Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[Risso]

Went there the one and only time on the opening day in 1992, 5 or 6 of us sat in the middle of the home end, was starting to get a bit niggly with the home fans until our late equaliser revealed that there were pockets of Villa fans everywhere.

Went there under Bruce in the Championship. Quite an easy ground to get to, a longish drive but one road all the way there. Easy to park and some decent pubs near the ground.

A little concerned that injuries are biting already - 6 potentially unavailable Sunday is it? Should have enough to beat these though before 2 massive games next week when we could do with some players back.

6 ?

Yes thats a valid point and one its a tad concerning. If we still had enzo and illing jr i think we would be good squad wise. The squads a but unbalanced because evn if we had illing jr we are stacked in that position same with enzo.

We desperately needed a right back

As for sundays game i we go in favourites but wont be easy.  Wouldn't be suprised id this was our first draw of the season

[Risso]

Well Mings and Kamara are a given at the moment, then there's Cash, JPB, SJM and probably Carlos now.

[usav]

Do we know how long Cash is out for?

And this game being on a Sunday is just annoying with the Bayern game coming up.

Enjoy Unai proving me wrong but I’d play Barkley, Maatsen and Duran from the start in this one!

[PaulWinch again]

I wouldn’t. Will be tricky defensively, but they’re pretty open to attack against.

[darren woolley]

2-0 Villa win.

As an adopted son of Norwich, it is incumbent on me to try even harder to make sure we batter Ipshit. I'll be honest, I don't even know how I could try harder. Or less.

  Living in London 80/81, Monday's Evening News
  (and probably the Standard) printed the Division
  One league table with four teams in bold lettering
........ Arsenal, Tottenham, Palace - and Ipswich. Bit
  Bit short of top sides in the capital back then. So
  London Ipswich it was.

Been there a few times, once for one of the worst games I've ever seen, settled by a comedy own goal by a lad named Chris Swailes who I'd never heard of before, or since. He probably kept us up, at least temporarily. Most goals did back then.

They've drawn three in a row. Feels very rare that promoted sides go four unbeaten at the start of a new season, so a nervy 1-0 to us I reckon.

I don't have it in me to predict a clean sheet. We could have 10 Mr. Creosotes in front of the goal all stacked up and I still wouldn't predict it.

We've got less chance of a clean sheet than a man with terminal diarrhoea.
