What was Richie doing making 5 subs on 60th min, what a donut. I said straight away keep 1 sub back until 80th -85th min. He done this a couple of months back and it cost us a result then thought he would have learnt his lesson then. Richie cost us a draw we was on top pushing for a goal, creating ...

The two best wide players will not play in an Os shirt again. Move on.

Agreed, but was trying to retain a modicum of positivity (cos there's little to be had generally at the moment).

The 2 best wide players most likely out for the rest of the season. Loan players, in most cases, not up to the task. Manager who can't seem to get his substitutions right, won't admit to mistakes and looks increasingly deluded. The most influential midfielder not properly replaced. Key midfielder no...

A midfield with Brown and Warrington in it will never work - both not good enough at this level.

Even Dulcet Dave has described it as a dreadful second half performance. So please RW don't say "We were the better team" again... it's just getting embarrassing now.

Another defeat to another crap team...We are in a bad, bad position and TBH I can't see the current coaching team turning it around. They look to be be pretty clueless. How has it come to this?

Yes totally agree. I really thought we had unearthed a diamond when he arrived. Sadly our fantastic coaching team have managed to change all that

Everyone knows Agyei should be starting up front - sadly RW doesn't seem to want to admit that fact and persists with Kelman as main forward. And sadly we have no other options

El Mizoni loves it here & doesn't want to move. Lives in Stratford & said he is only two hours away from his family who live in Paris. He'll stay as long as we can afford Ipswich's valuation. Was also told he turned down an approach from Barnsley in the January transfer window. Barnsley are...

Yet again I reiterate, regarding my point, we do not know what he wants. And assuming he has everything he wants is at best speculation - the January window outburst suggests he didn't. Given - a bigger club with genuine Championship potential/background (proven over the last X seasons) - a bigger s...

I don’t buy that. Bournemouth, Luton and Brentford all got into and maintained life in the Championship with a stadium of a similar size to ours. They all had bigger stadiums than ours, and two of them knew they would be moving to even larger ones fairly soon. Bournemouth’s average attendance in th...

What he has here is everything he’s wanted as a manager. There is zero indication he wants to leave yet fans are already wondering who his replacement will be. Almost to the point of obsession. Yes, everything except the opportunity to progress to a higher level any time soon, and make a decent go ...

It is bizarre Totally agree with you about his quality. Is he holding the club to ransom, though? Having said that, he must know that he is popular with the fans and he is building something here. What he has here is everything he’s wanted as a manager. There is zero indication he wants to leave ye...

Sad fact that every game there will be one of those hiccoughs - but fortunately normally gets away with it

PT is not a consideration (whether he joins Richie or not). There's no-one else internal (thankfully Richie got rid of McMahon as soon as he could, otherwise he'd be in the frame). After having to deal with a head-strong, impulsive character for the past 2 years, I can see Lingy reverting back to t...

Brynn. 6.5. The square root of f all to do. James. 8. Joint MOM. Always in the right place at the right time. A couple of good blocks. Passing was excellent. Beccles. 6.5. Started off with a mistake or two then realised Carlisle were awful and slept through the rest of the match. Happe. 7. Nothing ...

back to original song - yes please

all the choices are Admin to choose...

Just 'No'. Red is a colour associated with us since the very beginning - if we wish to retain a degree of heritage and history then red (and white) should always be the colour(s). Even in our first league season where we seemed to adopt the Italian flag as first choice shirt, red and white were part...

He's led a charmed life this season - our league position is flattering given some of the games we won when we didn't merit it. Time for him to go. And the team of coaches who seem to add little value. How a coaching team of 4 people (or 5 inc. Jobi, or is it 6 inc. Ling senior?) cant get a better p...

Myles Judd has gone on loan and for good reasons - and only Ross will know this That would be the Myles Judd who rivals Ling for his position?

I probably could hazard a guess.

No comment

Again , where is Judd ?

He must have seriously upset someone...

I've held my tongue for long enough - Ling is NOT a defender

Why bother bringing in a CB on loan when we can play a full back out of position
