TheEnchanter Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Very similar to us. Very effective team, tough to play against, utilise the resources they have very well, don't spend much or have the 'flair' players very much like us. Had a great season last season and I can see them and us being similar this season. Hopefully chasing that 6th place spot. They are brushing aside a talented Wigan side with ease with great solidity coming from a strong defence and a hardworking team. Remind you of us? Looking at what there squad achieved last year (just missed out on the play offs) I believe we can do similar and probably better. Just my thoughts to provoke a bit of discussion on a dull monday night. Edited September 22, 2014 by TheEnchanter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Oh also, Andy Delort cost Wigan £2M+ and looks bang average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We'll both be there or thereabouts come the end of the season. Both 'solid teams' - we probably just have a better defence than them right now whilst they have a better goalscorer in McGoldrick....though if Stevie May carries on...who knows.

RUMBELOWS91 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Working hard and well organised, so yes- I see what you mean. On the other hand Wigan have gone seriously backwards. On another point we need to reclaim the black shorts - it's our unique identity, not bloody Wigan's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Wigan score so actually we are better than Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yeah been quite impressed with Ipswich tonight, although they have just conceded. They have some pretty good young players, but will they keep them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday_Jack Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 All McCarthy's sides are hard to beat...there horrible to watch but he knows how to tighten thing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Whilst Ipswich have spent big in recent years they have cut their cloth accordingly in recent years. I was thinking to myself the other day that we are very similar to them in the sense that we are a decent, now established side at this level, but perhaps lack that bit extra to really force the promotion issue.

GY-owl.4 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think the Tractor Boys will be in the mix come play off time, good side. I quite like them too, Probably more so because i dont like Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Whilst Ipswich have spent big in recent years they have cut their cloth accordingly in recent years. Realised my error here They spent big previously and have cut their cloth accordingly under McCarthy recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
