As a supporter of a club. It doesnt mean that you have to go along with everything the tossers who both own and run it say and withhold all critical faculty and any form of standards. When these idiots try and spin everything, there tends to be 2 different sides. We offered them as much as we possibly could - you can either say ok fair enough. Or ask why none of them were willing to sign within that structure, why is the structure so low, why cant we offer competitive wages, what is the pattern, why cant we even sign domestic players When we sign Baradji on loan who is injured for months - you can either say yeah that is good business. Or ask why we are replacing our captain with a bloke on loan who is out for ages injured, is that wise? When Gestede suggests that we are covered by the signing of Miller at centre back - we can either accept it, no questions. Or ask why he signed as soon as Brittain left, why he was signed as right back, why has he never/barely played as a centre back in a 4 before, what would have happened if we had kept Hyam When they say the squad is better but not suggest that we will finish higher - you can either say yeah ok, hard league, need patience, or ask why they think its better? Are they trying to con us by understating the quality of those lost? My advice. Dont just take the propaganda at face value. Question it.

I think it's safe to say Lewis Miller is a right back, who can play centre back, which in reality isn't what we needed to replace Hyam. At this level, I'd rather my centre backs were centre backs... Particularly given how often the ball is in the air. The problem will be visible in about 10 - 15 games time, despite what Rudy Gestede thinks.

That 'performance' from Ben Godfrey for Sheff Utd was so bad it rivalled Shane Duffy at Cardiff and Dom Hyam at Bristol.

A win is papering over the cracks. Shall we forget about how our club has been destroyed because of a win?

We’ve made £50M from player sales in the last 20 months. Sick of this “we can’t afford” nonsense, we’ll continue to see more players leave and hear “how can we compete with the Bolton and Plymouth’s of this world”

Many thanks for your kinds words, sir ! My heart breaks for your wife, my Dad never quite got to that point ... but I shall carry to my grave the look on my son's face, when we visited Dad during his last hospital stay, about 3 weeks before his passing. He looked around the 6 Bay ward, " I think we're in the wrong bay, Dad " ... I gently took my son's arm, " He's here, love " ... he'd been working away for 5 weeks, and didn't recognise him ... You lose them twice with Vascular Dementia, firstly the person, character etc that you knew, and then their eventual physical passing ... Sending love and best wishes to you and yours .. SC XX

I'm sure there was a season more recently than that where they were both in third tier, maybe around 2012/13?

Probably 79/80

Yes. Because winning a game does not solve the inherent sickness that sits atop our club and has infected it to its very core. You're just happy to ignore it.

You would moan and complain about anything to do with your club you support!!! If we won tomorrow you still find something to moan or complain about wouldn't you!

It's got worse since my last post, no exaggeration to say this should be 7 or 8 here for Ipswich.

You would literally defend pretty much anything the club do, wouldnt you?

Not very high quality but it took 7 or 8 minutes. I'm sure there are creative types out there who could do better. The sentiment is right if nothing else.

When was the last Sheffield derby in the third division ?

Genuinely impressive how Selles has utterly ruined Sheff Utd so fast.

Who plays centre back for his country? I dont know how good he is as a centre back

A right back replacing an established 3 million pound centre back at his peak who didn't miss a game all last season and has got into the International squad himself ? Yes great planning.

One thing I have taken away from all our games this season, is the thought of "how did he miss that ". A few players have contributed to that thought.

Venkys

Average is somewhat meaningless in a division so heavily skewed by a handful of clubs on parachute payments paying whopping salaries. Vs median would be a better measure.

Ipswich cruising here against Sheff Utd. 58 minutes and the blades have just had their first shot on target, a very tame effort. Not looking forward to seeing Philogene at Ewood in the near future, he's gonna have a field day. Edit - Three nil to Ipswich as I go to click post. Wonder what happens with Selles, looks like a nightmare appointment .

Sorry to hear that sc. My mother in law passed this April, she had vascular dementia and was in a care home in Whalley . Although it was a horrible thing in general the worst part was my wife taking the kids to see her one day and her mum asking who they were which absolutely destroyed my wife. Take care

Sadly, I think we'll lose narrowly tomorrow. Probably 1-0 or 2-1. Watford aren't very good, but our inexperienced, injury prone, cobbled-together defence has me expecting the worst. While I've been very unimpressed with our opening 5 matches, the defence wasn't so much the main worry in going into those 5 matches, it was the other end of the pitch. We've looked very tame in attack aside from the Hull match, because we don't have a proper striker at the club besides Ohashi. Hyam leaving last minute and McLoughlin out will have me watching from behind the sofa. Who am I kidding? Wharton and Carter to stay injury free and play a blinder, 0-4 Rovers (Gueye x4) Venkys, Suhail and Rudy out.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I think you always think that your parents will be around forever, it hits hard when you lose one. I lost my dad a few years back and it was harder than I ever imagined it would be. It sounds like she's had an incredibly positive impact on you and your family, which is great to hear. Condolences to your and your family.

cos you will have to let the new overseas signings settle and learn how this league is played. patience is needed or we aren't willing to pay more than we can afford and budget for? we have wage budget and we offered them the best contracts we could. They didn't sign them and we sold Travis and Brittain. Hyam I would keep cos how late in the window. We haven't let Lenihan or Rothwell situation happened again what lack of numbers? don't we in terms of numbers 2 players for every position? is this true of not? not talking quality cos that the question mark until we see more of these new signings? isn't Miller a full international player for Australia who is regular for them?
