Play like we did against Accy and we stand a good chance. 

We’ll get beat if we play like we did against Accy. Good result and some real positive aspects to the performance but a lot of bad which we got away with against a very poor side. Can’t afford be as careless in possession against this lot.

But that will be exactly how we play. We'll try to get the ball forward quickly and that will inevitably lead to a lack of possession.

Hopefully we can be good out of possession and drag Ipswich down to Accrington's level.   I'm optimistic.

Cybulski is at Matlock. Grewal-Pollard signed for Belper but hasn’t even been in the squad in the several games since it got announced so not sure what happened there. Belper have also signed Cian Kelly-Caprani from Derby, who started Belper’s draw last night against Radcliffe. 

Ooops, yes my bad on Cybulski, he is at Matlock.

Looking forward to seeing a new era of "Park the Bus, Kick and Rush" live and unexpurgated...?

Bit harsh. We could have to go for a sneaky away win however. Ipswich are expecting a crowd of 29k. They are a medium sized club who have won the 1st division and should not be in the 3rd tier.

I expect they will have more of the ball. Haven’t got a problem with that, but when we have it we need to take better care of it otherwise we risk being overloaded and conceding chances and goals. I don’t believe Warne is all about back to front ASAP, he wants more control from his midfielders he’s said as much in interviews. They are capable. Ultimately we need to play better but it’s understandable as we’re transitioning to a slightly more direct style.

I wonder if Keogh will play

He seems to be their CB sub usually.  If so he'll only play if there's an injury because McKenna uses his subs to refresh the forward players/wing backs.

I really think Liam’s Derby would win this game I think we’d control the game as Ipswich being the home side and up near the top would come at us and be picked off by us 

I want Warne to do well but I’d like us to have more of the ball and control the game more and I just don’t think the 3 centre backs are quick enough to play 352 so I’m not optimistic about this one but of course I’ll be cheering us on very loudly  ? 

ps hope Knight is fit

It's a shame Derby had to drop into the Third League but I get a chance to discuss a game event with it.     Back in 1975 we were the best two "football" clubs in the UK and now look at it, quite a fall away.    Teams of our stature shouldn't really be playing out at this level but we at least now got a real chance of making it back to Championship status by end of season.

We've had two losses just recent.   Lincoln somehow managed a win last weekend and survived some 35 attempts on their goal and still won while Cambridge sneaked a victory in some pointless tournament nonsense a few days back.    The latter wasn't a real concern but some of our fanbase took real issue with it.       The referee was in so many words, 'sub standard'

I get to follow action week in week out without live attendance by way of our fan forums and news items like EADT.     McKenna's done real good put often plays players out of position and favors a constant one in attack.   I'd expect the same for this game, it's not pretty, it's not particularly effective but has got us results.     The defense at times seems shaky and Walton has made some crucial errors just recent but still remains one of the very best goalkeepers outside the top two divisions.

If only McKenna played two or three in attack from the start and allowed say Chaplin Jackson and Aluko to get forward more often, we'd feel more confident in getting the goals to beat opponents.    Portman Road has come alive again this season after years of fans staying away.     Seeing 25,000 + for each fixture now particularly on a Saturday is encouraging but we don't always get the result to reward those who attend.

This is the type of game that will test our promotion credentials.    It's been 20 years since ITFC last featured in the EPL and while we still got another league to get past if or when we're promoted in May in order to make it back, the team at last is on the up and fans are having their best season in some years.     It should be a good event.

Flying in from DK tomorrow @admiraand not in the whatsapp group. Where do you have a pre-match drink? 

The away pub is called the Station hotel, funnily enough it's bang opposite Ipswich train station and only a 2 minute walk from the ground, see you in there later...
