It's bravado, not over confidence

No-one genuinely thinks we're bound to beat them.

But there is some logic in thinking that the last thing they want is two legs against us having come so close to automatic promotion.

Personally I couldn't think of anythging worse than playing them simply because of the agonising build up etc.

But I know Ipswich fans who all feel *exactly* the same way.
