Comment | Luongo and Burgess in Australia Squad
at 15:21:41
Agree with heavyweight. The NUMBER of Town players now featuring in different international squads, travelling, training, playing, suffering injuries, disappointments, during the international breaks is something new. Could this be leading to the hints of staleness, exhaustion (including mental exhaustion) that we've seen in the last couple of games? |

Comment | Pint For the Punch Campaign Close to £2,000

And thank YOU, Lawman10. I'm stumped, too. As you say, collective notes/letters can difficult to organise. I like the idea of Town adopting a foal, paerhaps. Might 'back channel chats' be a way forward? Any thoughts, Phil? |

Aye. I go along with the line that TheLawman, SamWhite and trncbluearmy are taking. Mind you, with pegasus as a username I'm bound to, aren't I? There is no doubt that Mark Ashton understands the Ipswich Town and the wider town and county communities. The Suffolk Punch is important at so many levels. Coming out and supporting the Trust would tick a lot of historical, community and cultural boxes. |

Comment | Donacien Not Surprised By Start But Only Looking to the Next Game
at 19:03:14
These guys are 'on message', sure, but they are so ARTICULATE with it! I learn a little bit more about the player each time one of them speaks, about the club and about the type of football that's being played. I've followed the Town since the early 1950s, and they're now giving me the joy that I experienced when they were being managed by Alf Ramsey and Bobby Robson. What joy that is. |

Comment | More Than 40,000 Set to Watch Season Opener
at 13:46:57
I'm a Scotland-based Town supporter of old and having no Season Ticket for Portman Road, or any 'Away Priority Points', all the Town tickets had gone before I could apply. I have, however, managed to secure one of the few remaining 35000(+) tickets from the Sunderland site. I shall. of course, be scarfless, and biting my tongue. |

Comment | Port Vale Sack Boss Clarke
at 19:23:38
Reading this line in the report - 'unimaginably difficult period in his life' - I did some research. It clearly has been. You cannot know the full story, of course, but I wonder if a a period of 'leave of absence' rather than the sack might have been more appropriate in Darrell's case. I hope he's getting a lot of support from the League managers' association.

Comment | Darlow: Immensely Proud of Every Single One of Them
at 09:55:00
Watched much of the match via the FA link (thank you twtd for giving that). Interview reveals so much about the man, the club, the team - all positive. And it raises issues that I've not thought about before. If there are sendings off, extra time and penalties, which under the laws of the game and this competition's rules are to be expected, it surely has an effect on the mental and physical health of lads who are still growing. Darlow is right. These matters should be looked at. |

Comment | Former Town Assistant Chung Dies

A sad day. Good to see that Sammy gets a proper obituary in this report. A very old friend played with Sammy in the Reading days, and remembered his as reliable and witty, just the sort of guy you'd want on your team, he said. It's clear that Sammy put a huge amount into the game and was continuing to work with and for youngsters until illness took hold. R.I.P. Sammy |

Comment | Chambers: Everything's Set Up For Town to Be Successful Now
at 19:31:06
An honourable man. Had to shoulder a lot of responsibility when he was here; never whinged, never whinges. He deserves, and I hope he gets, a warm welcome this evening. I hope he finds a way to contribute to the game when his retirement comes. |

Comment | Walton: Everyone’s Belief Now is Top Six
at 11:55:57
What an intelligent and articiulate young man! I wonder if the 'meetings as units' is a new development. My guess is yes. And it really does seem to be working in defence. Realistic about 'consistency', too - "Consistency's massive but you're only a minute away from getting someone injured or sent off', enables him to talk about the overall strength of the squad. I'm even more optimistic about the future after reading this. |

Comment | Dobra Strike Fantastic, Simpson Denied Hat-Trick
at 12:33:05
Great for these guys. Congratulations all round. Re: Drinan. He put in some good performances for Ayr when he was on loan up here. Delighted that he's getting time on the park and scoring goals. Just shows you how management, styles, changes of teammates can alter a player's chances. Look at Donacien, for instance. Last year I'd have said he was a poor purchase, nothing to contribute, etc. This year, he's a revelation. My 'Player of the Season' so far.

Comment | Judge: Town Spell Didn't Work Out As I Wanted It To
at 17:45:58
I too wish Alan all the best for the future. I'd have voted for him as 'Player of the Year', if that had been possible. His statement is warm and revealing, just as Luke Chambers' was. They both mentioned family, and the impact that Covid-19 has had on the game, clubs, and players over the last 16 months/season-and-a-half. I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for Alan - his daughter's operations and time in hospital, his mother's illness and death. He seems to me (as does Luke Chambers) to be a strong, decent man. I hope the men who will replace them at Portman Road are similar characters. |
