Of BlueMonday season lookback podcast. Joe,David, Rich, Ben, David, Craig have you thought about having a podcast with Harry from Bath, to get his input of the demise of Ipswich? And his take on the new ownership and management? It would be interesting to get his feedback on Cooks approach to player motivation vs demolition man
At Ipswich Town, we have heard more from the new owners face to face in 24 hours than we heard from the previous owner in 13 years. All we need now is to cull the players who impress when they are not under pressure and collapse if they are put under any pressure when closed down or tackled and get rid of the ball asap, usually backwards
This club is sinking lower than low. The only way to make Lambert a coach is to knock out his teeth and put in seats. I was a season ticket holder for 12 years, then moved abroad and subscribed to ifollow, I have just cancelled my subscription. I am totally fed up by lacklustre performances by management and players, backwards, sideways, backwards is not the way the Ipswich I knew would play.
My impression, thus far, based on team selections in all games is that Lambert after 2 years does not have a clue what his first 11 should be. Fair enough establishing a 4 3 3 formation and playing out from the back...but do we have the ball playing defence to do that? I would rather than "giving everyone a game" that our efforts should be on establishing a settled side, round pegs in round holes, play our best 11, others get in when they can match the first team players performances...not because they need a game. The one highlight for me was the midfield trio, Downes, Dozzell and Bishop. I have a dread of this year being like last year with rotation being the norm. Our squad is too big, arguably too expensive, and needs to be reduced. Too many journeymen reducing the chances of our own academy players, too many players whose best days are behind them and I was initially a Lambert fan, but if there is no improvement in the first few months he should be replaced before Christmas no matter what compensation has to be paid. (Honest pre season thoughts)
Just watched UK update tonight and the use of facemasks was poo pooed. If that is the case why are facemasks an integral part of PPE equipment for NHS staff?
Coronovirus means games have to be played behind closed doors it would be a gesture of good faith by the club to award ifollow subscriptions to season ticket holders, with live coverage of those matches, as is currently the case for overseas ifollow members now. What do you think?
Boris Johnson has the tactical savvy of Ethelread the Unready and Pritti Patel has the tact and diplomacy of Atilla the Hun. I'm just glad that they run the country rather than Ipswich Town......so things could be worse
Whats the funniest thing you have inadvertently overheard? I was queuing up to board a flight from Heathrow to Dublin and the two women in front of me were having an animated conversation. The first lady said-
- "I am off to see Mary, she has just had a baby boy" - "That's grand, what is she going to call him?" - "Sean" - "SEAN, every Tom, Dick and Harry is called Sean"
Cue laughter from me followed by embarassment as they turned round to see what was so funny...
That we have "the best squad in the league" This has been proved to be an utter fallacy. The players do not have the skill, or the commitment (with one or two exceptions) for league one never mind the Championship. Throughout the course of the season numerous different formations have been tried with numerous different players with the same result...abject failure. If we have to resort to hoofing the ball up the park we need a big target man, a la Simpson, rather than the vertically challenged forwards we employ. On the bright side I reckon Town would be top of the league if it was 5 aside...but unfortunately it isn't and you cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
