If we can stop them scoring today, we win this game.

For me, it's ALL about stopping them from scoring, set pieces (corners especially), stopping their edge of box shots, and nullifying their front two.

If we can do that, we win this game. If we don't, we lose.

Simples.

We’ve had 2 games now where Totos small mistakes haven’t cost us… today might end up being the giant balls up.

That said hopefully those around him are switched on enough to know at any given moment he has that in his locker and will cover him.

Prediction- Plymouth 0-1 Ipswich (Toto) 😂

As long as we dont go all defence, defence, defence. Got to play to our strengths (which is attack) and do the right things when we don’t have the ball. Don’t think we’ll ever have a watertight defence due to the way we play. And individual mistakes get highlighted more because we don’t have as much defensive cover as before.
Not ideal and frustrating at times, but I much prefer it to the dullness of previous teams we’ve had.

Yawn. Why can't you just admit that Toto is one of our best centre backs and fully deserves his place You just keep going on and on and on about the supposed mistakes. Toto gets himself about, and far rather than than centre backs who are in the wrong place to even make the challenge/block/interception. It was keystone cops defending before Toto came into the middle.

Yes I agree, after I posted I thought the same. If we sit back and just try and stop them scoring, we are on a sticky wicket.

Only way to play this game is all out attack, throw the kitchen sink at them, repeatedly.

I expect Plymouth will do the same, so it should be quite a game.

Play OUR game. When we are on it, we are too much for anyone in this league.

Just keep the concentration going at the back.

2-1 Town.

I don’t have much fear that the defence will defend. Or at the other end of the pitch Bonne and Chaplin will harass and threaten.

For me the real battle will be in the middle. If Morsy, Evans and whoever can get us on the ball and keeping it, while frustrating and stopping Plymouth from getting up a head of steam when they have it, then we’ll probably win.

It’s where we’ve been much, much better over the past month or so, and there’s no reason we can’t keep that up. We just have to do it against the top sides now.

Repliace Messi with Robbie savage as Lione Messi ended up being a worse player than Bennetts

Yep. Toto had read the ball to Pilkington and went up to challenge him, it was actually Donacien who lost his man, Morton, who scored at the back post.

Give over. Toto has been a rock in the last 2 games.
