This would be the only real alternative.

‘Significant quad year’. That won’t be a 6 week job, he’ll be lucky to be light training again in 6 months. I always recall the WWE wrestler Triple H having a major quad tear during a live PPV years back; luckily it was right at the end of the match, as he put someone through the announcers...

Rewinding slightly, that pass from Simms to DaSilva (who then crossed for Goddens second) was perfectly timed; a really tidy flick-through that bypassed two defenders. Only just seen it properly, on ‘City Unseen’.

When will Ipswich’s bubble burst, I wonder.

Currently listening to Chopin’s Nocturnes, mainly in the car, as I live in Wales and the blanket 20mph nonsense has been causing me to gnash the steering wheel, somewhat. ‘Yes, officer, I did cause some damage to the face of the gentleman doing 17mph in what you’ll see is actually a 30 zone and...

I spent ages using the space bar to put them all in the right positions, only for it to turn out like that when I posted it. Then the obvious numerical problem, which I attribute to inherent cretinism. 👍🏻

Bugger it, no wonder I got an E in GCSE Maths.

Going for an unconventional approach here: Collins/Wilson Thomas Lati Kitching MVE/Cake DaSilva Ayari Kelly Allen Tatsu Godden/Simms I feel the merits of a box midfield have to re-explored at this point. Drop Palmer and Wright...

Logically speaking, after many have observed and assessed Wright in the last 5 games, the general consensus is that he’s struggling to adapt (at the very least). This would imply that, perhaps, it’s worth giving Simms a run to find his feet, as the entire attack is being held up by a veteran...

To me, it implies a slight division between the recruitment team, and the management/coaching staff. 🤷‍♂️ If recruitment are doing all of the ‘groundwork’ and going over MR/AV’s head a bit, then this won’t end well. Especially if these signings don’t prosper.

This is it for me, also. I hate to right-off players early on (no pun intended), but the signs are that he’s struggling to adapt at the moment. And to be honest, I would rather give Simms a shot with Godden, as the former’s link up play and awareness seem a tad better at this stage. However...

A 1-0 off Simms beard will do me. Just please drop Palmer, and give Tatsu a go. PUSB.

I said it in January, and I’ll say it again: the signs are not awfully encouraging at the minute, however I’d love for the team to prove me wrong. Preferably before March. Love it.

That’s a definite possibility, however, it’s more of a ‘hope’ than ‘he will be the same player’. Even if he can just do a fraction of what he used to IE drawing players away, out of position, it’ll open up the opposition a bit. Right now, we’re just flat and clueless.

Totally unconvinced so far, but then, I suppose patience is required. It could all click into place, once that ‘rhythm’ is established. Really looking forward to COH coming back, when he’s up to speed.

Such a contrast of opinions, however, some merit can be found in both positive and pessimistic camps, I feel. MR sticks infuriatingly with his favourites, and is still obdurate with tactical substitutions l, which have cost us occasionally. The dearth of creativity in midfield is obvious, and...

All sorts of wrong, unfortunately, but if it’s opinion-based, then it’s his choice.

Yes, McAllister was £3m, definitely. That article mentioned David Thompson for £3.5m, which i think is probably wrong. It was more £2.5m from what I remember.

I seem to recall Moldovan being signed for £3 mil, and Jarni for £2.7 mil. Those were the released fees at the time, anyhoo. We made a profit on both, I’m quite sure. Gary Breen was £2.5/£3 mil wasn’t he? Gary McAllister was a tidy £3 mil, also.

The question of confidence keeps popping up - I would imagine that the staff are doing all they can to get/keep his confidence up, as a striker with an unfathomably hanging head is a waste of a space on the team sheet. Either he wants to succeed, and be an integral part of the team, or he...
