BROTHERBLUE1974 added 19:06 - Mar 6 Why O why is leadfoot in there again. Hyam should at least be on the bench, what has leadfoot and bowyer got to offer young hyam can't.

arc added 19:13 - Mar 6 I think I would have put Hyam on the bench instead of Bowyer. I think we'll lose this one, though, regardless.

icetruckiller added 19:24 - Mar 6 What does Leadbitter have on PJ? Can't understand why he and Bowyer on the bench is ahead of Carson and Hyam

MazzaCOYB added 19:24 - Mar 6 You didn't go to the game on Saturday then Brotherblue? Great performance and Leadbitter was a good part of it. Very tough game tonight but the way we have been playing, we have a chance.

Garv added 19:26 - Mar 6 No shame in a defeat tonight. I just hope we can give a really good account of ourselves and sneak a result, which I'm quite confident of. If Hyam isn't starting there is little point in him being on the bench ahead of two more creative, forward thinking players in Bowyer and Stevenson.

casanovacrow added 19:26 - Mar 6 Leadboots in = Lallana will be having the easiest 1st game back he could ever imagine 4-2 to Southampton

Langdon_Blue added 19:29 - Mar 6 CLEGG OUT! I can't believe him and Cameron are planning to take away family allowance for higher tax payers in 2013. Come on Ipswich! Give a good account of yourselves!

dragonalfa added 19:30 - Mar 6 I agree with MazzaCOYB on Saturdays performance Leadbitter deserves another chance. PJ is now calling things about right and I'll side with his judgement. Still a really tough game and anything after the home debacle would be enormous steps

footyblue added 19:45 - Mar 6 I really feel sorry for Luke Hyam he has been part of the good run so very unfair to be dropped back to the old boy brigade

jas0999 added 19:54 - Mar 6 Disappointing. Hyam and Carson are the future of this club - NOT Leadbitter and Bowyer. Poor management - regardless of tonights result.

Strikes added 20:24 - Mar 6 Roy, sorry Jas, you are in danger of becoming a parody of yourself. So in the unlikely event of Town spanking the Saints 6-0 tonight, that will be poor management, will it?
