At 28, will Palmer ever get another shot at playing in the Prem? He'd been at WBA for almost all his career, and they've allowed him to fulfill his dream. Good on them. |

I have a feeling it will be Man Utd at home. Just 4 days after we play them away. |
 | Forum Reply | Our record of reaching the 5th round really is poor at 09:58 10 Feb 2025
I think the 1st time we got to the 5th round was 66/67. Our 5th round record up to 1990s is: 66/67: R5 Man C 1 - 1 Ipswich R5 replay Ipswich 0 - 3 Man C 70/71: R5 Stoke 0 -0 Ipswich Replay Ipswich 0 - 1 Stoke 73/74: R5 Liverpool 2-0 Ipswich 74/75: R5 Ipswich 3-2 A Villa 77/78: R5 Brizzle Rovers 2-2 Ipswich Replay Ipswich 3 -0 Brizzle R 78/79: R5 Ipswich 0 -1 Liverpool 79/80 R5 Everton 2 -0 Ipswich 80/81 R5 Ipswich 2-0 Charlton 81/82: Shrewsbury 2-1 Ipswich 82/83 R5 Scum 1-0 Ipswich 84/85 R5 Ipswich 3-2 Sheff Weds |

"All options are on the table". Well, I was planning on putting a roast chicken on the table on Sunday, but that's put me right off. |
 | Forum Thread | Decent transfer window at 06:55 4 Feb 2025
Personally, I think that was a pretty decent window for us. The position we needed to strengthen more than any other was between the sticks, and seems like we have got a really good keeper at a great price. We kept Delap. We have two excellent centre forwards. Enciso will be a great addition. Godfrey I'm sure will strengthen squad depth. Sure a battling centre mid would have been nice. And whilst I'm not sure we needed Philogene, he does have high potential so will be one to watch. If Morsy can recover his form, and we can get these players to bond (which is hugely dependent on having a keeper they can trust and communicate with), we can get those 4 or 5 wins. |
 | Forum Reply | Regularity of Muric Errors ... at 12:25 2 Feb 2025
Walton isn't Prem quality. Muric certainly isn't. Just because Walton is better than Muric, doesn't translate that he should be our #1 for the rest of the season. |
 | Forum Reply | Do we get a goalkeeper in before the window closes? at 12:22 2 Feb 2025
It was a total misjudgment and balls up the way we let Hladky go. It was, I'm sure, simply because his contract was up, and Walton's wasn't. Hladky 100% deserved a shot in the Prem, perhaps not as the outright #1, but to compete with a new keeper. Walton is the one that should have been sold. Hladky is better than Walton, and the way we are under pressure, we need a keeper who can take the ball under pressure and remain calm. There is no better keeper for that than Vaz. The recruitment team just got that all wrong, and we have 2 keepers who are worse than the one we had in the Championship. |

It really is saying something when even Lord Lucan has to do a tax return |
 | Forum Reply | I know he has to say it but... at 17:47 31 Jan 2025
What we've learned this season is that even star players in the Championship are largely just about good enough to have a starting role in a team that is battling relegation in the Prem. Anything less than a star player in the Champ is just a squad back-up. So If we stay up, then it would take some performance of them both to come back in, especially as we would hope to move on to a stable PL team. Maybe not impossible, but in terms of probability you would get very good odds. Different if we go down. |
 | Forum Thread | Tax returns at 14:31 31 Jan 2025
Can't think I'm alone on here in doing mine today. Just finished it, about 5 hours work. But saved up 5 years' worth of professional subs that I can reclaim tax on, should pay for next year's season ticket at least. |
 | Forum Reply | Any news on Wes' injury yet ? at 14:24 31 Jan 2025
Dunno if Wes reads TWTD, but if he does, I send him very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Its been brilliant watching Wes' journey, from L2 with Fleetwood to Premier League and last month absolutely bossing Cucurella in the Chelsea game as a real highlight. We will really miss Wes in the run in, his physicality has been huge for us. Long old road to recovery, but hopefully back for the start or 25/26 in the Premier League again. |
 | Forum Reply | So bored of away point moaning at 06:31 28 Jan 2025
because every season for the last 30 years, I have been to 4 or 5 away games using my old Silver membership. Until all of a sudden in L1 , the games were sold out (i had to ask someone with a Gold membership to but tickets for me at Cheltenham), then the same in the Championship. Thirty years of 4 or 5 games, but this season none. Stuck in the 10-14 points bracket, been unable to get a ticket apart from Fulham when a friend who couldn't go harvested the points and sold me a ticket. You wanted an answer, there it is. |

In the Cobbold in the very early 70s, (East stand as it was called then), a couple of rows behind me was an old fella called Herbie Ladd. "Git stuck into 'em" was all he ever seemed to shout in a thick Suffolk accent. He loved Derek Jefferson. Those Were The Days. |

Get in there George, really looking forward to seeing you get your season back on track. Very best wishes for a successful return to action, we really need you. |
 | Forum Reply | Attacking players not fully fit at 15:41 10 Jan 2025
We have to start AAH up top - can't really see another option as we just can't keep flogging Delap. Jack Clarke on the left, Wes on the right, Taylor in the central 10. George Hirst on the bench. Broadhead also on the bench. At least this game is not gonna be played at the intensity of a PL game, so we don't have to replace the entire front line on 60 minutes. |
