I think this will be a really good barometer as to where we stand development wise of the new look team. Will see where we stand as a unit at a difficult place to go and play..

Today is the day the rest of the league starts to take us seriously again.

Interested to see how our new squad stands up to what will be a tough afternoon.
Eight nil Stoke.

I'd definitely take a draw today.
They'll be bang up for it in front of nearly 30,000 who think they're going to push for the play-offs, and are on the crest of a wave.
Good test that'll tell us where we are

For once I've got a good feeling about this game today.
They're not a great team and if we play as we have the last 2 games I'm confident we'll take all 3 points.

'Not a great team' that hasn't lost in 20 matches ! There's a massive difference between the two leagues and there's not many if any players who would get into our team. I saw a few of their games last season, they are nothing special, just average lower league players just high on confidence.

Maybe more “out of the blocks”, with potential for a better season than last. If we get to Christmas and we’re in top six I will be on that wave with you 👍 UTMP He’s talking about Ipswich mate

I just hope we turn up today and give a good account of ourselves. Do that and there's every reason we can get a result 💪

It’s Ipswich Town ffs, not bloody Barca. They looked average vs a poor Sunderland side, Championship is a whole different ball game to League 1

Very average Ipswich side who are the media darling. They’ll get shit back down to planet earth today. I feel a win, it’s pulsing through my arse. Come on Stoke, 3 points show these clowns who we are GET INTO EM FUCK EM UP

Their cumbersome right back could be in for a tough afternoon if Andre keeps running at him, seemed loads of space for Sunderland to play but they were fucking awful. Fully expecting an away win today (zips up straight jacket and returns to solitary).

Should win this today. They're a decent side but haven't got the quality that we have. I don't give a flying fuck about a 20 game unbeaten run that was predominantly in League one. We are going to be the team to beat this season and should brush these aside. 3 1 Stoke.

I hope I am wrong, but I get the impression M'waee might be a bit flaky and the sulking type, we shall see I guess.

I think today might be an eye-opener for Ipswich, this is a tough league and I expect us to show them just how tough.

Just looks as if his head might go down if things don't go his way, might be wrong, hope I am, certainly very talented individual, think a goal would certainly settle him.

How can you possibly drop our captain and arguably fittest player in Josh Laurent. He was brilliant against WBA Because I forgot about him. I've had a drink. 😂😂😂

Feeling excited but have to temper this with the reality that this season this is only a new side's second outing and are largely strangers
A tight performance with lots of effort and I'm happy - 3 points and I'll be doing cartwheels!
Hopefully the more emotional of us won't be slating the team if we're not 4 up at half-time! 👍

Should be a far better gauge of where we are than Rotherham or WBA. Come on Stoke!
