Championship - Ipswich Town vs Birmingham City Preview & Matchday Thread

[Bluemike]

Actually it could be Travis, forgot about him, he can play there.

[hallamblue]

Lol re BW. He's still in Manchester Mike. I dont think well see him again.
You watching Leicester v Leeds?

[Bluemike]

He's a waste of space and a pain in the arse quite frankly, it's on the box but I'm getting ready to go out shortly.

I dif consider him but thought Axel is a right sided defender so went for him

Thought you might be out. Have a nice evening mate x

[hallamblue]

Leicester 1-0 up !!!

[Bluemike]

Tuanzebe in for Clarke, Luongo in for Travis.

[marko69]

At Easter Road today for the mouldy banana skin that is Dundee. Will check scores at HT.

Hopefully the theory that Tuanzebe is “cold” can be scrutinised today. Hope he plays well……. Like a well oiled , err…. Axel?

Welcome to the Portman Road Jungle, Axel.

[Mariner67]

Still no Williams, not even on the bench.

[BLUEBLOOD]

Southampton 0 Millwall 1 latest

Wes Burns off Hutchinson on .

Still no Williams, not even on the bench.

Still in Manchester

They're starting same formation as us, maybe trying to emulate something or they got a plan but stats suggest we should be leading even at early stage of contest. Nearest challengers either losing or dropped points today therefore greater incentive for us to win this.

Seems only a matter of time before we go ahead, the players and manager obviously aware WBA dropped points and crowd relaying Southampton losing. Let's do this.

The surface looks wet and a few Players slipping. They watered the pitch before the Game so that hasn't helped.

[BLUEBLOOD]

Goal Chaplin COYBs

[Cabanas Blue]

Nice goal just hope Burns injury is not serious.

[arana peligrosa]

YES Connor Chaplin and we have the lead. Kind of knew it was coming, stats suggested the game was only heading one way.

Southampton now level though that sours things a little. Think could be a real interesting set of games today but going to need further goals to believe Birmingham can or will be beaten. It seems we really are in control there, goal lead is deserved but maybe the team should be 2, 3 ahead by this stage.

[Cabanas Blue]

Axel is playing well so far I'm quite impressed.

[BLUEBLOOD]

1-1 ffs

[lucy]

1-1

[Ricco]

Why do even bother checking the score. Same with Leeds last night, always concede when I check.

Stats suggest we were bossing, so seems a bit pathetic to concede.

[Charnwood]

I’m travelling to a golf match this morning with a Birmingham nut case who travels back to the UK to watch them. It will be interesting to chat about the game and listen to what he’s expecting. We have a Bristol City fan in the car too, that’s another tricky fixture coming up fast, but all we’ll hear from him is how they hammered Southampton. Just hope and pray they don’t do the same to us. I feel two 10€ bets coming up but can’t say I’m overly confident with either if I’m honest but I’ll definitely be keeping faith in our boys. Pride wouldn’t allow me to do anything else.

What was the lowdown from this?

He thinks they’ll either draw 1-1 or win 1-2. In his dreams

[ashfordblue]

2nd Half bring on Hamadi to partner Kieffer so we have a double threat up front, just like when we used to have Ted Phillips and Ray Crawford as double strikers worth a try in the wet conditions, at least Millwall are winning 1-2 now they have Neil Harris back in charge they should start to pick up form.

[Charnwood]

Millwall in front again at Southampton where they lead 1-2.

[ashfordblue]

1-1

James is a dangerous man for Brum he is quality mark him tight

[Charnwood]

Luckily I joined the game at 0-0 just before the opening goal. Just a shame they managed to equalise weigh their only first half shot on target.

At least my 3-1 prediction is still alive.

[arana peligrosa]

How did they score, last looked we seemed so far in control the team should have been two or three goals ahead. This isn't very good.

Seems we got a whole load of possession and chances again and can't turn them into something more substantial, can't quite put into figures how many times that seems to occur with us. Burns taken from play during first half and replaced, hope it's something benign. We're taking broadhead from play also about now, Sarmiento coming into it. Jackson and or Al Hamadi may feature before end of game if score doesn't change soon.

[Charnwood]

We really aren’t controlling this game at all and look very pedestrian. Could have done with playing this lot at home when Rooney was in charge. We certainly don’t look like promotion contenders this afternoon, but I guess Southampton don’t either.

[lucy]

2-1

[ashfordblue]

Sarmiento get in there 2-1 now
