Title: Ipswich v Swindon pre match chat and matchday thread
Post by: Private Fraser on Thursday, January 7, 2021, 13:12:54
From today's press conference:

Sheridan on transfers:
It’s important we bring players to freshen us us and make us strong. I am very pleased with the signings so far and we should have one or two more in the next week. We’re in a fight at the moment and need to be strong.

Sheridan on Dominic Thompson:
He’s a very attack minded player and he wanted to come here to play. When he goes back to Brentford he will have games under our belt and that is an area we need to be stronger.

Sheridan on Kovar departure:
He’s a young keeper who has come out on loan and I just feel we need to be stronger in that department.

Sheridan on Palmer and Twine:
They are here to push people who are here and now they have to force their way into the side. Scott Twine has done excellent at Newport and I like what I see.

Sheridan on Twine:
While I’m here I will try to improve him. He’s done well at Newport and comes to us as a much confident player. Newport made an offer but I want him back here and he is our player.

Sheridan on departures:
We have to work around what is best for us. I’m not going to keep loan players here who aren’t in the team. We are looking good squad size and if I was a player then I would want to be playing.

Sheridan on Joe Fryer:
We won’t be extending Joe’s contract and he will be leaving. Joe understands the decision and hopefully he will go on and be successful.

Sheridan on Archie Matthews:
He will be out number two and I like the way he trains.

Sheridan on incomings:
Saturday might be a bit too soon but we are trying to get players in as quick as possible.

Sheridan on Covid testing:
Cases keep popping up more frequently and it is important people do things in the right manner. Hopefully we can resolve the situation.

Sheridan on injuries:
We have one or two niggles but hopefully everyone will be ready for Saturday.

Sheridan on Ipswich:
Ipswich are a big team for this league and are a solid outfit. They started the season well but have been inconsistent. We have to go there and be strong. When we switch off we can be very vulnerable but we go there with confidence.
They haven’t played for a long time so we will just have to wait and see what players they have ready. I’m sure they will have some players back from injury.

Ipswich fans in pretty much the same boat as Swindon fans when it comes to enjoyment this season, losing some of the love of watching their team as they struggle, fans disenchanted with the manager and tactics and form even though they sit in 7th place.

They haven't had a game since 15th December a home win 2-1 vs the struggling Burton and they only have 2 wins in the last 5 league games and only 3 wins in the last 10 games in all competitions Burton, Plymouth and Shrewsbury and only 1 being a draw with our nearest neighbours.

Hopefully Back To Business..........

I must admit I have kind of become detached from all things ITFC related these last few weeks, it seems weeks and week since we last played as this awful situation the world finds itself in continues to mess with every walk of life, Football is no different and at our level Covid 19 has been biting hard with lots of games now being lost as squads up and down the Country are being affected by it, in fact we have been one of the worst hit with no less than Eleven confirmed cases within the playing squad etc, hopefully are all doing well and are on the mend now but the threat is still very much there and it may well not be the last instance of the nature we see at Portman Road.

It may seem like an age since we last took to the field but in fact it will only have been Twenty Five days by the time we step onto the grass to take on Swindon Town, some say it has come at the right time what with our much discussed injury list seemingly rising with each passing game, hopefully some are well on the road to recovery and having them return will boost the squad no end. Quite how the long lay off will affect the team is anyone's guess but let's be honest we are usually pretty damn awful after an International break so this could be ugly, hopefully those who have been fit will have kept themselves in good shape and match fit, losing the last Four games against Peterborough Utd, Northampton Town, AFC Wimbledon & Fleetwood Town could well have been much worse but like us some of the bigger clubs have also seen games called off which means we have only slipped down to Seventh place in the table and incredibly we are still only Five points off the Top Two places with a game in hand.

Our form prior to the enforced break was a bit up and down but we had managed to scrap out two wins in the last Three games, albeit making hard work of seeing off bottom club Burton Albion last time out. Our opponents Swindon Town are on a really poor run of form with just a solitary point taken from their last Five league games, their last outing saw them thrashed 1-4 at home to Franchise so we can assume their confidence will be pretty low although the break may have been a welcome thing for them.

The Robins top scorer is a well known face around these parts, Brett Pitman had a bit of a mixed time at Portman Road but there is little doubt he knows where the goal is and is always one to watch, ungainly he may be but Pitman is certainly not lacking in ability and Town's often shaky defence must be on their guard against this former old boy. Swindon ship an average of Two goals a game and only Burton Albion have conceded more so Town must take the game to them and create a lot more than we have been doing in recent games, the points are there to be won and win them we will as long as we approach it in the right way, despite it being on Sky which rarely does us any favours I think Town can get up and running again with a win and that would be a great way to return to the fold, I doubt it will be easy or straightforward, we never seem to make that happen but I do see the Boys in Blue running out winners, god it's good to HOPEFULLY be back. COYB'S.

Luke Woolfenden, Kayden Jackson are ex Town players they have ex Town targets James Norwood and Ollie Hawkins in the squad.

Confidence of Swindon fans is currently at a real low with few expecting a win, and Ipswich has never been a happy hunting ground for Swindon with just 2 wins there in my lifetime of just over half a century back in 89 and 91. Swindon have lost their last 4 games at Portman Road and lost 5 of the last 6 games played there the other being a draw.

