Ipswich Town fan James has been discussing the significance of facing Hull City on the latest episode of The Blue Hour, from BBC Radio Suffolk.

The Tractor Boys have made a solid start to their return to Premier League football and currently sit 12th in the table. However, they will not be taking anything for granted with just four points between them and the relegation zone.

Speaking on The Blue Hour, James said: "I think the way the table's looking, we're looking in a seemingly good position in 12th but actually we're not that far from looking over our shoulders territory.

"If we could get a point - maybe all three against our relegation rivals in Hull - that could put us in a very, very good position. The Hull match looks like a big fixture."

On debate around whether Zian Flemming should come into the side for this match ahead of Emersonn, he said: "It's a difficult one. I think Emersonn has certainly earned his spot over the last few weeks. He did have a quieter game on Friday night, but it has to be put in the context of being against not two, but three man mountains at centre back in [Nottingham] Forest's backline.

"I wouldn't be averse to giving Flemming a run and there's [Chuba] Akpom in the equation as well. I think Emersonn could be due a break, and why not throw Flemming into it on Saturday."
