They are 8 points off the play offs, approaching last chance saloon and you'd think a draw isn't too much use to them. I can't see them just sitting behind the ball. It's going to be important we don't give them any cheap set pieces. |  | | |  |

I feel fairly confident about this game. Home game and we're in incredible form whilst theirs has been patchy. From what I know they were very lucky to get a draw from Derby and their other results past few games haven't been incredible. Still a tough game against one of the better teams but we should be comfortably winning this one. |  |

They aren't likely to come at us having seen what happened to Burton and Forest Green when they tried that. Their best chance is to keep it tight, frustrate us, and try to nick something on the break or from a set piece. Trying to win a game doesn't always (or even usually) entail having a real go at teams, especially away from home. |  |

They have a game in hand on Bolton, so in effect five points outside the play offs with ten to go. Not last chance saloon. Would expect them to sit back and aim to hit us on the counter attack and set pieces. We will need to be patient and clinical. | | | |

A point for them is a still a very good result |  |

It's in our nature to over-worry about the opposition, but imagine what our opponents think about playing us at the moment.
If you put yourself in the position of a Shrewsbury fan, or player, or manager, you're probably thinking "We can't win all of our remaining matches, this one against an in-form Ipswich is the hardest of the lot, we don't want to get tonked here, we'll be delighted with a point and even a narrow defeat which doesn't dent the confidence would be acceptable. We can still get in the play-offs if we lose to Ipswich as long as we keep believing and win a lot of our other games."
I suspect they'll be defensive and happy to absorb pressure even if we go in front. I also think we've got the tools and the mentality and flexibility to very probably be able to unlock them. |  |

Their fans seem happy with a point from the game. We just need to go out and play them off the park. They may be high(ish) in the league but they don't have the quality we do, they won't bring many fans and have many less points than us. I can't see anything other than a convincing win. Oh, and the ex supports them so this is more important than normal for me. | | | |

I'm not worried at all, I think we will beat them. I don't expect them to play gung-ho but similarly I don't expect them to just sit in to the extent a lot of teams have at PR this season.
They are probably going to need to aim for 78 points to have any chance of getting into the top 6 (23 more points from 10 games). In their last 10 they have 5 of the current top 6 - they are going to have to win a couple of those and they don't have much real margin for error. [Post edited 16 Mar 2023 9:13]

It's not entirely borne out by the stats as we have won games from drawing positions at h/t but we've seen recently the importance of getting our noses in front early. When we're chasing a goal in the 2nd half it gets so hard as teams are happy to sit back, waste a shed load of time, break up any momentum with 'injury' breaks, using their substitution windows etc. Before you know it there's 75 minutes on the clock, a restless crowd and the ball has barely been in play since half time.
Anecdotally I've noticed a trend of teams trying to turn us around to play towards the N/S 1st half lately which has largely been fruitful for us. Can't help but feel it benefits us as we face less interruptions to our rhythm 1st half. |  |

They'll do what they've done to good effect for most of the season — keep it tight, go for the set piece sucker punch.
Lincoln (h) vibes for me here — we were flying then, we are now and the confidence everywhere is rightly high. But it's a similarly awkward opponent, probably a better one, and we're not going to steamroller them, it may take a while if at all. Hopefully we find a way. | |

Very tough game, and similar deal to THAT Lincoln game. We look to be made of sterner stuff now though and/or our luck has shifted, so I'm going for a hard fought win.

Tho with Luongo in the midfield and Broadhead replacing the out-of-form Harness, I feel we have just a little more penetration now, perhaps enough to tip the balance in our favour. |  |

just the win is the thing in this game . We've got a few goals in the bank and i don't expect another 4 goal feast. Really important just to win with the Barnsley game off now, keep Plymouth in touching distance and let them stew on their next away game. Then we swoop!! | | | |

They have to attack us really don’t they. They need the points t9 stand a chance to make play offs. This will help our game , hopefully!
I noticed in the EADT article today ( quoting the top 6 managers and what their thoughts are re rest of season ), that Plymouth might be opting for a very defensive approach to their away games, ( unless I’ve misread it). This could potentially help us providing we can still maintain our winning run.
It’s comes down to a 10 game season shoot out almost hasn’t it . |  |

Should think they will want it tight and scrappy, keep the crowd down, and try and be effective from set pieces...Think we'll blow them away 3-0. We've just got too much for these sort of sides. .But we still need Morsy to negotiate a card free game, ideally.
To say he's due one, is an umderstatement.
3-0....Ladapo, Chaplin , Burns.... COYBs |  | | |

I expect a really tough game, they are in very good form right now, with a decent squad actually when you look at it. Cotterill is doing a cracking job with them.
Last 10 games we have taken 21 points, they have taken 20, so they are in a good run run of form.
Drew at Derby, beat Wycombe and Bolton already, and have put in very good displays in narrow defeats to Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Plymouth. |  | | |

I’m not sure they’d see themselves in the same bracket as FGR and Burton, but do hear what you’re saying. Go toe to toe with us, in a football match, and is likely they’d lose. |  |

In hindsight, that 3-0 win at their place earlier in the season has probably been one of our best results of the season |  |

Expecting top notch sh*thousery from the 10th minute. We, the crowd, must remain calm, support the lads, 'trust the process'. | | | |

I thought I'd talk about them talking about us talking about them: https://blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/105369/ipswich-town-pre-match-chat
Seems like they're mainly interested in the marina area. So give your recommendations people!
Some predicting a 2-1 win, which wouldbe a surprise. Some predicting an 8-1-1 formation, which wouldn't be a surprise.
They seem like a decent bunch |  |

Indeed, while Shrewsbury would obviously prefer 3 points, their manager will probably reckon that sitting back & frustrating Town is probably the most likely route. They'd also be very happy with a point. |  |