The 4-1 win in 91.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9HPKmqr0dw&feature=emb_logo

The 2-1 win in 89.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBfpynM_iJ0&feature=emb_logo

My only memories of games there are Fjortoft scoring his first Swindon goal there in the FA cup and the start of his great run of games and goals for the Town and the 6-1 defeat in the LC in 1985 when we took around 3,000 travelling fans there on a cold Tuesday evening in November, still remains one of the best atmospheres at a Town away game I have experienced even though we had Brentford loanee Richard Key in goal after keeping a clean sheet vs Sheff Weds in the previous round he had a bit of a mare.

Hopefully the new signings make an impact, in the right way, and we can get an unexpected win even though my head says a 3 goal+ defeat.

I know he won’t, especially away to Ipswich but I’d play 1 out of Grant and Lyden abs put Tyler up front with Pitman.

I dont think you are too far away maybe 1 or 2 slight changes with Payne in for Grant ....This gives more time for Granty to heal his ankle ....

Looking forward to watching the match...... maybe even another player in before  Sat... :)

It worked for me once in College, when the Coach was otherwise engaged and forgot to put a team sheet up.............send Johny in with a team sheet of his own, that looks like this one, and pop it wherever it needs to go and see if Sheridan just takes it.

Think it's really important we go with Conroy and Fryers now. I'd expect to see Palmer in for Grant and go more of a 433. Not sold on Pitman from the start, but he deserves a crack from recent stints.

100% start Twine. We should be on a 6 month charm offensive with him.

100% start Twine. We should be on a 6 month charm offensive with him.

Well at a minimum, as I previously suggested, Town should be spending the whole of Jan trying to tie him down to a new and longer contract. The lad possibly deserves an improved contract anyway (which I'm sure his side will be pushing for initially) but he does have the back drop that Newport (depending on how much they rate him) would also like to sign and offer him a deal too. This is despite any others who might be sniffing around also.

I'm sure and would hope that Town are trying to do this during the month anyway, as it would only help bump up any potential transfer price tag if Town/Power/Whoever were going to accept a bid.

Let's get this straight, Twine is not our L&S but he finds himself in quite a strong position in terms of potential offers (from Town and others), we can only doff our cap to a guy that was told he wasn't good enough by some gobshited Manc twat. I'm glad he's concentrated on his game and maybe we should also put a slight nod towards Michael Flynn, who has clearly played him in a position of strength; all the signs are great for Twine to push on now as a player, whether that continued at Town or elsewhere.

Twine has proved to be quite the professional in trying times and I'm fucking chuffed for the lad!

Edit:
I'll go for a 1-1 draw, Twine (if he starts or comes on...) with a one-two, knocked back assist for a Johnny Smith screamer :pint:

Strange that our lineup could have 5 'new' faces in it. Also necessary given our last performance!

I can't see us getting much though. They have off days sure but Ipswich are a pretty decent, well drilled side. A good chance for case of the ex (as is standard procedure) with Woolfenden and Jackson (if you count him). They also have ex Cobblers Cornell in goal who I swear always has blinders against us.

Think Ipswich win this by 2.


Title: Re: Ipswich v Swindon pre match chat and matchday thread
Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, January 8, 2021, 09:32:24
I think that even if Freeman and, perhaps, Johnson, are a little off it fitness-wise, I'd be inclined to give them minutes.

A I said on the LSPod last week, we almost need to treat this tough run of 3 fixtures as a mini pre-season with a new squad, so I won't be too judgmental re the performances of the new boys immediately.


Title: Re: Ipswich v Swindon pre match chat and matchday thread
Post by: Nomoreheroes on Friday, January 8, 2021, 09:37:31
Difficult to predict the line up. I would expect all those signed plus Palmer and Twine featuring.

I'm excited about watching this. I hope we don't continue with our normal abysmal Portman Road record.

I'm hoping for a strong, battling performance, where we are competitive, solid at the back and create chances. I also hope to see us score too!

I'd love a win, settle for a draw but be happy with a strong performance in a defeat.

Certainly is a difficult line-up to predict, but here goes...

Travers starts obviously, and think Thompson and Twine are chucked straight in also. Freeman and Palmer will be bench at best for this one. Agree with Terry above, that it's time to give Conroy and Fryers a run as a centre-back partnership.


(4-2-3-1)
GK - Travers

RB - Odimayo
LB - Thompson
CB - Conroy
CB - Fryers

CM - A.Grant
CM - M.Smith

RW - Jaiyesimi
AM - Twine
LW - Hope

FOR - Pitman

Subs - Matthews (GK), Freeman, Baudry, Lyden, Payne, J.Smith, T.Smith


Our last 10 day break between games led to the Franchise horror show, so really don't know what to expect? Hopefully the freshness brought to the squad by the new recruits and departures (Kovar & Stevens) so far can have a galvanising effect? It's a tough game though, Ipswich's home record against sides below them in the table is impeccable (played 7, won 7, conceded just 2) and an honourable defeat where we play well but lose 2-3 say, might be enough to signify some progress?

