-- Parma in Serie B fire their coach and I'm expected to be their top target. I release a statement saying I have no interest in the job.

-- Danny Graham is hurt in training and will miss a month. With Rob Lewis and Constantino and Khan we should be just fine.

-- We play QPR on the 17th, a sellout is expected for this hugely important match.

QPR(22-6-8, 4th) @ Ipswich(20-10-5, 3rd)

QPR are 5:4 favorites today, we're 7:4. We're 3-4-2 lifetime against these guys with a nice 2:0 win back in October at their place. 5 points separate 1st and 5th, we're 3rd, QPR 4th. With 10 games to go in the season this is obviously huge. We need 3 points at home.

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

QPR's Colin Meade has 22 goals, Javier Arizmendi has 18 goals. That's a comparable 1-2 punch to Constantino(25 gls) and Khan (14). We're back to our full starting lineup today for the first time in months. Gordon AMC, Bennett MC to go with the rest of the squad. We're attacking at home today.

2': They shoot first, a free kick from 20 yards out that's blasted miles high.

15': Yellow for midfielder Ziljer way out at midfield. We take the free kick quickly, Kirkland to Gordon who immediately sends it into the area, Constantino catches them by surprise and is the first to the ball, he beats the keeper and we're on the board with our first shot! 1-0

18': Yellow for donnelly.

23': We get two corners before they clear and try to counter, Kirkland commits a foul about 30 yards out, way wide right... they cross the free kick into the area but the header is over the bar.

37': Their forward Meade turns the ball over in the midfield, Bennett gets it forward quickly, Constantino has it 25 yards out, passes ahead to Neil Gordon at the edge of the penalty area. Gordon blasts a shot, its in the right side of the net by the keeper!!! 2-0

39': We're trying to attack again, they clear a ball out but we send it back forward, Gordon hits Constantino who got a step on his defender, he's in the area, its a clear cut chance... and sent wide. Ohhh we should have scored there, big time.

HALF: We're completely in control here. We've got 10 shots, 3 on target, 2 clear cut chances and really could have 3 or 4 goals here. They only shoot 3 times, one on target. We'll try to keep the pressure on for now at least.

50': Gordon Donnelly!!!! They have a corner, its sent in, there's a header from one side of the area to the other, another header... and another, Murphy gets stuck out of position and they head it towards the net, and Gordon donnelly gets up and heads it off the line!! Whew.

67': They've gotten a couple long shots and that's it so far. They earn a corner here but there's another header over.

71': They've got a throwin deep in our end, a cross goes into the area, a header, Murphy can't stop it... but it hits the crossbar and we clear it away.

77': Paulo with a yellow.

82': Murphy with two brilliant saves here. One they're attacking and we try to clear but they recover and blast a shot, it looks nearly perfectly aimed for the far post, but Murphy makes a dive, gets a fingertip to the ball and it goes just barely wide. The next highlight is a goal kick of theirs. They win a header just outside the penalty area, head it from one forward to the other, and there's another shot, reflex save by Murphy, whew!

89': They finally break through, a lot of buildup, a ball into the area from 30 yards out or so and one of their backup forwards gets to it and beats Murphy near post. 2-1

They keep the pressure on for the 3 minutes of added time but we do a good job keeping them at bay, there's one last minute long shot that Murphy saves easily.

Ipswich 2 : 1 QPR

I usually do "recommend" for the pep talks and the recommended pep talk to day is "Sensational!" yeah, it is. This is a huge, huge win.

Man of the Match: Constantino (8.2)
Goals: Constantino, Gordon (7.8)
Assists: Constantino, Gordon
Notables: Murphy (8.1), Kirkland (7.1), Bennett (7.2)

Murphy made some brilliant saves today, they put a ton of pressure on us in the second half trying to get back into the match and Murphy was there time after time.

Stoke ties today and that allows us to push back into 2nd place. With 9 matches to go:

1. Huddersfield - 79 pts
2. Ipswich - 76 pts
--------------------------
3. Stoke - 75 pts
4. Watford - 74 pts
5. QPR - 72 pts
6. Hull - 71 pts
--------------------
7. Burnley - 68 pts

8th place is 59 points.
