Keano was usually forced to play youngsters due to his calamitous ideas of squad management. Eastman and Tommy Smith got lots of games, but largely at full back. I donât think Eastman ever played in central defence, poor sod. Strange, but nightmarish as a back line of Eastman (left back) Smith (right back) and a central defensive pairing of Delaney and Troy Brown was, I canât remember (Swansea at home notwithstanding) being as poor at defending as weâve been all this season. In fact, Smith, Eastman and Brown would have improved (well...probably) due to their exposure to first team football and we'd probably be better off. Especially with a proper manager. What in the name of spam does Jewel and his pals do all week?
I actually sat there in the stands at Millwall (not long before nearly getting lynched after my wild celebrations over Bullardâs entirely unexpected goal â thatâs what happens when you sit with the enemy away from home) pondering at how Cambridge City, for example (I watch a fair bit of non-league myself), would have put on a better display than my shower. What level on the pyramid did you reach then, Supers? Iâm one of these that regards anyone who played at any half-decent level as some kind of blessed and gifted quasi deity.
My heart goes out to you guys like Guru, Westlake and JWM for ending up with a goons like Clegg and Jewell in charge. However mad rabid dogs like Spanish and Jonah are reaping what they sow at the moment.
Welcome back Treacle! I haven't seen you on here much lately, as you can see we are still in the ****e!
Hey JWM not sure what to say to you to give you solace. We paid the ultimate humiliation and price with L1 football but bounced back. Hope you can get rid of Clegg sooner rather than later. All the best.
Treacle Whatever happens I will keep supporting the Town even if it means trips to Leyton Orient, Walsall, Exeter et al!
The real football fans are in L1 and L2 and the lower leagues. The best fans I have ever seen and heard were Carlisle Utd. I hope it doesnt come to it for Ipswich but do you think....it might be for the best ? Anyway have a great weekend geezer.
Forgot to mention, if football is giving you grief and you havent seen it yet, try Jack Bauer and 8 seasons of 24 to take your mind off it.
