We did beat them this season and we have shared the points, that's an average of 1.5 a game over 2 games. If Hudds beat or draw with Leeds and Reading this month they will be doing us a favour. Reading will have their own tough game against playoff chasing Barnsley tomorrow. Newcastle v Derby should be an interesting one today.
Nothing that a win tomorrow wouldn't sort out, and even 4 points over the next two games wouldn't be a disaster.

I apologise.
Presumably Barnsley aren't as tough a challenge having just sold their best players.

Last year we lost 4-1 away to Cardiff on the Saturday and bounced back to win 4-0 On Tuesday at Bristol City. Calm down everyone.

On the 'ead son!
Let's face it, we haven't played well for a while, but we have been getting results. We had the same problem last year when we had a bad run due to injuries. Baldock's absence has had more of an impact up front than any of us could have seen or predicted. Our back four have been weakened by injuries and suspensions, and our midfield just are not the same with-out Stephens in there.
Not having Bruno in the team has affected Knockeart going forward, and our left side has been hit and miss all season.
All of these things affect the equilibrium of the team, and that has obviously had a detrimental affect on the way we have played. A month ago, we might have got a draw from Huddersfield and Preston, but we are not at full strength. And as much as the Lincoln game was bizarre, i think it's knocked the players. they know we should have won that game, and they probably feel embarrassed that they let themselves down and the fans.
Hughton is a good manager, and he will need all his strength and ability to get us through this. I think he will, but it may not happen till we have our first 11 back playing regularly again.

This is true but they play good football throughout. We will have to see how they cope but it doesn't mean they will roll over.

I imagine he might sacrifice a little flair for more grit in midfield tomorrow.
Its a little harsh asking Reading to play Barnsley tomorrow after Ipswich today

Sorry, next week. Talking of Ipswich they are 1 up.
Indeed. Good old Mick McCarthy
Let's save the praise until the final whistle.

Reasonable result Ipswich v Reading as I fully expected Reading to get a late winner as they usually do.
