Need to freshen it up a bit

I’ll be heading up for this one. It can’t be any worse than last season’s game surely . . .

Bruce is taking it seriously and has respect for Mick McCarthy so I think we will be prepared at least. It does worry me though, Ipswich changed the trajectory of last season for the worse, I hope they don't do the same again.

In my opinion the best way to beat a McCarthy side is to keep the ball and slowly work your way into a solid attack. This gives our quality the best chance to use their skills. Get into a hoofball contest and they win.

Nail biter but 1-0 to the good guys.

Get Jack involved and we'll win. Otherwise a draw.

I think this has the potential for a dull 0-0 or 1-1 written all over it.

Can't see Ipswich winning at Villa Park 2 seasons running. If anyone will nick it, it will be us. We need Davis to bully their back line like he did with their East Anglian cousins.

Have Ipswich got any 'experienced' defenders though? That was Davis' problem against Sunderland, from what I read.

I wouldn't know any of the Ipswich players if I fell over them in the street so no idea.
this.  Gone for a draw, based on absolutely nothing.

Mick McCarthy you say? I'd be tempted to play one in the hole.

Couple of fresh faces needed to give a bit more impetus. The extra days rest will help.

They were utter bilge last year, had one shot and scored. They're more attacking this time but even worse defensively. Without McGoldrick they've lost a key player. No excuses for not beating these.

Johnstone
Taylor
Chester
Samba
Hutton

Jedinak
Hourihane
Grealish

Snodgrass
Davis
Adomah

Lansbury to get a good half hour as well.

Need a win ahead of a very tough looking December. 2-1 to the Villa.

I'm going to go 2-1 to us, as well.

Davis (he's due one, surely?), and Snodgrass for us.

COME ON THE VILLA BOYS!

I'd like to see a fit Grealish linking up the play just behind Davis for this game. Apparently Grealish was going to be an important feature of Bruce's team this season before his injury, so it's time for Bruce to show his hand and put his plan for him into effect. Come on the Villa boys, let's win this one!!

Does that Scotland centre half (Berra) still play for Ipswich? He really does look like a pub player playing Sunday morning park football.
