2) Don’t take unnecessary risks
Having said all that, I think Steve Brice would be foolish to take any unnecessary risks. This game is not ‘win at all costs’. I would be happy to see Kodjia restored to the bench, coming on for the last 20-30 minutes as he continues his return to full fitness. The same goes for doubtfuls like Bjarnason, Hutton and Terry. If we started with the team which beat Cardiff, perhaps with Hogan in for Kodjia and Adomah in to give Snoddy a rest, I’d be well happy with that and we still should have too much for Ipswich.
It would be nice to see a couple of the youngsters on the bench as well – Davis and O’Hare maybe – to give them a bit more experience. Ideally, if we are to be resigned to the play-offs, we will hopefully have a fully fit squad to choose from and as long as we avoid any red cards, we shouldn’t have anyone suspended either. Assuming our fate is sealed by the tie we play Derby, I’d like to see a few youngsters given a start as we rest the main bods ahead of the play-off semi-final.