If we can recruit a decent striker or two next week, and who's to say we can't given the Travers and Freeman signings this week, then perhaps we've got a fighting chance of having a monster February... enough to give us a chance of staying up? We'll find out soon.

Everything that Sheridan has said has indicated that Twine will be on the bench and will have to fight for his place, so I am not sure why everyone thinks he is a shoe in to start.  I could be wrong of course but I expect him and Palmer to be on the bench.

Bit of a tricky one with Twine, obviously his confidence is sky high off the back of a great loan spell at Newport so is there a danger that starting him tomorrow will see an element of him trying to hard to impress?

I suspect he will be on the bench but either way I do think he will be involved and it will be fascinating to see how well he does. IIRC he had a super pre-season didn't he (I know you can't tell much from pre-season) which has led into his positive spell at Newport.

Hopefully he isn't written off immediately if he doesn't live up to expectation tomorrow.

A later kick off, an all day pub crawl, this would have been an away day to look forward to.
Twenty years since the last encounter at Portman Road.
Have been there more recently through work.
Could blot out the moaning of the client based up in Lack of Endeavour House by peering out of the window down at the ground next door.

Didn't make the last win there in 1991 but did see the 2-1 in '89, Steve White in the last minute. :)
Also remember the I was there when Fjortoft scored moment in the FA Cup followed by a Nicky Hammond cock up.

It's been a free pass in terms of criticism of individuals this season if the view is that the L1 struggle is mainly down to the impact of Covid.
However, hoping that there is a lot more substance to the new keeper in terms of shot stopping ability when compared to the intermittent hologram that was his predecessor.

Would expect an improved performance and maybe Ipswich could be a bit sluggish after a long lay off.
A quick start, take an early chance and who knows. The start of the Sheridan revolution? Possibly not.

Anyway, back in the good old days when live music was still allowed Ipswich's finest would always put on a very good show.

Not been on this forum for some time and have not read back.  I hope that Twine isn't being heralded as the saviour of STFC's season.  That said, it will be interesting to see how he does get on if he plays some part in the match.

I recall that I suggested that he should be worthy of first team playing time following his pre-season performances. However, like many, I have no idea how he might get on in div 3.

I don't think DJ will feature - Maybe on the bench. I think Hope will be above him in the pecking order.

I'm not saying that's right, but I suspect that's what will happen.

I think all we can be certain of is that Travers will be in goal and maybe Matthews on the bench.

Newport call their bid for Twine off, with Flynn saying bigger clubs are interested

Two ways (and I'm sure many more) of looking at this. Flynn has stated this to see what Town do next. If Twine gets minutes tomorrow (and especially a very late and suspect 88mins sub appearance) then Newport are the only real suitors that could utilise Twine for the rest of this season. That we know they would like to. I would say it means we are interested in them making a better offer.

If he gets zero minutes, then Town are saying to Newport, you can make bids if you want but we already have other parties interested.

Let the games begin.

Not been on this forum for some time and have not read back.  I hope that Twine isn't being heralded as the saviour of STFC's season.  That said, it will be interesting to see how he does get on if he plays some part in the match.

I recall that I suggested that he should be worthy of first team playing time following his pre-season performances. However, like many, I have no idea how he might get on in div 3.

I think people have been strangely pragmatic about his saviour like potential in this aspect. FWIW unless we have already decided that he has to be flogged I am not sure what we really have to gain by not playing him after calling him back, he looked good in pre-season ans proven he can do it (at least a bit) in Div 4.

I assume they will get something for reaching R3 of the cup this weekend, albeit a home tie against Brighton would have made a fair bit more if it wasn't being played behind closed doors.

I suppose Power/Standing/Whoever may think that (as long as Town offer Twine a new deal) they can get more for Twine EoS via tribunal. If he doesn't sign a new deal.

I may have shared this before (it's around 4yrs old but I doubt too much has changed), Rob Hall is a good example of a young player developed by a club and then leaving after contract expiration.

https://fullcontactlaw.co.uk/2016/11/compensation-players-24-mystery/

In some ways, it might be better for Town "long game" wise to keep Twine to the EoS. I guess it really depends on if Town really need the cash now (which would be in dribs and drabs anyway likely) or cna wait for a better payout in the summer, if this situation were to arise.

I would invest in Twins as he looked good in pre-season and has gone on to perform well in div 4. We may well end up relegated so keep him and build a team that enables his talent to be developed further. Then flog him for bigger returns. If we stay up, (hoping) he has hopefully become consistent and useful at this level. Brown I seemed to recall rated him. That might not be a strong argument mind!

Seeing some of the money being spent on young, inexperienced players with potential £1m.

Just look what academy products from Exeter and 1 now from Cobblers are going for  - 8 games, 1 goal, going for £1m.

Or half that and a 40% sell on. Could see Power/Tactics screwing QPR over him.

Ipswich fans in pretty much the same boat as Swindon fans when it comes to enjoyment this season, losing some of the love of watching their team as they struggle, fans disenchanted with the manager and tactics and form even though they sit in 7th place.

