Warnock wary of Ipswich threat

Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock takes his side to Ipswich hoping to end a dismal run of 30 years without a win at Portman Road.
The Blades' last success on a visit to the ground came in March 1975 and Warnock admits he has few happy memories of trips to Suffolk.
"I can't remember ever winning at Ipswich," he told the club's official website. "We go there with high hopes. It will be awkward, but every game is difficult in this league."
Warnock has not forgotten the 5-1 hammering his side suffered at the hands of the Tractor Boys last season. But he added: "The squad has changed since they beat us 5-1. They have lost the likes of (Darren) Bent and (Shefki) Kuqi.
"But they have others and Alan Lee will be wanting to impress on his debut."

To keep up my tremendous run of pessimism.
0-2 to the blades, with Alan Lee going off injured after 20 minutes.

It's worth betting on Alan Lee scoring. Quite a few players have scored on their debut for town recently, Forster, Unsworth etc.
