Ipswich's main threat, DJ Campbell has gone back to QPR. Which is good for us.

They have signed mcgoldrick though who has been banging in loads of goals for coventry this season.

Cup tied?

Not sure on that one coops, he was on loan from forest so I don't know if they allowed him to play in the cup or not .

Could easily see this being a draw and then getting knocked out in the replay, anyway we have bigger priorities!

According to Soccerbase he hasn't played in the FA Cup this season.

Oh right, I thought he was a Cov player not a loanee.
Carrry on.

Ipswich are shit.  They could sign Messi to play tomorrow and we'd still murder them.

They've won their last two away games.

They seem better suited away from home in recent games, probably less pressure on them on their travels , McCarthy may see the league as a bigger priority and rest a few , with a semi final coming up hopefully those coming in will be out to prove a point and earn a place - difficult really to know what to expect until the line ups are revealed.

I'd be loathe to rush anybody back for this one, in case they break down.
Especially Gabby and Bent, forward speaking we've got options with Bowery in reserve.

Give him a run.

As they were both back from loan (AFAIAA) I'd rather wondered if Hutton and Warnock would be given a run out to give a couple of the kids a rest...

Is anyone else more relaxed knowing this is not a league game?

No. I'm desperate to see us win the FA Cup before I join the others in the sky.
