If we go long we will bypass their midfield which likes to press very high. Their defence isnt the best do I reckon he’ll surprise everyone and play godden wright and simms as a front three and go long.

If, big if, we win this, we will make play offs. Its a free hit in many ways as i do see this season as a transitional one anyway so if we lose, then so be it, good luck to Ipswich and hope they win the league. Draw or win though, and i think we have to believe great times are coming and therefore stop the whining when we have blips.

I too would like Simms for Godden.

If they play a high line and we are playing pure counter attacking football then Simms pace and hold up play will suit us better.

However I doubt it’ll happen and if anything Sakamoto will be dropped for Simms.

Feeling confident on this one; one great performance, one average but solid performance and three without a loss - it’s coming together and confidence will be building in the camp too.

They’re not going to get the level of chances they have been sticking away against us.

We’ll win this one and then the Ipswich slide will begin.

Only takes a few teams to work them out and then confidence will disappear.

We really do have the formation and players to cause them massive problems.

Shagged a bird from Ipswich once, not the type that flies - she was far too fat. 2-1 City, Wright to finally take flight.

If I was a betting man, which I am unfortunately (bastard Bet365), then I’d be going for both teams to score and Ipswich to score from outside the box, not sure which way the result will go but I’d be amazed if Ipswich don’t score at least 1 goal. They take on a lot of long-range shots and are good at it, something our defence hasn’t faced yet. A lot of the opposition we’ve faced has been poor at long-range shooting so it’ll be an interesting game for sure. Just hope we can take our chances this game, I personally think we’ll need to be scoring at least 2-3 goals to win this.

Agreed, I’d keep the rest of the team exactly the same but I’d like to see Simms leading the line on Saturday.

I was trying to think of goals we’ve scored this season from outside the box but could only think of Van Ewijk free kick and an own goal. Any more?

Definitely Simms for Godden. I like Matty but he's far too slow for what needs to be a perfect counter-attacking performance.

Too hot for thermals on coach, so rolled up in coat pocket, then a Superman style change in the pub in Ipswich before setting off to the ground.

We need to keep them out early doors / first half. If we do you feel like it's set up perfectly for us to get a win.

I’ve eyed this game up for a while as one I think we’ll win.

I don’t really like overhyped clubs and feel Ipswich is still in that bracket. At some point I feel they’ll drop off and hoping we’re the team to give them a bloody nose.

Will be a tough fixture!

Our defence do seem to back off alot and Eccles and Sheaf are not great at marking in and around the box.

Leif Davis from left back is the main source of chance creation for them, miles ahead of anybody else. Not sure if that's all open play or whether he takes set pieces or not.

Not travelling mate. Unless they're going to add him in the next 20 mins before they set off - him and Palmer not in the squad at all.

Ipswich are a good side who attack swiftly on the counter attack and good at finding men in the box and have a number who can convert chances.

I would be very happy with a draw.
