Ipswich vs PNE

[TomPNE94]

Missing only my 2nd game of the season (sad face) but I can't justify it to myself. Been a very long month and £32.50 plus travel is just unaffordable atm (especially after losing my only car key on Tuesday night and having to fork out £250 to get it re-configured!), plus none of my mates fancy going either!

As for the game, despite 3 wins on the bounce I just can't see us getting anything here. We usually do well against teams like Bristol City who like to get the ball down and aren't very physical, when we get matched up in that sense our flair players (Gally, Johnson) tend to go missing a bit.

Hoping we can snatch a point though and maintain our #PLAYOFFPUSH

Tough, tough game, think the best we can hope for is grinding out a draw but I suppose we went to Burnley and earned a 2-0 win when I had zero confidence of a result.

Not sure if Pearson is sharp enough to start two in a week after going off with cramp on Tuesday night and I don't think Grimshaw will be thrown in at the deep end.

Think Doyle might retain his place with Robinson saved to run at tired legs later in the game.

Hopefully we see Vermijl back in the side as well, Callum Woods can't play that wingback role. No idea what the situation with Reach's injury is.

How much did that set you back?

The trains back look disgusting, changes all over the shop with some of them bus services. Fuck this country.

I'm in Germany this weekend, return flights cost me less than what it costs to get to Leeds on the train.

 

[markwwfc1992]

This game will be 1-1

 

[Veggie Legs]

I hope we play the same team/formation as Tuesday, there's so much more variation to our attacks with Sears and Fraser playing off Murphy and I think we'll need that against a strong defence. Tight game, but we should win it... 1-0.

£32 for the match ticket (Think they undercharged me on this) and then on the train 1st class return was around £38 i think.

However looking for match tickets im not entirely sure where i've put them

Did you get an advanced fare? bit of a bargain that.

 

[mossypne]

Did you get an advanced fare? bit of a bargain that.

6 of us are going and 1 has a Virgin travellers card that gets them 2 free First class tickets every weekend. So we;ve split the cost of 4 between 6 of us.

Booked em just after the Burnley game

 

[mossypne]

FFS Going to have to go shell out for another 3 tickets.

Actually can't find em anywhere And the other 2 have already paid me for them ha ha So it's me that will have to just shell out

PNE will have a record of the sale so you might be able to just get replacements.

I've rang already and spoke to the foreign lady and she said no they can't

Ah that's fucking annoying but if it's the blonde, Polish bird you're referring to, she's a belter.

Good luck finding them.

Nope 32 sounds right for upper tier in a grade B game. Although some Town fans will be getting tickets for a tenner if they know a season ticket holder!

Really positive performance on Tuesday so hopefully we can take it into this one

nah they did. As the 3 extra i bought today where £32.50 but oh well ha ah they've got £180 out of me for this game!

 

[mossypne]

Just arrived. Easier journey than some London games that! Any other pubs besides punch and Judy and riverside allow away fans?

 

[TomPNE94]

1-0 up through Johnson, could be 2 after Gally put a free kick inches wide.

 

[TractorBoys]

Think we'll win this if it carries on like it is currently, other than the opening 10 Preston haven't really created anything.

Not doing enough to be ahead just yet by the sounds of it but the chances will hopefully come.

 

[TomPNE94]

We've been the better side according to our fans at the game.

 

[TractorBoys]

Possession fairly close at HT, with us edging it. More importantly though reports that you don't really have a goal threat.

Would like to see us come out positive and really take the game to you this half.

 

[TractorBoys]

Well on top now, sustained pressure. COYB's...

I've watched the whole second half and it's only us who look like scoring.

You haven't had a single shot on target in this half?!

Can't see you scoring.

 

[TractorBoys]

Goal line scramble to deny us the 2nd, SSN confirming we're on top.

#tintedspecs?

Edit; and now gamesmanship from Preston. You really are hanging on. Frustrating.

 

[TomPNE94]

You've had one shot which Johnstone saved. Other than the last 5 minutes you've not threatened. We had a goal disallowed.

How is that relevant? Keyword is disallowed.

Match stats say it all.

Lucky boy.
