Ipswich Town @ Portman Road 16/1/2016
#1
Having travelled over 600 miles to the two away games this week, the trip to Ipswich on Saturday is only a meagre 426 round trip so for the second time this season will rack up 1000 miles in a week.
Not been to Portman Road so a new ground for yours truly, missed the return fixture in which Town won 2-1 although reports had it that we played well that day but were beaten by class finishing.
Town are in 5th place on 44 points ideally placed for the play offs but still on the fringes of being automatic promotion challengers. They have lost three times at home this season to Boro, Derby and Brighton, they won on Tuesday night beating Leeds 2-1 after being 1 down in 15 seconds. As with a McCarthy side they will be well organised and prove very difficult opposition. They have Murphy and Sears to put the ball in the net plus Pitman who has scored two in two against us.
Last time we played there we drew in the cup a couple of seasons ago, our record is not bad at Portman Road, just have to sign David Nugent on loan for one game only to frighten the life out of them.
Providing we get international clearance for Grimshaw suspect he will be in the squad. Probably change the side having played 352 on Tuesday more likely to play 4411 on Saturday. Anything we get points wise will be a bonus in my view.
Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
