I would have probably been happy with a draw today as we are up against a genuinely good side here ( I know Mick likes to suggest that regardless of who we're playing) with a particularly strong bench. But, with the result last night & Brighton losing the unbeaten record earlier, I know see this as a great opportunity for us to both put a bit of daylight between us and those outside the top 6, while also showing that we are a side with real prospects of being in the fight for a top 2 spot at the end of the season. That could help to persuade ME & MMcC to spend on a couple of players in January for that push, having suffered by not doing so last year - notwithstanding the value buy of Freddie Sears. With that in mind, I'm going to predict a home win now. Come on Ipswich. | | |
