The Blues are looking to lure back the fans with a brand of attractive football hitherto unseen at Portman Road since Joe Royle took us to the play-offs.
While winning is everything, and not conceding clearly top of MM’s list of priorities, the dip in attendances due to year’s of disappointment and boring football, needs to be addressed.
A home game against strugglers Yeovil affords Ipswich every chance of achieving all three aims tonight. No excuses.
Ipswich have the luxury of a clean bill of health and no suspensions so MM is likely to field an unchanged starting XI.
The only caveat is he may want to fresh legs up front with Frank Nouble making way for Daryl Murphy.
A great game to boost his goal tally
With Byron Webster suspended, Liam Fontaine is set for his first start of his loan spell with Yeovil after joining from Bristol City.
Dan Seaborne, who Ipswich tried to sign in the summer, starts at the back for Yeovil, who will also include, Ipswich’s FA Youth Cup winning goal-scorer from 2005, in midfield.
Will always be a Town hero
