Championship - Stoke FC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread

[JohnnyB]

Southampton one up

[hallamblue]

Scum have only had 2 shots the whole game : both off target . Saints have had about 13shots.

[AzzurroMark]

Stoke down to 10. Thompson sent off for 2nd yellow.

[hallamblue]

We need to get Freddie on in that box now . Omari is putting balls into the box snd there’s no one there!

[hallamblue]

Stoke down to 10. Thompson sent off for 2nd yellow.

Not sure what second booking was for as he got the foul given against Chaplin’s

[JohnnyB]

Stoke had a man dismissed. Hopefully that will put paid to any threat from them. A win for us would be great but a draw no disaster

[hallamblue]

We don’t usually “ show” up against 10 men though

[hallamblue]

We need Freddie on, now!

[JohnnyB]

Oh go on the Norwich!

[AzzurroMark]

That goal is a coming....I can feel it.

[ashfordblue]

lol I’ll take that Ash

They are down to 10 now Thompson's red card Jackson off Hutch on, Interesting if Broadhead is the lone striker or play 4 2 4

[hallamblue]

Scum Have equalised !

[hallamblue]

That goal is a coming....I can feel it.

Think that might just be your bladder !!

[ashfordblue]

Harness and Taylor on

[lucy]

I never thought I'd cheer a Norwich Goal

[AzzurroMark]

That goal is a coming....I can feel it.

Think that might just be your bladder !!

If that was the case we'd have scored at least 5 by now!

[hallamblue]

[hallamblue]

Ladapo on with 5 bloody mins left …. Jeeeze. !

[JohnnyB]

Ladapo on with 5 bloody mins left …. Jeeeze. !

Yeah and for Tuanzebe! Mckenna going for broke as ever

[lucy]

We need to get some new Blood in quick. At least after today some of our Players will get a well earned rest. FA Cup Saturday .

[hallamblue]

Now we have two league games to get through without Morsy …. Sunderland / Leicester… great!

[Charnwood]

Only one team trying to win this game but unfortunately not good enough against a team only interested in winning a point.

[JohnnyB]

Draw for us and draw for Southampton. Still three points clear. Decent really

[Charnwood]

Now we have two league games to get through without Morsy …. Sunderland / Leicester… great!

Doesn’t the FA Cup game count ?

[hallamblue]

Down to the bare bones in terms of quality up front , and our forward line just does not function with any fluidity when Hirst is not in there.

Make shift defence did ok but tbh Stoke offered little threat.

[Charnwood]

It’s that old problem of hitting shots on target, 13 shots only 2 “On Target”

[hallamblue]

Now we have two league games to get through without Morsy …. Sunderland / Leicester… great!

Doesn’t the FA Cup game count ?

No unfortunately it doesn’t

[ashfordblue]

Well, 0-0 aint bad it keeps us in 2nd place now we need that new striker in Pronto just hope Fulham recall Jay Stansfield from Brum and lets him come to us on Loan, and also Amad Diallo from Man Utd would help, we need as much fire power as possible

[AzzurroMark]

Now we have two league games to get through without Morsy …. Sunderland / Leicester… great!

That said it's almost 2 weeks before Sunderland game and exactly 3 weeks before Leicester. I think we will (hopefully) have done the major part of our transfer window shopping by then.
On that note, after the manic Christmas schedule isn't it crazy that we then have 2 games in a 10 day period in January!!!

[hallamblue]

Yes it’s a stupid schedule isn’t it! And it does favour the relegated PL clubs in my opinion because they have depth in their squads , so are less affected by injuries/ illness …. I think our squad has run out of steam over this really tough month…. And we’ll have another one to get through in April.
