Thanks pal. Great talking to you.

I don't think any championship team will offer him 100k a week. Far more likely to come on loan with his wages subsidised. That being the case, I'd say we had as much of a chance as someone like Leeds, probably mire give his links here. This may all be moot of course as we may not want him but it's not as outlandish an idea as you claim. Circumstances are very different from 3 years ago as I outlined.

Is it a gammy eye?

It woild make zero financial sense. Even if he was worth that amount, unless he guarantees us promotion we'd be unlikely to make a big profit on him if we don't get promoted.

I said the same. I wonder if these reporters even bother to look into something like ffp before spouting very obvious nonsense.

I would suggest that the situation is rather different when he's three years older and has spent three years sitting on a bench. If your stance is that any championship club is not ambitious enough for him (even on loan till the end of the season) then it will be interesting to see if he goes anywhere near the championship won't it. I'm not saying it will happen, but it's hardly some outlandish flight of fancy that has no realistic chance of being true. Perfectly conceivable that someone like ings would take playing regularly at the top of the championship over warming the bench of a Premier league team.

There will clearly be other championship options for him. Given his links to the area I could see why he would prefer here than Leeds for example. I'm not sure what it would be that would mean we are his last resort. It can't have been that terrible last time.

Suppose we will see if he does entertain the idea of a return then.

How do you know he doesn't want to come back?

Why would you have any idea what sort of guy he is?

That's basically what Jo Tessem said on going home with Adam and Joe that it's good to have players who can do something different. Not the right choice here clearly but he has a bit of magic that can be handy if channeled in the right way.

No it isn't. More likely than not that we don't get above either of the top 2 but ten points is not insurmountable with more than half a season left. Not inconceivable that Ipswich get hit with an injury crisis or something like that. Two losses in a row for them with two wins for us and it's down to 4.

Not sure about others but if be fine with that. For me the only concern is not scoring enough will inevitably mean that we end up drawing and losing games we should be winning which may prove costly. Fine margins obviously at the top of the table.

Depends how many we draw I expect.

I'm hoping your smiley implies your reaction is a joke. I couldn't have qualified my reply much more than I did!

Steady on. I'm not sure two or three decent performances means he is a key player. I certainly hope that is what he becomes but let's not go overboard.

He was great today and to see him really making an effort to chase the ball was excellent. Like you say I've never seen that from him. The manager deserves credit for inspiring that in a player who has seemed lazy beforehand.

I didn't say they weren't good results (in fact I said the opposite) but it's not really a question that we have been scoring less than our promotion rivals and have yet to dominate a game to the extent that we are multiple goals to the good and cruising by half time or early in the game. Today was a great performance as I said but even then we scored two right at the end of the game and only added to our 1 goal lead after Blackburn had a man sent off. Had we not scored right at the end of the half, we would have been looking at another frustrating half of football where our clear dominance had not led to a lead and too many times this year that has happened and we've actually thrown games away. I think we've undoubtedly improved but I would like some more now and that means dominating some of the teams in this league and racking up some high scoring goals and putting games to bed.

Worth bearing in mind though that prior to this game we had draw two which although creditable results, we're frustrating because we didn't create enough so goals were very much not coming from all angles. I'd just like to see us scoring multiple goals to sew a game up by half time and scoring in multiples during our periods of dominance rather than waiting until someone goals down to ten men in the 60th minute to score more than 1 but like I said beggars can't be choosers on a day like today. We were excellent and long may that continue.

I woild still like us to produce a performance like this against 11 men for 90 minutes but beggers can't really be choosers in a day like today. I still want some assurance that our approach will work longer term.

He's a young kid who made a mistake and hopefully learns a lesson from it. He even apologised after scoring. Give the guy a bit of slack.

What a great performance and a cracking win. Worth highlighting days like today after all the shit we have had to endure for so long. Thoroughly enjoyed my day today and looking forward to QPR now.

I'd say points wise we are slightly above my expectations at the start of the season. Particularly when we didn't sign a fit striker of note.

Stand by this. Not too low or high after a performance. Overall this season we are doing very well.

Bizarre comment given the service we got from Ings last time out.
