Comment | Woolfenden: Chambo and Wardy a Big Help to the Young Guys
at 17:49:16
LC is very much under appreciated ; far too many willing to tot up the deficit marks , fail to recognise the plus points or are only too willing to apportion blame wilfully , without proper perspective .
We are very lucky and favoured to have this great servant on the books and contributing in so so many aspects COYB |

Comment | McCarthy Set For APOEL Nicosia
at 17:27:25
Best of luck M.m , you proved you’d excellent judgement whilst you were here ; brought in some real talent , brought on and encouraged many youngsters AND generated some appreciable income when players were sold on .
If only at that stage ME had appreciated just what rewards a proper reinvestment would have brought , then quite possibly ITFC would have made the Premiership .
As a person then throughout the Club and at the Academy you were enormously valued ,and maintained respect ,discipline and moral standards : let’s wish you well in whatever you choose to do ,and know you’ll have uncomplicated and uncompromised values to instill .
Best wishes . |

Must wish TN the very best ; he’s a young man of good promise and good character into the bargain .
We should all hope, for him, that his recovery is every bit as successful as can be ,and that his chosen path as a professional footballer is not jeopardised !

We definitely need more fit ,both morale wise and to provide different options for the Management ,in what’s starting to look like a side which lacks a cutting edge and any threat of ruthless execution .
Is it nervousness, innate frailty or lack of technique ? — or is the hunger and drive to net the ball somehow missing ?
Let’s get em all fit ASAP .

Comment | Lincoln City 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match Report
at 18:36:02
AN is as yet no thinker , not wise enough and therefore can be and is exposed in ‘uncertain ‘ situations — and yet it’s under pressure we need to see strengths and cool heads : PL must surely be confronted with the logical questions ,and expected to have proper answers.
As to ST ,then ITFC ( or somebody in the hierarchy ) should be asking for and getting published acknowledgement and apologies for the sort of unrestrained behaviour which on the pitch would, and did, result in punishments we don’t need and can’t afford .
Perhaps PL will apologise too !
Individual, personal strengths and character and resilience are needed at the heart of the team , and certainly in defence — sadly we’ve not demonstrated cool headed consistency and resolute performance here .
JN has so many shallow , poor characteristics and personal weaknesses that it’s doubtful he will ever shine , dominate and calmly produce ; losing his temper only compounds his disturbing lack of contribution .
ME must wonder whether and when we shall see a complete squad available ,AND whether PL can show he CAN get the very best out of everyone , no matter what occurs . Where oh where is the determination and fighting never say die spirit ?
What’s happened to the togetherness — has it dissipated in the face of a spirited foe ?
We who ARE ITFC deserve much much better .
How ME and L O’N tackle this will be illuminating !

Comment | Lincoln City 0-0 Ipswich Town - Half-Time
at 16:14:52
Do we struggle away from PR to feel comfortable and confident ? Are we rather underwhelming and not assertive enough , or not aggressive enough ,or lacking that element of self- belief ?
Let’s hope ITFC find their feet in the second half , bring that extra edge , better timing and generally feel able to sharpen up .,
COYB we’re all behind you , pile it on ,go for it ! |

Comment | Lankester, Ward, Bishop and Hawkins Start at Lincoln
at 15:11:36
Feels good to read of ; feels positive throughout and a multi- faceted line up on the bench .I’d guess everyone involved will be willing us on and probably desperate to get on that field at some stage and actually contribute !
Let’s hope for NO injuries and NO enforced substitutions ,with confident play and goals to bring a smile !

Comment | Chambers: Huge to Be Alongside Club's Biggest Names
at 15:11:46
Great attitude ,to life, to Skippering, to playing and being part of the side. Particularly like his comment about waiting some 24 hours before trying to reach judgements and conclusions after a game .
By all means take a sample of opinions pretty soon after the final whistle; but sensibly allow emotions to subside , sentiment to lapse and THEN review again in the colder light .As a professional team ITFC have the decided advantage of being able to review together with not only the benefit of hindsight , but video evidence ; a whole team contribution , plus coaching and Management comments fed into such a forum only help improvements and foster even better team spirit .
Congratulations LC , we’re very lucky to have you as our Skipper — keep fit !

JW appears honest and straightforward in his approach ; that is if you’re not looking for hidden agenda of some sort !
We will make mistakes , either collectively or individually , so let’s get over it, move on and stay supportive and positive ( only TOO easy to be armchair critics and negative ) !!

Comment | Doncaster Rovers 4-1 Ipswich Town - Match Report
at 21:48:42
One does wonder what AJ might say if asked what he thinks he brings to the side , what characteristics determine his game, what character he tries to portray ; he looks a loose thinker, sometimes a lazy player who only sparkles occasionally rather than a consistent technician who can and will always want to contribute .Has not looked worth a place in the line up and lets down his colleagues and the manager.
JN also rarely imposes himself, but has this season seemed more committed .
Let’s see what effect this loss has on morale ; it may be the journey up , or lord forbid pending sickness impinged on performance .
But there’s loads of chances ahead to return to winning ways and mistakes will always occur ,so let’s get chins up !

Oh dear ! Need to get our dander up and go after the game and a win — mustn’t let heads drop , character now AND ,without carping , it’s high time AJ had the nous and technical skills to be a lot more deadly around the goal ( and we’d like to see EH scoring and finding extra depths to his game ) .

at 14:28:58
It’s very tempting to ask again ‘ what goes on ‘ ? -but we have to accept the status quo, get out there ,play well and do justice to the Club and supporters .I feel sure that’ll be the aim this afternoon and FS is nobody’s fool wherever he’s asked to play , and we know from past performances can well act as the foil for others ,and has shown he knows where the goal is .
Given the results this season we ought to be ebullient and confident whenever a game comes along !
Looking forward to another good result and pleasing reports .

Comment | Lambert: If Change is Going to Come Everyone Has to Be Involved
at 19:12:24
Let’s hope this rotten proposal gets what it deserves ; sadly much needs to be ‘righted ‘ about both our game and the league structure, AND the Alice in Wonderland way some clubs are run , managed and ‘not ‘ funded .
Many will remember Third Division North and South ; at the very least that conserved expenditure ,and almost certainly promoted localised patriotism and earnest competition .BUT in those days Greed , the Money go round , International exposure etc were not perhaps even thought about .
Sadly our game has deteriorated in many ways over the intervening period ; the business of entertainment has taken over , integrity and honesty and reliable sportsmanship have become largely bygones !
ALL these are good reasons not to allow panic decisions , in this pandemic, to shape the future— for its unlikely to be for the better !
Make haste slowly !!
