For those who mocked me for saying we’d have 11 points by the end of October…. I’m still confident!

If Man City have points deducted, Brighton look a serios bet for the title this season.

Top scorers and joint best defence with Arsenal. They have both conceded 5 goals, and Brighton scored 3 of them. Arsenal have only scored 11 and Brighton have got 23. +18 after only 7 games.

We're looking good for 11 points or more, but your predictions have all been wrong so far. Win against Brighton? 😆

Too many years spent reading tips from @Sky_Blue_Daz 😂😂 Not sure anyone saw how good Brighton would be this season. We were no where near as bad as the meltdowns suggested.

We were on top when they scored their second. Then we got the red card. They had 7 shots on target for 5 goals and we had 6 shots on target for 0. 2 saves against 6. We still had the most touches in the box.

We also were unlucky against Manchester City, yet many still have us as relegation favourites 🤔 We're not as bad as many think.

It would be too biased for any fan of any of the 3 to even try. Even if I tried not to it probably would be. Personally from Hull the only one I'd have is the keeper. Ipswich I'm sure there's a few but I cba to properly think about it.

Would take Belloumi as well. Can Rudoni play LW? If he can I'd take him there

Yea looks about right, Da Silva would push Davies pretty close at left back I think.
 
Problem is your as strong as your weakest link.

Our weakest link is our keeper...which is suicide in this league.
 
Suicide he's that bad. What's happened to him. What a cop out to say it didnt cost after in 95th minute.
 
I can't comment on Palacios as I've barely seen him play. For that matter I'm struggling to come to a conclusion about some of our players (as some have barely played any part this season) and I've been to every match, bar the Plymouth game,. Maybe wrong, but I'm hoping the team will eventually include more of Gus/Torp (instead of Grimes?), Mifuni and at some point, the naughty French lads.
 
Difficult to tell 7 games in really isn't it? I'm really happy with our CB pairing along with Rudoni and i think Cherif will be class, but if you told me you prefer the Ipswich full backs or CMs then i wouldn't really argue with it right now. Rushworth is letting us down a bit atm but then Ipswich have had to drop their first choice keeper too. Hull keeper is so far clear.

Obviously no denying Tzolakis is well clear on the GK spot. Palacios however has been absolutely brilliant at winning the ball and working it up the pitch. So press resistant as well. Definitely our best player so far this season at least
 
Id like to see a team with tchaouna and gboho in the starting 11 , with cherif up top and possibly mfuni starting and onyeka starting in midfield before i talk about how good we can be .

I think we are leaving alot on the bench and on the naughty step

I couldn't agree more. I don't think we've seen our best team yet.

Keeping him fit will have a big impact one way or the other on Ipswichs' season you would think.
 
Wasn't sure where to put but as its Hull vs Ipswich this thread made sense. Watch the Hull goal to make it 1-1, I think it might be some of the worst defending you'll ever see at this level. Bizarre 😂

Ipswich can score goals which stands them in good stead tbf.. but if they dry up they will have serious issues

I think they'll stay up just about, they score plenty. Cannot defend though and that one there is awful.
