The North feel particularly let down but they're not the only part of the country with poor infrastructure
The East is shocking for many things, I suspect the South West is in a similar boat too |

Let Simpson go and then he tears it up for someone
Goes to another club a season the next season for megabucks
Sign some proven goalscorers who then get no goals
Sign a rival team's best player for over the odds only for them to sign an unknown who is then better |

I don't think Trust Pilot is particularly proportional for bigger companies
It can point to poor handling by customer services and their systems in place which link with that
I don't know the ins and outs of how these rating systems work, do Trustpilot caveat reviews with any sense of proportion?
You generally know customers are happy when they aren't contacting you, quantifying that data is always challenging unless companies are prepared to share some kind of metric to balance the complaints |

We are well supported at this level, not really a surprise is it
Pipping Sheffield Wednesday is amusing, there seems to be a little clutching at straws because we are ahead of them on home attendance average
I would agreed Wednesday are better supported and have a higher shelf for support potentially but what the stats will tell you is Ipswich are bigger than many will probably appreciate as a support base
And that's after years and years of stagnation too |

We can hope for it but they won't
They have some how hacked the rebuild job and are very experienced in it
What they haven't hacked thankfully is learning how to stay in the Premier League for any length of time or I suspect we would never hear the end of it!
This is a club who celebrate reaching the 3rd round of the FA Cup like they have actually won a European Trophy!
Imagine what they would be like if they actually won something |

It was entirely party political on Tom's part, he didn't want the Labour run council getting the credit for the City status
He is now backtracking, looking a total knob now some rival locations of similar size have got it |

Really nice guy in fairness, does a lot for local politics
Does a lot of the digital stuff behind the scenes which keeps the local Labour Party well ahead of the Tories so I am led to believe
He's from Norwich and Nodge fan but I don't hold that against him |

Reply | Didzy released
at 02:54 16 May 2022
You do notice a few old pros doing a job in League One sides who get promoted
McGoldrick could certainly play the number 10 role, is he the answer?
Not really but we have Aluko who is very good in there, Didzy could be another alongside Chaplin
As a one season wonder and another experience body for a campaign, he'd be useful
Obviously he's not Celina and he's not the future but he might be useful, he would still be handy to have, maybe once every three games or so, which wouldn't be so bad for his injury risks
I assume the Blunts used him more infrequently and got more out of him as we did towards the end of his spell here
We could do better but we could do a lot worse too
He would certainly create and score some goals at this level I am sure
Obviously he knows the place, he should fit in alright, would he move down here, presumably not?
If he likes the Midlands and doesn't want to move, is it likely to be another Midlands or Southern Yorkshire club he will be looking at as a next club, possibly League One level? |

He is a serious player though and very important to our game
I'd want a lot more than £1.5 million, that's not a big fee anymore
Could we get another player of his quality in the midfield? |

I'd describe him almost as a number 10 playing upfront, one of his best assets was keeping hold of the ball, up the field for longer
The ball would almost be glued to his foot before picking out the right pass and making sure we retained possession
I can remember when we played Southampton in the cup who were about 4th at the time in the Prem, he was one of our few players who stood out for us [Post edited 14 May 8:58]

Always struck me as someone who would chase a plastic bag all day if he was instructed to
Doesn't get as many goals as he should but I would expect him to put in a shift
As people say, probably a target we could maybe have been looking at 5 years ago
But someone you have heard of and is either far worse or better than you expect, who knows
I wasn't expecting much out of Waghorn who turned out to be a gem
League One isn't that good, we have demonstrated that with just how wasteful we are on chances
Players seem to need about five shots before they convert at this level, if we can find some athletes who work hard and are good in the area, mobile and able to finish the odd chance, we'll do better than last season
I'm still pretty annoyed by the Tyreece Simpson debacle, he seems to have the raw ingredients to be a handful at this level
He maybe being poorly advised or perhaps he is correct in wanting away, having tasted some success at Swindon, who knows [Post edited 12 May 3:52]

Finishing 3rd and not going up is what we are very good at doing sadly
Where as you can get a club who are crap for years, have one good season, go up and then spend the next 5 years in the Premier League
Someone earlier said Norwich keep rolling double sixes with their yoyoing, I'd suggest they have been doing it ever since Lambert took over
We have been rolling double 1's really since Premier League relegation |

at 07:35 9 May 2022
Whatever striker does fit McKenna's system, he hasn't found it yet
The closest to it was Jackson, I would suggest you need a fairly complete striker who is fast and powerful, a Didier Drogba type
Not that you find many of these outside the Premier League
I'm not saying he is this calibre but I would have liked to see Tyreece Simpson, he has the raw ingredients to be a handful
I can't believe the mess we have made of the situation with him, he must be our best striker prospect for some time?
You definitely need some muscle for League One at times as well, which makes Piggotts signing particularly disappointing, who knows maybe he needs a season under his belt?
My one concern with strikers with McKenna is that Man U didn't when seem to crack their striker conundrum when he was fairly heavily involved there |
