3-1 to the Tractor Boys

It's not about results at this stage but a strong line-up lost 3-1 at Ipswich Town this afternoon. Collins and Maiga played, while Nolan, McCartney and Collison missed the game with knocks and Diame and Tomkins were on Olympics duty. West Ham's consolation came from Taylor. Thankfully noone will notice this result though, as they'll be too busy watching Jessica Ennis. Big Sam is said to be impressed by her high-jump and feels she might yet fit into our tactical plans…
