However, it leaves me to believe that we will improve. This is probably our most promising back 5 I have seen for a good few years, and all are ours (bar Binks, who I hope we'll sign in the summer). If Fadz leaves and we add one more then we will be set for next season (assuming we don't go up)...
MR miles ahead of the others in terms of longevity (Championship) - 6 years 7 months. The next is Pearson at Bristol City with 2 years 7months (the rest are all under 2 years!)
Agreed - they had a reasonable spell around the time they scored, but have been very passive. Nowhere near as aggressive as a usual Italian team (haven't got a Pirlo, Baggio type either)
It's played at an unnaturally slow speed compared to league football. We don't look half as good as we should/could if we just stepped up the pace. It's even killed all the atmosphere in the stadium. You can hear the players shouting all the time.
I see Ipswich have been allocated 3,414 tickets at Bristol City.
We have been given 3,000, but would have easily sold the extra 414, if allocated them - really don't understand why different allocations?
