Match Thread Ipswich Town 0-2 Everton - Saturday 19th October - 15:00

[Bluebonic]

Juts looking at the scores for the last four meetings made me think, is there any team in the top four divisions that isn't a bogey team for us???

 

[Thomasc]

I fancy us to win today, just a feeling.

….impressed with Ipswich last time I watched them at home, I’d be content with a point.

What minute does everyone have for the Coleman injury sweepstake?

I’m going with 36.

36 seconds more like...

Key to getting a result is Branthwaithe starting obviously. Keane will crap himself if the home fans are up for it

I wouldn't. We need to be winning these games considering our fixtures in December. I think it's going to be tough to get the 3 points because I agree that Ipswich have been more impressive than you would perhaps expect but it's one of the 10 or so games we have each season where we should really be banking 3 points.

Everton to be winning 1 nil at halftime but Ed Sheeran sings to the Ipswich players so they come back to win 4-1

"Operation james blunt commence action."

And on that cheery note, it's gonna be a real dreary trudge today isn't it.

That’s the solution for Dyche then. Take out Ed Sheeran on his way into the stadium. Guaranteed win. Easy this Football management.

I'm impressed with them also mate and I think they'll give someone a hiding when they click and I hope that's not today.
I'm not content to go out and target a point I think we're building in confidence and should be able to put on a performance and get the points.
But hey depends on which Everton turn up.

 

[Neiler]

Need to be switched on from the start - these aren't the mugs the likes of Toffee TV make them out to be.

 

[Timbucktoo]

They have had a hard enough start and have made a good start to the season. They are probably the team that were a bit of a surprise getting promoted and that usually means they are the least prepared team for the step up to the PL. They won`t be afraid of us and should come out all guns firing. I hope that we can get going in this similar to when we seemed to click last season when we beat Brentford away.

It's unfortunate that a draw would be considered a positive result against a newly promoted team, but that's the reality of our current situation. Without Branthwaite we concede for fun, Ipswich haven't been struggling to score either, i'm a bit worried about today

First meeting with them since 2002 when they won 2-1 at Goodison a month before Walter Smith was sacked

Last time we beat them was 1-0 in the FA Cup in 1999, we went on to reach the quarters that season

Last time we beat them in the league was the penultimate game of 94/95 when Paul Rideout scored the only goal at Portman Road

Last Goodison league win against them was the same season, a 4-1 win on New Years Eve 1994

You’re welcome everyone!
