Comment | Still Ill Bullard Misses Birmingham Trip
at 13:10:49
Get well soon Jimmy and re-discover that form from last year! You've got history of keeping teams up (Fulham) and could be the difference this year at your best!
For those saying Jimmy got what he wanted playing well last year to earn a contract here and now coast along - I'm not convinced! I genuinely believe he loved his time here, playing for PJ & just wants to play games in the latter stages of his career. Would he have joined us had Hull not cancelled his contract - we'll never know but I still have faith a fully fit, firing Jimmy will help us out of the mess we are in. He just needs to do his talking on the pitch and restore some faith in the doubters! |

Comment | Ever Dreamed of Playing for Town?
at 15:56:33
I would definitely encourage everyone to get involved with this. I met the guys last year and made my debut at WorldNet 2010 following getting to know a few lads at the Portman Cup. A top bunch and we have a cracking laugh everywhere we go. I played 10 or so more games for PDFC this season up & down the country and had some memorable weekends away with the lads and have made some truely great friends. Typically involves a morning match in the Blues shirt, then going to watch & chees the Tractor Boys on followed by some evening beers & most importantly a good laugh.
Standard varies team to team & is always competitive - especially at WorldNet. Hope to see soe of you along soon |

Comment | Edwards Fed Up With Soft Goals
at 13:07:37
10 goals conceeded in last 3 games without Big Mac speaks for itself really. And of those 10 goals we must have gifted 6 or 7 with bows on for Xmas!
O'Dea has looked shaky since his return (maybe the baby is playing on his mind), Delaney was unklucky to see red in my view at Norwich but don't understand why he wasn't in the squad Saturday (Keane can you explain?). Smith has been playing well for me despite breaking the number 1 rule for a defender the other day and Brown looked fairly solid - a couple of hairy clearances
Preston is now a MASSIVE game..... I think we can safely forget any thoughts of playoffs right now and stop this rot.....
Anyone know when G-Mac is due back? |

Comment | Keane: No One to Blame But Ourselves
at 17:08:01
Don't understand Delaney's adbsence from the squad! There was some experience we could have done with. Understand Brown & Tommy played well midweek but surely Delaney should have come back in - at least the bench! Yes Tommy was at fault for the 2nd but generally he has had a good season and he is only 20.
My views for what they are worth - Thought Murphy didn't do enough for their first goal. Glad Andros is back, have been crying out for him and his positivity in attack & he's justifying it. Their keeper made a couple of great saves (Scotland effort & Brown header), Priskin should have done better with his free header.
Again surprised at Peters absence from the starting 11? First 30 mins was painful watching them pass us to death but had a good spell in the second half & some decent chances in the first. Looked so nervous at the back everytime we had the ball & they put pressure on!
Personally I think we deserved a point with the chances we had (excluding Andy 'I shouldn't even ref in the BlueSquare' D'Urso & the invisible penalty) - even though Swans dominated possession. Other than their goals I can't remember Murphy having to make a save!
'You've got to draw the line somewhere on it' - Is that a clue from Mr Keane as to his future? |

Comment | Norris: We Let Down the Fans and the Staff
at 12:50:04
"it was probably just another game". He is probably referring to all the loan players who don't have ITFC at their heart and are being payed elsewhere. Why would they care, they have no loyalty to the fans or ITFC and are playing to impress their parent club etc.
Appreciated Norris apologising at the end and Fulop made the effort to come over, applaud & apologise - but not happy that only 4 or 5 players did this. Smith & Leadbitter were the only others I recall - the rest just trotted off down the tunnel
How the likes of Hyam, Townsend, O'Connor, Peters are now been frozen out is beyond me. All our youngsters being pushed aside for loanees who will not be at ITFC come the summer or even January most of them. Fallon is the most recent example of this, pushing Connor down the list no doubt (know he was injured yesterday).
Confidence at the club is at an all time low and I am really struggling to see the light until Keane goes - enough is enough now... |

Comment | Reid: Fallon Fee Agreed
at 10:43:53
Great, just read on EADT that Wickham is now also out for two weeks after getting injured in the ressies this week (probably hence why we signed Fallon)
Good one, clever idea to use him in a reserve game in the week before the derby!

Comment | Fallon Signs on Loan
at 15:59:57
leadbitter6 - I will cheer on Fallon as I do any player who wears the Blue & represents our club (as bad as it looks signing a L1 player where others around us are getting proven quality).
What frustrates me the absolute most about this is the fact the strikers we have (under contract) haven't been given a proper chance due to Keanes tactics - 1 up top. Now another Loanee will take their place, move them down the pecking order, dent confidence & only be a short-term, panic solution. Why will it take a Loan to change to 4-4-2....
We have way too much reliance on loans now (remember the Budgies 2 seasons ago), players can't gel & do they really care about ITFC. And Keane can't keep using the excuse of having a threadbare, inexperienced, young squad. He decided to clear the deadwood (most of it rightly so IMO), had millions to spend on players above 95% of Championship Teams and hasn't replaced or delivered. |

