Will from CWR just tweeted that Thomas AND Rudoni are 50/50 for tomorrow which is a bit more promising .Lampard also hoping to have Wright ready for Derby too.

Bench then but not

It's not 'fans' it's a fan.
I'm sure there are others but people extrapolating the opinion of a few roasters on social media and applying it to the whole fanbase is ridiculous.

I'd hate to be lumped in with sky blue twitter for example. The fact they make this place look sane really is quite some going.

Hnag it in the dressing room. Great motivation for Grimes

Yeah, I'm sure being on the cusp of the Premier league isn't quite doing it for him!

There is a whole thread on their forum about him and this fan's view seems typical.

At least now Grimes isn't holding them back they can get back to challenging for promotion like they used to with err he played for them.

As long as they don't clap him when he takes a corner!

Not bad considering he'll be the pen taker.

Grimes to score anytime: 9/1
Grimes to score or assist: 7/2

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He was brilliant for them
He’s been brilliant for us
He is a defensive midfielder / quarterback kind of player
As our team has progressed he hasn’t stood out as much as he did even 12 months ago
However he’s a brilliant player for his position at this level

 

[alexccfc99]

I don't get it - They say he was overrated, sideways and backwards everywhere he goes yet are that bothered he left

Make your minds up

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Look at what's been written about O'Hare on here when he wasn't here for even half the time Grimes was at Swansea.

 

[David O'Day]

Didn’t we have some posters suggesting for Thomas to be used as a centre forward this year?

Rudi would be ok as a false 9 to be fair

 

[TomRad85]

My Blunt supporting mate actually sent me a pic of him with O'Hare the other day. He said he asked Cal if he hopes Cov do well if they go up and he said "what do you think?"

Dunno how to infer that - John Dawkins who is quite clearly his mate claims he supposedly wants us to do well despite how much he has been boo'ed since he left but I cannot see him hinting at that being the case to a Sheff U fan

I’m trying to think of an equivalent for us and there isn’t one really is there?
Our better players that have moved on we’ve given them our best and been thankful for what’s been
Maddison
Wilson
McCallum
Ohare
Hamer
Perhaps the only one is Ohare but not really and he wasn’t sold was he he was free

No it was told to me like it was said in a way he absolutely did not want us to do well.

We sang a song laughing about Dion Dublin breaking his neck

He looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him up when he was that defending that corner at Bramall Ln the other week and the away end was singing 'Callum O'Hare it could have been you'

Did notice that game the other week was the first time he has played against us since leaving he has not even made an attempt to acknowledge us

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Seriously!!!!
Dion was brilliant for us

 

[TomRad85]

Fans have real issues seeing themselves as a smaller club. I'm not sure it matters much as outside the super clubs it all goes in cycles anyway but basically if fans see a player moving what they see as 'sideways' even if its fairly obvious to people outside of that support that it isn't, then they don't like it. Ultimately Grimes has been proven to have made the right call, which probably pisses them off even more. O'Hare however... hahahahaha

 

[Grendel]

Seriously!!!!
Dion was brilliant for us

He was hated when he left here

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He was hated when he left here

Ok that would be equivalent then
As I say for me one of our best ever strikers

Dawkins isn't his mate but yes Cal still wants us to do well

 

[Hutch11]

Dion is / was a proper legend here and if you listen to his story , he didn't want to leave but was heavily persuaded

 

[Saddlebrains]

Haji only missing tomorrow is massive

Looking like (bar a shite injury tomorrow to someone) that we will have a full compliment to tackle the final 7 games

That is huge to have for the run in, Boro missing players like Hackney for basically all of it, Ipswich without Philogene etc too

Are Thomas and Rudi back tomorrow do you know? Good news about Haji, the break is coming at a good time really.

honestly i dont think there is, 400 games and captain, to move to a team in the same league, its pretty wild we got him, for the price, and mid season.

Who else have Ipswich got missing?
Havent they got a couple of bell ends suspended?

 

[alexccfc99]

Be chuffed with any result that is not an Ipswich win from their game vs Millwall tomorrow tbh

 

[Pezza]

You have to wonder if Rudoni and Thomas are both 50/50, why risk them? I back Simms to come in and do well.

Leif Davis has another two games out suspended, don't know about others.

Cant see them being more than bench tbh with the 2 week break coming up

I don't think its true that Philogene is still injured though, i'm pretty sure he's back.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

My Blunt supporting mate actually sent me a pic of him with O'Hare the other day. He said he asked Cal if he hopes Cov do well if they go up and he said "what do you think?"

He left for the money and the assumption they'd go right back up, he got the money alright but will now be stuck in this division for the foreseeable.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I don't think its true that Philogene is still injured though, i'm pretty sure he's back.

Been out for a long time though, and McKenna might want to keep Jack Clarke in for his penalty scumming ability.
