Great hit from EMC but a telling contribution from Simms. Put everything into it for the short period he was on the pitch

While listening to the opposite team of commentators they seemed to be not impressed by our attire today with the over jackets.

 

[Ibby]

Well done

 

[Calista]

Can we stop the myth our wingers aren't very good now. Sakamoto and EMC are class acts.

Yeah, EMC in particular has had so many baffling negative comments ever since he joined us. Two fantastic players.

Robins showed his flaws today , too passive anyone would think he was a defender

 

[wingy]

Did I read/hear that Swansea scored two own goals today??

Snap your hand off for a point.

Frank: "Where's Leicester"?

 

[RoysterE17]

3 points today 5 points clear plus goal difference I'm starting to believe.....

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Yep by a former itfc player! Looks dodgy

 

[Chris1987]

He seemed to be after a point. Stoke carried little threat throughout

I'm convinced Ipswich will shoot up the league, but I'm also convinced that a lot of the other contenders will consistently drop points to each other. That should open up the other auto spot for us (don't care - at the moment - whether it's top or second). Perfect timing with the run of games coming up. If we can beat West Brom we will already have collected pretty much what we'd have hoped for from the batch of 6 games. Not bothered by any of the other teams (bar Ipswich). We are going up !!!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Bloody hell, this guy on the call in is having a real crap time of things

 

[ptr]

Actually a good caller for once. That’s what football does! Picks you up when you’re down. And when we’re shite, it’s just a game. Hope things start to look up for him.

I didn't think so much to their professionalism, initially they had no idea MVE had a long throw in his locker.
Oggy & Clive are streets ahead.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Fair play to Simms there.

Came on, got stuck in, got us the result. Chuffed to bits for him, and the team.

I don't want to get too excited, but there's certainly no one in this division we need to worry about too much. Could it be?

Simms arguably better than Haji, despite only playing 15 minutes

Ipswich have best squad by a long way

 

[covboy9]

When is Preston away? Cos we’ve already lost

Southampton picked up some points today, fireworks lit or still sack the manager?

Ah, the ever style conscious potteries with their world renowned and celebrated sartorial musings.

 

[fatso]

I’m nervous for today
Such a pivotal game

Told you we'd win Pete, never in doubt, that's the power of positive thinking

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Haji was poor today.

Simms arguably better than Haji, despite only playing 15 minutes

haji’s fine, he’s no different to any other forward in this league,has quiet games then can win a game for you,said before he’s a championship player and a very good one,if he did everything some fans wanted him to do he’d of been off in the summer, annoying at times but he’ll do

 

[Blind-Faith]

When is Preston away? Cos we’ve already lost

This is the one, this game, sometime in December I think, we beat Preston away and I’ll start believing it’s our year

 

[larry_david]

Southampton picked up some points today, fireworks lit or still sack the manager?

He's been sacked hence the win

 

[OldBedrocker]

Sherwood on Sky
Poor quality game.
Stoke most likely to score

He’s a cock

 

[wingy]

When is Preston away? Cos we’ve already lost

Draw minimum.

 

[djr8369]

Lampard done a job on Robins. We're the real deal. Stoke won't stick around. I'm going to play Mario with my son then search for some Stoke fans to troll in the evening.
Have a good one all.

Sounds a great evening!

 

[wingy]

God I can't keep up.

Can we stop the myth our wingers aren't very good now. Sakamoto and EMC are class acts.

Who even started this myth?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

5 points clear at the top from 2nd
7 points clear of 3rd

 

[wingy]

Dominant with out a scoring frenzy's,can we please get back the Haji Wright who started the season Cos he's playing pre occupied by other factors,or he's carrying something of an injury.

 

[Briles]

Who even started this myth?

Basically everyone who kicked off that Rapha went out on loan

 

[wingy]

Who even started this myth?

I thought don't quote me but someone was asking for more to cover or even a first choice with the guys in possession rotating with them,Was RakSaki the guy of particular choice?

 

[Adge]

Wasn’t pretty but again we got the job done! A game of few opportunities but what a goal to win it. Cov fans were/sounded really loud. PUSB from the Stoke end
