Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Mossie Hennebry]

I think it's 541. Kodj up top on his lonesome. JEDI as part of a three at the back for his heading ability.

Would be interested to hear how they line up from anyone that's there.

[Chris Jameson]

Long journey this down here from the north west. Gutted to read on getting in the ground that we've lost. What a debacle.

At least you can set off home now Ads and beat the traffic.

[aj2k77]

We need Jedinak to not do any fuck ups. Get Jack on the ball and players around him and get some support to Kodj.

[CJ]

So Jedinak definitely starting at CH. Well done Bruce

[robleflaneur]

Is there a possibility that it is three at the back - Tuanzebe, Chester and Jedinak, with Elmo and Hutton at wing back?

That would be the only redeeming feature .How Bruce ,with McGinn and Grealish in the team,manages to come up with such a turgid line up is quite amazing.
Keep it tight lads.It's away in the Championship.
What's the point of an academy with Bruce in charge ?Might as well save the money,so he can bring in some more experience.

How on earth do you come to the conclusion that it’s a turgid line up with the intention to keep it tight? It’s a team full of attacking players.  Yeah we’d prob all like to see more of Green and RHM, but they’re likely to play a part.  That is a pretty ambitious team in my view, not a turgid one.

Unless,it's 3 at the back.It could be Axel a central defender at RB or Jedi reinforcing a midfield short of pace and Albert short of form and  a defensive wide player in Elmo with an isolated striker which works so well under Bruce.
Where's the ambition ?

[Deano's Mullet]

We in the home or away kit? We've won both there over the years.

So we've lost already... I guess the only other question is how many Leeds are winning by?

Yes very annoying!

[themossman]

Late to this, we lost I take it?

Feels like it in here doesn't it....

Zzzzzz

[brontebilly]

TVs image doesn't work. Redsox?

That's a really poor selection

Tuanzebe....right back....RDL did fine v Yeovil doesn't even make squad today? Tuanzebe already seems a ridiculous signing in a position where we had four decent options.

Jedinak...centre half? I wasn't impressed by Tuanzebe the other night but surely Ipswich is the kind of game to properly test him.

Elmo...right wing v Ipswich? Granted Green can't complain about being dropped but Elmo is not a short , medium or long term option in that position.

Looks suspiciously as if Bruce is pointedly playing the likes of Jedinak and Elmo in those positions in order to highlight the need to bring in other players.

[achilles]

For me, it is a sad indictment of Bruce that into his third season and with knowing the line-up, we are guessing as to how we will play?!

I'm not obsessed with formations as intent/approach and the level of performance wins (or loses) games but it is a clear signal of a plan and some sense of what the intent/approach will be, i.e. how will we win the ball back and how are we organised to create chances. UTV.

This hits the nail on the head for me, we have the team news and have no idea how they will line up, only for the inevitable fact that square pegs are going in round holes AGAIN!

Yes.about 2 seconds in front of the ahem "action"

[CJ]

Ipswich hit the bar. Just after commentator said they have no real attacking threat
