v Ipswich Town (a) - 23/9/23

[G Somerset Rover]

JDT throwing him in as soon as he could tells us how desperate he/we are for someone to step up to the plate.

COYB, fancy us to win today.

[DE.]

Good that Siggy is starting. Frustrating that Pears isn't dropped despite numerous recent errors. Either Wahlstedt isn't up to much in JDT's eyes, which would be really worrying, or the manager is lacking some required ruthlessness. 

[AllRoverAsia]

I hope he's arnorplated against injuries.

Good luck lad

Given what we've seen of JDT's tenure so far I think it's fair to say he doesn't lack ruthlessness when he feels it's required.

[JohnD]

Only one change but the team looks stronger

I must have missed us beating Watford beating west Brom beating Boro.

I'm sorry but joke post, one of Ipswich easiest games this season ?Based on what?

I agree. No way is this an easy win for them.

Kets go at them and be a bit cooler in front of goal. No reason why we can’t win this.

Which only leaves JDT genuinely thinking Pears is better than Wahlstedt. Or Wahlstedt is struggling to settle/acclimatise. 

[simongarnerisgod]

leeds beat ipswich by moving the ball quickly and pressing strongly when they did`nt have it,it looked like ipswich are good going forward but not that great in defence or in defensive transition

after we`ve taken a two  goal lead i some someone fills that **** morsy in,descipable human being

Hope it is not too soon for Siggy.

Or maybe he doesn't believe Pears has  been as culpable as others for those goals. Certainly don't think it's down to ruthlessness!

Also hope Sigurdsson is given time to get up to speed and not slaughtered on here after 10 mins

Sigurdsson starting! Unexpected but most welcome.

Because of the football we play, I fear no-one... I only fear ourselves.

Hope that Morsy doesn't do a Nicky Marker on Siggy

A lot of happiness that Siggy is starting, but it feels premature to me. He's had what, two youth games after missing a whole preseason, clocking in I think 30 and 75 minutes. Not heard any reports that he stood out. I doubt he's ready for this start in all fairness, and I just hope he doesn't get crucified if he doesn't play well.

I suspect the plan will be to play him for about 60 minutes then take him off. Potentially at half time if he's struggling with his fitness.

Ok but I disagree with him.How many goals does he have to concede before we give our main summer signing in terms of a transfer fee a chance?

was he at fault for any goals in the last 2 games? No for me. 

Wahlstedt will get his chance at some point this season

or JDT has used the media very clever. Sigurdsson is ready to go.

Largely agree with this, we usually beat ourselves. I have a number of Tractor Boy friends having lived in Suffolk for a few years, they have been riding their luck. Hopeful and praying but still fearful about today’s result.

A perfect description for us.

In my eyes that is a better way to play a recovering player, rather than for twenty minutes off the bench.

At this stage, and obviously without having seen all his performance data, how he looks and holds up in training etc, I'd have been inclined to bring him off the bench at about the 60 minute mark today, which with current extra time would have given him close to 40 minutes, against tiring legs. Then give him a full 90 minutes in the next U21 game, and look to start him in the first team after that.

But obviously we'll see how it shakes out today. I suspect he isn't going to look ready though.

When I saw the teams I thought the same and wished we had someone to damage that thug Morsy early on. Damage as in send him to hospital. No apologies.

The next U21s game is tomorrow. I would say the cup game against Cardiff would be more likely.
