Still no centre backs so I was hoping we’d go with three in the middle today. Watson sits too deep for a flat 4-4-2 and the lack of width in the diamond can lead to our centre halves being got at with crosses and late runs in to the box if we’re not careful. With Washington out though our options are a bit limited. Hopefully Chuks can get at them early and we can come away with a result. Going to be a tough match this one

Could be 3 in the middle, OS says it could be 4-4-2, 4-3-3 or a diamond.
I'm surprised Barker isn't in the starting 11 but I'm sure Bows has a reason for it. Would've liked to fill all the sub spots but if they're not gonna play then it's not that important.
I think both teams will score and it will be close but I'll go with a 2-1 win for ua
It's interesting that Levitt had the Coronavirus test because he actually felt ill on Tuesday, whereas most positive cases involving players have been asymptomatic
After a positive test, he'll definitely miss MKD and possibly Shrewsbury as well
Not sure what to expect today after the poor performance on Tuesday. We normally do very well against opponents higher up the league so I am quietly optimistic. However, someone commented post match against Burton that there maybe some dressing room unrest which could have been behind the performance. I seriously hope not. If we are not fully focused today I cannot see us getting anything from the game. Ipswich should be as a win for them would put them in joint second place in the table. I hope my doubts will be proved wrong and we can return to winning ways coupled with a much improved performance.
I thought the dressing room unrest stuff was started as a joke?
One bad performance, where Bows takes off a couple of players because they are not performing and some armchair psychologist makes a comment about 'dressing room unrest' and somehow it becomes a talking point.

That and Maddison going off down the tunnel when he was subbed off.

It could be. I would be slightly surprised if Bowyer put Williams or Morgan in that wide role given that he likes some pace coming in from the wing but I think he’s put Albie there before. I’d be happy if that’s what he decided to do, especially as putting Albie there would give us a bit more defensive shape off the ball
Very happy to see Chuks and Albie starting. Even though Chuks can't last more than around 60 minutes, I'd much rather he puts us ahead early than being bought on to try and rescue a game towards the end.
Hopefully we put the last two performances to bed with a convincing one today
Pratley should be no where near the back four we do miss him in the middle
Pratley is a fine CB at this level. Whether we need him in the middle depends on whether we think Watson is any good there.
I gather you never see Tuesday game then.
I watched the whole thing. Pratley has played CB numerous times this season and generally done very well. You seem to want to base your opinion on one game.
Are we now expecting Chuks to last the whole game...doubtful so why start him he has proved his worth as a 2nd half Beast. Be interesting to see how this goes in the first 45

Football doesn’t work like that, sometimes players have to play in another position.
No doubt if Bowyer played Barker with Pearce and we lost by a few the rule would be to only play those who are fully fit or to never play a teenager at CB in a big game.

Ipswich approx. 13/10 us 21/10 all week.
After line ups announced.
Ipswich 2/1 us 13/8.
My Ipswich supporting mate said their injury crisis is like nothing he’s ever seen (didn’t wanna be billy two sheds and tell him about ours).
I fancy us now.
I think both teams will score and it will be close but I'll go with a 2-1 win for ua

if you have an HDMI lead you can watch it on your tv
This could get bad.
get him in the line up. I don’t care if he has no right leg, him hopping has to be better than last Tuesdays shitshow!
so why start him he has proved his worth as a 2nd half Beast.
Be interesting to see how this goes in the first 45
Nailed On!
