I love this post.Blue Wilf wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 8:59 pmJust a reality check - am half watching Man City v Cardiff. Here are City - a team whose fans used to be the epitome of all things good in football. They came from the poor part of Manchester, always had Man Utd pushed at them, supported their team down the divisions in good times and bad - just like the depths we are about to enter. Remember the League 1 play off final when they nearly did not make it? And then they rise, get new ownership where money is no issue, win the PL, start to win in the CL and win cups and have all they ever wanted..... or have they? Playing in front of a lot of empty seats when just 7 games away from the end of a season where they may just do an unprecedented quadruple! What has happened? I think i know - they have lost their connection to their fans and the stadium is full of tourists and prawn sandwich brigade. Having what on paper is everything is simply not everything - following a team that is winning (and sometimes losing/drawing) but at least challenging in their league - whatever their current league - is what is important to fans. It is to me anyway. I would hate to watch City or Utd et al every week cos you lose your sense of perspective. Lets follow the Town - up or down - and enjoy instead of complaining about what might have been. Am looking forward to next season more than the second half of this borefest I am watching on Sky...
Yes indeed and I believe we will enjoy next season a lot more, and that does not necessarily mean winning the league either. Yes join me anything for a beer, are you doing Bolton?
Thanks Derick, after a sh*t week that has cheered me up considerably!derick_ipsw wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 2:34 pmIpswich manager Paul Lambert has won three of his last 39 matches as a manager in all competitions (D16 L20). Wow!!
Yes, it’s a sh*t record, but I’ll judge him next season when he’s not trying to clear up other managers’ messes.derick_ipsw wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 2:34 pmIpswich manager Paul Lambert has won three of his last 39 matches as a manager in all competitions (D16 L20). Wow!!

I think we’ll need a couple of strikers ( Keane and another) brought in. Therefore, Jackson or Harrison might need to be offloaded. I can see Harrison leaving as not sure how much Lambert rates him.
In the same way, Lambert doesn’t seem to rate Donacien ... so offload as well.
Get rid of the Irish kids, Cotter and Drinan, too. And Chris Smith, too. Ndaba has overtaken him.
Even though Rowe has done well at Lincoln, I’d be inclined to sell him to Lincoln for a small fee if that’s on the table. Better for everyone.
Big problem is we’ve got a lot of long-term injured .... Huws, Sears, Folami, Morriss .. and Ward.... who aren’t helping the wage bill. Can’t see us extending Ward’s contract and I’d really like to know at the end of the season about Huws ie whether he’ll ever play football again. Does anyone know how insurance works for a player whose career ends prematurely ie does the player and/or club have to prove they’ve tried everything before insurance gets paid out? Don’t want to write a player off, but it’s far too long a time out and wondering if the club knows he’ll never make it, but just seeing out the Duty of Care.
Well... expand a bit more.d0ugster wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 12:48 pmf**king helltangfastic wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 9:49 amI think we’ll have to cut even further the squad size?derick_ipsw wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 9:23 amPlayers to Leave end of season in RED in my opinion.

How else are you suppose to describe kids from Ireland? Don't worry about it Tang you have done nothing wrong. Also the "f**king hell" comment comes from someone who only posts every 2 years, so you might get a response in 2021.tangfastic wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 1:03 pmWell... expand a bit more.d0ugster wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 12:48 pmf**king helltangfastic wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 9:49 am

Is it because it’s deemed a bit racist to called them Irish kids. I just lumped them together because they’re both Irish and they came here around the same time under Mick. And they don’t look like they have a future here when we’re trying to trim the squad.
Or is because you really rate them?
