Well that list of strengths has certainly made me feel much better after last night's match.

Reading all about Norwich fills me with dread
Instead of Delia saying " lets be avin ya" it will be a case of "how many can we score"

 

[saxman]

We'll see, football's a funny game.

 

[StrictlyGreen]

We can't go into this match thinking we will lose, otherwise what's the point of the players even leaving the players tunnel? I'll be there and will watch the clock....can we keep a clean sheet for 10 minutes? If we can, that'll give players confidence we can keep a clean sheet for the next 10 and so on. We might even score- got to be hopeful here

Barrington Belgrave came from Norwich (didn’t play for first team).

 

[Keepitgreen]

They're currently 1-0 down at home to Leicester with about 12 minutes to go. Hope they've had a tough game.

 

[Greenscombe]

I hope the penny may have dropped last night in that this formation leaves us too open when we lose possession. So a return to 3 at the back for me.

FT Norwich 0 Leicester 2

The Canaries will almost certainly be fired up when they play us on Saturday

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Granted Norwich were playing a very good Leicester team tonight but they didn't look that good, losing 2-0.
Ashley Barnes went off injured, their two centre-backs are slow so Hardie, if selected, should do well although Gibson was subbed late in the game because of injury.
They have a short corner routine we should be wary of.

 

[John Cooper]

Harvey Lim played 1st half of a pre season 0-6 defeat against Charlton. Whilst on Norwich books, dont think he played a 1st match for them?

 

[Tavy Tony]

If Ipswich play the same as they did tonight against Leicester the match on Saturday is winnable as long as we do not conceed early goals.

 

[CarolinaGreen]

I've been casting a vote for a loss for a bit now I think. Put us down for a win to see if that helps matters.

The trouble is, we're playing Norwich.
