We also took 4 points off Saints, aggregate score 5-1. The 4 nil was under Tonda too. Recent form however is the nightmare. With Millwall and Hull, it's 3 points apiece, but we did at least beat Millwall 4-2 on aggregate score and Hull 4 - 1.

It's a tough one, would we rather face Red hot Saints or Ipswich + the ref? Tbf we've done pretty well getting 4 points off the 12 men on aggregate this season (yes, they had a penalty against us in the first match between us as well)

Tbh, being at home doesn't actually matter much for us of late, so I don't find myself caring about that too much really.

Here's 2 other ways of looking at it too, in pertinence to the race for 2nd; Ipswich have been awarded more penalties this season than Millwall, Saints and Boro combined. Boro have conceded as many penalties this season as Ipswich, Millwall and Saints combined.

It'll be Millwall hopefully. Our best hope is the playoffs now, today was the last chance saloon and we blew it. I'd personally go all out to get a result against Wdnesday, then play the kids in our last 2 matches, wrap evey one of our vital players in cotton wool for them and have Hackney...

Nah, they need the referee's association as their cheatcode.

It's worse than that. Ipswich have nearly double the penalties given to the second team. And we're also far out in front of the team in second for the most conceded. Give us the usual metric for conceding and we'd be in the driving seat for the autos now. Give Ipswich the usual metric for...

We've had less possession in this game tbf. But 8 out of our 9 shots have been on target. We really ought to try that more often.🤔

We're also missing McGree, to a lesser extent Casteldine and Whittaker has been absent too. The mdifield seriously weakened puts more pressure on the defence, which overall wasn't too shabby at all previously.

It seems like the obvious solution, but it isn't, because his scoring would be greatly reduced up front. He's slightly built and would be barged over easily by defenders in the thick of a box melee before he got to the ball. His strength is timing his runs to reach the edge of the box, then...

I haven't much hope for us in today's game if I'm honest. The Tractors at home where they're usually immense, virtually injury free. Us without our best (Hackney) and second best (McGree) players and creators through injury, our only man showing a spark of scoring before his injury (Casteldine)...

They're the exact same with us. Apart from a few who admit they hate us.🤣

It's certainly a school of thought. It can also be noted that in sharp contrast to our senior side, our Under18s in the U18's Premier League are completely ripping it up, having accumulated 2.1 PPG from the 10 games since Valentine's Day, scoring goals for fun, culminating in the 9-nil...

Don't think we'll get anything at Portman Road tbh. The focus for us is getting our players who have been injured for a while back and scraping together 3 points in our last 4 games that should overwhelmingly likely be enough for the playoffs, providing we manage a point against Wrexham. Still...

Aye, he's alright tbf.

That's what we are focused firmly on tbf. Doing all the permutations already, assuming we lose the other 3 games, will a result against Sheff Wed likely be enough to hold onto 6th? As bonkers as that would have sounded even a few weeks ago.

Yes, but you didn't climb to second then get Vertigo, you dropped to second and therein lies the differemce.

It certainly is. Especially given the score at Fratton Park at the mo.😳 Perhaps Pompey's smash and grab against us has given them a shot in the arm, who knows?🤔 Or maybe second place has a magic bottle factor to it, we bottled it, then Millwall immediately did, the same may happen to the...

You have to laugh. Pompey's goal was their only shot on target all game, it was covered by Brynn, but took a lucky deflection off a lad trying to get out of the way that sent the ball the wrong way. Their player was clearly offside and even the scorer was a lad called C Chaplin Ffs. You...

They aren't unbeatable (even at home) but we on the other hand are very beatable right now. It's more or less a challenge to Ipswich if they can score past us in 90 minutes, as though we'll have 30 odd shots and an xG of 2+ we're not going to score whatsoever. Walton will also have the absolute...
