Keep on Running Last year we lost 3-1 @ Hartlepool. Arguably we had a better team out then. Bring back Captain Sparrow

Yep, that's what I think. Time to work on so new tactics and get El-Abd fit. I don't like the 4-2-3-1.

Like playing away at Stoke.

Championship Portman Road :goal: Latest score: Ipswich Town 0 Brighton & Hove Albion 1 :clap2: A-L-B-I-O-N

Can't tell from the commentary, but it does seem Albion are playing a 4-2-3-1.

Ipswich seem to be passing the ball to Ankers.

Vicente seems to be justifying his inclusion.

It sounds the least promising of all the games this season. It feels like playing Wigan. We will have more possession but they are keen to play the long ball. And we have not got any near their goal.

Did Paul Clark debut at White Hart Lane and hit the bar from a shot early on (at the far end)?

Sounds like Ipswich are chasing around fruitlessly in the heat.

Carlos Andrews getting into space. This gap has been the accusation of the 4-2-3-1 (or variants thereof). I am not sure if this criticism is valid or not?

Palace put us up to fourth Ipswich shooting from long range.

I think we will play a sort of 4-3-3 without a decent central midfielder, more like 4-2-1-3. We are a play-off contending team afterall. Or 4-2-2-2.

On paper Ipswich look quite good up front: 13. David Stockdale 7. Carlos Edwards 31. Ibrahima Sonko 25. Danny Collins 3. Aaron Cresswell 15. Keith Andrews 6. Grant Leadbitter 21. Jimmy Bullard 8. Lee Bowyer 14. Jason Scotland 10. Michael Chopra SUBS 12. Arran Lee-Barrett (GK) 5. Damien Delaney...

Only one change in the starting XI from the one I predicted/wanted. I had Sparrow in and Vicente omitted. Same narrow formation, but Sparrow is a box-to-box midfielder and Vicente is a specialist. But my subs choice was different. It also explains the distaste of Arrigo Sacchi (AC Milan 90s)...

Is it going to be 4-2-3-1 like Leicester played against us? 4-2-3-1 formation as played by Valenica 2001-2004

Less than 50% of penalties scored in the Premier League this season (according to Radio 5). The way to take a penalty is to smash (i.e. kick) the ball hard into the top corner of the net.

What formation will we play? 4-2-3-1 4-4-2 4-3-3 Another ?
