Me neither. There are four players on the bench who’d be in my starting line-up.

Mine too, but most of them didn't perform on Friday, so...

Even if we lose today, we could be celebrating FGR getting relegated which would make my whole weekend!

Regarding the team, we are unlikely to get anything this afternoon and a few of the players probably need a bit of a rest rather than another game 3 days later, especially Rea and Keena, after the last couple of performances, so I guess Wade thinks may as well rest them today ahead of more winnable games.

As for Taylor, has he got a bit of an injury? If not, Wade seeing if the Long, Bradbury, Freestone experiment works early.

All those below us have a tough fixture, away. A point today would be brilliant.

This could be a long afternoon. We don't look up for it and the referee already showing signs of giving everything to Ipswich and nothing to us.

Aaaah so close. Could Goodwin have reached it?

Lidicrous. How the linesman didn't see it I'll never know

Everyone should be extremely proud of the club, what a great effort at half time

I’d put long to right wing back and get Taylor on. I won’t mention who but one player is having an absolute mare (as every week). So frustrating playing each week with 10 players

Broom isn't playing too well but he's like prime Messi compared to Olayinka today!

Decent half in the end, I'd like to see the likes of Ferry and Keena come on. Goodwin is doing ok but doesn't press as well as Keena and, for a tall man, doesn't actually win many headers.

I'm not having that. Olayinka has been no better or worse than anyone else. He's done his job and set up a chance. That's how I see it anyway.

Goodwin and May don't look like they have any understanding at all.

Let's hope Ipswich struggle playing with the wind as much as we have. I doubt it will take 35 mins for them to realise that smacking it full power down the pitch is going to see it going all the way through.

Is a little harsh to single out Olayinka

We are doing fantastically well against a team in red hot form

Ok, maybe a little harsh on Olayinka I guess. He's just had a few poor touches, given it away a few times and nearly gave away a goal at the end of the half. He's started this second half well though to be fair

They're saying the same thing for sure!

Alfie:s control under pressure is something to behold

Wowsers. What a team; what a manager; what a season.

Ipswich should’ve won but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - if that’s top of the league/nine in a row - we’re not far off

another good day at the office. I am really looking forward to yet another season in league one.

Well done Wade

If 100% fit yes. It’s a squad game and we need eleven on the pitch at ‘full tilt’ as Wade calls it. Great to see the likes of Williams, Goodwin and Links battle in a very competitive game.

Nice experiment of Bradbury alongside Freestone too ;)

Yeah fantastic battling performance. Caused real scares on our forays and those two off the line.

Really good point. We battled hard, kept our shape and created three or four good chances in the first half. Good to see Freestone back and the we could play a back three that didn‘‘t include a loan player. Great performance from Bonds as well.

Olyinka was excellent 2nd half
Bond was very good
Williams had a much better game as did Long

Long Bradbury and Freestone were OK but absolutely no pace
Perry looked better today
The wind was a major factor but we kept at it
A good point and I can see Barnsley beating Ipswich in the play off final

Elliot got it right today

I think all 10 outfield players that started today were "ours"?

Ipswich; you'll never beat us!

Probably because they'll go up and we will never face each other again :lol:

As much as the pounding rain was a leveller v Sheff Weds, today it was the wind. Although, as said, luckily for us Ipswich did have a bit of an off day in front of goal. Thank f#!$.

Some of the comments though :lol:
Apparently we are "anti football". I guess because we fight not to lose and refuse to just turn up and roll over like their like their last 8 opponents. Their budget is something like 8 times larger than ours. f#!$ hell I hate the fans of these clubs like Ipswich. Entitled scum.
