Ah, OK. I thought a discussion might be nice but never mind.

Ipswich are doing well in the Championship and they came 2nd last year. They haven't had billions of pounds spent on them, they just bought well with what they had and they've gelled immensely. 
My eldest Godson plays for their U18s, and I've got to say, they're a good club. Sometimes it's the people that make a club, not the money spent on the fancy banners. 
If we buy well in January without overspending and it gets us over the line, that's been the perfect season. If we add to what we have in the summer with a proper goal scorer, there's no reason why we can't have a go at the Championship.

Right. 
 
I've got to ask.
 
WHO THE FRICK TELLS OR ALLOWS COLLINS TO DRIFT OUT WIDE!?
Collins.. you are not a winger.. you don't have pace.. you don't have technique.. just do what you're supposed to do, stay central and be a striker, if that's what you are! Because that last cross was absolutely painful and ruined a perfectly good opportunity.

I have to say, when derby aren't on TV or down to have the game shown anywhere, I genuinely feel like my day has been completely ruined before it's started. 
Today is looking like 1 of those days.

I've been a member on here for 10 years if not more, always seen B4 knocking around and was always well thought of. Thoughts go to his family and those that knew him personally ❤️

I've got to say... apart from a big horrible cdm, getting a replacement striker for Collins (who'd I'd happily let go regardless of his goals) I would honestly love to see us put a bit of trust in our young players. We look like we have got some gems in there! The young lad Fatapu (spelling?) Was outstanding that first half with the confidence to match. The 2nd half there was that many good performances from the youngsters, I couldn't falt them. Robinson at the back was solid,Weston looked lively with a good finish, Wilson was top draw too, my personal MOTM.
Future looks bright!

In the position we are in, lacking goals, finishing off the chances we create, and nearly 2 months off the transfer window, would you stick with the experience in the likes of  Collins/Waggy/Wash? or would you be happy to take a risk in pushing our youth players like Brown where it might take them a few games to bed in but could potentially be better than all the others we have?
Just wondering where the rest of you stand?
For me, I'd much rather take the risk with Brown, seeing as Warne has stipulated goals need to be spread out across the team and we don't have a nailed on goal scorer. It seems like the perfect time to trying out new options.

Youth. 
One of the huge issues with our team is a lack of pace and athleticism. We lack it in so many areas, even NML who is quick is getting on in his career so can’t maintain for 90mins. Warne preached pressing in pre-season and we basically never do it because of this. It’s also why Thompson looked so good before he got injured, all because he could run. 
So, couple this issue with the fact fans are generally a lot, lot more patient with youth players than the same old retreads getting yet another try at it. Can we not see Darren Robinson instead of Korey Smith, for example? It was completely ludicrous that Brown had to wait to come on midweek to see Collins trot around for a bit. 

I will definitely agree with that. Its a shame because these are the games that the youth should be playing in. What's worrying is we played the winning team from last game against the league below, and was playing (up until last knockings) like we hadn't scored all season. So frustrating. But I would love to see Brown get a run of games and make the most of his potential. We're not exactly flying with goals in that department either 🙃

Warne isn't a risk taker, he's a plodder. We needed goals today (only a Cup game after all) and at no time did I think he'd bring Brown on. 

I don't give a poo about losing in the cup tbh, but what I do care about is the lack of opportunity Brown is getting, when really, this is the exact type of games he should playing in, especially ahead of Collins. 
 
The potential of Brown completely supasses anything Collins could dream to be considering his form at youth level (if guided right) , but yet Warne favours Collins continously, does my head in.
 
We lack natural finishers in our team and its painful to watch. Really don't see how we can improve that unless we break our small bank in January, get rid of Collins and attempt to sign a goal scorer in which we should of done in the summer to replace the one we lost.

Haha Thanks for the bad person confirmation, but also thank you for letting me know I'm not alone.
 
Thank you fellow slightly sour ram.
