    McKenna continues to misuse Clarke I see. Btw I instantly dislike this Birmingham team. Properly snide.

    Players and coaches made it borderline impossible for 20 mins. 2 cards settled them right down.

    Clarkes a waste in this team. Never looks comfortable playing inside

    Clarke has gone backwards imo. His touch was always sublime. Now it is a bit hit and miss. He could take the ball so tight and move it, now he has slowed down. Seems a bit slighter as well. Well, based on 40 mins anyway <laugh>

    Haway Jackie lad, show me up.

    What I will say is fair play to Birmingham and their fans. Made it an absolute nightmare first game for Ipswich

    we need to do the same next Saturday

    If Stansfield could hit the corners he would be unreal. A menace in every way, apart from snap chances.

    Aye his graft level and back to goal stuff is genuinely superb.

    Very nearly a superb player.

    Can’t be a top player if you can’t finish properly.

    Probably come back to bite me but I just don't rate Stansfield at all. Ball striking is so inconsistent. I get the owners are pumping huge money in but the money they paid for him was triple what I would've paid.

    Talented lad but for a 20 million CF his finishing is poor. No surprise they are playing him deeper of the 2 CFs - do wonder if he will play wider at times as well

    Seems we all agree. Good player, not bad articulately a good ‘striker’

    Mad fee for what he brings.

    Doesnt look like a lad who whose finishing will improve drastically. Seems to snatch too much.
