Blackpool based Scott Oldham will referee today’s big match at Portman Road.

Last season Oldham officiated in 33 EFL matches issuing 70 yellow cards and no reds.

Last U’s match refereed - March 26th 2021 Oxford Utd 2-1 Lincoln City

Gavin Whyte missing for us - do Ipswich have any international call-ups?

 

[The mighty Aldo]

Tough game,Ipswich are coming into some form. Hope we can sneak a win but think it will end in a 1-1 draw

 

[oufc1991]

To very good teams going toe -toe in front of a decent sized crowd could be 0-0 both teams stopping the other from playing there natural game or could be high scoring
1-3

First time to Portman Road for me.

I’ve done a lateral flow test and have my COVID vaccination passport to hand too as it’s a requirement.

Don’t forget that today for those who are travelling to it!

(I’ll be amazed if they’re checking these that closely but better to be safe than sorry!)

 

[Scotchegg]

A tough game today, but one where we can expect to compete. Last season I think we lost some of the bigger games before we stood on the pitch. We gave too much respect to the opposition and tried to change our game. The last couple of months have seen us toughen up a little and there's no reason to change what has worked for us but look to minimise mistakes at the back and put away enough of our chances upfront.

I think it's most likely to be a draw, but you've got to be positive so;

Ipswich 1 Oxford 2 (Holland and Henry)

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Think it'll be a score draw as we always concede. I'd be more than happy with a point.

 

[Oxford1996]

Take a 0-0 and move along

 

[Mojofilter]

Cheeky win 2-1 for us.

For those of you not going today, it looks like there will be a stream online somewhere, if I find one at kick off I'll drop it in - is that allowed here?

Made my Saturday the hope of watching this one!

1 - 3 to the yellows

 

[Yellow There!]

Probably already been mentioned but just read that we are first in the form tables. All the goals that have been missing from previous encounters will appear. We can win this one.
2-1

Will be the toughest match this season so far. We’ve coped fairly well so far a couple of unwanted blips. If today’s result goes our way then yes we will be a force to reckon with and rather than read opposition fans come up with silly score predictions they might say this is a tough one and predict a more sensible score line.
