Liverpool Wimps Thursday, 29th Mar 2001 12:12 With Liverpool complaining about their run-in we thought we'd look back in history at a real, proper, man's run-in as endured by Town back in the seventies. As posted on the Message Board the other day here is Town's run-in from 1974/75 season. FA Cup 6th Ipswich 0 - 0 Leeds 08/03/1975 FAC6 Replay Leeds 1 - 1 Ipswich 11/03/1975 League Ipswich 5 - 4 Newcastle 15/03/1975 League Stoke 1 - 2 Ipswich 18/03/1975 League Everton 1 - 1 Ipswich 22/03/1975 FAC6 2ndRpy Ipswich 0 - 0 Leeds 25/03/1975 FAC6 3rdRpy Ipswich 3 - 2 Leeds 27/03/1975 League Ipswich 2 - 1 Leicester 29/03/1975 League Chelsea 0 - 0 Ipswich 31/03/1975 League Ipswich 3 - 2 Birmingham 01/04/1975 FA Cup Semi West Ham 0 - 0 Ipswich 05/04/1975 FAC S/Replay West Ham 2 - 1 Ipswich 09/04/1975 League Ipswich 2 - 1 QPR 12/04/1975 League Leeds 2 - 1 Ipswich 19/04/1975 League Man City 1 - 1 Ipswich 23/04/1975 League Ipswich 4 - 1 West Ham 26/04/1975 We don't imagine Liverpool are going to have anything like the run at the end of March and the beginning of April where games were played in consecutive days and Town played three games in six days. It is interesting to note that out of the sixteen games in a month and a half Town only lost the semi replay to West Ham and we all know why that was, don't we? Gerard Houllier, stop bleating! Ashley Lyth, one of the two Scarborough players given a recent trial at Town, signed for Leicester yesterday for £100,000. Scarborough manager Town old boy Neil Thompson sent Lyth and David Pounder for a spell with Town in February. Lyth is a centre-half, is only 17-years-old and made his Conference debut this season. Thompson has to sell off players as Scarborough, relegated to the Conference in 1999, are in bad financial straits.
