reddogkev Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Saturday was dreadful, we all know it, we've all said it. Time to put that one to bed and never mention it again; so looking ahead to Saturday, I can see our 2nd win of the season.I expect a carbon-copy of the game against Boro - a cheeky 1 - 0 City win against an Ipswich side who will be a little too confident that they can exploit our 'weaknesses'.We'll surprise them, and put in a stubborn display at the back, much to the displeasure of Pitman, but probably to the secret delight of Skuse - who must still have a soft spot for his old club and long for a day when he might pull on the red shirt of BCFC once more.So, let's be positive for a change, and look forward to another away win.Kodjia will score his fifth of the season.On another note, how many going to the game?

reddogkev Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hopefully their minds will still be at Old TraffordThat's a bloody good point, they've got the little matter of a tricky midweek game in Manchester.

Wanderingred Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's a pretty long shot that we'll get anything but not completely beyond the realms of possibility. We seem to be marginally more solid away than at home with 4 of our 5 points so far coming on the road as well as our two best performances of the season (Boro and Preston)Ipswich seem to be a bit of a physical long ball side under McCarthy (the total opposite to how they always were in the past!) so we'll need to be strong and up for a scrap. Flint could be a key player! Concede early again and we'll get turned over... keep it tight until the break and we have a chance of nicking something.

rockinredrobin Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hopefully their minds will still be at Old TraffordI hope we do beat them too as the maths probably tells us that 50 pts will be needed for safety - given we would then need 45 more pts from 38 matches we need to ( on average) get into a trend of WDL every 3 games and the longer we take to get into that trend the harder that ask will become problem is based on the 4 home games I have seen so far we don't look like winning and drawing 2 of our next 3!

'Orns Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 In my head a 6-1 (?) mauling at Portman Road was the turning point for the first season back in the Championship under GJ, similar time of year too - maybe a week or two into October?I'll settle for it being a turning point this year too, without the scoreline though please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Its been 37 years since we won a League game at Portman Road. On Saturday September 23, 1978, Tom Ritchie dispatched a penalty in a 1-0 victory. And if like me you're lucky enough to own a copy of The Spirit of '76 DVD, it's there in glorious black and white, plus Kevin Mabbutt's hat-trick at Old Trafford and nearly every other City goal during the 1978/79 season.

Since the Sept. '78 win we've played them 22 times, won 5, drawn 5, lost 12., including an FA Cup defeat and, as you say, all the wins at AG.

If I had to bet on it I'd have said that was the game Fonts finally scored...maybe he got an OG!I can tell you the pain was real and deep; the biggest ever defeat i have suffered in the flesh. It was raw, i felt like crying but i didn't and it left a knot in my stomach all the way back to London where i was living at the time. I did not even have anybody with me that day... I just remember putting the music on and tried to forget football. I think i even stopped and had some rare and crap junk comfort food on the way back. Somehow it helped as i recall.

Barry Sheene Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 We had Gary Rowett and Steve Clarke telling us that they basically won the recent games by sussing out our very limited tactics.Wouldn't it be nice if Cotts was smiling in his aftermatch interview on Saturday saying we knew they were going set up this way so i set my team up to stop them doing this and thanks for the thrree points mick!
