Ely fox Posted 10 April Share Posted 10 April Ipswich Town 3 Watford 0 and Ipswich Town to go 2 points clear of us in the table with us a game in hand. I’d prefer the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the utter horror show and it’s implications from last season? People haven't looked at other Championship seasons. Something i've been banging on about most of the year (why dont people ever listen to me ). Teams get promoted yet still drop a lot of points. Last season Sheff Utd lost 11 and Burnley drew 14. Doesn't make our level since January right, but there has been far to much 'our squad is elite' and 'Dave from accounts could get this bunch promoted'. All the HMS piss the league stuff totally skewed everyones thinking. Remember all the predictions that we would go the season unbeaten, then break the points record. This is one of the most expensive squads thats played in the Championship, but it's nowhere near the best. Too many cast offs from the relegation season who are winding contracts down, a thin midfield and a dependency on a 37 year old striker. But still people comment that this is by far the best there is, even though they saw the absolute shambles they dished up last year. Got to get this over the line, get rid of the deadwood and let the club work out how it wants to deal with the next problem. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always makes me smile that some people can be so quick form opinions on some things, yet so slow to update their judgement on players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weller54 Posted 10 April Share Posted 10 April Can those Hornets get us out of the mire tonight? Nah, doubt it very much. 2-0 Jamswich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 10 April Share Posted 10 April Watford are playing well to be fair. Although if Ipswich are to win, can they please get it wrapped up early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven’t been playing in Europe and challenging for a Champions League spot, so their wage bill is going to be much less than ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they got their medicine in recent memory and it was a heavy dose, would expect them to be especially careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_no7 Posted 10 April Share Posted 10 April 1 hour ago, StanSP said: Not necessarily, considering other teams have also dropped enough points to not be better than us. So if anything, it just emphasises a) how well we did in the first half of the season and b) how badly other teams are doing/have done. It's shambolic by our own standards, but I wouldn't say we don't deserve promotion because of it. Oh I know I’ve added hyperbole😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously don’t rate the squad as highly as you, but too me the point about our lack of draws is an even greater concern, feels like a stronger mentality might have seen us claw back a few draws.

I don't understand why you think the squad is anything special. We have some decent players in there, but depend on a few to be on it for us to perform. Midfield is weak, especially when you consider there is a formula to playing KDH and Ndidi has one foot out of the door. Little rotation in key positions, a 37 year old striker, 2 alternatives that fail and a new recruit thats always injured. The squad is a mishmash of potential stars, yesterdays relegation failures, and overpaid hanger ons who can't wait to leave to get their next signing on fee.

Yeah 5-6 of them losses should’ve been draws. Clear mentality issues and total lack of plan B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad is a mishmash of potential stars, yesterdays relegation failures, and overpaid hanger ons who can't wait to leave to get their next signing on fee. Our back up CB’s Coady and Souttar would start for every single other team in this league. Vardy, Kelechi, Patson and Cannon for one spot. Dennis Praet is our back-up 8. Yunus Akgun our rotation option for 8 and RW. We casually swap Doyle and James Justin. We didn’t need Daniel Iversen and had no place for Viktor Kristeansen. Mcateer, Albrighton and Nelson all used sparingly. There is no doubt in my mind that our squad, despite its faults, as well as our first 11 is the best this level has ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
