Ipswich – Boxing Day 3pm
A bit about you:
Name: Alan – age 48, Ipswich Town fan since late 1960's. Season Ticket Holder, disillusioned by the performance of last few seasons.
Current home town: Sudbury, Suffolk
Birthplace: Surrey
How long have you supported your team? 43 years
Overview of your club:
Under achievers. Have good moments though. Some strange management decisions.
Favourite thing about your home ground: It’s very good for our level of achievement. Quite proud of it.
Favourite match played by your team & why: Ipswich V Liverpool – 198?. Great match, excellent atmosphere made a huge impression on me. Ipswich won and Paul Mariner scored in last few minutes.
Favourite player of all time who played for your club: Clive Woods – Not stop energy combined with fast pace.
About our forthcoming match against you:
Leicester seem to be under achieving at the moment, so whilst I expect Leicester to win, it could be close.
Your favourite current player in your squad and why? Lee Martin, because Paul Jewel seems to dislike Shane O'Conner whom he loaned out ! Lee is enthusiastic and fast, lots of energy but lacks a little "end result".
Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Keith Andrews. Because he is a class act with bags of experience.
Player in our squad you most fear and why? David Nugent because he always scores against Ipswich. Even when he maybe doesn't deserve it ! He seems to love playing against Ipswich.
Up and coming prospect in your squad? Shane O'Connor (on loan at moment).
Where do you think you’ll finish this season? Mid table if we are lucky.
How do you think you’ll do against us? I expect Leicester to win. Ipswich may have periods of the match where we look good but overall we will be lacklustre and uninspiring.
Any other comments? Me and my work colleagues put £50 on Leicester to win the Championship this season so I won't be totally down hearted if Leicester win 🙂
