And both times equal out all time record.
So unusual that if we beat Ipswich we will have won 6 on the bounce twice in 13 games
Boro threw everything at us, we handled it very well all things considered. A whole week to prepare for this one hopefully has been put to good use.Will be a tough game. They need to win to gain on us so will be up for it, especially after their last two results. For us though is a great chance to stretch our lead at the top even more, and we seem very determined to win every game
Ipswich will also be thinking more about how to handle us. We’ve scored more away goals than they have at home and our form is a lot better.Boro threw everything at us, we handled it very well all things considered. A whole week to prepare for this one hopefully has been put to good use.

I’m more confident about this fixture than a week ago and don’t think we’ll lose. They’ve beaten one team in the top half so can see why their fans are frustrated.
We have only failed to score twice all season, based on what I’ve seen I back us to find the net again. The issue now is every team raising their game, I expect them to go up a few levels in line with that.Ipswich will also be thinking more about how to handle us.

To be honest based on their performances over the past couple of games in particular it could be early signs that even the lower placed teams are starting to figure them out.
They clearly have a lot of quality in their team but McKenna doesn't seem to know how best to utilise that - hence the chopping and changing of his Starting XI week in, week out - and not to mention they look very predictable in attack.
Defensively, I think our relentlessness in attack will prove too much for them and we'll likely punish the errors they're prone to.

Score draw for me.
If we beat PNE for the first time I haven't been, I'll be simultaneously gutted and ectastic.When I think about things ‘rationally’, I can’t see us losing against anyone atm. I’m leaning towards a 3-2 win but a draw wouldn’t be so bad.
As long as we beat PNE away on Tuesday, I’m ok with that.
I really do believe that this year is the year we break the hoodoo mate.If we beat PNE for the first time I haven't been, I'll be simultaneously gutted and ectastic.
I think some of their issues are the same ones we had last season. We could see our strikers struggle with being constantly chopped and changed and the changing of formations a few times didn’t help.
Imo, Ipswich have the best squad in the league but als coming the view that it’s overkill. Players like Clarke and Akpom would start for just about any other Championship team and it can’t be good for their morale being rotation players.
I've said each season that winning at Deepdale is proof of just that. Particularly with them riding high in the table, midweek after a tough fixture at Ipswich...but this team keeps passing increasingly difficult tests.I really do believe that this year is the year we break the hoodoo mate.
I don’t know about you, just beating PNE away would be symbolic that it is our year and it would be a huge psychological boost for the fans and players.
I’ve said it the last few times too. In fairness, we always seem to play them when we’re not on form. In 22/23, 23/24 and 24/25, our form has been rotten.I've said each season that winning at Deepdale is proof of just that.

Just like Barnsley haven't won in Coventry for over a century now. If we're ever in the same league as them I just chalk up that home fixture as an automatic WI’ve said it the last few times too.

It’s depressingly amusing that we’ve only beaten PNE twice away since 1910. It is our ultimate bogey team, especially away from home.
My first away game was Barnsley. A few of my mates came with and I sold it as ‘we always beat them, easy W’… we lost.Just like Barnsley haven't won in Coventry for over a century now. If we're ever in the same league as them I just chalk up that home fixture as an automatic W
Portman Road is a ground I remember us having a hideous record at and the win we got there in 19/20 was a real statement of where that season was going. Haven't looked but I think that's our only win there this century.My first away game was Barnsley. A few of my mates came with and I sold it as ‘we always beat them, easy W’… we lost.
We’ve generally been a lot better than Barnsley but what’s strange about our Deepdale curse is that most of the time, PNE have been just as bad as us.
One of the reasons we’ve been wronging past ills v WBA, Swansea and a few others last season is because we’re actually a well run club now. The 2000s and 2010s we were a shambles club.
Yep, the double over Ipswich would be a massive statement and from there, I couldn’t imagine us failing the win the title.Portman Road is a ground I remember us having a hideous record at and the win we got there in 19/20 was a real statement of where that season was going.

Would be a similar statement in my mind to win there Saturday.

Lampard doesn’t give a fuck about the head to head records against the other teamsAbsolutely honking record against Ipswich one of the reasons I’m not overly confident.
Last time we won away at Ipswich, things turned out pretty well…Absolutely honking record against Ipswich one of the reasons I’m not overly confident.
Did we win in the cup there that season or was it at home?Portman Road is a ground I remember us having a hideous record at and the win we got there in 19/20 was a real statement of where that season was going. Haven't looked but I think that's our only win there this century.

Won there in the cup and league in 19/20. I may be wrong but I had it down as a bogey ground for a long time.Did we win in the cup there that season or was it at home?
I am sure we won there under Boothroyd
Yes, we won 2-1 and our record ant Portman Road isn’t that bad all things considered; 3-0-3.Did we win in the cup there that season or was it at home?

Yeah I think you're right generally. I remember when Ipswich got relegated in the mid 90s, they were awful (the team that lost 9-0 at old Trafford), we played there late season and lostWon there in the cup and league in 19/20. I may be wrong but I had it down as a bogey ground for a long time.
It was pre the L1 seasonWon there in the cup and league in 19/20. I may be wrong but I had it down as a bogey ground for a long time.
Chris Coleman I thinkIt was pre the L1 season
I have only been the once, but I seem to remember a televised game night game there the season Andy Thorn was the manager where we were battered and us scoring last kick of the game to concede straight after which iirc was one of Roy Keane's first games as their manager
Used to whip them,4-5 Goals often until that game under Mowbray.Just like Barnsley haven't won in Coventry for over a century now. If we're ever in the same league as them I just chalk up that home fixture as an automatic W

I read this post and wondered where the usual Otis joke was. It felt strange to not see one.Unfortunately, that's my prediction. A 2-1 defeat.
I feel we could be missing some key players.
If I knew Wright, Saka and Rudoni were all good to go, I might be a little more optimistic.
Just very nervous about this one.
