Most teams go to Ipswich and sit back.
We cant and wont do that which will their attacking players a chance.
Think Asante being missing in a weird way is good thing...as we have only one fully fit striker ..meaning an extra midfielder Eccles will be playing.
MVE, Thomas, Kitching, Da Silva...
I think season we will see about 3/4 teams trying to get that 2nd spot. And thwy will be close. Can see 3/4 teams finshing on 78/83 pts. 2nd place 8mid eighties and winners 90 plus.
Play off will be minimum 75 points really high this year and an almighty battle.
Its in our advantage as we got...
Will take monumental drop off from the last 12 months form to not get to 85 pts.
We are more than half way there with a few games in hand before we even get to half way stage.
Im looking from point of view of third place team..currently Millwall.
Cant see them getting 1.93 ppg to get to 85 points. Not on their current form.
Everyone else practically 2ppg and above.
Thats not even taking into consideration goal difference.
So basically 1.5ppg will get us to 85...
Whats the most we have taken up north midweek? This has got to be close another record.
We have taken 3/ 4 k up north on a saturday..cant think of too many midweek.
Looking likely then the FA cup 3rd round weekend. At worst he will be back for leicester at home on 17th Janaury.So he will miss Birmingham away on 4th January.
