I wonder what the Ipswich fans thought of Manning’s MK Dons team that lost 3-0 at Portman rd a few months before he was sacked?

Bar the occasional promotion from the third tier, this just about sums up the last 40 years

There was something to build on after Southampton. Sadly all we did is demolish what we’d already built

What a frustrating club we are, glimpses of great football against some good sides but ultimately let down time and time again

Expected this late onslaught but at least two of the goals were very soft

This is as exciting as Saturday was shit

Oh, poor again that.

Felt that was coming

Where did we all disappear too then?

TBF he did do really well there, would have been a great goal

How is that not two??

Leicester (h)

Welcome back Anis

Good to see Cornick get a start. I thought he’d feature more than he has after his Boro first half performance. Its not like anyone else around him has been in undroppable form

Great to see Wells get to the front post, frustrates me how often crosses don’t get past the first defender. Conway often guilty of not making a run to get in front of his man.

You’ve comfortably passed the test, I won’t deduct you a point because it was 2-0 in the home game as everything else was spot on.

It’s over 3 years since we lost a game by more than 4 goals, 6-0 v Watford. A lot of very close games in those 3 years with just a few bad defeats , 6-2 v Fulham, 3-0 v Birmingham spring to mind. No idea what’ll happen tonight but I’m obviously hoping for a win.

Before too many Devonians ask for tickets, some if us are Devon based, SV holders been to 4 away games and still struggling for a ticket.

I was expecting it to start at 8 or 9. Should go to the 6 aways slot but not sure it'll go much further Edit: though if our poor form continues tonight it might help extend the sale period

I can remember the first being down to James, can’t remember the second. Also remember James being at fault against them at Ashton Gate, maybe the same season?

I’m pretty sure that was my only visit there too. I had traveled all the way from southern France via Stansted, probably not much longer than your journey and was excited for the new season, end of August I think. My overriding memory was trying to defend Nicky Hunt on OTIB after the game, I was thinking he was getting more stick than he deserved. Not my finest contribution.

It was almost like someone was saving it for our winning goal, got fed up with waiting and couldn’t be bothered to take it home so just lobbed it on the pitch

I’m expecting a much better performance than the last 3 with some decent attacking play and maybe even a goal. But Ipswich can’t do anything wrong at the moment. They’re riding one of those waves that happen to clubs (not us) once in a blue moon. I predict 3-1

That would only involve 2 scenarios, Leicester to keep losing and Leeds/Ipswich to keep winning. As you go on to say, we should be fine. Lots of clubs would have to have a turn around of fortunes and we only may need 3 or 4 more points
