    No way he is not up to our standard.

    It was on the last w/e debate he did on the 28th Jan, I read it back a few times and it is clear he's not Farke's number 1 fan but still don't get why it's kept him from posting on here, unless he thought his future comments may upset someone or other. Hopefully he'll have a rethink and be back soon.

    Thanks i have read it and what a load of nonsense about nothing. I have been proved wrong many times. I said dan james could not score goals and did not rate him. Jammy won that one hands down. Farke is doing ok with his limited time to rebuild the squad. Funny how no club has gone for Gelhardt after his massive season for Sunderland (i jest).

    To be fair we're in the Championship and Dan James was bought as PL player so the jury is still out on that one.

    However he is scoring goals so I'll take it :emoticon-0103-cool:

    HT at Portman Road and WBA still lead by the one goal.

    Ipswich pushing hard to force an equaliser and so lots of football left in this one.

    He’d been very down and negative in his posts for quite some time, I always wonder what’s going on in someone’s life, it possibly reflects the style of posting.

    I hope he is fit and well and no personal battles going on, if he is and he just wants time out it’s his call

    It’s an odd one as Doc always found positives regardless of how we were doing on the field or behind the scenes. We’re at our best now since Bielsas early days and he’s not to be seen. Hope he’s ok

    Who’s watching the Superbowl tonight ?

    Should be supporting the 49er’s really but as I’m a sucker for a love story I’m going for the Chiefs :emoticon-0115-inlov

    Think Doc’s main gripe with Farke was that he wasn’t utilising the squad. The fact Gruev and Gnonto have found form once given their opportunities shows he may have had a point.

    Or is it Farke waited for the right moment to introduce them, as he has with Bamford and were reaping the benefits

    Gruev was clearly not up to the speed and physicality of the Championship when he played at Stoke early season. He looked like a little boy lost that night. I think he struggled with the language too and obviously his move in general.

    He wasn't selected again for quite a while and he now looks a bit stronger physically and he keeps up with the pace of the game. Good stuff by Farke to realise he wasn't quite ready after Stoke but also kudos for working with him behind the scenes to get him ready for the run in.

    He’s like the new signing we craved in January and we had him all along

    Exactly and without disturbing the rhythm of his side.

    Now I know why the standard in the Championship is so poor. Have a look at these club squad valuations. For those who can't be bothered with the link, the summary is as follows: Rotherham, lowest value at £13m. I think I should repeat that - £13m!!! FFS! We're second most valuable at £171m. Now knowing that, is it any surprise we romped home yesterday?

    Complete imbalance in most leagues these days WJ. Compare teams in pl. it’s like three different divisions. Scotland also a farce equally
