It’s about now the chavs kicked on last season (from the 12 February they only lost one more game for the rest of the season). I can’t see us doing anywhere near as well as them obviously, but we need to put in a decent run of form now. We need our strikers back though and until that happens we won’t be going anywhere fast without properly tightening up our defence and we don’t look anywhere near doing that, games are still a mess defensively.

I wasn't aware..Mate
Romero needs some minutes soon so he can be fit for Argentina in the international break. He would be gutted if he can't play both full games for them.
Romero will be back on the bench for Ipswich and ready to start City
that's avoid at a cost arg
He was decent, but looked tired!
The players we have had healthy, has played more or less non-stop for 2-3 months now. A lot of them running on fumes now.
Porro, Bentancur, Deki, Sarr all looks tired. And we haven't even been able to put up a fight in some matches.
Against United, with a couple of players back, we looked good first half, then ran out of steam second half. So things should be a bit better from now on hopefully.
Another free week to be able to spend 5 days focusing on the next fixture and tactics. Hopefully we can put another win together which would make it 3 on the bounce in the league.
Ipswich will be well up for it, after a great result at Villa and already beating us earlier this season. Delap, Hirst and Hutchinson are a handful. We'll need to win the midfield battle and get at their backline constantly.
Their GK had a worldie vs Villa.

I think Bentancur is one of our better midfielders. He's press resistant and loves a tackle. I think we're a better team with him in it than Bissouma. However I think Gray and Bergvall should be our two in the future.
Pretty sure I saw quote from Postecoglou saying March before Romero and VDV are back in contention.
He also said either could be imminent. Romero needed a last scan before he was good to go.
I’m guessing that scan came out good and Ange gives a positive update on his full return to training this week
First thing I will say is there is nothing in lfe and especially sport that is mote important than confidence and momentum. Where luck is alsp thrown in, there is simply nothing that is more potent.
I genuinely do not analyse how we play as a team, as in how we seek to control games, attack or defend, believing that the best teams do everything in sync. That means always being mindful, ready and focussed. I see too little of that with us, and of course you need or benefit from s squad of quality to make it all that much easier.
You need leaders, clarity and a manager who responds intra-game. Hmmmmmmmm...
Despite what many say, I think our squad is decent. It also needs to be even better, but winning last Sunday, with other results going our way and with returning players, gives us a chance to kick on.
Will it happen? I think we will beat Ipswich.
Available to start against Ipswich then? And this is stated where, and any other firm updates on plauers who have been out injured?
Ipswich is the type of game we will make difficult for ourselves. They are a really poor side to be honest and we should be wining this.
We’ve had two clean sheets in a row in the league which gives us something to build on. Another clean sheet and narrow win on the cards will do.

My guess is on the bench for Ipswich. Just my guess
We will brush these aside, beat City and smash Ballmouth and Fulham, putting us within reach of top 4. Easy*
