Ipswich Town v Brighton & Hove Albion preview & match thread

Marko, there is no issue with chambers, just one or two negative comments here and there, the vast majority are very pro him and while I admit he has had a couple of dodgy games by hios standards what does annoy me is the absolute world class tackle he put in on Saturday to stop an almost certain goal goes completely unmentioned.

Mike.

It has been said for a long time that Chambers is not best suited as a right back and now it has been said that he is not a lot better at CB.

On the basis that all our defenders are fully fit, what would be your first choice back four?

To be honest Billy it is hard to say until we know the level of Malarczyk, but if pushed at the moment mine would be :-

Chambers Smith Berra Knudsen

If Malarczyk proves himself in the next month or so I would have him challenging for Smith's place, for me Chambers is an absolute must for the team, like Murphy he offers so much more than just defending, which i admit is pretty key to his inclusion, but his leadership on the field is second to none, by far and away our best captain for years.

To be honest Billy there is nothing for anyone to be concerned about at all right now, we have had a very good start and are well placed, and all this with injuries, new players settling in and lets not forget a tricky set of opening fixtures.

You don't see a fully fit Parr getting in anywhere then?

I think he will get his chances yes but as a regualr every week ? Nope.
