Re: REPORT: Off the mark with our first win
I really should be getting used to seeing Premier League football by now. Oddly enough, as I finished reading Tony’s report, I glanced at the lineup and for reasons unknown, I brought to mind the times when we were signing ageing, free transfer journeymen in Division Four. It was almost a ‘pinch me’...

Re: Cullen’s goal VAR check
VAR is just a sponge that soaks up the thrill of the game. They said initially, it was to correct any ‘clear and obvious errors’, yet we see goals being disallowed for the tiniest of offside margins. Those decisions are most certainly not ‘clear and obvious’ to the human eye in real time. They just ...

Enzo Le Fee expected to miss six weeks and Dan Ballard eight weeks due to injury. To compound things, the lad on loan from Liverpool, Jayden Danns is not expected to return before the season ends.
That is some bad luck.

Re: The gulf between champ and prem showing again
In fairness to Ipswich, when a team rises as quickly as theirs did through sheer momentum, they have to level off at one point. Deservedly promoted, but nowhere near ready to be playing top flight football. They then went ‘shopping’ in the Championship for the majority of their new recruits, as was ...

Off the pace? Yes.
I’m sure there’s a saying that suggests the sign of a good side is when they win, even when they’re not at their best?
We have had some luck tonight, granted, but I’ll take a half time lead after a struggling performance any day of the week.
