Yeah, not a spectacle by any stretch. I'd say Birmingham look better than Ipswich though. Early days but people expecting Ipswich to go straight back up, not looking to hopeful based on this.

I think that Szmodics season was just the perfect storm. At his peak athletically, given a free role to just find space and score goals (a bit like Armstrong) and he hit a rich vein of form (that seemed to never end). It was the right time to sell him - he'll never hit those heights again.

Birmingham ahead

Love Travis, feel like there's a connection between him and the fans- academy lad, captain, all-round shithouse! Offer him a proper contract you and get him tied down! However, if he leaves us for Derby he can absolutely get fuck*d as far as I'm concerned. I've never been keen on Derby, even less so after recent events- hope they have a dreadful season!

Like watching paint dry.

That was Joni Mitchell first.

Sammie missed a shot he would have buried for us.

Absolutely fecking galling isn't it...taking the piss out of us all.😠

If its fine why the sly dig again RF99? I gave you possible situation regarding Leonard and about slowly bringing back to fitness. That's was all. Time to calm down Yet again obsessing over this and has nothing to back it up, so what evidence that Ismael hasn't got everything he wants or is unhappy about the window? You spend far too much time obsessing over things that aren't there. Jackson has said that Gestede and Ismael are aligned, so why keep going on about it time after time, if you some info or evidence of this then "spill the beans" RF99? Already explained all this, if you don't accept the answer but I have answered this question more than once over the summer. The problem is you refused to accept the answer given

The quality hasnt been great thus far though.

Saw pre match interview with Wagner and very impressed. Spoke with clarity, passion and purpose and emphasised importance of relationships with fans and community. In another league to our owners and executive management.

Szmodics missed a very acceptable chance.

It's so obviously generated by AI or something it's untrue. They'd have been better off not bothering. I'd have prefered something genuine from them in their own words whether you could agree with it or not

Agree, but not impressed with either side. Impressed with Alsops delivery. Better not stay too high up the pitch against Brum and risk them just playing above our midfield.

Fast and frantic first half with very little quality. Players constantly diving and a weak referee ruining the game

Not really though. As mentioned JDT didn’t rate him and sent him out on loan. He didn’t play much for Ipswich. had nothing to do with the tits. I was so happy when he came back and we were Together again.

Gotta say if the Brum V Ipswich tempo is going to be the benchmark for this season, then there are going to be some great games and shagged players. Strong squads will be essential.

Cantwell missed the Stanley friendly and the NEC Friendly

Continuing the Janet Jackson theme, it'd also show the tits in charge for what they are

I will be detestated if Travs leaves us. To quote Janet Jackson: You don’t know what you got till it’s gone. Missed him so much when he went on loan during JDT era.

He played most of pre season so if he's not injured, he should be fit. Miller is available and he's been out injured for longer.

I dont think Ismael wants to risk on getting injury against after missing last week pre season friendly

Where is all this getting discuss? Who is reporting it?

Yeah -us apparently.
