Comment | McKenna Bookies' Favourite For Brighton Job
at 13:33:21
Would be very surprised if he goes but Potter or Cooper would be good replacements. Potter built what de Zerbi has used (less successfully) and Cooper had an impossible job at Forest. TBH I wonder about Brighton. If l was them, I would not want someone who has never managed at the highest level. Adkins, who got Saints into the PL with successive promotions never managed the big time |

Just in case we all forget- it was a thoroughly enjoyable game which could have gone either way. And while it was not the result we wanted l saw no signs of bottling. |

I can’t move for my bum squeaking. l sat next to a bloke (Scot) who had come down from Aberdeenshire and brought his little four year old son. I promised a return to his usual football poison- the improbably named Inverurie Loco Works. |

I think we look more solid with Tuanzebe. It is noticeable the disallowed goal in the first half came about when he was out of position. Our final ball was poor today. Luckily for us when Blackburn put us under pressure it was mostly balls in the air and we have the personnel to deal with that. Might be a minority view ( certainly in Blackburn) but l thought the ref was pretty good. None of their ‘goals’ should have stood. Our goal was weird cos we were all the other end and it took a second for everyone to realise it had gone in. Couldn’t see the shout for a pen early on. |

I haven’t seen it so would like to hear from those who have about Tuanzebe. He had a great game last week and it looked as if we are finally getting out of him the talent he undoubtedly possesses. Is it a coincidence his presence has coincided with a rare clean sheet? |

Good luck to him whatever he does. I have never heard a grumble or complaint about him. He is living proof that if you have the talent, it can developed at Town. |

Comment | Richardson: You Saw the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Us
at 17:44:15
Tiredness is a poor excuse for what happened last night. How many games do the likes City, Liverpool and Arsenal play at the highest level? The truth is Town were off it from the start, were allowed a lot of space to score three goals and then the whole team relaxed thinking it job done. I am loathe to criticise a KMK team but the issue was attitude and in that department we were taught a lesson. Rotherham know they are going to be relegated and no one would have blamed them for defeat but they never gave up. I have nothing but admiration for their professional attitude. |

I don’t buy this stuff about tiredness. Attitude was the issue. As soon as the third went in, they relaxed and things went from bad to worse. All credit to Rotherham who never gave up and deserved something from the game. Credit also to their fans who are having a miserable season and cannot have had much hope. |

We were poor first half but the first goal resulted from a foul and the second was offside. They lost their heads a bit after that with a lot of misplaced passes and little movement when in possession. Obvs mistakes at the back and Burns poor. If Moore had been on from the start we would have won comfortably. He is clearly what he have been missing. I can’t see Jackson ever getting another start |

at 20:03:52
He’s not very quick or the most technical but he holds the ball up well and his height gives us something we have badly lacked. I have lost count of the number of crosses coming in from both wings where there is no one with the ability to seriously challenge in the air. His presence means opposing defences will have something else to think about. |

Comment | Town Targeting Wimbledon Striker Al-Hamadi
at 16:50:53
Well blow me down. I was watching Iraq the other day and said to an Iraqi friend we could do with one or two of their players, especially a striker. He said he thought there was as Iraqi playing in England but we couldn’t find him, probably cos he’s not in the PL. No idea if he will be any good but being 6’2” is a great start. We lack muscle up front. Poor old Kayden isn’t strong enough whatever his other qualities. He got absolutely nothing out of Leicester. I don’t like it when people criticise him. He does his best. But we could really do with a beast. |

Some positives today. All our defenders including Edmundson looked solid although we missed having forward runs on the flanks from deep positions. Also Jackson had a presence today, unlike against QPR. No one played badly but a lot of the final balls were not very good and we found it difficult against a packed penalty area. We obviously lack a combative striker at present. Not too much wrong against a side who have been in form recently |

Comment | Hirst: A Lesson Learned
at 20:49:19
A few take aways from Saturday. We struggle against big physical teams, like last season. West Brom were exceptional without the ball and pretty lethal on the break. I thought Hirst part of the problem. He got nothing at all from their central defenders and WB closed down Chaplin very effectively. Nor did we get enough players in the box when the ball came in from the wings. And l agree our CBs are adequate but no more. I would like to see Scarlett given a start. And l hope we pick the pace up on Wednesday. Far too much backwards and sideways on Saturday. |

It was a good result Saturday but it did reveal some weaknesses. Burgess is an ok stopper but not much of a footballer and our forwards struggled- out wide and Hirst. The bright spot is Chaplin, not just for goals. He is the one player who can do the unexpected. Hutchinson has been brought in for that but QPR just bullied him. |

The nub of it is the club lost over £12m last financial year. No one makes money in the Championship so I would guess the plan is get to the Prem and then sell on. |

Comment | Crewe Alexandra 1-1 Ipswich Town - Match Report
at 19:48:27
Another depressing afternoon. Lots of misplaced passes, no real penetration, a system the players do not have the talent to make effective etc. When the fans chant “ We never score from corners” and it doesn't change you really have to wonder what goes on in training. Crewe are a poor team but they created better chances in the second half when most of the back line went missing. We are so laboured and predictable. There is no pace, energy or invention. |

Comment | Town Takeover Close
at 10:05:55
I can't join in with the general euphoria. I understand why people feel relieved and all supporters by definition are optimists but there are good reasons to feel wary. Football clubs rarely make money which is why historically they were owned by local worthies who saw it almost as a civic duty. Marcus Evans has lost a fortune but it is his money to lose. It worries me that the potential owners have interests in commercial property because a great deal of what they are buying is real estate. Be under no illusions- the new owners interests are purely commercial. They have no emotional attachment to the town or the club. For them we are simply one of many assets. This is not to say that a more professional approach to running the club is a bad thing or that we cannot possibly succeed under the new regime. But never forget in their eyes we are just a commodity. |
