I do find it odd that the team completely falls apart without Downes, and yet it seemed far from certain at the time that he wanted to join us. What was the plan if he'd turned us down?
I doubt that Solak would be able to just arbitrarily fire Ankerson. He isn't an employee, he's the founder of a company Solak invested in. I'm sure DS has considerable power at board level, but it won't be as simple as snapping his fingers in displeasure.
Was actually a lovely chipped ball to him in the middle with acres of space. As it was floating towards him I allowed myself a tiny glimmer of hope that he'd bring it down, run into the gap and create something. But no, he just shinned it ten yards straight to an Ipswich player.
Well, we're currently 4th in what was meant to be a three horse race. And with a team that looks purpose built to bottle the playoffs the minute they're exposed to any sort of pressure.
This should make a few people feel old - that's Neil Danns' kid who just put 2 past us. Feels like only a year or two ago that people were saying we should sign his dad...
Got no answer to their press at the moment, and our only out ball is KWP running the length of the pitch. Should make changes now, this is fucking shit.
Mara was much better against WBA than Adam A.
Front three of Brooks, Mara and Fraser and the only person who could complain would be Edozie, who has also looked sharp and played with real awareness in his last couple of cameos.
