Ipswich Town v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 06.02.21

[Yarmouth Seasider]

I'll put it out there now - you should always play your best players and Ballard is a better player than Thorniley!

I agree, but surely if he's not even on the bench, he's injured?

 

[Tangerinenick]

Simms should be starting.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Tough game to call this, to be 100% honest, I'd take a point now

 

[AndrewDuncanSmith]

I hope Kaikai decides to take part in the game today!

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Simms should be starting.

I agree, with a view to him making way on 60 mins for Embleton in a straight swap.

 

[Suddick's Ghost]

Maybe Simms has a bit of a knock as well. Not like us to play without a recognised target man.

 

[Suddick's Ghost]

I hope Kaikai decides to take part in the game today!

I can be his biggest critic, but he played his part on tuesday.

 

[HodderSeasider]

I assume Ballard and Grettarson are both injured ?

Ballard was on the bench on Tuesday, so has he managed to get injured in training? He appears very fragile! That's why I was calling out for centre half cover in the transfer window

 

[tangerine_neil]

Simms should be starting.

It’s a mistake to isolate Yates. Seen that already this season

Faint heart never won fair maiden, Yarmouth.

 

[tangerine_neil]

Should be the other way round imo

 

[HodderSeasider]

I assume Ballard and Grettarson are both injured ?

We all know Grettarson is injured, but Ballard was on the bench last Tuesday so what 's up with him? Probably twisted his sock or strained his eyelash!

 

[gjr69]

Could be the old Terry Venables Christmas tree formation!
Maxwell
Back 4
Dougall virtue stewart
Embleton kaikai
Yates.

Might do a job.

 

[voyeur]

Yes the EFL has it as a 4-4-1-1 formation with Embleton playing directly behind Yates as a sole striker. Odd.

And the EFL is always right.

 

[Insider]

Luke Matheson the ex-Rochdale £1m wonderkid starts for Ipswich, on loan from Wolves.

 

[Towerpower99]

We really need a positive result today....as a loss could leave us in a group on 34pts and a large gap up to 39pts and the 40pts teams...big game COYP.

 

[Mark_GT]

He's done it before.
Does anyone else find our kit looks red rather than tangerine on ifollow?

 

[LA1 Seasider]

Looks like we’re going to press and put as much pressure on their back line as possible. It’s nice having the options to switch styles up if we need.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Nobbers 0 Rotherham 1 first minute own goal

 

[TangerineTed]

Nobbers losing before we’ve even kicked off :-D

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Win today, win Tuesday we will be right in the mix

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Matt Scrafton

@matt_scrafton

2 - Seasiders lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Elliot Embleton in the no.10 role behind Jerry Yates (0-0)

 

[Hevster]

Feeling a 1-1 game to me and I'd be happy with a point from today. What I'm less happy with is my ifollow is all over the shop!

 

[South shore lad]

He's done it before.

It’s because our kit isn’t tangerine anymore! It’s dark orange. I made a post about this a few months ago

 

[Memphisboy]

If Ballard is injured you have to worry he is a bit fragile as he has been out injured a lot.

For a big strapping centre half he seems a bit of a soft lad Ballard

 

[tangerine.com]

Looking at the stats it seem’s pool flew out of the starting block.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Sunderland and Charlton both winning
Edit
MK Dons 1 Sunderland 1

I hope that's a shit joke!

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Mick Mills saying about the timing of off-side decisions just what everyone in the country believes.

@BlackpoolFC

6' - No opportunities of note in the opening minutes.

 

[Alf]

Confident. Lucky socks on. If we all put are lucky stuff on we’re bound to end the hoodoo.

Lucky shirt on

 

[1966_and_all_that]

All tangerine...not happy.

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

I hope Kaikai decides to take part in the game today!

You mean like on Tuesday when he was quality

Not watching ifollow

@matt_scrafton


Good to see Garbutt, Ward and Lubala all back on the bench today. Pool still without six though (Ballard, Gretarsson, Robson, Anderson, Hamilton and Madine).

So Ballard definitely unavailable. Not that there is any chance at all that was just rested or dropped.

 

[JJpool]

Not really been the best on the ball so far...

 

[TangerinePeel]

Almost 3 in 3 for Ekpiteta there, would have been getting ridiculous at that point!

 

[voyeur]

Not watching ifollow

neither am I

 

[johnnyb]

Should have scored

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Great delivery from Kai Kai, should be 0-1

 

[thefutureistangerine]

Playing some good stuff down the left hand side but it looks boggy

 

[TangerinePeel]

How tight is Ipswich's ground to the pitch

 

[straightatthewall]

Just been told by an Ipswich supporting mate that their starting x1 have a combined total of 3 goals this season

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Cameraman's making me feel a bit queasy.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

MK 2 Sunderland 1

 

[TangerinePeel]

Not bad from Embleton there

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

We are slowly getting on top here.
Looking more dangerous
If we score first Ipswich heads may drop
They are on a poor run and have lost 7 times at home

 

[tangysider]

Thought someone said Thorniley was slow, he sprinted back to defend faster than anyone

 

[Ormergod]

Ref going to sort this Wolfenden out or what foul every time the ball is in the air.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Why two short corners in a row..
