At Portman Road. This shape is SO much better. Game is being played further into their half, we have 4-5 players in their half whenever we get the ball. Amazing the self belief when you play a competitive formation.

Yes.  Despite a few nay-sayers earlier in the thread, I feel this is the best team we could put out today.  A change to 4-4-2, Golbourne back in at LB, a central midfield who can both control and pass as well as hustle, and 2 skillful wingers.  Hopefully these changes bring about a better style and shape.

Here is some cost of living information from 1978 as City last defeated Ipswich at Portman Road on September 23rd that year: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/reports/politics/1978vs2008_20080425.shtml

Additionally, a pint of beer cost 40p, that week's number 1 single was Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc, Boney M topped the album charts with Night Flight to Venus, The Who drummer, Keith Moon passed away two weeks earlier and Grease had been showing in UK cinemas for seven days.

LJ has said it a few times in the past, but it seems to be forgotten or missed, but 442 is his preferred formation. He's obviously felt we are too weak in certain areas, to play it on a consistent basis with the players we have at this very moment in time.