They haven't had a game since 15th December a home win 2-1 vs the struggling Burton and they only have 2 wins in the last 5 league games and only 3 wins in the last 10 games in all competitions Burton, Plymouth and Shrewsbury and only 1 being a draw with our nearest neighbours.

http://www.tractor-boys.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=67416&sid=7264ad1d7680fe4cc90e1712e4e9fe08
Luke Woolfenden, Kayden Jackson are ex Town players they have ex Town targets James Norwood and Ollie Hawkins in the squad.

Confidence of Swindon fans is currently at a real low with few expecting a win, and Ipswich has never been a happy hunting ground for Swindon with just 2 wins there in my lifetime of just over half a century back in 89 and 91. Swindon have lost their last 4 games at Portman Road and lost 5 of the last 6 games played there the other being a draw.

The 4-1 win in 91.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9HPKmqr0dw&feature=emb_logo

The 2-1 win in 89.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBfpynM_iJ0&feature=emb_logo

My only memories of games there are Fjortoft scoring his first Swindon goal there in the FA cup and the start of his great run of games and goals for the Town and the 6-1 defeat in the LC in 1985 when we took around 3,000 travelling fans there on a cold Tuesday evening in November, still remains one of the best atmospheres at a Town away game I have experienced even though we had Brentford loanee Richard Key in goal after keeping a clean sheet vs Sheff Weds in the previous round he had a bit of a mare.

Hopefully the new signings make an impact, in the right way, and we can get an unexpected win even though my head says a 3 goal+ defeat.

I remember that game well as we left around 1.30 and our coach parked up in compound (make shift car park) around 4.30 which was three hours before kick off so we had plenty of time to kill in the Town Centre before walking back to the ground listening to deafening chants of we are Lou macaris red and white army. We also took over the pub newr one of the side stands and completely out sang them for 90 minutes

I have a feeling after Odimayo not looking as comfortable at RB last week that he will recall Caddis and we will line up as....

                  Travers
Caddis    Conroy    Fryers     Thompson
        Palmer     M Smith     Lyden
DJ                                            Twine
                     Pitman

Subs:
Matthews
Odimayo
Baudry
Grounds
T Smith
J Smith
Payne

I don't think he will have recalled Twine and Palmer to not have them play, will start with Thompson and Travers and Freeman I don't think will be assessed as being fit enough yet, certainly to start but may creep on the bench possibly in the place of Odimayo.

Absolutely, Twine has played in a central attacking midfield position, I feel we will play him wide left but in a free role swapping with DJ, maybe they play a bit more centrally.

                  Travers
Caddis    Conroy    Fryers     Thompson

Yeah mostly played in that number 10 role. But if you play DJ and J. Smith further up the pitch, it’s more of a 4-3-3 formation to support Pitman. It’s going to be interesting see how it lines up.

Looks like Sam Parkin is in the Sky Sports studio as a pundit today!

I’ve no problem with his dad providing money to allow him to train with the squad, but getting on the bench every game is a step too far. Obviously there must be some kind of clause that says he needs to be in the squad. As a result you’ve gotta assume one of Baudry, Hunt or Odimayo is missing out.

I like the look of the team, feel quite confident. Decent options off the bench as well bar Curran.

Due to my confidence, expect a comfortable defeat.

Also interesting to see how Woolfendon plays, liked him when he was on loan with us.

Harsh.

I dont know what formation we play week to week seeing the line ups
There is an element of the truth in that TBF.

But Palmer has never played wide right/forward in his 230+ game career so I think thats a given.

If they'd have seen any of our recent games they'd have written us off more. More or less a different team today, the number of changes you might normally see after a preseason! Looks like an enormous improvement so far, let's hope we keep it up.

What a world of difference.

Travers looks like he’s on the same level, if not better, than Benda
Thompson is just sheer quality on that left back role. So lucky and shrew to have signed him.
Conroy and Zeki look solid in the middle
And Caddis is possibly our weakest link in that back line but doing what he does best.

Looks like Twine is playing that 10 role.
Is it me or has Pitman not won a header yet?
Matty Palmer is going to be another one that proves Wellens wrong

Buzzing that we’re starting to finally play to our potential. So underrated and we’ll be climbing the league soon. I’ll say it now, top half finish, dark horses for the playoffs if we carry on this level of performance. Bring on the 2nd half.

I was glad the 1/2 time whistle went when it did. We looked to be tiring in the last 5 mins. Important to go in ahead.

Thought Thompson looks immense! Travers kept us in the game with an important save.

Palmer has been helping Caddis, who looks good going forward, but a yard off the pace in defence.

M Smith hitting hard passes

Conroy cross field balls don't work

Pitman hustling. Shame he got in the way for DJs second chance.

Good half.  Thompson looks a very tidy player and has added a bit of pace in recovery in the defence as well.  The shape has been good, but I am not sure about the Twine/Palmer positions, think they should be swapped.  Palmer is doing alright but Twine looks a bit lost and Lyden has been pointing him through at times.  It's working though.

Caddis looks half decent on the ball and an old man defending at times.  That side worries me a bit.

If only we could put a different engine in Pitman.  Probably his most "effective" game thus far, but it's like watching me move about at times.

Travers is a massive upgrade and is massive as well.

Overall, we have another goal in us, but I do fear we will concede one.

