Imagine Portman Road is gone. You have to pick up another stadium and drop it into IP1 for the remainder of this seasons matches. Fixtures are the same, ticket demand is the same, location the exact same.
Which stadium are you going for and why?
Think my pick would be Villa Park. I reckon we could fill it for most games this season, and there’s something special about a four sides stadium…. And I couldn’t bring myself to say Elland Road.
Hierarchies at West Ham and Everton might have have been too worried about us catching them after the Newcastle game, but our last couple of performances and transfer activity in the window already seems to have them looking after their shoulders!
We’ve had a few big late goals go for us, but definitely more against in and around 90 minutes. Got to think how much healthier the table could look right now. Is it a mentality thing or a fitness thing? My guess is a little bit of both.
I completely understand be runs himself into the ground, but at the same time you can’t sit there and say Al Hamadi today was more influential on the game than Delap would have been running on 50% for those last ten minutes?
AAH has looked a bit brighter in certain games, but I can’t help feel today was his last league appearance for us.
He’s a talented player, but not (yet) a PL player.
First off he’s saved our bacon a lot this season. Saves like his one on one block away at spurs for example - huge. But he’s still a bit unpredictable which I just don’t think can give his back line much confidence.
Thought for their first goal he would be criticised if he hadn’t come out, but as it was it looked like he rushed out quickly and was stranded (but like away to City).
Is he a better shot stopper than Walton? I think 100% yes, especially 1v1. But surely Walton has to be banging McKennas door down asking when he gets a chance? Maybe Walton is too nice and too quiet to be doing that?
For what it’s worth, I don’t think we will drop him but I do think another keeper capable of challenging to be number one will be signed in Jan. I thought the plan was always to sign two keepers over the summer anyway?
First time in two a half feeling like this 48 hours before a game. Maybe I’m still pee’d off about how Tuesday unfolded, but it’s a strange feeling not being excited to be at Portman Road. Many will say “get a grip we’re in the premier league” which is completely fair and very much true, but I know there will be others feeling the same.
I’m sure come 1.50 on Sunday that will change, here’s hoping!
Their narrative still won’t change. And the bald Geordie will have another stat which shows we are the worst professional team to ever grace the field in a top flight football match.
