Was watching with the home fans (right-hand stand as seen from the away end).
Norwood is a nuisance, and we've missed him. Downes was excellent, and Nolan coming on for Skuse was a blessing in disguise - he looked good.
Edwards wasn't very good, and I think Garbutt would rather be playing further up the pitch.
Norris looked composed; made a couple of fine saves. Still a bit concerned about how easily our wingbacks get done - Accrington, Rotherham and Sarfend have all had varying degrees of joy to this end.
Agree with comments elsewhere that their 36 was their best player, although the Southend around me didn't seem to like him at all.
Our fans were loud, especially down in the corner next to the Sarfend drum machine,
Special mention to the Old Trout pub - quality boozer that was stumbled upon by accident.
Dinner 7 - Saturday afternoon, with another well associated TWTD peer - that Vegan burger shack (TFI Vegan?) on Falcon St, where the council have put the market, while they erect that giant brass statue of Chris Mole on the Cornhill.
Anyway, I had some 'Hallaoumi' burger thing, which was well tasty, although one could notice the lack of any real Halloumi. These guys do not fck about with their seasoning, and that's really what makes this a decent meal. They slid me some Popcorn Chickin afterwards - they said I wouldn't be able to tell the difference with real chicken, which obviously wasn't the case - but hells bells, the glaze was fully, fully decent.
In summary, not as good as the Biryani Hut (the yardstick by which all Ipswich foodstalls are measured), but still very good.
Dinner 8- Pronto Pizza, on Fuluxstoo Rd.
As mentioned by man Lucan, the key here is value. An extra large pizza (20 inches) is £10.59, and if you can get anywhere close to eating even half of it, you've got worms.
The pizza itself is not bad - good thin base, fresh ingredients, altho a little bit too oily. The crust dips are underwhelming, so either make your own or throw the crusts in the garden. Would eat again, but only if all the Bella Napoli's were closed.
... it was fun, for the 15 minutes until Norwich equalised.
I can't immediately think of another manager who has come in and been so clearly, obviously, dreadfully out of his depth. Dave Hockaday at Leeds, maybe?
I heard a story today about how Doig accused Bart of stealing his international cap. Bearing in mind how much Bart has spoken about his pride in playing for Poland, one can imagine how that was received.
What next? It's gonna be ugly; the one saving grace is that we still have a chance of staying up. With this squad of dipsh1ts though, who knows?
Nolans performance was a disgrace; reminiscent of Douglas at his worst. Jogging around the centre circle, no pace, incapable of passes over 5 yards in distance.
We have nothing up front, Bolton had three of the best 4 chances in the game. A superb save from Alnwick was literally all we had.
On Upper Orwell St (Kebab Alley), where Krazy Kitchen used to be (next to Mannas).
Went there for lunch today - it is outstanding.
Ordered a burrito for £7.50; thing turned up and it was the size of a house-brick. A good start.
This was a 'wet' burrito, akin to an enchilada (as opposed to the more common 'traditional' foil-wrapped burrito) - but, frankly, who gives one solitary fck about that when the food tastes as good as this?
Everything is cooked from fresh; the salsa had mango in, and was juicy and spicy. Guacamole done extremely well, with the right ratio of avocado to lime. Loads of rice, loads of black beans, and the beef was tender. Could have done with slightly more sour cream, but my tastes are MILKY.
Demolished in 10 mins, now want another one. 8 hours later.
Independent places down Kebab Alley tend to burn very brightly before closing; Athens Kebab being a case in point. I strongly recommend investigating and eating there, before IBC put the rent up to £4k a month, so they can turn Christchurch Mansion into a bobsleigh run, or something.
In summary - very good indeed. 8.5/ 10. Go and eat there.
