Where does Warne have him playing this week?

It’s not just Sibley that gets move around but wherever he is playing he needs to contribute in the best ways

Totally agree. I'm not happy with the football we are playing. I hope Cashin is sold in the summer so he can take his 70 yard balls somewhere else. I know that one lead to a goal but thats not the point 

On some pitches it’s probably ok to be going long but you have to have people getting on the end of them but as a more permanent way of playing I am not for it with what we have playing but our midfield are usually facing our own defenders so the ball constantly ends up back with Cashin so it’s not overly his fault - our squad needs surgery but results are at a premium currently 

So folks if we make substitutions which we always seem to do will they improve us? 

At last ipswich beating Wycombe

NML our only outlet...need to get McDick better ball to feet. 

NML has been our only outlet in about 90% of our games this season at least until 60 mins then he’s shot generally 

Bolton, Portsmouth Peterborough winning Plymouth losing at Morecambe - we could do with Ipswich beating Wycombe 

come on Derby let’s seal a win

So selling Bird Knight Sibley and Cashin?

Belick you would have thought - we only need to sell when we want to - anyway let’s get promoted 

Having just listened to the sky sports pundits going on about us ( two of them were ex players of ours as well) they clearly have no idea about the restrictions we are operating under and they obviously don’t watch any games as they might have mentioned the dreadful decisions the officials keep inflicting on us.

Well we have a lot more goal scorers on the pitch to start with so let’s hope we don’t look a mess to start with like last week

Nearly what I meant. I think when you have a business plan you should only be able to spend what you earn. That is because the reason for that plan is because you have already breached the financial limits. In our case we spend less that what we earn (due to the plan).

Reading chose the only option they could in agreeing to sell players otherwise they would have been relegated last year. They didn't for what ever reason but they brought in other players. 

I think the EFL were wrong to force a club to gamble on player sales as a way out of debt but Reading were also wrong to sign players when they could not balance the books.

Peterborough should take legal action against Reading. 

I agree with you re getting back to normality or the new form of normality (thank god) and COYRs 

Reading didn’t make the punishments but Peterborough and ourself to some degree have a case against the EFL over the implementation of Reading FC punishment

To which the response should have been, you do that, then you can spend this. Does feel like they have been very lenient with Reading, I guess not being in administration and having 2 clubs threatening legal action removes any pressure to throw the book at them.

As well as giving them every opportunity to not be relegated unlike some - they still allowed them to sign 13 players, to replace those that they didn’t get move on.

So basically Reading said they would sell X amount of players and bring in X amount of money - which they didn’t 

Oh and they were allowed to sign 13 players this season on top

They may as well have said that if they don’t win on Saturday he’s sacked.  The sensible thing at this point is to wait until the end of the season and even then to stick with him regardless.  If they stay up, he’s a year wiser for the experience.  If they go down, he’s probably their best bet of going back up.  But this is the Fat Greek, and I don’t think he does sensible.  I think he’s sacked anyway, regardless of whether they stay up or go down.

Cooper will be the winner who’ll leave with his reputation in tact.

He’s still in a job because the fat Greek can’t get anyone else in - it’s that simple 

Who knows maybe if he does well and stays there we could be lent some decent players for next to nothing next season 🤷‍♂️

They are still getting a six point deduction. How is that being let off? Theyve already had another 6 deducted in a previous season. We only got 9 deducted for breaching the rules - hardly miles apart is it. If Reading enter administration i'm sure they'll be deducted another 12 like we were.

We got all nine points in one season they didn’t get all 12 points in one season

What an absolute mess the EFL is. Love how they have now palmed responsibility off on to someone else now that they have been exposed as incompetent and anything but impartial. 

Wonder if they actually regret letting Gibson control them for the best part of 2 years?

They will be hoping that Middlesbrough get promoted won’t they - unlike myself 

Can we sue the EFL then or does it have to be Reading FC 

So we got it in full then ! Reading let off to survive and given a great chance to escape real punishment again  - sounds about normal

We’re all Leeds for (24 hours) aren’t we?

Never - ignore the game and the result .    

Having only two centre forwards ( on paper) makes a huge difference just like last season

In fairness, I think that mcgoldrick was in an offside position when Cashin headed the ball.

Now whether he was interfering is something that is open to debate, but with the rules as they are and with the utter incompetence of the officials these days, it just adds another level of confusion to an already ridiculous situation

The ipswich player headed it to Cashin who scored - so that’s not offside anyway is it nowadays ?
