Great finish....

Huge whiff of 12/13 LCFC about Ipswich

[martyn]

Goalkeeper slow across to that 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Why do we want Ipswich to lose? Isn't it better for us to have them in the mix for 2nd place applying more pressure to Southampton and Leeds? 🤔

[ARM1968]

Are we actually celebrating Ipswich losing?  I’d prefer them to win personally and keep the three chasers concentrating on each other.

It's better if they drop points, yes. As is the case for Saints and Leeds.

People still thinking Ipswich are getting 95 points plus

Exactly what I was about to say. They're 13 points behind you FFS.

Doesn't matter what the chasers do.

 

Have faith.

We're hoping all 3 lose 😊

So because they're 13 points behind we should...want them to win?

[Mickyblueeyes]

Anything less than 3 points for Ipswich turns the 4 horse race to 3.

You shouldn't care what they do unless they're playing Leeds or Saints. 

[DennisNedry]

Just me wanting Ipswich to win?

 

There's no way in hell they're catching us and I'd much rather see them promoted than Southampton and Leeds.

We are all very recent sufferers of 13 point leads disappearing very quickly. Granted, that was in the PL but the impact is very real.

Don't get me wrong, I understand your thinking but what's the probability all three of them dropping points today? I'd say around 1-2%?

I've really enjoyed this match.

 

Good football, or are my standards that compromised by six months of watching the Championship?

It’s been competitive, better than watching Man City v Everton I watched the first half of that.

I don't understand? I just don't think its that absurd to want the team in 4th to lose  People saying "urm, actually you should want them to win because it could mean (hypothetical situation x, y and z)" is more baffling to me.

I have both 2 games on the screen and this one was much more enjoyable than the Man City vs Everton game.

Here’s a young boy who didn’t have the hare and the tortoise read to him as a child. Don’t underestimate the chasers mate, especially the fat one or that weird bird. They know things. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Rather have Ipswich drop further behind now and have to actually beat Southampton in April and not be in a don't lose mindset when they play.