Fatboy, if Keane plays two up top then it might (BIG might) prove to be an OK purchase but still don't see this as the difference in getting us promoted.
And why if Keane is now going to start playing 2 up top isn't he going to give Tamas & Connor a proper chance. Tamas has looked a new player this year - on form, scores for his country - then gets dropped at Hull. And Connor must be wanting out soon if he is being put down the pecking order by the likes of Fallon without being given more than a couple of late sub appearances!!!
People - please get over Jordan Rhodes though!!! |

What must this do to our current strikers confidence (already shot to pieces), getting dropped for a League 1 player who has only scored once all season!
If we lose Connor (the brightest prospect we've had in years) for the likes of this guy then Keane really doesn't know what he is doing (which for the record I don't think he does now). Priskin was just getting his confidence back and Scotland must be fed up of getting balls hoofed to him with no-one to help out. |

Comment | Town Complete Zuiverloon Loan Signing From West Brom
at 13:32:22
So we need a right back now then?.....
Decent signing to be fair though, much happier with this than Fallon but shame its only now we are only now signing these sort of players - and on loan.
So thats: O'Dea, Zuiverloon, Colback, Livermore, Townsend & Fallon - how many can we play at once?
Long-term where does this leave us. With so many rid-of at the start of the season, those only on loan and those out of contract at the end of the season I really am starting to worry abit.
Trying to keep positive but really struggling..... |

I really don't know what to say, this has tipped it for me! The guy has lost the plot....
Seriously what good is a Plymouth reserve striker with 66 goals in 319 appearances at League 1 or below going to do for us when Keane doesn't even give our strikers a decent run in the side. And ANOTHER Loan, so how many is that now. Worrying, worrying signs! Hope I'm proved wrong....
FFS just give Connor & Priskin a run rather than 1 up top with no help and dropping them coz they ain't scoring....
AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH |

Comment | Town Amongst Clubs Linked With Manchester City Striker
at 10:54:54
Another striker will do little if we continue to play 1 up top, other than annoy our strikers further.
We have 3 more than capable strikers at this level in Priskin, Scotland & Connor. They just need a run of games and some support rather than constant rotation and playing 1 up top until we are losing! |

Comment | Keane: We\'re Not Ready to Cement Top Six Place
at 12:49:30
Extremely dissapointing result. Each time we look as if we are ready to kick on we take another step back.
Worrying for me is we have lost 4 of the last 6 league games (or 5 in last 8) which looks more relegation form on paper. Still, it shows how tight the league is that we are still 7th following such a dissapointing month or so. No consistency at all, although its better than the draws we had last season.
We are traditionally a better team after xmas so hoping we can stay in touch with the top 6 and strengthen in January & go on a solid run. COYB |

Comment | Liverpool Watching Wickham at Watford
at 13:05:23
Agree we should be looking to keep Connor at all costs.
Dissapointing he hasn't had more game time through injury, internationals & our formation which see's Scotland get the nod. For his age he is an immense talent and am worried if he doesn't have more gametime he might get tempted by the big boys.
Agree with Surco, when he played alongside Scotland against Cardiff he was the stand out player for me and was unlucky not to have a couple of goals but for David Marshall - great strength, football brain and power.
A good run in the side and I'm sure he'll start knocking them in like the tail end of last year. Think thats our striking problem at the minute, only Jason is getting a decent run because of the 4-1-4-1. Priskin was scoring and looking much better until Scotland signed & has been left out from the start for a while (Milwall aside) and not great at Watford from what I have heard!
Tough game but hoping for something at Forest - COYB |

Comment | Keane Hits Out at Critics
at 10:01:48
Haven't posted for a while but totally agree with Keano - well said sir. Can imagine this dividing supporters opinion....
I was sat in the front row of the Sir Bob Upper on Saturday and couldn't believe the couple of old f#rts sat behind me who didn't shut up the whole game. I will not be sitting in that seat again! 2 minutes in and the first misplaced pass and they were straight on the players backs, shouting at the young players like Smith & Hyam saying they are F'ing useless.
We are in the play-offs FFS after a tough start, and yes should be beating teams like Cov at home but we have a young team and after last year just support the boys and the team. I agree I would like to see 4-4-2 at home and more goals, but I will always get behind the lads - and for the old couple of men behind me who would probably bang on about how long they have supported town - you don't, not from what I heard Saturday anyway.... They were even slating Connor when he came on saying he should be sold. The bit that summed it up for me was when one said to the other "I think they have done enough to be boo'ed off today, shall we?".
And we wonder why there is no atmosphere at PR!!! |

Comment | Town Begin Season At Middlesbrough
at 09:11:43
Pretty tough start & first couple of months but will be a tough season. Lets hope we get off to a flyer to make up for last season. Good start against some of the first teams we face and we'll be well on our way!
Lets hope for some new faces in July and that they can gel in time for the start of the season
