You bet money on Rovers to lose??

2-0 Rovers today I reckon! Ipswich haven’t exactly been on fire so far this season aside from beating a shocking Sheff United side. Think Ipswich have decent quality and they will get better as the season goes on but today we bag our first home win of the season 💪🔵⚪️

They are classed as defensive midfielders whose job it is to break up play not attack. Hardly ever get into the box! You don’t need two of those in the same team.

Fantastic win never doubted it! Should go into every game as a fan thinking we can get something from it Some players are going to take time to settle and adapt. Nearly all have come from leagues of a poorer standard than the Championship! I think the criticism from some on here is unjustified. Give them time, judge when we are maybe 1/4 of the way into the season. Sidnei is not Travis (thank god) completely different players. People complained we had two sitting defensive midfielders in Tronstad and Travis so we’ve changed it. Sidnei at least looks like he wants to make a decent pass even if it doesn’t always come off, just needs time.

2-1 Rovers! We will go 2-0 up and concede around the 80th minute. Followed by 10/15 minutes of completely shitting ourselves but hanging on in there for the win 💪🔵⚪️

Hey I suggested Liverpool not Burnley 🤣

Sigh 🙄🙄

Yeah I will give you that one the Baradji deal is very odd and no one seems to know when he can play again but it could work out good (if we ever see him) as he was wanted by clubs higher up than us so he might have something about him but its just something else we all play guessing games on right now. Alebiosu has not been dreadful since he came in, more athletic that Brittain, he has work to do but the signs are good at least

Totally understand what you are saying losing a number of first teamers is not great at all but will they be missed that much. I get they knew each other in terms of playing together and out new crop will take a while to gel so that's a worry but, Batth and Weimann are currently being slated by Derby fans for being tosh, Dolan far to inconsistent and frustrating and was slagged off all season by fans so no wonder he jogged on. Travis was a run around but football wise was very limited, people more bothered about the emotional connection to Travis than his ability. Hyam is a loss but only because of the timing, think given time he could have been replaced. Start of the season has been poor and i think the new signings especially ones we signed at the end of the window need to be in the first 11 quickly and then we can judge. Until then we just don't know if all this is extremely worrying or a stroke of genius

if you scroll back 12 months to the transfer window forum from 2024 the messages on here where exactly the same, rubbish window, relegation is bound to happen, board out etc and then we finished 7th. Exactly the same tone this year. If some of the new signings can hit the ground running I think we can have a pretty decent season, barring a few top teams in the league its not a brilliant Championship in term of quality (like last year) New Japanese lad looks pretty decent and certainly an upgrade on Dolan. If Gudjohnsen can score which it look like he can at international level anyway then there are positive signs of life.

It’s staged every year do the fans on here expect any different 🤷🏻‍♂️ Rudy opened himself up at the end for questions at anytime so why not have someone who will properly challenge him try and arrange a meeting? Instead of just complaining about it on forums?

Don’t think anyone is giving him ‘credit’ as such just actually didn’t expect him to mention the covering of arms topic. Did you really expect him to say “yes I tell people how to dress” I repeat I really don’t know what people expect from these interviews 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not really sure what people were expecting them to say. No company will discuss how much we pay/offer players it’s just not a done thing No evidence we low balled anyone, confirmed there’s a wage cap in place which is understandable in the current climate but I agree if players say they want a move then they are not committed so sell for a fee so not to risk losing on a free. I see nothing wrong with that at all! Is Travis worth let’s say 20 grand a week, 100% not. Thought it was quite brave of Rudy to mention the bullying but we are non the wiser, is it true, is it a disgruntled former employee just out to cause trouble, maybe someone from the ‘non action group’ causing issues either way it doesn’t help the image for the club but people will continue to speculate. Wasn’t a dreadful interview. Good insight into transfers and why sometimes they take time as some folk on here must play Football Manager where you can get transfer done in a day. not bad but not great! Time to concentrate on the football itself

Go support Liverpool yourself whilst you’re at it!

Let’s wait and see drama unfolds in the next seven days first 🤣🤣
