"

Hopefully the penalty miss won't affect his confidence and he won't go through a barren spell like a lot do.

Still, playing not particularly well and picking up points, unbeaten....all good signs.

[davemac250]

Second game in a few weeks for me, and another one that was a poor performance.

Maybe I'm a jinx...

[CVM]

Stop going.

Ive broken my jinx and we seem to win every time I go now.

Who wants to chip in for my tickets for the next 23 games?

[davemac250]

Here's a shocker.

I went to my first home game in the 70's. I go to a few games every year. Sometimes more than a few.

The Crystal Palace match was the first game town have scored at the end I've sat at.

[CVM]

Bloody hell. Keep the fk away!!

[davemac250]

I have no idea why I put palace.

It was the Watford game!

(I did have a season ticket in the Britania stand though.)

It's only when I sit in North or Churchmans. (Sorry, I cannot get used to the 'new' names!

[ArmaghMan]

Wheels wagon off fallen.

[CVM]

Yeah. Taken a bit of a dip recently. Can't get too down about it though as still 10th.

I'm not one to panic and start calling for MMs head. We were always going to slip up.

Onward and upwards!

Good battling display yesterday to end the win drought. It just shows how tight it is when we jump back to 7th and only 2 points of the playoffs with our first win in about 4!

We are in with a shout at this stage, so good stuff.

It just shows that we can do it against the better teams.

In mick we trust!

[ArmaghMan]

A point at Leeds. I'll take that

Me too.

Next fixtures...

Sat 1 Feb Bolton Wanderers (H) still very inconsistent DB VERDICT - Home Win

Sat 8 Feb Barnsley (A) 2nd bottom, but easy enough to slip up against DB VERDICT - Away Win

Sat 15 Feb Blackpool (H) 2 points from last 8 games...relegation battle ahead, but new man in charge, so will be tough DB VERDICT - Home Loss

Sat 22 Feb Leicester City (A) Won 8 on the trot DB VERDICT - Easy 3 Points

Good point indeed.

Always a hard place to go.

We now need to make a push for some consist et results over the next 3. We won't take anything from Leicester. But then, nobody does!

Hey, they've got to lose at some point.

There's a real possibility of 9 points in next 3 games. Won't happen, but it's possible.

We always slip up when least expected. Probably lose the next three and beat Leicester

[dirty boy]

Swansea reported to be after Diddsy!!!

If we lose him, we're SCREWED.

Tunnicliffe i'd be a bit gutted about, but he's only a loan player, so won't be overly upset.

[CVM]

I know. It would be devastating. I don't think MM would let him go at this point. But we'll see.

[CVM]

Another good battling 3 points.

Next up Barnsley. I'll be there. Hoping for a good goal haul.
