The game’s like Rugby League now. It’s not just about your starting 11 it’s about who you can bring on off the bench to change the direction of the match. As we found out on Friday night.

Smart enough to be loaded.

If they were that smart they wouldn’t be looking at Sammi.

I’d agree with that. I can’t see him being a starter for Ipswich at Premier League level. Maybe they’re thinking of being back in the championship this time next year.

I’m amazed. He always looks like the sort of player that’s playing within himself to me.

Or Sammi plays, gets a double hat trick and Barcelona come in for him.

Has Hedges ever been properly fit in his time at Ewood ? Somehow I doubt it.

They’d be doing that anyway. I expect Baath or MacFad will cope with the high ball.

Cue the rumours he’s been seen at Manchester Airport.

Sammi looked quick enough at Leicester last season. And that was with both legs strapped.

And we thought our defence was bad. QPR look like a pub team. I don’t think the issue with Maja was doubts about his playing ability. The concerns were over his ability to stay fit.

Mowbray never cured Lenihan’s failings. He was drawn to the ball far too easily for a centre half when he first played there and he was just as bad when he left. He also never got more than half an hour per game out of Rothwell. Armstrong became a greedy player when he got established and nothing changed there. Contrast him with Sammi who scores goals and makes goals for other players. Brererton was an enigma we should have never signed in the first place.

Especially with us letting Garrett go on loan.

I wish.

Never mind our top scorer, he was THE top scorer.

We all know the script by now. He’ll be sold when “ it’s too late to sign a replacement.”

It was certainly needed. You can’t go around giving yellow cards away for no good reason. He needs to have the same word with Buckley. He’s another culprit.

I don’t think there are many “ commanding. Keeper’s “ these days. The game has changed. Packed penalty areas with every outfield player in the box bar the guy taking the corner kick have made “ commanding ” the area much more difficult. You can’t barge your way through to pluck the ball out of the air like the old keepers did. Get two of our smaller forwards on either wing of the half way line when we are defending corners and see how the opposition reacts.

Who’s going to pay a fee for Siggy ?

Maybe Eustace has had a word with him.

I thought that. Brittain appeared to duck out of clearing the ball in at the last minute.

I think they probably don’t know we played last night yet.

Some players get you on top in a game and some players can murder the opposition when the first group of players have got you on top. Buckley and Siggy are in the second group.

JDT had his good points. But we never won the crunch matches with him in charge.
