DE.

I just can't see it. With the amount of time left and the score being 1-0, there was still a chance of them scraping a draw at least. Unlikely perhaps being down to 10, but nowhere near impossible. The problem is there's no truly fair and logistically reasonable way to proceed. It's going to be unfair to somebody no matter what, so they'll look at historical precedents and what the decision would mean for similar situations in the future. I think they'll mandate a replayed match, unfortunately.

Six defeats in a row for Sheff Utd, losing today at home to Charlton and failing to score. They are in real trouble.

There's no way I can see anything other than a replay. With injury time there still could have been 15 minutes or more left, at a 1-0 scoreline. Can't see how that would qualify to give us the result, unfortunately.

Instead of celebrating they should have been sitting in the dressing room being told they've had a massive let off and need to improve immediately. They've spent more on a single player than our entire squad cost.

Would be nice for the EFL to look at that and say due to their conduct, result stands and no replay. They won't, but still. I wouldn't be thrilled as an Ipswich fan if the team were celebrating a match abandonment. Total loser's mentality.

If there were financial penalties they'd do something about it.

Ipswich getting a real life version of rage quitting an FM match and reloading the game.

As far as I can see you have to go down to Rochdale in the National League to find another game suspended/postponed, so was the weather around Ewood just locally apocalyptic compared to the rest of the country, or is Ewood just so poorly maintained that we're at National League level?

It would be insanely unfair to replay the match when Ipswich have been down to 10 for almost the entire second half.

Probably before I was born. Even pre Venky's red cards seemed to make things more difficult for us as opposed to easier. Portsmouth losing 2-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday, lol. Yeah I think we're going to be alright.

I think if I was McKenna I would have started Szmodics. Playing against a former club should theoretically be a strong motivator.

I assumed he was injured. Is he just not in the squad?

Always felt like JDT's attitude was 'this is what I told you I would do, this is the project you said you'd support. If you choose not to do so, the consequences are on you, and I'm not changing my ways to compromise." Some of that would have been fuelled by the fact he offered to leave in the summer and was forced to stay. He was essentially telling them this won't work, but the geniuses in charge decided to keep on going anyway.

It'll be interesting to see how long Wrexham's owners give Parkinson if results don't improve. He could quite rightly say he needs time to adjust to so many new players, as the squad themselves have to gel, but one imagines if they're struggling towards the lower end by mid-November there may be some movement.

Very early days yet. Some of the signings look promising, others don't, but it's a long old season. The only player I think looks very poor is De Neve. Alebiosu is the one I've been most impressed by so far. Morishita has the potential to be a great pickup. The rest, we'll see. The big test will come when we get a few injuries and/or suspensions, as will inevitably happen. I don't think there's a need to rush and credit (or discredit) Gestede yet, as there's still a long way to go.

I agree, yet they are top with 4 wins out of 4, having already beaten Arsenal and Newcastle. If they get into their stride it's going to be another cakewalk for them this season. How did the rest of the division fall so far behind?

By the sounds of it he left on good terms, and he's obviously a Sheff Utd man, so from his pov he got a nicely paid holiday and likely a decent raise to return. Less pressure on him to get promotion now too, as he's got to try and clear up the mess that's been left behind. Ultimately it's the owners who will have egg on their face no matter what happens.

Mowbray's last gig saw him take a WBA side in contention for playoffs and get sacked three months later with it being all but impossible for them to get into the top six. We repeatedly saw him do this with us as well. He did well during his first season Sunderland but that aside, I don't think he's the man to appoint if you're looking to get into the playoffs, let alone get promoted. On recent evidence Wilder is a smarter choice, especially as he knows the club extremely well. If Sheff Utd's goal was simply to stablise and finish top half/mid table then yes, Mowbray would be an OK appointment.

What a colossal waste of money that was. Still, Selles had one of the worst starts I think I've ever seen at a club that was supposed to be in the promotion picture. After Friday's debacle they didn't have much choice. Wilder is the obvious choice to stabilise things, as by all accounts he left on good terms and has essentially been on a well paid break for a few months.

Because it's funny watching it unfold, of course.

Will be nice for Ismael to get one over on his old employers!

Always good to win away from home. Three welcome points.

Another miserable day for Russell Martin's Rangers. Can't be long before he gets the boot at this point, unfortunately.

Think our first 11 will be good enough to keep our heads above water. Problem is going to be when injuries hit, as it is every season.
