Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 2 April Popular Post Share Posted 2 April Ipswich may well be overperforming but this is what momentum, confidence, belief and a hell of a lot of maximising your ability can do. We've done it before. It's very difficult to do but when you do it's often more resilient and powerful than what can be achieved with paying for perceived quality alone. Fair play to them. They're identity seems a lot harder to counteract than ours in recent months, their transfer window has been pretty remarkable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Arriba Los Zorros Posted 2 April Popular Post Share Posted 2 April 1 hour ago, Sol thewall Bamba said: It's genuinely unbelievable. The "they make their own luck" thing is just wrong. The ball falls 6 inches either side of where it did and he doesn't score. That's pure chance, IE luck. Nope, its about get the ball in the area in a shooting position and it may find its way in. No team wins that amount of games late or comes back from losing positions so often due to pure luck. Something that doesn't happen to us as we're too busy fannying around with it 50 yards away from the oppositions goal when we desperatley need a goal. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the team most capable of putting in a turd of a performance though so depends which Leicester turns up for the rest of the season To be fair, i think all 3 teams are capable of, and have been putting in turd performances. The difference is we don't seem to be able to go gung ho at the end to grind out a draw or a win. I thought Leeds were awful yesterday and managed to get that penalty by going all in. It was a massive lost opportunity for Hull - they outplayed Leeds for significant stretches of that game. Shame as they look decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April 17 hours ago, adejo92 said: Ipswich players booed off aha. Don't be silly. We were booing the ref, not the players. I know you lot were fixated on Morsy but you seem to have missed the fact that Saints were getting away with constant, niggly fouls while Morsy was the only one (at that point) to get any kind of punishment. Second half, Hutchinson got hauled back by his collar when we were 2-on-2 and neither the ref nor the Lino noticed. It doesn't fit your 'lucky Ipswich' narrative, but we definitely weren't booing off our players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really know why you've bothered making an account to argue with Leicester fans who are clearly just wound up that Ipswich won't back off. We've watched you score countless scrappy injury time winners. It's annoying as ****. I would suggest you're better off logging off and talking to fellow Ipswich fans about how good you've got it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April Just now, Sol thewall Bamba said: Was their goal against us on boxing day lucky? Yeah of course it was but my point is that you only get the luck if you're throwing men forward and getting shots off and taking risks I guess you can say you make your own luck. It's like when Sean Dyche used to moan Burnley never got penalties, no you don't tend to when you spend most games with all men except Chris Wood camped in front of your own area....

grobyfox1990 Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April 2 hours ago, KFS said: What’s wild is this coming week (Sat-Fri) and then 20-27 will define the season. Two very intense mini tournaments where LCFC play first virtually every game. We have an opportunity to be in the driver’s seat here massively if Maresca can keep them focused across those two weeks. Expect to be willing Cov to win on the 30th of April. Could well be another Chelsea and Eden Hazard moment. Did not realise cov v Ipswich is on Tues 30 April!!! I am away with clients for those two days, will be scoping a local bar that will hopefully show it. You're right, that could be the moment! Cov also play Leeds at home this Saturday. Championship and champions league midweeks look brilliant in April, I will be double screening often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywood_6 Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April Good win for us but we need to back it up on Saturday now. Leeds and Ipswich have a lot of momentum. They also have the firepower to win games even when they are second best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The argument against us was that everyone else was shit and that's why we were lucky. This year you could put a good argument for us and Leeds to be two of the best ever Championship sides. Ipswich's perceived luck is down to individual moments consistently going their way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnfox Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April 17 hours ago, oxtonfox said: Ipswich have scored 21 goals after the 90th minute now and won 24 more points as a result. That’s a never quit attitude. That's not quite right. Maybe after the 80th minute, which is still good, but as the game enters the 90th minute and beyond, there have been 13 games with goals. They've scored 8 and conceded 7. And in fact, they'd be a point better off if there was no injury time at all. Most of their injury time goals actually didn't materially affect the outcome.

Very happy to see different teams reaching the Prem. Ipswich are a splendid club who upset the apple cart in the 80s, introduced glamorous continental players like Thijssen and Muhren. The Ipswich fans I know are all splendid people, and I’d be delighted for them to go up automatically, ideally with us! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernpark Posted 2 April Share Posted 2 April I don’t care who goes up if we don’t. The only team I’ll be angry with is Leicester City in that circumstance. I’m past caring about other teams, bar local rivals(Cov won’t even get a play off place), because of anecdotal fan encounters and social media engagement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read one Leicester fan on Twitter calling their style of play shit. Yeah they’ve had a lot of deflected goals but we’re trying to act like every goal they score is down to luck, it’s embarrassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A double deflection, it was incredible wasnt it, in a game where the ref didnt send their bloke off for a blatant second yellow, and denied KDH a stonewall pen. Yep, id say that was damn lucky. Even their goal down here took a slight deflection off of a defenders boot, from the initial shot to wrong foot Mads, which meant when he saved it, he pushed it out in front of him, straight to their bloke who scored, instead of to the side and safety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
