As a lg1 club, we signed Bradley from Luton, so it's not impossible.
I would think that a number of Ipswich players who were with the club in lg1 may find the step up to the Premier, a step too far in their club's opinion. We will have first hand experience of playing against these players as well. Also, their players are unlikely to be on massive wages, Norwich and WBA players are also unlikely to be on massive wages and could be available if either of those clubs win the play offs.

DOH!
When I looked at the first page, the poll was at the top and not visible on my screen............................................until I just scrolled the page down instead of up.🙄
thanks Angie

Dan might not have been everyone’s cup of tea, none of us are, but he was harmless. He just didn’t understand some boundaries or points of views as most of us would. Several people have messaged me to acknowledge they weren’t always as patient or polite as they could have been. There are no hard feelings about that all. There’s a difference between impatience or pulling someone up when needed, than purposely being cruel to someone. 

I said this yesterday! 
 

Great photo of the academy lads put on Twitter by Sibley…

I prefer it to the Premier League. 
If you're outside the clique of Premier clubs then each game is just damage limitation. 
I hope the top six or whatever leave for some TV super league (Harlem Globetrotters anyone?) and the top domestic league becomes more competitive as a result. 
Even the championship is now ruined as a competition by parachute payments tilting the balance. 
At least League One was competitive, unpredictable and, in the most part, entertaining.

The poll is on page 1 of the thread "minimum expectations"

Look up into the night sky and you'll see a star twinkling, that'll be B4 starting the bounce in the heavens.
We couldn't have done it without you, mate.

BTW, I don't whether this has been covered, but Adams goal was wrongly called offside, not that it matters now.
It was wrong on 2 counts, firstly the defenders foot was hanging back and playing Adams onside, a marginal decision, but secondly the defender made a deliberate act to clear Sibo's shot which meant that Adams was onside, this was poor refereeing.

I think that this topic needs to be transferred to the football forum. 
After all, they are both lg1 clubs atm, whereas we're a Championship side.

We don’t know the reason for it but Daniel just stopped breathing in his sleep. The ambulance crew got a very faint heartbeat, so he went onto life support in ICU but he died two days later. Nothing showed up on hospital tests or the digital autopsy, so the coroner stated natural causes. He had a cold prior to it but had said he was feeling better. It seems that he would felt very little if anything when he stopped breathing, which is some comfort. The night before he had been at the Crewe away match and had fish and chips for his dinner. I’m glad he was doing something he loved on his last evening. Today is very tough 💔

Just watched the game on Rams Tv and the celebrations afterwards which were very emotional. Need to say a huge thank you to Owen Bradley who I think has worked tirelessly this season to bring us superb coverage of matches, interviews etc. He gets better and better. Shaun Barker has also made a great contribution to the season. Please say thank you to the entire team that you front. Hope you are back next year(

B4 was Daniel Beavis. A lifelong DCFC supporter who died suddenly in November, just hours after attending the Crewe away match. He was only 38 and had held a season ticket for almost 30 years. B4 was his username on this forum where he was well know for his unique take on all things DCFC and his kindness to others. Despite the situation of the club or inconsistency of results, he was unbelievably positive. Dan had learning difficulties and despite what he may have typed on here at times, he was actually quite vulnerable and his world was quite small. His whole world revolved around his beloved Derby County. His death has been a shock to us but his passion and love for DCFC has left an effect on many who knew him, in person or virtually. He was also my brother.

That game was the first huge target my dad gave himself the morning after the stroke. His recovery in 7 weeks has been incredible!
He may not have been able to clap, or bounce to prove he’s not a Red (but take our word for it, he isn’t), but with my help and with assistance from a steward, he was able to invade the pitch…
The short walk to the stadium was the limit of what he could do. Another enormous thank you to the absolute gent that is @ram59, and his mate Paul, without whom we simply wouldn’t have been able to make it.
UTR!!

I was looking back at pre-season threads to see how the general feel for the season was, compared to how it went (around page 26 if you’re interested) and came across this. One of the many threads where Daniel never gave up faith even if things weren’t going too well.
I looked up and saw his tribute on the scoreboard, and that was just as good as the goals for me yesterday.

I'm generally not that keen on "keep them on because they're good around the dressing room" contracts but they absolutly should for Fozzy, one more season as cover at left back and centre back? No brainer.
Last standing Nigel Clough player as well.

What!!!!!!
Just settling for the play offs, a club of our size?
Surely, it needs to be top 2 at the very least.😉
After all, the championship will be the weakest it's ever been with the big clubs going up and replaced with traditional championship clubs. If Warne can't get is in the autos against that lot, he needs to go. 😉

Not sure if this has been covered already but could I also give a shout out to the Carlisle fans who stuck by their side throughout and were magnanimous about our promotion?
Spoke to several of them afterwards and they seemed a good bunch, saying what a great club we were and wishing us all the best.
Hope they bounce back under Simmo.
