Norwich City vs Ipswich Town (Home) Sunday 10th Feb.

[Number 9]

They made hard work of that, 101st minute.

101st minute equalizer, oh well, last weekend we could of been fourth, this Sunday afternoon we can go two points clear at the top, I'll still take that

 

[dj161]

actually looking at the table, a draw isn't too bad, if Boro won they'd only be four points behind us with a game in hand, a win tomorrow and we're nine points above them, would love to win the title but will be more than happy to claim second

Now then Stoke, over to you.....

I still think leeds will drop off

I still think leeds will drop off

So do I, but at the end of the day it's the top two that go up automatic, lets just make sure we're well clear of third

I actually think a draw is the best result in that game, Middlesbrough not far behind and beat West Brom the other day. They lack goals but don't concede many and a run of form from them not out of the question.

Plus they have Sheffield United next.... I want a draw in that too.

As much as going up as Champions would be wonderful, and Leeds winning the league would suck, I'm more focused on us putting distance between the teams in 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

If they'd won today then Middlesbrough taking 9 points off West Brom, Leeds and Sheffield United would have made them really confident and put them right in contention.

Ach, West Brom have controlled this from start to (nearly) finish. Ones to watch.

Yeah, it's been looking like a 4 horse race for a little while now - us, Leeds, Sheff Utd and WBA.

Obviously Billy Sharp is on red hot form at the moment but it'll be hard to keep that going the rest of the season and that's where they might get a little unstuck.

 

[gerryinromania]

Results have been nice this weekend. Just need our talented lads in yella to make the most of it tomorrow. 3 bootiful points please

 

[morty]

Right, lets do this. All you can eat breakfast in The Nelson, bar opens at ten. Nailed my colours to the mast and had a bet on 3 nil!

 

[Fenway Frank]

I’ve just been rumbled on twtd, let’s hope I’ve still got an account later

 

[Canaryboy]

Where the fuck did Bristol City come from, just looked at their form and they haven't lost since 3rd November and have won 5 out of the last 5.... 7 out of 7 if you include their two FA Cup wins.

 

[OldRobert]

Good point. I noticed that too yesterday, when looking at the table. Don't know mind you who those league wins were against mind you, I doubt they had the sort of fixtures we just had.

 

[dj161]

Those wins were against, Stoke, Bolton, Forest, Swansea and Blackburn, so no one amazing, but still build plenty of confidence going forward

 

[dj161]

lets do this

 

[Canaryboy]

They've also only conceded 2 goals in those 5 games.... and we're the only team to put 2 past them since their last defeat on 3rd November,

That at least makes them good enough for their fans to surely wonder why the fuck they paid £1m for Marley Watkins, who hasn't started a game since September

 

[Din]

Sh*tting myself a little bit I have to admit, cannot wait for this though (even though sitting a couple of rows from the front means I'm gonna get drenched).

If this was against any other team, and it was top at home vs bottom then it's 3 points no question. Because it's them though and Lambert is their manager it has a big question mark over it.

The fact is though, we are the far better team, with far better players, and Ipswich are a complete embarrassment at the moment. If we play even remotely similar to how we've played all season we'll smash them. We're far too good for them.

Would absolutely love us to beat them by 4 or 5, that'd be f*cking brilliant. I'd definitely take a scrappy 1-0 though. F*ck Ipswich and Lambert. OTBC

Also, looking forward to seeing what the Barclay end put on, should be a good show.

 

[Number 9]

Goodness me, that'll be an uneventful first half then.
When it was kicking off in the dugouts, you boys at the ground missed Farke looking totally cool, winking at the camera!
Everything'sgoing ape behind him, he looks at the camera, a little half smile and a wink!

 

[Number 9]

So we were at what 75%?
