Ipswich(25-11-5, 1st) @ Sheffield Wednesday(15-13-13, 11th)

We're actually underdogs here, 6:4 for them, 13:8 for us, basically even. We're 7-1-5 lifetime against these guys and beat them 2:0 at our place back in November.

GK: Murphy
D: Kirkland/Bruce/Brown/Berthet
DMC: Paulo
MC: Donnelly/Ford
AMC: Gordon
ST: Khan/Constantino

James Lawrie leads them with 12 goals only. That's a name that we recognize as he was a top scorer when we were in League 2 for Port Vale. He left them for Sheffield Wednesday and has scored double digit goals in his first three years. We make no changes to our lineup today, we've got a week off after this, tough it out starters! We're going to defend today.

20': Most of the early highlights go their way but nothing really dangerous yet. They have 3 shots, we have 1.

39': Right, of course this is how someone's gonna score. We clear a corner out, they recover and pass it back forward. We've got 8 men in the box, and there's a shot from 20 yards out... its headed for the left side of the net, but it deflects off one of our defenders and hits the right side of the net. Fluke goal right there. 0-1

HALF: We've got to come out of our shell here. This isn't working at all. They end up with 10 shots but 6 are from long range and many weren't even shown in highlights. We've got 3, just one on target. They're dominating possession and seem to be in complete control here. Screw it, straight to attacking this half.

65': We've had a couple more attacking highlights this half but they're crowding their end pretty heavily and we're having a hard time finding a shot.

74': Coutts in for Paulo, Walker in for Ford, Mills in for Gordon, changing up our midfield to try to get something going.

87': We almost get it back in the same way. We're trying to find a hole in their defense and Coutts tries a shot from 20 yards out, it deflects off a defender and ends up just wide.

Ugly, ugly, ugly. Lets just move on to the next on, damn.

Sheffield Wednesday 1 : 0 Ipswich

Kirkland puts up a 7.4, but Murphy has a 5.7 and Gordon a 5.6. There just wasn't much to say about this one. They got a bit of a freak goal and dig in and we can't find a way to tie it back up.

We catch a break today as Hull beats Stoke and Huddersfield beats Watford. That lets us hang on to 2nd. Huddersfield does move up to 1st though. Just 4 to go:

1. Huddersfield - 85 pts
2. Ipswich - 84 pts
------------------------------
3. Stoke - 84 pts
4. Watford - 83 pts
5. QPR - 81 pts (1 less match played)
6. Burnley - 81 pts
---------------------------
7. Hull - 81 pts

Well this is just ridiculous. There's 4 points between 1st and 7th. QPR has 1 less match played, if they win their extra match they could move into 2nd.
