If Norwich win, then Middlesbrough's season is officially done. Therefore by time they play Leeds on Monday, they won't have anything to play for. Do we therefore need them to still be in with an outside chance at the playoffs so that they're properly going for it still?
Or, would that leave them susceptible, because nothing less than a win would do for them. Therefore Leeds could catch them on the break as they push for a winner.
SO MANY PERMUTATIONS! |

They're definitely still in the race. After the games on Saturday, by the time we KO against Hull, they would have played 4 more games. They could conceivably be ahead of us. |

This is the most minor of points in the grand scheme of things, but when did we win the Nations League? We won a penalty shootout to finish 3rd, but don't think we've actually won it, have we? Thought we got relegated from the top group in fact? |

Equally, they might be out the cup, and out of playoff contention by that point. Could be a nothing game for them |

There's an argument to be made that, injury-free, our strongest XI doesn't include any loans though, so not sure how you think "half our starting XI isn't ours". Every team needs to utilise the loan market in this division.
Take a look at the other 3 teams challenging for top 2, all have key players on loan. It's part and parcel of today's game [Post edited 14 Mar 16:26]

If we're still in the autos mix in March, then any game in the run-in is liable to be picked up by SkySports and thus change KO time and/or date. Price of success unfortunately. [Post edited 22 Jan 13:45]

Also looks like Cam in the Instagram story they put up on them training. He looks like he's in the far group with Chappers, so pretty sure he's there |

An interesting thread and conversation as always Joe. Think it's been said a few times that some of your grades seem very harsh.
Cannot agree with just a satisfactory, or "C grade", 5/10 for Leigh. The only way he was going to play more was an injury to Leif. Whenever he came in, we didn't miss a beat and he played as if he had been a regular starter (see Derby away in partiular). So to almost hold it against him ("ultimately started 3 league games") that Leif was a first name on the teamsheet, seems daft.
Certainly sounds like Keogh offered a huge amount off the pitch. That is something that can't really be rated by fans as we don't see the impact he had. So if you're ranking is solely on what happens on the pitch then fair enough, but in the grand scheme of things, if you asked squad members and staff, pretty sure 3/10 would be bumped up.
Regarding what was different in January, I would throw in a change of luck. You talk about a "terrible hit rate" in the Summer, and how 6 out of 9 started less than 10 games, but 4 of those 6 were injured for large portions of the season/time they were with us. Then you turn to January signings, both Luongo and Broadhead came with injury history, both were slowly introduced (very slowly in Massimo's case), before staying injury free for rest of the season. So our injury luck definitely changed. |

For future reference, you can enlarge it a little if you zoom in to about 300% on the page itself, then move the video to centre of screen. Still isn't full screen, but watchable |

Got to just concentrate on ourselves. Couple of very winnable games coming up to get us back on track.
If we do win both, and Plymouth draw or beat Sheff Wed (the next league game now for both), then we will be in striking distance going into our game v Wednesday.
......things could look very different in just a couple of weeks. Far from over. |

Totally agree with you on the starting XI.
Not sure about your bench though. Can't see them going with 2 defenders and 2 CMs when KMc loves to change all his forward players at some point. So I would probably swap out Luongo for Harness.
Means players like Jackson, Edwards, Luongo and Leigh all miss out entirely....mad squad depth! |

I know I'm not alone in feeling he does over-exaggerate the opposition at times. He's an excellent impartial commentator, perfect for the BBC. But when it is local radio and the listening audience is probably 95% Ipswich fans, there doesn't need to be such impartiality.
It is simply my opinion on how his commentary style comes across at times. Others, clearly, won't be bothered by it, but it does annoy some (and I know I'm not alone in thinking that). |

Couldn't possibly have a sensible and reasonable discussion with people on here, without throwing insults around, could we?
My post praised Brenner as much as it did criticise. It goes beyond when opposition teams score for me. Multiple times I would find him over-exaggerating an opposition attack or player. Became more noticeable once you watching along on iFollow because over the radio you just go by what he's saying.
That's just my opinion anyway, each to their own and certainly no knickers are in a bunch.
So you have a lovely Tuesday.....ya wet wipe  |

I, for one, don't miss Brenner at all. I'm one of those that find his "delight" when an opposition team score, or even simply when they're on the attack, annoying. The fact that multiple people don't like him for it, proves that he must be doing it to some extent.
I never wanted him to be as one-sided as those dreadful Lincoln commentators, and he does make an excellent impartial commentator, but when he is a local commentator, that impartiality, for me, goes too far and it rubs me (and many others) the wrong way.
I also feel that Glenn on iFollow, is doing an excellent job, and I find the insights of the variety of co-commentators (particularly when current players) they have joining him, more interesting that Mick Mills (even if he is a true legend of the club). |

I get people are allowed their own opinion, but some opinions really do confuse me.
Furious? Why? We controlled the game entirely. Bracknell players' biggest game of their lives, were never going to be able to keep it up for full 90 (hard enough for fully professional League 1 players to maintain focus when we control games like that, let alone part timers). We stayed patient, professional and through to the next round without any dramas (not something we've been able to say much for the past decade or so).
All strikers miss chances, if not for a couple of decent saves, Freddie would have had one or two more. And I don't agree at all with your Edwards remark...he and KVY looked a constant threat.
I'd also query your remark about struggling "when teams set up to frustrate and nullify us"....we've scored in a all bar one league game this year, which suggests we do eventually break those teams down |
