Saturday 1st October 2016, Portman Road, Ipswich

Well I never thought Town would be entering October nicely nestled in the automatic promotion spots of the Championship and this weekend the mighty Terriers make the long distance trip to just short of the back of beyond to a place called Ipswich. Now at this point I was going to fascinate you with some top facts about Ipswich and famous people from the Town but after a short Google I decided to pull the plug on that as it seems to be fairly quiet on that front so it's onto the game.
The Mighty,Mighty Terriers will be looking for 3 points this weekend to strengthen our position in the top 2 as we head towards the international break, speaking of which famous ex Ipswich and England manager Sir Bobby Robson will be turning in his grave after this weeks events. Town managed to dispose of Rovrum n Tuesday night with a fairly convincing 2-1 victory even if the score line doesn't tell the whole story and that was despite having 2 of our back four suspended and VLP joining them on the naughty step for telling the ref to go forward and multiply at Reading.
Ipswich Town lead by Barnsley Mick will be looking to build on a solid point at home against Brighton on Tuesday when they held the Seagulls to a 0-0 draw, but a fast start by the Terriers may just turn the home support against the team as I'm hearing rumblings of upset amongst the home not so faithful. Ipswich are 13th in the table right now and haven't scored in the last 3 games
Terriers team News- I fully expect Hudson and Löwe to come straight back into the starting line up at the expense of Hefele and THD. VLP back in for Scanz???..probably although that is no reflection on Scanz as he put a very good shift in on Tuesday night. Other changes, your guess is as good as mine...Payne for Palmer, Kachunga up Top, Wells on the bench???
Last time out.
Strangely I'm struggling to find the nice graphic Town use on Twitter for the team so here it is in none of its glory

Smith,Hefele,Schindler,Holmes-Dennis
Mooy,Whitehead
Kachunga,Palmer,Scannell

Last time we visited Portman Road.
Who can possibly forget a 0-0 draw, we'll probably none of us in Huddersfield because that was the day James Vaughan finally blotted his copy book and sealed his exit from the club

Jordan Rhodes
Town- P148 G87
Ipswich P10 G1
- The that got away from Ipswich mainly thanks to Roy Keane, I'm not sure the Ipswich fans have forgiven him for that yet. Signed for the Terriers for somewhere in the region of £350k plus a sell on clause, sold on to the Chicken Pluckers at Blackburn for £8million plus a sell on clause. Couldn't stop scoring for Town in his stint with us and despite mincing around the pitch always seemed to pop up in the right place at the right time. Now earning his living as a Premiership bench warmer on about £50k a week at Middlesboro

Marcus Stewart
Town P160 G68
Ipswich P96 G40
- The one that got away from us, thanks to Barry Rubbery bottling it and Steve Bruce thinking Martin Smith could replace him. Bought for a record fee at the time from Brizzle Rovers...something Ian Hollaway has never forgiven us for and Sold on to Ipswich Town for a record fee. At the time Ton and Ipswich were flying in the Championship, unfortunately the sale of Marcus led to our downfall whilst he went on to fire Ipswich onto the Premiership....even had the bloody nerve to score the winner against us about 2 weeks after we sold him.
These days Marcus is assistant manager at Brizzle Rovers.

Gary Roberts
Town P192 G39
Ipswich P59 G4
- Yet another recent connection between to the 2 clubs. Left Accy Stanley(who are they?) for Ipswich Town but never really made the impact he should've done. Signed for Town for £250k and was a good servant to the club before being released on a bosman in our League 1 play off winners season. Currently earning a crust at Portsmouth dazzling league 2 with his fancy footwork.
Wakeys Match prediction.
They've always seemed to be close affairs down at Portman Road since our return to the Championship but I'm going to stick my neck out here and say 1-3 to the Terriers with Wells,Payne and VLP the goal scorers for the Terriers
UTT!

Nice one, Wakey.
Another club connection iis that other cult hero Alan Alan Lee. Scored the goal for Ipswich that relegated Leeds.
I can't remember us ever winning down there. This could be the time.
Just looked it up. 1996. 3-1. Payton 2 and Stewart.

Wakey, you are right about no one of note being born in the town of Ipswich. The only ones I can find are mediocre footballers such as Titus Bramble, Jason Dozzell, Kieron Dyer, Ruel Fox, Brian Talbot & Ian Storey Moore, plus darts player, Keith Deller.
As for the match, Town have a very poor league record at Portman Road over the past 20 years, having P9-W1-D3-L5-F11-A19 and picking up only 6 points from the 27 contested. If we go back to the 1960 season our overall record gets much worse - P17-W1-D4-L12-F17-A39, giving us a paltry 7 points from the 51 contested.
So, no matter how you look at it, our record at Portman road is absolutely abysmal and I cannot see any other result than a 2-1 win for Ipswich.

Think Scanz may start this, Wagner should show VLP the stupidity of his actions and send a message to others, lets be fair, Scanz did enough on Tuesday to earn a start
Fascinating Ipswich fact - they got the name Ipswich from a hip witch who, back in 1752 used to smoke spliffs and say groovy a lot, they burned her at the stake and the hippy movement was lost for 210years - it's true is that, a man from the pub told me

And Roberts put in the cross!

Going up to this game, Ipswich is a fairly easy drive for me and the old man. We get sod all every year at Ipswich so it's about time we won. We always play them off the park and either gift them a win i.e last minute Murphy goals or can't put them away (James Vaughan missed penalties anyone?). I expect Lowe to come in for THD and probably Hudson for Hef although by the sounds of it Hef didn't do a lot wrong on Tuesday. I also expect Scanz to keep his place and Wagner to really put the boot into VLP that he'll have to earn his way back into this team after acting like a child last week. 2-1 Town. Kachunga to score first, them to get a jammy equaliser and then VLP to come on and win the fans back with a 85th minute winner to send the travelling faithful into delirium. You heard it here first. UTT.

Another club and another place where we rarely get a win even when we maybe deserve to. They were that crap at Leeds they made Leeds look good and all of West Yorkshire and eventually the country knows how crap Leeds were against us after Monk threw his toys, dummy and blanky out of the pram in his post game interview. Yet another set of fans that might only believe once they see with their own eyes that this season's Town ain't the Town of the last 3 seasons.
