Again, the NHS statistics say otherwise and the point was specifically in relation to flu and COVID. If it my point wasn’t right, these injections would be provided free as the vaccines you get at birth. You’re not a medical expert so don’t masquerade as one. To both of you, if it was...

It’s not nonsense in relation to the seasonal flue vaccine or COVID…

Respectfully, I hope your dreams don’t come true this weekend.

In your ‘personal’ experience as frontline medical staff? 🤔 To clarify, the clan of 90% of frontline staff were unvaccinated was at one NHS trust. In that sense, I misrepresented the sample - my bad. Overall, 2024/25 only 37.8%, frontline staff got the flu vaccine...

Hope things get better Wozza! The community is here to help you through an awful thing! Look, if you’re being fit and healthy, you’re moving on in life for the better! Keep it up mate!

I’m definitely not an anti-vaxxer but believe people should choose whether or not they take a vaccine. It comes to risk profile, most people on this forum, for example, probably didn’t need the COVID vaccine. This seasons flu isn’t killing fit and healthy people so just because someone like MVE...

They got 94 points last year which in most seasons pretty much guarantees a top 2 finish. There’s 75 points left to play for which means that it’s literally only possible for teams below us and Boro to hit 100 points with a near 100% record. For context, Ipswich and Southampton need to win 20...

Of course it’s collective. Wha metrics are we using exactly and I’m also interested in whether or not those stats are correlated with general league performance. For example, there’s been many games where we’ve had 60% possession and more so haven’t really defended in games.

Rather condescending as per, people should have choice whether or not they take a vaccine. If people choose to not take something and they get ill, you reap what you sow. In any case, elite athletes aren’t exactly people who need to be pressured into getting a flue jab that might not even stop...

I’m pretty sure about 90% of hospital doctors and nurses don’t take it either. As a principle, unless you’re immuneo-compromised I don’t think fit and healthy people should be inoculated for common illnesses.

There were 4 teams on 40 points plus after 22 games last season... PNE and Millwall would be 6th and 7th based on last years points tallies. Even Blackburn last season had hit 37 points by this point last season. In short, us and Boro are on par for automatic promotion by historical standards...

It's a coincidence I think, without prying into the details... It sounds like playground talk amongst parent(s) which is why I took it with a pinch of salt. Is that not just a gentleman's agreement? You can't sign a pro contract until you turn 17 so he probably could go to someone else on the...

The problem Leicester have with Monga is that he hasn't actually signed a pro deal with them yet and part of the reason he was fast tracked into their first team was to avoid losing him to someone like Man City. That was insight given to me by some Leicester STH. Funnily enough, the guy seems...

We also weren’t 12 points clear of 3rd by then. We could lose the next 4 and those teams still wouldn’t catch us.

They also lost to Millwall. They’ve had some good wins but haven’t really beaten anyone that good to be honest. Birmingham are tragic away and Leicester have an ok record away. For context, us beating Bristol this weekend was objectively more impressive than either of those wins. They carry a...

The xG tells a different story altogether. We should scored 2 goals minimum v PNE and Bristol City. Pretty sure Bristol City had about the same xG as Ipswich and in one game, we concede 3, the other 0.

Why does it? More congestion = less space for attackers to run into. Especially now with how often defending team draw fouls too. The wider point is that I’m sure we’ve made more counterattacks breaking from the box (e.g. MVE v Charlton) than hitting and hoping from a corner clearance. Leaving...

It’s to create a numerical superiority in defence of 2 players. If you’ve got teams that play 5-3-2, they’ve potentially got a height advantage. Pure zonal and man marking also have their faults so imagine the concept of a hybrid system requires that numerical superiority. Leaving 1 or 2...

I don’t think we are, personally. You talk a game v Boro for example, there was lots of ‘pressure’ but gave away 2 shots on target. There were many times last season and the one before where we just didn’t defend the box well at all and we conceded more goals as a result. It’s a bit of a...

Agreed. West Brom is underrated in terms of difficulty, they're only lost once at home this season but to be honest, it's a game I think we should get a draw from at least. WBA and PNE away are two away games I really wanted 3 points from because our record is bad at those grounds. In terms of...
