Two league cup games in 2017-18 under McCarthy (and two in the league at the end of the season under Klug). Was subbed on at half time for Donacien against Blackburn on the first day of the 2018-19 season, being loaned to Swindon for the rest of the season the following day. [Post edited 2 Sep 8:05]

Ipswich no longer have any players to have played under Mick McCarthy or Paul Hurst, and leaves Elkan Baggott as the last man standing of the Paul Lambert regime (a single Papa John's trophy appearance in 2020-21). |

More strange is at centre-half for me. Harry Maguire is obviously better than Dan Burn. For years he and John Stones have been a superb centre-half pairing for England. I'll be disappointed if he's not picked for the World Cup. |

Most stonewall penalty I've seen in ages haha, he practically palmed it away. If that's not a penalty then there is something seriously wrong with the laws of the game. |

Reply | Who do you rate the worst keeper over the years
at 21:48 4 Aug 2025
Yeah if I recall correctly Lee-Barrett was brought in following the sudden retirement of Shane Supple, leaving us scrambling for a back up keeper with Richard Wright the only senior keeper on the books. With Asmir Begovic later prematurely recalled from his loan spell and Wright suffering a long-term injury vs Cardiff, ALB was thrust into the No. 1 role with youth team keeper McCloughlan (sic?) on the bench. We signed Brian Murphy in the January of 2010, who I believe got injured in the warm up before his intended debut, leaving ALB between the sticks for another couple of months, before he eventually returning to the bench following Murphy's recovery, though he did remain at the club for three further seasons, making sporadic runs in the side throughout.

Except for the obvious fact that we don't play it out from the back anywhere near as well with O'Shea in the team. |

Didn't see anything in Cambridge. Convenient that they chose the day this weekend with very few football matches to attend, strikingly similar to the riots last summer which mysteriously ceased once the football season restarted. |

Maybe a little late to the thread, but as a Gen Z man, I wanted to chip in.
I completely agree with your point that sportsmen have a crucial role to play as role models for boys, and can speak from experience. For me, as someone growing up in the 2000s and the 2010s, my first role model beyond family members (who were also excellent role models), was Lewis Hamilton, around the years he was driving for McLaren, years during which I was attending primary school. I was also Ipswich-mad during these years but players like Michael Chopra and Lee Bowyer, who were Town players around this time, are hardly figures to emulate for children. For me, Lewis Hamilton was, and continues to be, an excellent example of healthy masculinity, and in obsessively watching the Grand Prix every weekend, I discovered someone I wanted to emulate. Yes, he could be petulant (albeit more in a manner of wearing one's heart on their sleeve as opposed to arrogance), but he was also exceptionally gifted at his craft, I found him very cool, he was clearly a hard worker, and has always been unafraid to speak out on social issues. In Lewis Hamilton, I had an example of a number of positive values that I could take on board as a young man. Sportsmen today should be looking to project the same values.
I admit that I grew up in what I consider to be excellent circumstances, with very supportive parents, and in rural Suffolk, but I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and went to a state school, so was ultimately growing up as normally as anyone. I will soon go on to hold a masters degree from the University of Cambridge, in addition to my first-class undergraduate degree, and have secured a graduate role at a very prestigious firm in London, and have clearly defined ambitions going forward that I know I can achieve. I am also very happily in a three year relationship with my girlfriend. Essentially, I have been able to achieve everything that online grifters claim has been made impossible for young white men. Part of my drive to succeed was from positive male role models as a child. Sportsmen can be key to this. |

China produce and process the majority of Rare Earth Elements so I'm sceptical of the notion that the US have no interest in China or Asia, especially as these elements are absolutely central to tech, the business leaders of which have aligned and positioned themselves close to the US President. |

I hope it goes through, I want to see Britain actually build something. There's always something stopping us doing it. HS2 should have gone to it's original destinations, we could have afforded it if we'd just told the home counties constituencies to get stuffed and not had to faf around with digging tunnels. Crossrail is fab. Every other country does ambitious infrastructure projects but us and I'm bored of it always being 'oh but the wildlife/my view/the taxpayer'. Some of these criticisms are legitimate but when its every single time it does get old. |

Long shot but is anyone driving down to London from Suffolk on Boxing Day and has a space in their car? Ideally in the morning. Picking someone up from Heathrow but obvs the trains aren't running. Just need to get to somewhere with a tube stop. Willing to cover a share of petrol. Thanks in advance. |

Mark Chapman or Gabby Logan surely. Both have been excellent presenters for several years now across a number of sports and both are more than qualified for the top sports gig at the Beeb. |
