Quick enough to make up for mistakes ala Walker too.

Pears dick riders unite. He doesn't make that save.

Normal service resumed - our RB thrown to the ground for their goal, nothing given. Ohashi tripped in their box by their CB, nothing given. Never change, Championship, never change.

Inswinger looks alright. Outswinger was not very good.

That he saved?

Lots of talk for Toth to be fired into the sun. Bar one bad chipped pass what has he done wrong?

That's Ohashi for you - nothing sticks to him.

Cos he hasn't been booked yet?

Nice foul for their goal.

Which channel?

I mean we'll know by the time October hits, but by the highlights I think he'll be a goal threat.

He's at the ground: I'm sure Ismael has a plan for his inclusion in the team.

M-Matthews on the bench is the stuff of nightmares.

Ipswich made a mistake last year and bought a really good Championship team rather than PL players. They'll be there for the taking some weeks as although they're very good and have depth, they're still Championship players and prone to the same mistakes as the rest in this division.

On a related note, now that Wednesday's embargo has been lifted I actually think they could be a dark horse. They've lined up two United youngster on loan. I wouldn't be surprised if a whole load of PL Academies dump their players there for a year to get Championship experience. You know they're going to get a lot of football.

Only in the same way that Carter can play RB. He's not first choice at it, but over the grind of the season it's nice to have that flexibility in your squad. If Alebiosu can't start a few games then he's not worth his wages.

Until the next wave of Academy graduates are blooded that's how it'll stay - English players are expensive and they don't seem to want to take punts on players like O'Riordan (who might yet still develop into an excellent Championship player) from the lower leagues.

The team that many thought was taking us down last year? It's a roll of the dice each season with these owners / the clowns they put in charge. Who the hell knows how good the players they've brought in are. Who knows whether Weimann and Batth will fall off a cliff this season. If those players listed leave they have to be replaced - if they leave and aren't then we're in serious trouble.

The club captain clearly isn't going to be here next season and the #10 has flattered to deceive in a Rovers shirt. Both good players that I'd prefer to keep, but honestly I wouldn't lose sleep over any member of this squad leaving - they're all cloggers. They do, however, need to be replaced if they leave.

On the face of it, not too bothered about any of these players leaving for the right price. I hope they're "unexpected" transfers though as that's half our squad. They'd need replacing.

I think that Szmodics season was just the perfect storm. At his peak athletically, given a free role to just find space and score goals (a bit like Armstrong) and he hit a rich vein of form (that seemed to never end). It was the right time to sell him - he'll never hit those heights again.

But we continue to tighten our belts. Why would we pay wages and a loan fee (several hundred £s) to develop someone else's player? They're not going to be the missing piece to fire us into the PL so it's literally setting fire to money.

Expecting Cantwell to chip in with a few more and Henriksson to score. RW has to score and create - Ohashi and Gueye can't create chances out of thin air.

Quite a few players who need loans / should be nowhere near a Championship squad (Batty, M-M) have got squad numbers. Duru seems to have really fallen out of favour. Pretty much gone from "next man up" to us playing a CM over him and buying two new RBs.

On the same day the supporters group have once again called for the Rao family to hand ownership of the club to another party. Couldn't make it up.
