Not sure.. Nige had the opportunity to bring one of them on on Weds but didn’t.. perhaps young James at left back is considered less of a risk?

SL better pull his finger out quick otherwise Nige could have his head turned..

If Ipswich would have been playing a midfielder as centre half, an attacking winger as a full back and then having to switch their left back into the middle of the back four as well as having to sub a sub through another flaming injury then perhaps they would have struggled more than they did. BTW, I honestly thought we were worth a point.. given our plight and their momentum coming into this game I thought we did OK.

Not sure Ipswich were as hamstrung with injuries as us… Wells, Williams, Vyner, Naismith and Tanner would have all likely been playing if fit. That’s literally half the outfield team.

Surely it would have to be Claudio Ranieri?

Yea I know.. it just felt a bit sad and a bit more real when the BBC themselves said that they contacted the club but got a ‘no comment’

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67204097 it gets worse…

On a lighter note, I bet Steve will have a face like a slapped arse when Mark Ashton rocks up to share a bottle of Chardonnay tomorrow

Jeeez… in your earlier post you said that whilst voting ‘no’ you were apathetic about it and suggested that there would definitely be some positives if Nige stayed.. what positives were you referring to?

For the fantastic work Nige has done to date in my opinion he absolutely deserves a new contract, and on improved terms. However, we don’t know what we don’t know. If for example he’s bailed SL up in front of others and called him an ostrich for the way he handled the Alex Scott transfer, then in reality he has to go… If SL genuinely believes or is concerned that Nige’s ongoing health issues could impact his ability to adequately perform his duties in the future then again, he probably has to go before things could potentially turn messy. We’ll never really know all what goes on behind the scenes, but from the outside if it was a case of one or the other then I’m with Nige.

*******.. they boo in mass against the monarchy when they are in a rare public sporting spotlight and then vote in mass when in their private seclusion at a referendum to remain as part on the UK..

https://www.bcfc.co.uk/video/interviews/it-doesnt-get-better-than-that-conway/ Probably the best OS interview that I’ve seen… bloody brilliant.

If ever a game needed to be pixelated..

I think Bell and Conway are in the same basket as Pring and Vyner.. very good championship players but nowhere near good enough for the premier league. Unlike Alex Scott who clearly was good enough for the EPL why wouldn’t they sign their new contracts? TC for example could run his contract down and end up at somewhere like Coventry or even worse the SPL.. why would he? Their best chance of getting to the promised land is probably with us as long as we retain our manager.

Not too bad according to the BBC.. Championship: Birmingham v QPR - entertaining game ends goalless

TBF, I think that the Lansdowns are probably still waiting to get the nod of approval from Top Robin… could easily roll on to the summer if at all…

Nige looking and sounding really upbeat on the RTV pre match interview ??. Suggested we might possibly get to see young Nelson too… “terrifying them down the right hand side”. 2-1 to us. COYR’s

I’ll take the place of uncle Steve here. Of course I’ll **** it up, it’s what I do..

I don’t think that he’s desperate for a sale.. for example he’s younger than Roy Hodgson and our ol mate Neil Warnock who both have really stressful jobs compared to his lot. I don’t get the impression that he’s spending too much of his personal energy on us at the moment and I reckon Steve’s mantra of ‘build it and they will come’ still holds..

Great report and player ratings, although I’d have given Matty James at least an 8… I thought he, (along with Sykes and Williams) was outstanding.

WSM… Williams, Sykes and Matty ???

Thought Nige both looked and sounded quite upbeat in the interview on RTV.. Maybe the worlds not imploding after all.. Fingers crossed for another Hull type away performance. COYR’s

Well, at most clubs…

It would have been classier if he’d had signed on the first day of the transfer window and not an hour or two before the end of the last day… but good news.

Hope we don’t get relegated! Cheeky bugger, see you next season…??
