The good and bad of McCallun being shown today, can’t help but feel for him. He’s barely kicked a ball all season and then thrown into the local Derby against 2nd in the league.
Before Ipswich get too excited about potential promotion it's worth noting that the current bottom three on their point scoring average none would manage the 22 points that saw us bottom of The Premiership. The gap between the two top divisions seems to be getting wider.
McLean is keeping us in it - he looks really up for it. The unwashed should be well out of sight by now, but they aren't. How sweet would it taste if we came away with points today?
Yeah it’s pretty ugly at the bottom there. If you remove the 10-point deduction for Everton, all of the promoted clubs are at least five points off the pace for survival and it is not even halfway through the season. That’s a huge gulf. The football league needs to distribute money better or it will become a closed Premier League within a decade.
If we can hit them on the break fairly often, that will hopefully be enough pressure for them to not get the goal back, or even concede another