If only we could put a different engine in Pitman.  Probably his most "effective" game thus far, but it's like watching me move about at times.

Travers is a massive upgrade and is massive as well.

Overall, we have another goal in us, but I do fear we will concede one.
I agree on all that.

Good half that. Only concern is with Caddis on a booking and likely tiring we could really have done with Odimayo on the bench. Really hope he’s injured and not there so that the ball boy can sit on the bench.

Fantastic win. Not a perfect performance but for a team that mostly met last week and the terrible form we've been in, that's scarcely believably good.

Any of Thompson, Twine, Conroy, Jayesemi would be good MoTM candidates for me. New signings and returning players all looked the part.

Absolutely delighted.

Huge win. Generally a good performance other than a few bits here and there. Travers and Thompson definite upgrades on what we had. Nice to have someone who wants to shoot like Twine amongst our ranks too. Soaked up the pressure a bit too much at times but you have to take three points there.

Superb to be honest. Ony 2 individual errors stopped a better looking scoreline. I would still be looking at one extra centre half for a couple of reasons. There is no way can rely on Fryers both physically or technically

Onwards and upwards now, Thompson man of the match for me


Title: Re: Ipswich v Swindon pre match chat and matchday thread
Post by: RobertT on Saturday, January 9, 2021, 19:31:07
Great 3 points, good performance at times, still some issues to solve.

Twine's finish was superb.

DJ was a menace at times.

Generally our shape was good in defence.

Still far too passive when defending one on one though.  Until Twine scored we looked like we were going to lose that and we still let them back into it.

I'd suggest Caddis is serving his final days now, he really does seem to be struggling in defence.

Conroy and Fryers looked good for 90 mins, but had 5 minutes between them throughout the game where they let themselves get bullied, turned and generally feeble.  Hopefully as they play more games together they will grow and we can build a much more sold foundation.

Palmer did a job, Smith had his least effective game but seemed more focused on holding a position.  Lyden was OK, some dodgy passes but calm most of the time and will get better.

Could do with a forward - we were defending with 10 men at times.  If you could blend Pitman and Smith you'd have a good player.  Pitman was much better on he ball though.

Overall, far more positives and the new guys have added to the team.

Anthony Grant at least got a touch in his ten second appearance.

Post by: DiV on Saturday, January 9, 2021, 19:37:08
Keeper looked decent, although hardly troubled. Great save from what I thought was the office change.

Caddis looked sharp going forward yet a yard off the pace in defence. Booking early probably didn’t help. Connory was solid. I barely noticed him which as a defender his probably a good think. Fryers was solid for the most part but a few dodgy moments

Thompson was solid defensively and decent going forward. Linked up well with DJ. Man of the Match for me.

Smith and Lyden were good in the middle. Got on the ball and kept it well (apart from the first 15 mins of the second half) as did Twine. Thought he looked extremely composed and playing deeper with the game and goal on front of him suites him a lot better than being out wide or further up front.

If Ronaldo has hit that we’d be seeing replayed if it for the next decade.

I thought Palmer was very good. His final ball was poor and he didn’t offer much going forward but I’ve played enough games on the wing myself to know you have those sort of games where you sacrifice going forward to offer extra cover to the full back. He did that very well and at no point would I have replaced him with a more attacking player.

DJ played well, apart from dicking about with it too much and giving it away for their first goal.

Our third goal summed up Pitmans entire game. Technically he didn’t do or offer a lot but he was effective. He was always there to challenge for the call, to put pressure on the defender, to get in the way.


We played very well first half. Although Pitman wasnt winning all the headers we were still picking up second ball, we didn’t do this half as well second half. It’s what ultimately lead to Ipswich getting it back to 1-1. At that point you wonder whether we are going to crumble or not. We might have but for Twine’s moment of magic.

Great win. Not a bad performance out there but Fryers made me nervous last 10 after looking sold all night.

That Twine goal was insane. We looked threatening all game. Surely have too much about us to worry about going down but will need to string a couple of wins together to get us out of the soup.

Palmer and Twine brilliant re-additions to the squad.

Travers - 9 - Brilliant save in the first half to keep us ahead. Looked very solid
Caddis - 6 - Good going forward. Looked slow in defending
Conroy - 7 - Solid and unspectacular. Cross field passes in first half were poor
Fryers - 6 - Panicked towards the end. Struggled with Norwood and Judge movement.
Thompson - 10 - Best LB performance I have seen for Town in many a year. Snuffed out Jackson completely. Crossing was awesome. Attacking he looked as good as defending! Complete performance!!
M Smith - 7 - Steady if unspectacular. Passing was a bit too hard at times
Lyden - 8 - Same as Smith.
DJ - 7 - Cracking header for first. Pitman stopped another. Lucky with the second. Other than that, blew hot and cold. Defended a little too deep when we were under the cosh. Bit quicker moving forward would have helped.
Pitman - 8 - Physical presence. Didn't win everything, but cause problems. Did the dirty work and covered a lot of ground.
Twine - 8 - Flicks and passes for all of the goals and goal of the season, decade and millennium!
Palmer - 7 - Helped Caddis a lot and gave up a lot of attacking option because of it. When he did break forward, his crossing was poor.

