WhistleHappy Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 No ex-skuses for us this weekend then - if we don't win .... or, of course... ...When We Do! ..... C O Y R's !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Gerken's missing as well along with several others, - seems Ipswich may be in a bit of a pickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are different types of midfielders. Smith has an attacking element to his game whilst Skuse is more defensive. If you want compare defensive midfielders then it should be Pack and Skuse.

And Its Smith Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 If I had to have one of the two in my side it would Korey Smith all day long. Can't remember Skuse getting man of the match nearly every game he played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skuse is 29, Smith is 25 (according to wiki) It quotes 'In July 2010, Smith was handed the number 18 shirt and continued to play regularly as Norwich won promotion to the Premier League' - so Smith was playing regular football at this level as a 19 year old (if my maths is correct), presumably let go as he wasn't ready for the Prem I'd take Smith over Skuse in a heartbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That award meant a great deal to him. As for Korey Smith - no doubt he's a classy player and he may develop the same class as Skuse but IMO he's not there yet.

pongo88 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 As much as I like Skuse and Gerkin, I'm glad they won't be playing. The weaker the team Ipswich have the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I liked Skuse but agree that Korey Smith is arguably and potentially better. Would be nice to have both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Completely different players. Surely Pack and Skuse is the more appropriate comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redapple Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Smith is a far better player than Skuse . Best midfield player we've had since Gerry Gow . If he could score 4 or 5 a season he'd be the complete midfield player . Pack is coming on a treat lately as well . Skuse was always a promising player for me , who never quite fully blossomed , and looked a bit jaded last 2 seasons at the Gate . Nice bloke though.

Gerry Gow - the greatest midfielder that I've ever seen playing for City. Terrific visionary player with quick feet. Hard as nails as well. He and the opposition midfield kicked lumps out of each other and to mention Korey Smith in the same sentence is laughable....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I was/am a big Skuse fan and thought he was a very underrated player for us but Korey is by far the better player. Cole did the simple things well but never really stood out in games, unlike Korey who is MOTM more often than not. The balls he pinches, the way he reads the game, the neat turns and shimmy's he does when receiving the ball and his general awareness of whats around him is prem class. Still only young and will keep improving.....Korey is a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man in the middle Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'd love to see skuse playing down the gate again, but as said before the more injuries for Ipswich the better as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'd take Korey over Skuse all day long. I'd take Pack over Skuse all day long. I'm gutted Skuse is not playing. Our midfield runners might get picked up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
