TOWN enter a fixture against one of the most fancied pre-season promotion contenders on an awful run of form. One win in twelve league and cup games tells its own story.

The Bottom Line | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The last few weeks Town fans have been praying for a win. The one against Brighton came, but winning at home is now the objective. On the last two home games a win has looked so unlikely that it would be a miracle if Town managed to score at Blundell Park. The message though surely is to rediscover even a glimmer of the form the Mariners showed at Blundell Park at the end of last season.

It was October 1999 when the sides last met. After beating the Anglia side 2-1 just three weeks before, The Mariners went down to a 2-0 defeat with Jamie Clapham and Richard Naylor scoring the goals for the Tractor Boys. That season, Ipswich were promoted via the play offs after a 4-2 win against Barnsley at Wembley while the Mariners finished 20th.
Town Team: Coyne, Butterfield, Gallimore, Groves, Lever, Burnett (Black), Coldicott, Pouton, Smith (Buckley), Allen (Ashcroft), Lester Ipswich Head-to-Head (91st on The Opposition Ladder).
