I Can’t See You Any More - Husker Du

Fell In Love With A Girl - The White Stripes

I know nothing about him other that his Birmingham team played well against us in the game at AG earlier this season.

The squad is good enough???? But it’s obviously not because it is wafer thin and we sold Scott without using any of the money to fill that gap. That interview gives no justifiable explanation as to why the decision was made to remove NP as manager.

I usually feel sad when a manager goes (Pulis being the exception - his departure was a cause for celebration). But this is the first time I’ve felt pissed off about it. Usually it’s clear that a tipping point has been reached (losing the players/fans, threat of relegation, abysmal form etc), but that isn’t the case with NP, who still had the backing of players and fans.

I’d be happy if we ended up with Mark Robins - he’s done well at Coventry.

Just heard this news. Horrified. With a wafer thin squad and the number of injuries we’ve got any manager would struggle to get results. Pearson has been treated harshly.

With the number of injured players out I can’t see us getting anything out of this game. Hopefully I’m wrong.

I agree with @spudski, some of our passing and movement is dire. Far too often we struggle to retain the ball and put pressure on ourselves by giving it away in our own half.

She Said - Plan B

He was definitely limping. But I agree that NP didn’t sound happy with him on the radio last night.

I have no idea what’s been going on behind the scenes with Mehmeti, but I always find it odd when a player gets signed and then months later can’t get game time. Mehmeti blew hot and cold last season, but I’m surprised he hasn’t had more game time this season from the beach, especially when we are chasing games. Presumably one reason is that Yeboah, alongside his attacking threat (raw though he is), offers more defensively.

Yes, I thought the same. I drove along West St towards town and there was hardly any traffic.

Frustrating game. I thought we started brightly. Conway should have done better with the header. Then we gave their player far too much room for their goal and were second best for the rest of the first half. Far too often they had space in the middle and yet again we put ourselves under pressure with poor passing. Second half we improved and Cornick made a difference. We did enough to get a draw. Ipswich played well as a unit and were clearly but based on tonight’s game they were nothing special and will fall away. But when we played Luton at home last season I thought they looked like a relegation team and got promoted, so what do I know.

Glad to see Knight is starting. But I fear this makeshift side used up some luck on Saturday and we’ll struggle to get anything from tonight’s game.

They were very vociferous in the first half, but I agree that after we scored they went quiet.

RIP Bobby. A truly iconic footballer.

Football can be mad. After leaving the ground baffled by how we lost to Stoke, today it was equally baffling as to how we weren’t a few goals down within the first half hour. Second half we were much better (although we always seem to invite pressure in the last 10 mins) and a toothless Coventry side ran out of ideas. Overall, considering our injury problems it was an excellent win.
