I think it more likely that they just have a lot of cheats in their team and they are fooling officials with it, rather than a bias towards them
I mean you're probably entirely correct but then it's the ref's job to look at who they're reffing.

If Ipswich have been conning pens in certain situations all season then they should be paying extra close attention and not falling for the same trick.

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, McGree and Casteldine live in an oxygen tent for the next few weeks to do our best to overcome the regular injury crisis we have every season, ready for the playoffs.
All very well but you need to try and compete for home advantage on the second league. So it's still all to play for

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'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)
Tough one. I think Ipswich in a final.

If you finish 5th I'd imagine you will likely get Millwall in a semi?

I think you could take Ipswich over 1 game in a final.

They have done the double over Birmingham too. A gift of a penalty in the 94th minute and let us not forget the disallowed goal in play in the reverse fixture.

You’ve answered your own question really. You have already beaten Ipswich over two legs this season, Southampton in a one off at Wembley anything can happen.

Just as Sunderland fluked their way past Sheff Utd.

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.

Not so sure on that,think it was either Doug or Frank in interview mentioned it,Doug on talk sport he suggested possibly it may have benitted us to have played the away leg first.