Pitman led the line much better. Everything was much better without a clown in goal (sorry but a shambles).

Sheridan:
- Work ethic good
- Played good passages of football
- Deserved to win the game
- We held on
- Most important thing is 3 points
- Good performance to take home the 3 points
- Good shape. Good performace
- Ipswich didnt trouble us much
- Just because hes bringing other players in, doesnt mean they will start
- Twine scored a spectacular goal
- Palmer solid
- Keeper solid
- Caddis solid (I don't necessarily agree)
- Goals that we conceded were soft
- Massive plus to take points off Ipswich
- Didnt want to single out players
- Twine's was a good strike. Should have done better with the chance in the first half.
- First goal was excellent. Great passage of football
- DJ claiming the third. Shez didn't believe him, but it doesn't matter. We won
- Ball was put in a dangerous area and ended up in the net
- 7 changes: On a bit of a run, as our performances have been good in the last 7 games, apart from one half against MK and some silly mistake
- We can cope with most teams in the league
- Shape was good tonight
- Freeman short of match time. Big, big signing
- All new signings will hopefully make us stronger
- Just want people fighting for their place

A good performance and result - overall we deserved to win.
First half could have been 2 up.
New players and returning loanees all did well, as indeed did the rest of the team.
I particularly like seeing Lyden back as he does simple things effectively , and Conroy at the back.
Twine did well - his pass to Thompson for the first goal was excellent, as well as his goal. I agree with those who said Thompson was mom. looked really good at LB. Defence generally more solid but te ball over the top still an issue. Travers clearly an upgrade on Kovar and Fryer.
I was surprised we didn’t make a couple of subs shortly after conceding the second - to break up play mainly. Hope for Pitman, and expected Grant for M Smith or Lyden slightly earlier than it eventually happened.

If we can add a forward and stop conceding soft goals we’ll soon climb the table.

Get Freeman in in place of Caddis, sign a half decent striker, get Jonny Smith firing and it’s looking good.

So good to see Lyden back and put in a class performance. He gives us great shape in and out of possession.

What can you say about Twine’s strike?! The best since Matty Taylor’s away at Wycombe?

Jewell’s pulled it out of the bag with Travers, Thompson and in theory, Freeman. Fair play to him and presumably Power for backing him

Very good value for that win, but shame Fryers had to take on the Baudry/Grounds/Odimayo calamity role for their second.

What a delight. Great goals and work rate. DJ worried that full back to death, Twine was clever as well as a great strike. Thompson superb, (so much better than the last defender we had of that name 😉) Lyden gave us the presence we've been lacking in midfield taking a lot of pressure off Matt Smith. Even managed another comedy concession which didn't affect the result.

We looked pretty well organised for the first time this season which says something about Sheridan and TW getting an extended time with the players.

New additions added some spark to the dressing room as well as on the park.

I felt the defence looked immediately more confident with Travers in goal so he must have shown something in training which wasnt there before with Kovar.

Thompson was immense and should have been MOTM.

Twine's goal was absolute class. Teams will work out not to give him that much space and he didnt offer too much else just yet.

Pitman was very clever and he's clearly an intelligent player. The more time he gets in the legs I still think he'll come good, 90 minutes in the belt will do wonders.

Lyden back in there released Smith to do his thing and DJ was always a threat. What a great header and move for the goal.

The new lad at RB sounds like a proper signing, interesting that JS saw those areas as key rather than strengthening immediately at CB.

Dry January well and truly broken tonight.  :pint:

The new lad at RB sounds like a proper signing, interesting that JS saw those areas as key rather than strengthening immediately at CB.


We already have 7 CBs but had no fit left backs so that and goalie were always going to be the first places to start.

Also Twine did a brilliant pass to Thompson for the 1st goal so a bit harsh to say he didn't offer much apart from the goal.

Agree with everything else you said :-)

We don't need CBs. We have our first choice pair back at last, and adequate cover.

Still think we'll see a swap of loanees up top and perhaps another wide forward option added. Hoping for another keeper too, but seems unlikely, and maybe one more cm.

Yeah fair one on being overloaded at CB but the goals conceded would suggest a problem centrally whoever was there. What do you think will happen with Grounds who has played but us fans all see him as the weak link?

Twine yes good pass, maybe I being a little harsh  :-[

Anyone else still see us really vulnerable to the long ball?

Potentially with if oppo have a big lad up front there's no towering CB in there to deal with it. Team is set up to target second balls and drop downs rather than win the first header which is risky in Lges 1 and 2 IMO

Won’t repeat the obvious stuff already mentioned by most but...;

I wasn’t overly concerned compared to many when we were only losing narrowly but not creating much.
Then went full gloom in December when the results continued to be shit and no one from top to bottom of the club appeared to give a fuck.
Only one match in but the transfer activity so far does indicate that between Power, Jewell and Sheridan, they do have a vested interest in keeping us up and have reasonable confidence of us doing it.

