Apologies for the lateness of the thread, been at a theatre festival all weekend where my daughter was performing, so didn't have chance to get it up any earlier!!!
THE LAST MATCH
Wrong team picked, wrong tactics played, wrong formation!!!! All this caused us to half an exceptionally poor first half. At HT, Maguire was rightfully hauled off and replaced by Semedo, which saw at least a different formation and different tactics which gues what resulted in a different performance in the second half!!! Once we finally got Bus and McGigan on we actually looked like a decent team and there really was only one winner from that point on!! But it was all too late, and it was all SGs fault!!!
THE MATCH - TUES 10TH FEB 2015 19.45 GMT
Mick McCarthy has made Ipswich one of this seasons slight surprise packages. They are tough to beat and very well set up without any real stars. Back in September we drew 1-1 with them at S6 with that rare combination of an actual home goal that wasn't a penalty, and a Nuhiu goal at that!!
It was a frustrating game as we went ahead after only 5 minutes but then failed to score and kill the game, which allowed them to score in the second half to take a point back on their tractors to East Anglia!! (By the way, where is West Anglia??)
This will be the 45th meeting between the teams, with our record being W17, D11, L16. Last season we lost 2-1 at their place, but the season before saw one of our best performances of the season at Portman Road as we ran out 3-0 winners, with Barkley getting a brace, would love to see a repeat of that one!! Here is the video of last seasons match at their place.
POTENTIAL LIVE STREAMING SITES
Each game I will post the links to the websites anyone mentions on the thread. That way its easier to find the potential threads rather than scrolling through all the posts on the thread to find the ones where a link is posted. Lets see how ths works.
Cricfree Football - stole this one from Larry on the Rangers board.
http://pilkalive.weebly.com - this one was mentioned on the WBA forum.
http://fırstrowsports.eu - the old favorite that tends not to work as well as it used to!!
WHO'S THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK
Ref - Stuart Attwell
Assts - Robert Hyde and Ian Rathbone
Fourth Official - Michael Bull
MS will hopefully give us the skinny on this guy in previous Owls games!!
CURRENT FORM
OWLS -
IPSWICH -
Their recent form has been spotty just like ours, with their last game being a poor 2-0 defeat at Toytown on Saturday, so lets hope we can take advantage of their indifferent form and our fairly good away record.
OTHER GAMES OF MILD INTEREST
Blackpool v Middlesbrough
Bournemouth v Derby
Brentford v Watford
Huddersfield v Wolves
Reading v Leeds
Couple of games at the top and a couple including bottom teams to pick from!!
THE TEAM
Not even going to attempt to second guess SG with his team selection!! But I can guarantee one thing - MAGUIRE IS SUSPENDED SO WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE PLAYING. So lets put down our guesses as to what the team will be, lets see who gets close to being right!!!

Owlkev was closest to the attendance on Saturday, so goes clear on his own at the top of the BML. This week we are back to the Score and Scorer, no copying as per usual.

It's not meant to be easy lads, as Maddix would say, but its not meant to be almost impossible so for this game I am going to try something different by offering one for getting 4 results right and for getting all 5 correct.
THE MUPPET LEAGUE
After Saturday's performance SG now fully deserves his place in here. I have also added a firm favorite frustration that many of us have!!
So SG, you f ucking Muppet!!!!!
Wednesday Player - considering its not exactly difficult technology they do seem to screw up the commentaries far too often. You can come out of here once we have a trouble free match!!!
