Not allowed till the efl decide the outcome

You can't really think that's an option surely? Travel from Ipswich to play 10 minutes of football, with 10 men? It won't be the FA whi decide either will it, surely its the EFL?

United pitch isn't even comparable to ours, at this point anyway.

My take on it is yes that pitch was in a shocking state come 79 minutes. If it was like that at kick off it never starts, if it was like that at half time, probably call it a do. There were 10 minutes left though and I've seen games completed on worse because logic was applied. Reminds me a bit of the pitch at Donny when we sealed promotion. The pitch was pretty much the same then on 80 mins, anyone who went on it after will definitely agree! However the ref acknowledged it was heading to the end of the season and would have caused real issues to abandon it. If it would have been 11 v 11 and Ipswich were well on top, fair enough, that was not the case though.

I wonder if the EFL can find a way to punish us here for not having an adequate pitch 🤣 that's more likely than them giving us a win, they never favour us.

I think we might just get away with it because it was a nice day yesterday. I've just been out in it and whilst it's persistent, it's not exactly hammering it down with torrential rain. It would be rather embarrassing if we couldn't cope with this unless it gets a lot worse out there.

Yeah although I don't know for certain the reason, I hope it's not a full blown injury and they're just handling him carefully, but it's a full week since he played and after a clean sheet last time round to me it would be odd to change it unless absolutely necessary.....could be that Miller has been on fire in training and VI thinks he warrants a start I guess.

Seems Miller for Carter the only change apparently, guess we'll see how good he is as it'll be a stern test..

Did you see Parkers interview? He seems astounded that handball would be given when the hand is in an unnatural position and said its something they'd have to work on going forward, like its a new thing. Suppose he couldn't really come out and say Hannibal is a tool though, which is the reality....

The dingle booing just summed them up, fair enough dodgy decisions do happen over the course of a season, the penalty decision wasn't one. Absolutely blatant. They're wanking on about their defensive performance but is that really what they want all season, to be "entertained" sticking everyone behind the ball all game. Suppose the money makes it easier to take like.

Didn’t watch today due to family commitments but pleasing to read Gudjohnsen did well especially. Also Wharton doing so well and ultimately getting the full game under his belt. He’s now an experienced centre half as he said in his interview it just so worrying that every game we must pray him and Carter don’t get injured. Both players are certainly due some good luck injury wise, is it all luck though or do they need Paul McGrath style training regimes 🤨 Really worrying Tronny came off at his request although VI played it down, he’s so crucial to us and it’s hurting he won’t be here much longer. Tavares worries me although we can only hope he’s a slow burner and adapting still.

Well that's completely fucked it, thanks Mercer. Good to see Morishita getting a start today, in a grim transfer window he's pretty much the only potentially exciting addition for me. Yuki up top on his own not ideal but suppose we'll ease Gudjohnsen in. Hedges needs to replicate his previous goal and Carter needs to stay fit, not much to ask for. Going for 1-1.

As above, still applies

And? He's more ability in his penis than Mr Offside

Gueye out, Connor Wickham in? I'd take that

Quite possibly yes? He's not originally from that area (he's from Rochdale), no idea where he currently lives though but think he's married with kids so might be at the stage of his life where he doesn't fancy much of a commute to work. I certainly wouldn't be trotting down the M6 every day no matter what the wage was!

Also Connor Wickham scored a worldie goal today playing for the 'unattached 11', his name will be banded about and linked to skin flints like us in the next week or so

Suggested Dawson pretty much as soon as Hyam was out the door, I'd like it to be true but could also just be Nixon putting 2 and 2 together for a story....

How many players have we even got out on loan currently? It could actually be a useful role for us if it's an area we look to grow, not sure what makes Rhodes qualified for the role though like, suppose he will have reasonable contacts within the game.

Dawson would be pick of the bunch but could he serious be arsed dropping from over 40k a week to 10k for this crackpot regime? Only thing potentially in our favour is him being a northern chap, although not sure he still lives in the area. Unless Umtiti fancies it 😒

Not sure that's actually him replying is it....

Do you seriously think they have a clue what type of meat is being served at the STC? Come off it. Rudy is clearly pretty much being left to do as he pleases and the only person who is going to over-rule him (in theory) is Suhail 🤣. Its essentially like having a toddler babysitting a newborn.

Believe they also have to pay now or at least contribute. Decisions like that in my experience usually point towards a business going bust, but in our case its possibly just Rudy being a cunt.

More likely to get us branded ungrateful Blackburn fans after the club made 10 signings, which were gonna hear mentioned constantly by some twat like Clinton Morrison.

Craig Dawson?