Only major gripe from the game was Sheridan not making any changes again when it was clear pitman was fucked in that last 15 minutes. Easy to blame a defensive cock up from fryers for their 2nd, but like Ippo’s first, it was only a matter of time before one went in because the ball just kept coming back into our final 3rd immediately after clearing it. Hope should have been coming on (plus one or two others) in that last 10 to hold the ball up the other end of the pitch or at least chase Ippo defenders about. Don’t understand why the subs weren’t used. It’s so obvious.

Great win though.

I'd have thought that he is at least 4th choice so may want to move on.
Conroy and Fryers are 1st choice with Baudry and Odi probably the main back up.

Whilst Pitman was clearly blowing towards the end I assume he wasnt subbed off as Sheridan didn’t think Hope or Smith would have the same physical presence up there.

We looked pretty well organised for the first time this season which says something about Sheridan and TW getting an extended time with the players.

New additions added some spark to the dressing room as well as on the park.

I felt the defence looked immediately more confident with Travers in goal so he must have shown something in training which wasnt there before with Kovar.

Thompson was immense and should have been MOTM.

Twine's goal was absolute class. Teams will work out not to give him that much space and he didnt offer too much else just yet.

Pitman was very clever and he's clearly an intelligent player. The more time he gets in the legs I still think he'll come good, 90 minutes in the belt will do wonders.

Lyden back in there released Smith to do his thing and DJ was always a threat. What a great header and move for the goal.

The new lad at RB sounds like a proper signing, interesting that JS saw those areas as key rather than strengthening immediately at CB.

Dry January well and truly broken tonight.  :pint:




They have trained every day last week.
Jewell is taking a fair few sessions, read what you want from that but the players are definitely up for it and there is a togetherness.
Watched the last goal celebration and looked a tight unit.

Keeper looked decent, although hardly troubled. Great save from what I thought was the office change.

Caddis looked sharp going forward yet a yard off the pace in defence. Booking early probably didn’t help. Connory was solid. I barely noticed him which as a defender his probably a good think. Fryers was solid for the most part but a few dodgy moments

Thompson was solid defensively and decent going forward. Linked up well with DJ. Man of the Match for me.

Smith and Lyden were good in the middle. Got on the ball and kept it well (apart from the first 15 mins of the second half) as did Twine. Thought he looked extremely composed and playing deeper with the game and goal on front of him suites him a lot better than being out wide or further up front.

If Ronaldo has hit that we’d be seeing replayed if it for the next decade.

I thought Palmer was very good. His final ball was poor and he didn’t offer much going forward but I’ve played enough games on the wing myself to know you have those sort of games where you sacrifice going forward to offer extra cover to the full back. He did that very well and at no point would I have replaced him with a more attacking player.

DJ played well, apart from dicking about with it too much and giving it away for their first goal.

Our third goal summed up Pitmans entire game. Technically he didn’t do or offer a lot but he was effective. He was always there to challenge for the call, to put pressure on the defender, to get in the way.


We played very well first half. Although Pitman wasnt winning all the headers we were still picking up second ball, we didn’t do this half as well second half. It’s what ultimately lead to Ipswich getting it back to 1-1. At that point you wonder whether we are going to crumble or not. We might have but for Twine’s moment of magic.



This to me is spot on. Espescially Palmer. He helped out Caddis hugely . I think if this new right back is as good as we hope you will see Palmer be a lot more attack minded.

enjoyed that. was buzzing before the match after 2 weeks off and new signings. they didnt disappoint.

twine was no where near mom but a stunner to remember. looking forward to seeing what he can do the rest if the season.

pitman- 6 starts this season- 3 wins 2 losses and a draw. why did he play 90 though! he hasn't got into in his legs and we could have seen it out a little easier with fresh legs of hope or smith.

generally just nice to have players in positions. been waiting a month to see Conroy back in his cb position and he was brilliant. the goals were soft but it offers hope fo the season.

tough fixtures ahead, but we know anyone can beat anyone and it's time to clock some points up. it was a must win match league table wise and we did it.

Hopefully a step forward to more consistancy game to game in Jan as we're still in bottom 4 and games look tough but Saturday to Saturday should help. Need to get in wins before Tuesdsy loseday games in Feb.

A few more ins and outs this month I'm sure so might still be more change for Donny.

That said, we have had the luck of a one leafed clover on many levels so far this season so to actually get some was an added bonus. Even the bestest god given right to be top five premier league teams get their fair share + of luck. Just spunking 10’s of £m’s of pounds on players is not enough on its own.

Although Hope doesn’t have quite the same physical presence as Pitman, he’s got a great leap on him and has held the ball up well before when playing as a central lone striker. I’m just surprised Sheridan didn’t see that as an option considering the pressure we were under.

Even if Shez doesn’t rate the alternative options over what’s on the field, surely he can see when we’re under pressure and need some fresh legs or even just to break the flow of the game up and disrupt the opposition pressure. It concerns me that he doesn’t seem to see or is unwilling to react to very obvious problems.

Not too much else to complain about based on that performance though.

I'm in a WhatsApp group with a bunch of Ipswich fans and they were actually very complimentary of how we played. It was overall more on the "we lost it, you didn't win it" vibe at the end but I feel like anyone who loses to the worst team in the division would feel that way.

Excuse me. That’s the second worst team in division. Put some damn respect on our name 😤

Ipswich views.

