Well good thing it’s an easy run of fixtures coming. Reality is we could play quite well apart from the Watford abomination and be on three points after five games going into the break and he’ll be under huge pressure.

Yeah if we start with a five goal handicap and you’ve sold Che Adams by then that sounds about right.
One refreshing thing about yesterday was only 2 minutes added to first half and 7 to the second. Not too much ****housery going on, though a couple of Ipswich players did the dying swan routine after they took the lead. Biggest delays were for Armstrong’s injury and Fields after he tried to remove someone’s legs and hurt himself in the process.

He makes the run looking for the poachers goal, is handed it on a plate and then....
Looks odd from that angle. From the other side, looking from behind the goal in the Loft, looked like Armstrong just missed the ball and it hit Kakay and went wide. But I only saw it in real time once.
It does all happen very quickly and so easy to criticise with the benefit of hindsight and a few replays!
One or other of them should have scored, but at least we are making chances.

Thanks for posting 999's. What a fantastic write up. Really enjoyed the read.
I agree Col and I found this paragraph interesting ...
''I don’t know whether this is a good time to say this, but every single one of these Ipswich players, and indeed Kieran McKenna himself, has moved there on a free transfer, or for a fee we could have comfortably afforded at that time, but chose instead to spend on other things. In two cases – Dom Ball, Mass Luongo – these are players we had in the building and chose to let go. In several others – Conor Chaplin, Freddie Ladapo, the super Nathan Broadhead – it’s players who played brilliantly, often repeatedly brilliantly, against us, and we nevertheless ignored. Ignored because McClaren wanted a “team of men”; or Lee Wallace had captained Glasgow Rangers who are a “magnificent football club”; or Honest Mick had been at Tyler Roberts' ****ing Christening. This entire Ipswich team and manager has been available to us, on our budget, in some cases repeatedly, over the last five years, and we’ve ignored each of the bastards in turn, preferring instead to lather ourselves up in self congratulation for loaning Ethan Laird.''
A cracking read on the Eurostar this afternoon. Love the insights and so sad as he highlights where they've got it right, and we've got it so wrong.
Agreed. It was unfortunate. For the player's sake we don't need to dwell on it.
I could do a fun Southampton thread if Dave is busy. Got **** all to do most of the day but have to be near the laptop anyway.
