This will be Smith's sixth time in charge of an Ipswich game this season with a record so far of three wins and two draws for the Tractor Boys.
Smith will be assisted at Home Park by Matt Jones and Sam Lewis while Keith Stroud is on fourth official duties.

Our next 2 League games are against teams who were promoted with us from League 1 - did the fixture computer think we were still in League 1
Hope the referee has the measure of Mr 12 yellow cards Morsy
Still smarting from the injustice of the last time we met & Mr Edmundson still being on the pitch
The Tractor Boys personnel has not had substantial changes but they have Omari Hutchinson on loan from Chelsea who is currently scoring for fun
Will certainly be an intriguing afternoon on Saturday

 

[Ray Stidwell]

I noticed that “Fridge” Edmonson appears to be not playing at the moment.

 

[Andy B.]

I wish we had someone like Lee Hodges - (who loved a tackle) in the squad. Give Morsy a welcome to Home Park reducer early on.


Snap him in half, leave him dazed on the deck....job done.

Will it be the Middlesbrough Argyle or the WBA Argyle who turn up this week? Hopefully the latter given that we've had the rare luxury of a week off. Ipswich are in good form again now but I don't think they're quite the irresistible force they were earlier in the season, and they know how hard it will be to keep up with the rest of the top four, particularly Leeds.

Ipswich bang in form again. This is gonna be a tough one. I'd take a point.

 

[Lousy Pint]

I see they're bringing their own ref with them?!!?

The latter?! That's the West Brom version? I hope you mean the former.

 

[Joe Totale]

Still feel cheated from a few months ago at Portman Road. Let's hope karma exists

Good catch! I'm not that much of a masochist!

Too true. They are third in the table for a reason. Only lost 4 with goal difference of +23. Won their last four matches, drew 2-2 with WBA but did get beat 2-1 away to Preston earlier in the month.

I'd take a draw as well.

I take a draw as well,like a win but happy with a draw.
