Form guide says "no", but wouldn't surprise me if we beat them.

We’re getting slapped. Would rather he sacrifice this game for a feel good last hurrah on Saturday tbh.

First things first, do not play anyone carrying any sort of injury. No point risking them and make sure they're going to be fit for pre-season training.
2nd, don't play anyone that won't be here next year. Kelly, Godden and O'Hare etc. can say their goodbyes against QPR.
3. Give the youngsters who will be here next year a place on the bench. Not sure about Lusala, but probably Stretton and Andrews. Get Kain Ryan in there too, and maybe the likes of Dausch, Perry and Betjemann, possibly Siddall if they're going to get pro deals. Not really expecting anything from them, but might as well give them some matchday experience and an incentive to work on their development.
Given those constraints picking a team in nigh on impossible, though I'll go 2-1 Ipswich scoreline.

Not sure we have a choice!

I’d start the players leaving in these last two. I’m quite worried about one of our key players getting a nasty injury.
Plus I would like to celebrate one last Matty Godden goal in sky blue, if the rumours are true.

Which??

That he’s out the door this summer. I expect he is but still contracted for another year so I assume we’ll want a fee for him.

Is the gel going a bit crusty?That form is shocking

Think it's a combination of the FA Cup semi final and small squad. Was definitely an element of taking our eye off the ball prior to the semi. Following the semi injuries (and now suspension) have left us playing players who haven't had a look-in in months.

Definitely some truth in this. But the defence has got increasingly poor despite no significant injuries. It needs some more first team quality.

I'm not looking forwards to this one. Our form has been shocking lately and now we have nothing to play for how will the players be up for it?

Like Robins said, we don’t want another team celebrating promotion at our home. That should be our motivation.

Ipswich have all to play for and will be up for it. We are the walking wounded and weary and are in poor form. That's a bad combo.

Collins needs a decent game, Dasilva is playing well, the rest of the defence picks itself as the only fit players. Ditto Kelly and Eccles in the middle. I’d go full rest everyone and player O’Hare Allen and Palmer behind Godden or 4222 with Godden and Simms if Simms wants his 20. Wright I’d rest as he’ll likely be playing internationals over the summer. Maybe find a way to rest MvE for half a game.

He had a decent game on Saturday, TBF.

He did. Just feel he needs games more than rest is all I mean.
Ipswich can't go up tomorrow even with a win.

I need to clean my glasses; at first glance I thought you were suggesting playing Dion Kelly-Evans

Club says it’s expecting 26,500 which is decent. Can see a fair few ST and kids staying at home for this one. 8PM kick off too.
True just a few Leeds fans I know hate Cov so would like just to piss them off.But yes can't see Ipswich with a big promotion push next year.

He did to be fair, I'd still punt him and the other 2 Chuckle brothers
Why? There is nothing hanging on this game for us in terms if this season.
Obviously play a relatively strong team but not anyone who needs a rest and it's an opportunity to try things out and give some experience any youngsters we think might be good enough long term. Preparation for next season should start now.
