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? 🤔

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

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

People still thinking Ipswich are getting 95 points plus

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. 

 

Remembered these from when a few of us on here had the cheek to celebrate Ipswich dropping points - thought they were bizarre takes then, and they've aged like milk.

Still confident they don't get 95 points....

 

Charity bet if you want?

I haven’t been in the “Ipswich can’t catch us” camp but not sure about bringing up old posts….each to their own but would personally let it go and say let’s hope they end up being right 🤷🏻‍♂️

Leeds & Ipswich nailed on. Bet the mortgage!!

Not Sure, don't rule out Southampton.

 

But we finish 4th, just so we can watch us fold in a 2 legged playoff against West Brom

[when_you're_smiling]

I actually want Leeds and Ipswich to win today to be honest. Clutching at straws but hoping it might wake our players up a bit.

Not even sure it'll do that.

Let’s be honest on current form you certainly wouldn’t mind playing us on current form, teams generally on a upward trajectory on good form do well in the playoffs

Southampton one nil up. Think the rest of the day needs to be football free for me for my sanity.

At least we would avoid the ignominy of losing to Cov.

Mate I need some other hobby, I've been losing the plot the past 2 years.

 

If we fail to go up I'm gonna do a lot less games next season.

Probably overtake us before it gets to the game in hand

[fazzyfox]

Pesky Southampton not playing fair by actually coming out of the blocks strong and trying to score early in games, have a word Enzo, it’s against the spirit of the game.

[JimJams]

Gonna be weird when Ipswich lose and Leeds get hammered by 3 and we return to the top of the table later....

The best thing for you mate, I've completely switched off whether we've won, drew or lost this season, mentally recharges you 🤣

whats annoying is, all the defeats weve had this season we could have easily got something, we've missed some guilt edge chances in them too

think thats why im more annoyed with this one atm, cos its happening a fair bit

That's 90% of Championship games though, even the crap teams have 3 or 4 good chances to beat the good teams and end up missing them.

 

Look how many chances we were giving away against Sheff Weds, Huddersfield, Cov, Rotherham at the start of the season.

[Twitcher]

Southampton still very much part of this. Four clubs involved. They finish what they've started today, win their game in hand, and they're just 3 points behind automatic promotion.

ours seem to be better than just good chances, like today's, ones against leeds, Vardy's miss from 6yrds out against Boro(i think)

 

we are missing chances that on another day we score, thats the annoying part about how we are atm; like today Vardy should have scored least 2 for me

 

 

Coventry flying atm, got Leeds and Ipswich still, could be some entertaining games there

They seem to be under no pressure, watching them float crossing in with no pace or direction, watching Fatawu do some stupid backheels, watching them just casually hit the ball at the GK with golden chances, I don't understand what's going on.

[Pliskin]

Leeds’s title to lose now after today, and Ipswich’s form is relentless, top two is now comfortably theirs.

We will finish 4th when Saints win their game in hand and beat us

im with you there, its like theyve left their brains at home at times with the decision making

[Twitcher]

We are getting battered on X etc. Nothing to be said in response today.

However, we've just got to hang in there; Enzo, players, fans. We are still very much in this notwithstanding our current form.

Let's hope teams can do us a favour today, get some encouragement from that, and win on Monday.

I'm usually a pessimist but I could never have envisaged just how badly the wheels would come off. Thanks for reminding me of happier times!
