    No doubt many would rate him as a shrewd signing

    Feels like a loss so a bit depressing already. Pointless kicking off as its only first game, but the big take aways for me was Meslier isnt good enough. Gruev corners very poor and flat. Georgey needs to find a way of beating doubke marking maybe pop it off and move for a return rather than lose the ball. Joseph was great and should have carried on, we took both wingers off but didn’t change tactics? Chuffed for Aaronson who went from zero to hero and then almost zero again. He worked, battled and scored and all in 20 minutes, so promising for him. Piroe came on apparently

    Cup game coming so hope to see a few changes to the starting line up and start to see some cohesion. Darlow, Wober, Aaronson, Gelhardt at 10 and barndoor at 9 to give him a run but I would leave Joseph to start next league game

    Clearly more of a clue than you lot, who said we would fall away last season. What was it now???? Ah yes, no squad depth, teams will sus them out second half of the season etc etc etc!

    As for the inbred comments, you're clearly confusing Suffolk with Norfolk, easy mistake to make when you are as thick as ****!!

    Why do you spend so much time on here, don’t you have anything to talk about with your own?

    Of course I know that. I just have no interest in your club to waste my time on your forum. You on the other hand seem obsessed with us.

    But, every team we play in the championship seems to have a better Keeper, Meslier is poor and when the pressure is on like it was in the play off it gets to him

    I have stayed off your forum and board as a few of you started crying when I posted, I’ve looked in a few times, had a smile and left.

    I’m happy to admit I was wrong last season, Ipswich never fell away as expected, they deserved promotion in the end, your depth was poor. I remember a few of your forum members moaning about depth just a few weeks after you’d claimed otherwise.

    You probably never watched our match, if you did you’d know we’re good this season, we hit the post three times in 6 minutes.

    Oh another thing, come in here and give abuse if you like, but it’s really comical how you have to tell everyone on the Ipswich board how big your balls are and that your coming over here to give it some.

    Tell me which one you’re trying to achieve;

    1) Be hero worshipped
    2) Looking for backup
    3) Got no friends in real life so want everyone on the Ipswich board to think you are special

    Enjoy your season in the PL

    I guess it’s all about opinions but I thought Georginio had a very poor game.

    Like I said I’ve always stood up for him except on penalties as he’s clueless
    On them but I’m struggling to defend him anymore
    Unfortunately Ristac there seems to be zero willingness from the club to replace him except a couple of half arsed cheap attempts. So looks like we’re stuck with him for another season

    That's who I would've taken off instead of either Gnonto or James

    Watched your game: very good advert for the championship. (I maintain it’s a fantastic league)

    Neutral take aways:

    Meslier is poor. He should have saved that first goal

    How Portsmouth scored 3 I’ll never know

    Bogle seems a poor defender, which makes sense as he was part of the Sheffield United defense that conceded over 100 goals last season.

    I was shocked at how drastically you dropped off after bamford piroe and Aaronson came on.

    good luck rest of reason, I’m sure I’ll be watching you on the telly again.

    Hindsight is great but I’d have taken a CB off and dropped Ampadu back bringing on another striker and going 4-1-3–2
