Sizewell, probably.

This is a very important game for us. It's all about form and momentum now. Every player should be busting a gut to be selected. 0-3 to us and do it in style.

I see Ipswich are 9/2 and we are 3/4 today. Don't think i'll be backing us at those short odds.

I agree about the importance of today's game, but I'm not sharing your optimism of a 0-3 victory. I obviously hope you're right, mind - and we don't labour to the bore-draw that I'm predicting.

It doesn't really matter. Suspect this will have all the drama of a preseason game


We are going to win 7 of our next 8 games. We might slip up against Millwall with a draw.

Can't imagine the Ipswich players will be too bothered today. Id give Bree a shot at right back, bring in Davis up front. Snodgrass and Elmo to rest up.

Johnstone, Bree, Jedi, Chester, Taylor, Adamoah, Whelan, Onomoah, Grabban, Grealish, Davis.

Alan Brazil’s debut for Manure at old trafford is still a subject of great mirth and gave rise to the expression” couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo”
It was like watching a space hopper with legs in a red shirt.

Ipswich expecting a large crowd today as they have reduced prices (anyone under 19 in for £1).

At the station hotel opposite the ground, in the sun, great day so far.
