Comment | Phillips Loving Life at Town
at 11:25:52
Yesss PortmanTerrorist, just Yesss!!
I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning. This is all so great because the expectations I have are just to have a great time, no feeling of entitlement, just enjoying the ride as if it was the 80's again.
Well said. |

Comment | Burns and Broadhead Named in Wales Squad
at 10:43:10
Interesting that they have chosen to take Broadhead given his very recent recovery from injury. For once an international call up may help with offering some game time or focussed match related training.
As always hope they do well, but also stay injury free. |

Comment | Town Fans Asked to Join West Ham Protest
at 08:53:16
I totally agree with @amdam81
It is very rare that clubs themselves push back on new income generation opportunities and generally fan voices are what prompts this i.e. The Super League and more recently the shameful National League Cup |

Comment | Town Officially Premier League Club at AGM
at 09:46:35
I think the VAR debate will be more interesting than the outcome of the vote. I would be surprised if VAR was scrapped, but this may well be a point of leverage to make improvements. I dislike it hugely myself, it slows the whole process and excitement 3 or more minutes after the event is not the same. Perhaps a time limit on decisions, and if not made within that period the on field decision stands? Either way the TV pundits that called for VAR will question it to such a degree that any new measure will soon be deemed pointless I imagine. |

Comment | McKenna: After the Seasons We've Had There Was Always Going to Be Speculation
at 16:20:59
I really would like him to stay so much, but I will wish him well whatever his decision.
He has given me and my family a fantastic couple of seasons after such a terrible 20 odd years.
From my perspective he owes us nothing and I will forever be indebted to him for such a great journey to where we are now. |

Comment | McKenna Linked With Manchester United
at 09:55:28
I struggle to see where the ''win'' would be for him joining Manchester United. The structure, and infrastructure, is not in place and the requirement for instant success too high. There are going to be few managers keen to take that job, they are better leaving Ten Hag out to dry for a bit while Ineos regroup.
Loathed as I am to say it, Brighton would be a better fit for a young talent Like Kieran, but staying with us does give the opportunity to prove he can build something in the PL from, essentially, a League One structure. Even a first season relegation, which is worse case scenario, would not be a huge stain on his CV.
Sensible hat off now....
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DONT LEAVE US!! |

Comment | McKenna: A Good, Solid Team Performance
at 08:17:39
It was very interesting that when Hutchinson went down on the 15th minute he appeared to get minimal treatment. He also received a very warm pat from KM on the sidelines. From that moment the game changed incredibly. Tactical masterpiece, and I for one would love to know whether that was set for 15 minutes, was discussed as being something to try if we started poorly (it has been a theme lately) or if Hutchinson thought it was required. Either way it appeared to be a mini time out and worked a treat. BRILLIANT.
The away support sounded fantastic on TV huge congratulations to them as well.
We are still in this fantastic season and I am going to enjoy it whatever happens from here on. It has been too long not to just celebrate this success. |

Comment | Colchester Owner Cowling Hits Out at Mindless Thugs
at 11:43:50
I found that to be a really humble statement from a club official who was obviously not only embarrassed on this occasion, but also appeared shocked and appalled that something like this could happen in a football stadium.
Regardless of the club you support or the background you have I struggle to understand why causing damage to infrastructure or other people, is a way to celebrate or commiserate.
Not sure I have the intellect or expertise to understand it or blame it on anything, I would just prefer this, and other populist tribalism in society, did not happen. |

Comment | Notts County 1-1 Ipswich Town - Match Report
at 12:48:46
I wouldnt profess to be an expert, but in my opinion Skuse and Jackson were the stand out performers. Skuse in particular was reading the game very well and did not look out of place when dropping in to the right back position. His passing was noticeably better than any of the other Town representatives. I was also impressed with Rowe when he came on, again linking well on the right with Skuse. In the second half Dobra showed some real flashes of skill.
I also thought that both Guthrie and Wilson would represent useful short term punts as defensive options, say a 6 month contract. This would offer them an incentive to earn a longer deal at limited risk to the club, obviously if they really shine we could end up with them moving to bigger clubs, but we dont have much cover now so maybe it would be a pragmatic solution.
Great to see so many travelling, admittedly being local I cant claim that credit on this occasion.

Comment | Hurst: No Ill Effects for Dozzell But Kenlock Still Out
at 14:31:09
Really:
'' I had a conversation with someone here, they said it would almost be good if you played the youth team [who are currently top of their league]. The youth team wouldn't win a game of football ''
Only reason I can see for that rationale would be to silence critics/fans which would be unfortunate for those playing in that game.
Perhaps a more pragmatic approach would be to win a game with a team he picks? |

Comment | Hurst: Solid Return From Jonas
at 08:47:30
Agree Suffolkboy. I am looking forward to the new season and really excited about a new approach on the pitch, but struggling to understand the approach to the media of the new manager. That said it could be a very shrewd way of managing fans, players and the press if he has, as I suspect, totally different conversations with the players in private. Lets see how it shakes up, on and off the pitch. |

Comment | Academy Starlet Knight Set for Manchester City
at 09:07:39
Under 16 years old and being 'bought' for £1m. I hope he remains ok as a kid because that must be incredible pressure at such a young age.
Not sure I could have maintained my sanity at that age (not sure I did and I wasn't worth a rabbit and a conker to Newmarket Upper School first XI :) |

Comment | Burley Applies for Town Job
at 14:49:52
Whilst some are rightly taking the emmotion out of their judgement on this one,it doesnt look like anyone is hugely revolted by the idea, so this could be a good solution. We as fans will have to give anyone time though.
Personally I would be over the moon to see these too back and know that loads of that is nostalgia, but isnt a Kuqi appointment to some degree?
At worse the fact that George has applied raises the bar on the selection process as could you really appoint a big name untested (Lampard) or someone who has recently failed (Coleman) ahead of someone with so much proven experience?
Anyway back to my emotions, cant wait to tell the kids!!!! |

Comment | Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and West Brom Linked With Blues Boss
at 16:59:18
I am led to believe that agents are often responsible for this type of ''source'' in order to drive up the leverage of their client whether that is with their curent employer i.e. increased terms or a '541T or get off the pot' approach to getting an extended contract or putting out feelers with new employers.
That said I believe in alot of unlikely things such as a saeson like '81 happening again. |

Comment | McCarthy: Like Benyu, Morris Will Benefit From National League Loan
at 16:16:20
Morris did ok against Forest at Alfreton on Monday, but for me the outstanding performer was Nydam. Lightniing and aggressive when at left back and did not look out of place when switched to middle of the park for the last 15 minutes.
Some of the locals commented on Dozzell as a class act, but I think that was more about his press as I did not think he had the best game I have seen him play. |