Quote
Same old, same old but now against so-called lesser teams. I think the only player to get any credit out of that game would be Norwood who actually showed some desire to run at the Swindon defence.

The first goal for swindon tells you slot about the club at the moment
Poor marking poor leadership on the pitch not spotting the space poor tactics and team selection

It also tells me one team was intent on using their possession to hurt the opposition whereas the other simply wanted to use time up with theirs regardless of being behind or level in a game they should have been winning.

Good to see we haven’t been affected by the break - we’re still predictably sh*t. Any team who face us must have the easiest tactics - it’s simple, just let us have the ball because we’re soooo f**king slow and predictable.

Feck me what a goal.

To much time and space we are embarrassing

Thought we were going to go on and win. sh*t

I can’t believe it was his first goal scored since November 2018. Just our luck he waited till today.

For Swindon.
Been scoring for fun for Newport on loan apparently. Hence getting called back

you don't see that sort of strike every day of the week.

Embarrasing.

we are making Swindon look like Brazil.

I can’t believe how poor we are in defence, this is embarrassing and we’ve made it so easy for them.

This is not good enough particularly given the nature of today's opposition. You often why you bother but nothing new.

What a sad fall from grace for a great club.

Absolutely shocking result after such a long lay-off, and at Portman Road (if that matters)
Absolutely feckin shocking.

How much longer are we going to put up with this sh*t. Utter sh*t. Marcus evans needs to sort this decline that has been happening since he took charge. Awards lambert a 5 year contract. f**king 5 years!!! For doing what?? I wish my customers employed me for doing less than f*ck all. Lambert has no f**king clue, sticks with a stupid formation and playing style in league fuckin 1 instead of doing the basics right. We are not man city or barcelona. 1 up front at home against swindon who shop goals for fun. WHAT A d*ck. ive had it. f*ck off marcus evans and f*ck off lambert

Agreed also. Why the f*ck are we thinking we can pass ourselves a goal in League One. Christ- the level in League One is sh*t, but other teams must love us..... we’re so easy to work out. We seem to think we’re a PL side when we’re not.

Not being arrogant,but our players here are far better than most and we’re getting so little from them.

2 class goals from Swindon. At 1-1 Ipswich had the game in there grasp but defence giving too much time for the Swindon player to crack in the second.

Yesterday we had 63% of the possession, yet Swindon looked far more threatening and deserved to win. It’s bloody frustrating and pointless tactics. And yet we do the same thing every game.

Years back and on a final note I can still vividly recall watching a home game with Swindon and winning 6 - 2. This occurred early in the year most likely January and Mike Walker had just taken charge coming from Norwich. Something you remember, I was kind of hoping for a win yesterday although not by the same margin. Its not really embarrassment you just accept we're a soft touch too often and a team in sometimes disarray that is all too easy to pick off or despatch. It was good to be back in action though, despite the loss and further criticisms a game is better than no game. Hope for more from the Burton fixture next up, you got to try and remain upbeat about a situation.

We do see eye to eye but I am convinced he is doomed to fail now and while he was royally shafted by injuries it is unthinkable to go one up front against the likes of Burton and Swindon at home and get beaten or struggle to scrap a win, his tactical nous is embarrassing and the inability to mix it up when things are not working is non existent, there is very rarely an instance when you win the fans back after having lost them

Several of those comments don't seem to realise that Lambert didn't take the team for the match and likely hasn't prepared them on the training ground, so may have not had the normal kind of input as he would have liked. He's also still recovering from Covid I believe? Yet none of them appear to make reference to it; even as a marginal excuse.

Even we have given leeway to Town's current manager and his offield struggles. Ipswich fans seems a bit blinkered in life outside of football. Strange one considering the current worldwide plight but I don't know what the demographic consensus or attitudes towards Covid-19 is south-east of the Fens  :hmmm:

I thought that Sheridan was very negative in his post match interview, unwilling to give any credit to anyone, sounded like he couldn't wait to get away, I felt for Andrew who was getting nothing despite trying to ask probing questions, each time I felt Sheridan just batted it away

In this instance there is quite a valid reason why it might appear like that, and for the foreseeable post-match pressers (and in game commentary too).

You've lost me there. Unless you are referring to the loss of his parents, whch I'm still not sure I follow.

No, not that and not really regarding JS at all. More so why the responses might come across a little distant. The clue is in the  "and in game commentary too" :)

It's only annoying because you allow your curiosity to do so.

I have said there's a valid reason for it and that is that. If you wish to know, feel free to ask him but it is knowledge in the public domain and it has nothing to do with Sheridan per se.

I'm not even pertaining to be ITK. I'd suspected there was an issue when listening to another teams commentary and subsequent P-MP. All in the ears.

By all means let it annoy you (not just you, I'm using it collectively) but don't blame me for that :)

I didn't think that. I think he said he didn't like to single people out when he thought it was a collectively good performance. He then went on to names 3 or 4 people as an example.

That was in response to a question, which was, is everything fixed now we have a different goalkeeper? Do you think that if you had a better goalkeeper during the rest of the season Swindon would have got more points?

If I was manager, I wouldn't hang someone out to dry either!
