Comment | Unlikely League One Play-Off Extension Proposed
at 08:24:24
So PL, and each division doing their own thing, with no coordination. Lge2 have decided that top three go up and no relegation. How can they do that when it effects Lge1? Say PL decide to void season, no relegation.So no C’Ship promotion, so they do the same thing, so no Lge1 promotion,C’Ship wouldn’t want a 27 team division.Same applies to Lge1, so no Lge 1 promotion.Just an example, but we have the lowest division making a decision unilaterally without consulting the others, |

Comment | Delaney: Keane Would Destroy Me After Games But Still Picked Me
at 14:01:36
Well Delaney went on to play regularly in the PL at Palace, and captained them for a while.
Didn’t McCauly leave us for nothing under Keane, and went in to play PL football wil WBA, and captain them for a while. Always seemed to me that Keane lacked maturity, was a bully, and Jonny Walters must have been the only footballer to stand up to him. |

Comment | UEFA: Season Must Finish By End of June
at 20:43:23
Interesting to see how this works with players whose current contracts run out at the end of season as was. Would they agree to extend their contracts to the 30th June or beyond of course, particularly if they had an good offer from a bigger club, or even a club in the same division, who they could end playing for against their current team? |

Great player for and a great radio host. Someone mentioned that guests stole the limelight. That’s what a host is meant to do. Great banter as well as good knowledge of the game, especially with Ally there. Brilliant combo. 20 years.Thats some achievement. I’ll still tune in on Thursdays and Fridays,not so sure about the rest of the week.Laura OK, likes her sport, is quite knowledgeable,and very pleasant but gets a bit girly at times, which doesn’t work for me I’m afraid. Be interesting to see the listening figures. |

“ Dynamic chief executive” ? You don’t really think Evans would want someone like who actually ran the Club do you? He as a majority shareholder runs the Club from afar using a mouthpiece to front up-Clegg,Milne,O’Neil. Our Board,such as it is, are toothless. Not their fault, what can they do apart from running admin,governance and account? When was the last you saw/heard a board member preferring an opinion on football, the team , anything? Oh yeah the Co.Sec said something about Covid19. Oh for the days of a Chairman, with an MD, a Board of committed individuals with collective responsibility, acumen, intellect, an emotional investment in our Club, resolving issues, making decisions together. In other words a proper company structure, with a meaningful functioning Board. |

Every thing on here. Evans out, Lambert out, Evans our saviour,keeping us afloat, the McCarthyIt’s.
Surely our troubles start at the top. Yes ME saved us, but it wasn’t a gift, and hasn’t been since. The “club” now owes him £95million. Yes let’s know he’ll never get it back, but he could get something back if he called it in, and wound up the club. Anyway, what have we got for that £95 million? Nothing but survival as a football, a struggling football club at that. He’s not going to increase funding fo4 players, and we’re running an operating loss of £7/8 million a year, so we’re living above our means. Without the handouts where would we be? |

I think the local media should refrain from doing pressers with Lambert. He’s either like a broken record or getting tetchy because someone dares to ask a difficult question. |

Comment | Skuse: Pressure Isn't the Issue
at 12:05:19
Too late now to change anything now. window closed,Lambert going nowhere, for three and a half years. Should have sacked before the window opened and Warnock brought in.Never thought I’d say that but that he would have shaken them up, and guaranteed no shirkers with him as boss. Might not have been prett (we can’t do pretty anyway), but we would be fighting tooth and nail, more solid and having a real go at promotion. |

Comment | Warnock on Town Links
at 17:05:19
Warnock a better bet for promotion imo. Quality of football? Not seeing much quality at the moment frankly, or all season apart from a few decent spells in some games. I’m sure sure that PL commands the respect of the players, and. If his team talks are similar to his rambling interviews, repeating himself all the time, no wonder we are strugggling! |

Comment | Lambert: If They Want to Go and Employ Another Manager, No Problem
at 09:26:54
So is he 1.just so passionate about football that he just can’t control his emotions, or 2. Playing ME
for transfer cash, or 3. Stoking up the players, or 4. an egotist who has an over inflated opinion of his abilities, or 5. An insecure obsessive who can’t handle anything less than adulation, or 6. A bit of a drama queen who needs to grow up and think of the possible negative consequences before sounding off like spoilt kid? I half expected him to say “ well if you think you can do any better then do it yourself”. Oh dear. Mr.Evans have a word, and if you don’t like the answer, no what it is required. |

Comment | Politics and Ipswich Town
at 12:25:21
Not very impressive, but hey we are all entitled to our opinions. Anyway, I look on my footy as an escape from the rest of my life, and simply refuse to make up theories or connections between footy and life in general. It’s so easy to do that about anything. Pseudo intellectuals do it all the time. So ITFC have been an insulated part of my life for over sixty years and that’s where it will stay - emotionally and mentally. 💙 |

Comment | Ipswich Town 1-2 Coventry City - Match Report
at 11:18:27
As has been mentioned above,PL has achieved some good things since he arrived a the Club, but unfortunately most them are off the pitch. I do not believe that we have enough quality to make the rotation system work. We must have the biggest squad in the division, but we are being outperformed by clubs’ with far less playing resources. We havn’t play that well all season imo, here and there in some games yes, but that’s simply not good enough. That said, I think we have a decent
first eleven, with some good back up, whether that’s with a grafting 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1. PL talkes @bout PeP and Klopp, they don’t make that many changes, and neither do Leicester for that matter.
Decide how to play, pick your best team and stick with it. If we fail to get up this season then PL will have failed,pure and simple, in which he should go. |

Comment | Ipswich Town 0-2 Rotherham United - Match Report
at 11:50:45
Results good, until last two games, but performances not especially. Yes we’re second, but we havn’t bossed many games so far. Second half Wimbledon @nd Bolton of course. Most teams i have seen this season have been on top for periods of the game and have not been inferior. We’ve been getting away with it quite frankly. How many of this squad would get into a Championship squad, let alone team? Too much tinkering for my tastes. If we want to play Downes and Skuse in front of a back four then fine, should be solid. Play two wide midfield players in front our two attacking full backs-develops those partnerships. See Judge tomQPR if they’re still keen, and Dozzell to whoever.
Get in an experienced combative CM and a CF (physical presence). |

Comment | Ex-Walsall Defender Guthrie Training With Blues
at 15:02:07
Agree with SaigonTractor. If we’re going to go freebee then do it to have number at the back. If we’re going to spend bigger on wages do it up front. Also, we could soon need two new midfielders! So much optimism at the end of last season even though we were relegated. First league game Saturday week, still short up front and at the back, Judge and Dozzell could leave,and eight players injured. I think we’ll do ok and we’ll see more wins(remember those?), but we do need to have a good start. |
