Saint Fan CaM

As I said, maybe it could, but what does that say to staff about the investment in time and focus of what might be considered the most important person in the footballing side of the club at what is in my opinion a critical year ahead?

Maybe this guy is the perfect answer…maybe. Personally I think there’s such a huge re-build job required to re-set the footballing side of the club, it needs the full-time focus of a DoF, not some half-baked solution (unless of course this chap is an absolute genius rather than a chum of Ankerson’s or Solak’s). As I say, time will tell. The upside is that it seems Juric knows exactly what he needs and importantly who he doesn’t need in his team. It strikes me that players like Manning favoured by RM were chosen because they’re NOT brave or skilled enough to anything adventurous in terms of passing forwards, taking the easy option of a pass backwards to relieve pressure on themselves and placing it on the player they pass to. It would appear that Juric is not tolerating any of that bullshit thankfully, hence the appointment and immediate inclusion of Welington.

“Appoint in some manner”….sounding like some half-baked shoe-in job. Not sure I’m getting good vibes about this, but time will tell I guess.

Does it change nothing or change everything? Somewhere in between perhaps. Well done Saints. On balance we probably deserved that.

Fernandes is very very good at taking the pressure off when moving out of defence.

Called the 8 mins - they don’t want us to win.

Don’t worry - there’s 8 minutes of stoppage time coming!

Fuck me - Sully and TP have done it for us!!!!

Aribo did well there to take the ball out of defence. There’s a decent Championship football player in there.

That’s 3-4 times TP has been called off-side. What a donkey.

Lallana on for Les. Here we go - 2-1.

Ref allows Ipswich to take a FK 15 yards forward of the foul. Desperate. At last Dibling on??? Nope.

FFS get Onoachu off!

Can see Bedders seeing a red - Delap is all over him. And all the way TP is so rubbish as a striker.

WTF is Dibling not on for TP.?

Feels like we’re really trying to hang on to a point now.

My word, it’s no wonder these two teams are where they are in the league.

Plus he’s got a heart issue - wouldn’t be surprised to find our insurance won’t cover it.

Apparently so. 😳🙄

Delap now resorting to cheating. Capt Jack looks crocked already - oh no, who’s on the bench? Smallbone coming on? WTF?

If Juric is to make changes I hope he takes the initiative and makes Ipswich react, rather than the other way round. This game needs pace up front the way it’s playing out - Dibling up front centre and Sully on for Bree, with Les dropping back to sit in front the defence.

Bree is not the answer. Nor is TP. Groanback is getting lost in the game now.

THB injury - it’s time for the Capt!

THB is riding a booking very close to the wind. Welungton makes his first error to give Ipswich a chance of 2-1 just before halftime

And again CB’s not learning a lesson…completely exposed. What’s the point of three at the back with that level of cover?
