Seems a decent game, I was going to watch that but plumped for the PNE game instead. QPR making a fist of it now 2-0 up at Blackburn.

3-0 dangerous score line... Keiffer Moore on. All Ipswich 2nd half, PNE literally not got out of their own half.

They may well think that, but unfortunately it aint gonna happen. Unless they have about 30m to spend. I hope they don't come out with that guff at the start of next season- I wouldn't put it past them.

Playing in the 10 role. From their forum; "Stokes will be benched soon, doesn't seem the same last 4 games since Bristol City move."

Yep - just the one. PNE 3-0 Ipswich

PNE beating Ipswich 2-0 at the moment. Ipswich down to 4th - won 1 in last 6 as it stands.

Its also flipping obvious that most of those were short term options and they would be gone at the end of this season regardless of who is manager. Grooming King as a coach was a bit sentimental on NPs part imo. Players can be young and have played 200+ times at a commensurate level, they are experienced players in their own right. Quite obvious that King (moving home to Leicester according to his Mrs.), Weimann (home to Solihull), and unfortunately James, will be gone at the end of the season. Tinnion bigged up Williams so he maybe stays if the contract is right for him. New era. Again.

If having Twine in the team can get the team used to playing with his type of player (nominally a 10), if not him, then all well and good for next season.

Maybe you should have listened to it. They want Twine and will try to get him in the summer. As for BTs interview, it was a very interview and a good insight into what they are thinking. BT is very open and enthusiastic, maybe a bit too open as @GrahamC alluded earlier in the thread, but at least he answers the questions. He made it extremely clear that a number 9 is the primary target (could be from abroad) with a 10 as well if Twine doesn't sign - not sure how that is meant to encourage Conway to sign a contract. The money is available with percentages from the Scott and Semenyo transfers. Maybe he should be a bit more circumspect in what he says, but its welcome info all the same.

I think that is a wake up call to the club. It was crap from the players and the manager. Really, really, disappointed. 0-1 was a great result for us as it turned out. I'll leave it there and reflect tomorrow.

Definitely sharper. Crisp passing - to their own players.

This is ******* awful. Embarrassing.

We and them deserve that. Could be a few more if we persist with this rabble of a set up. Should be two, how did he not score that ?

We've made it very easy for Leeds, we should be behind and lucky we aren't. Manning rightfully looks annoyed, can't string two passes together. Outnumbered in midfield, Vyner and Tanner awful. Down to Manning now to regroup, make changes, and get at them second half.

Two up front, overrun in midfield. Hopefully sorted out at HT.

Inevitable that we'll concede soon. Absolute shite so far.

Just a pass to one of our own players would be good..

They should do that for every game where there are less than 2k away supporters. Stand holds around 4k so plenty of room.

Agreed, I just hope he is ready for the Championship.

The reasoning has been documented numerous times in this thread.

Dunno how many loanees they have, but the max is 5 last time I checked. They had about 7 every season under the convicted little thug.

Dunno, I suppose it depends on the contract. But it may not be easy for him.

It is a bit weird from them. They have put a positive spin on it by saying they got a better fee now than they would get in the summer and are still keeping the player till the summer. Effectively saying they've had our pants down (after saying earlier that there was no way they would let him go). But they've also dumped on the player by effectively saying he doesn't want to be there. First mistake he makes, the fans will be on his back..

Clubs have an extra 2 hours to complete the paperwork for deals which have been agreed and notified.

22:59JAMES PIERCY Probably need to talk about deal sheets 11pm is almost upon us and clubs can apply for Deal Sheets with the EFL if they're running out of time to complete a transfer. Once the sheet arrives, with confirmation an agreement has been reached, clubs have got another two hours, or until 01:00, in which to submit the full paperwork.
