I'm worried about all of our next 4 games (given our injuries). Already worried about Dickie scoring from a set piece for a game that's third in the sequence. Mad how your brain can take you on strange journeys

Our attack don't 'bail us out' of anything. This is a whole team effort, you simply would not be where we are if it wasn't.Last 3 games 10 goals for...........but 5 against. And Charlton could easily have made that 6
The back 4 is the most stable part of the squad. We all fill in the same 4 names when naming our squads on the match thread. But there is an issue, I'm not sure what it is or how long before the attack cannot bail us out?
Ipswich could be the bridge too far. At the risk of bringing down upon my head the Wrath of Fatso (which sounds like a bad Marvel Comic), I would be more than happy with a draw.
Why the fear factor? Ipswich have scored 3, conceded 2 and 4 points. They’ve only beaten 1 team in the top half (Hull) all season. We’ve both played 7 top half teams, we’ve played 8 with a record of 6-1-1.Last 3 games 10 goals for...........but 5 against. And Charlton could easily have made that 6

I agree, depending on injuries. Hoping some of the rumours flying around are bollocks and it's just BTA out.Why the fear factor? Ipswich have scored 3, conceded 2 and 4 points.

We are not in danger Gibbo, we are the danger!
Just keep over performing until they play them and Southampton.I don’t think they are, they’ll finish Top 3, Boro, Stoke, Millwall and PNE are all over performing and that isn’t likely to be sustained over 46.
YepI agree, depending on injuries. Hoping some of the rumours flying around are bollocks and it's just BTA out.
Surely the biggest bunch of shit cunts to ever get 100 points. Horrible horrible football. Looking forward to being a league above them.Imo the only reason we concede is because we set up to attack and that leaves us a bit more open. I'd rather have our 3-1 wins than Burnley's 1-0s last season.
That is just a cliche - far to simplistic, we have been behind far too often for our own comfort. I bet you Lampard's team are less complacentOur attack don't 'bail us out' of anything. This is a whole team effort, you simply would not be where we are if it wasn't.
High level drivel. Its already been mentioned elsewhere that we've conceded very few from open play, additionally our defenders contribute massively to our attacking play that 'bails them out.'That is just a cliche - far to simplistic, we have been behind far too often for our own comfort. I bet you Lampard's team are less complacent
End of what?We concede because the defence makes basic mistakes. See WBA x 2. End of
Thought Torp was at fault for the Sheff U and Charlton goals. His man beat him on both occasions.We concede because the defence makes basic mistakes. See WBA x 2. End of
10 points clear and we still can't shake off the whiners. We could beat Real Madrid 4-1 in a Champions League final and some dry arse on here would still be moaning we didn't close Mbappe down quick enough for their goal.Thought Torp was at fault for the Sheff U and Charlton goals.

MVE against Boro. Bobby obviously at Boro. Unforced error.
JDS first, Kitch second against WBA.
There is no one player you can say is playing badly at the back.
The way we play means these things happen.
We have the joint second best defence in the league. If you take out the three Wrexham scored, with three quarters of our defence missing, we would be top.
Some people want perfection.
They won't raise their game against us! They already think they are premiership quality and should have enough to blow us away! Don't forget the old saying Ipswich! "Don't poke the bear!"I can see them raising their game against us. This is one of those where you take a draw all day long. I just wonder if he'll go 3 at the back...
I really miss the meltdowns.Yeah meltdown for me too. Quite looking forward to it actually.
Don’t forget the defence is a little weaker because they’re all up the other end which isn’t working out too badly overall.Last 3 games 10 goals for...........but 5 against. And Charlton could easily have made that 6

Tbf the meltdowns next season are going to be on another level.I really miss the meltdowns.
A little bit dramatic?Last 3 games 10 goals for...........but 5 against. And Charlton could easily have made that 6

Or Millwall away, or Middlesbrough away, or Stoke away.....There are some crushingly naive responses above to what seems a pretty obvious point that I made
We concede too many. Doesn't matter if we score more. There is always room for improvement. 3-0 is better than 3-2.
To develop it further. These goals are not as a rule coming from attacking moves, with our defence stretched because we are an attacking team. They tend to be because of an inability to safely clear danger even though the defence is set up.
Not so good if you are facing the likes of PNE and Ipswich away

I think it will be
Rushworth
MVE Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Torp Grimes
Sakamoto Rudoni EMC
Simms
Wilson
Woolfenden
Bidwell
Brau
Allen
Eccles
Andrews
Lati
Wright

You’re hard to please! It’s the best football we’ve seen in decades and the defenders aren’t bat too. Don’t worry about the mighty Preston, it’s Arsenal and Man City next season.There are some crushingly naive responses above to what seems a pretty obvious point that I made

I heard an Ipswich fan saying that they never do well against a back 3. Could be one of those fan theories or maybe there's truth.I can see them raising their game against us. This is one of those where you take a draw all day long. I just wonder if he'll go 3 at the back...
I think if he’s allowed to play we’ll chuck him in from the start, hopefully he is because we missed him on Saturday.Might be a bit early for Sakamoto. The protocols are very strict. Lampard said at the weekend he didn't know, but was hopeful Wright would be back I got the feeling he felt Sakamoto wouldn't be available.
