I am a Ipswich supporter and just came on to ask how many points you thought you’d get/need. I’ve looked at our fixtures after the game today and think we’ll get at least 88. It’s going to be tight. I think we’ll both go up although that late Boro goal last night had shades of when we went up a couple of years ago and Leeds fans were convinced right until the last 3 or 4 games that the wheels would come off for us.
Southampton are in a right mess it looks like.
Still worried about parachute teams. But no doubt they are having a nightmare
I still see all away games as tough. Rarely turn my nose up at an away point.
Your away form aside from the one game your lads chose to turn up for is honking, so February is a big month for all 3.
Same
It is. We were poor for the first few months of the season but we’re looking much better now and squad depth will play a big part. We’ll lose a few between now and the end of the season but I think we’ll get more than 40 points from the last 20 games.
All depends on whether or not you can turn around the away form which has been generally very poor. Flat track bullies at home though.
There was a typo in my earlier message. Should have said 40 (now corrected). Ageed and I think we will improve away. We’re a more settled team now. A lot of changes in the summer.
Ultimately we'll have to wait and see, Ipswich's away form has been poor for quite some time. As for your original question, earlier in the season I'd have put mid 80s as enough for an automatic promotion spot.
Boro is a winnable game and 3 points here puts in a v strong position.
A lot can happen in a month but if the situation doesn’t change much by then, it’s a must not lose rather than a must win.
It's a bit, how can I say, time to reinforce/reinstall our approach to the matches, dominance.
Haven't Ipswich got about 4 away games on the bounce including the cup. Wrexham away twice in 7 days is tough. They rise up for the big teams/games.
I did exactly the same.
I just hope we show some more confidence in ourselves at home. We spent the first half showing too much respect, playing too hesitantly and not playing to our strengths.
But it was 10 after the last game, I see what you done there.
Nerves
It’s 5 in February - Portsmouth, Derby, Watford and Wrexham in the league with Wrexham in the cup too. Tough but I think we’ll still be close to the top two at the end of February. Norwich away and then Boro at home in mid-April stand out as the games that will be pivotal.
