*~*~* Ipswich v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[rubberface]

He actually ran at their defence a couple of times. I can’t recall anyone else doing that all game.

Thought Beale was this great tactictian?? Just like for like for Mowbray.

 

[Chewit]

Ba

Rusyn on bench

Beyond me, had he done this v Mags it made sense.. if he goes Leeds set up today I will be flabbergasted

 

[RedandWhiteRebel]

I'm pissed off before a ball has been kicked.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Anyone know why Jewi hasn’t had a percent of the chances Ba and Jobe have?

 

[rentaghost]

So much for their injuries they have loads of attacking power on the bench. Sarmiento is excellent and Harness and Lapado are handy options to have.

 

[CissesUnderpants9]

Dropped Rusyn, a striker who scored in the last league game, for BA, ffs!

 

[sofatester]

Jobe has needed taking out of the team for about a month. Just so slow and doesn’t really create considering he’s meant to be the 10

If he wasn't Bellinghams brother he would have been

 

[hallix]

Looks like it’s not a TM new manager bounce anyway? So is it a Beale master stroke with a Ba master performance!!

 

[Sunderland06]

Beale is a joke.

 

[ajsafc]

Burstow still here is a major problermo

 

[MarcoG]

Last time the board was in full agreement that the team looked awful was Norwich away last year so let's hope for a similar result eh?

 

[beezer]

Have to feel for Rusyn. Was probably happy at home with his family, we chased him all summer, paid a decent fee for him to take him to a country where he doesn’t speak the language, then despite him looking the best of a bad bunch, give him a couple of games here and there, but mostly drag him round the country while he gets splinters in his arse.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Have we not named a full bench of subs?

Defnitely 9 subs in Becs OP

 

[bowers2]

Although it appears a poor move, I can fully understand this.

Against them, we didn't have a right hand side midfielder. Pritchard started there but moved inside. Left us very exposed. BA was the natural choice.
However, the sun should have been getting Bellingham out of the team and starting a striker.

The entire problem with this team is not having a defensive midfield player. The three we are playing in Ekwah, Bellingham and Neil leave us very very exposed.

Ba isn't the problem. I'd have played him and Ryan today

 

[Geppetto]

Really surprised Rusyn's not playing.

Not surprised Ba's playing. Hope he has a good game.

 

[Yankee]

Jobe has needed taking out of the team for about a month. Just so slow and doesn’t really create considering he’s meant to be the 10

There's been daft rumours his contract says he has to play every game. It makes you wonder...

 

[Herberthall]

He’s dropped Rusyn for Ba wtf? Honestly man they’re absolutely f***ing desperate to get Ba into the team.

Rusyn finally starts looking like a decent player and he’s dropped

No...to keep Bellingham in the team

 

[SunderLad92]

Honestly hope Ba finally proves me wrong and has a decent game but I've been saying that for that long now, if he actually does have a good performance It'll still be more a feeling of "About f***ing time" than Ba is actually a decent player.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

What are our crack recruitment team doing here? We went nearly all last season without a striker and now after signing four, three different managers have decided they’d rather play without any?
Just get your f***ing fingers out and sign someone capable of starting in the second tier of English football every week.
