Pre Ipswich Town squad report- TWTD

[Neecha]

Anyone else catch this earlier today. I found the comments of some of our players slightly degrading & peppered with back handed compliments.

Your thoughts?

I might be mistaken, but aren't they all quotes about our own players from our own forums?

It does read like an amalgamation of NSC reactions after a few good results (i.e. generally good but a bit moany.)

Quite an interesting guide to mostly the negative comments on here.

This pic is the highlight though...

That must have taken an age to put together.

Completely agree with last post. Most of the article is in quotes! A very time consuming, and out of context way of writing a match preview. I guess the writer has just done a forum search for each player and cut and pasted the most recent comments.

It's more of an interesting comment on our forum posts than our players - in that regard it's quite interesting. Would have liked to have seen his summary of Barnes if he were still here:

e.g.

Ashley Barnes was "clumsy, fat and stupid" in their win at Wigan, and despite scoring a brace against Blackburn is "the most pointless player in the universe", "a complete waste of genetic makeup" and "just not championship quality."

I think I'm quoted three times!

Who wrote this shit? That picture of Ulloa though

Who wrote this shit?

It's the collective wisdom of NSC.

It's the collective wisdom of NSC.

Christ, no wonder. I like the idea but it seems rather far from reality.

Fair play, that's some quality content for the Ipswich fans to read. Must have taken ages to put together. In the comments some of their fans are saying a draw would be a good result, I think they're slightly overestimating us. We seem to have been riding our luck a little in the past few games, although the results do speak for themselves.

Ashley Barnes was "clumsy, fat and stupid" in their win at Wigan, and despite scoring a brace against Blackburn..........

...now you are in the realms of fantasy,........

It's definitely just been whipped wholesale from here. I'm pretty sure I sad PIGs shot stopping is Premier class but his distribution is Conference class. Or I did a this or thumbs up to it. And why not? It's true.

It's just weird when you distill multiple posts down to this it kind of turns into a paranoid jittery schizophrenic evaluation of a player.

If someone did this for each of our upcoming opposition teams I know I'd read it. I'm often guilty of not knowing enough about the opposition players and which people to look out for. It's also good to understand what the fans are currently thinking of their squad.

That picture of Leo is brilliant too!

There's a lot of work gone into that - hundreds of quotes stitched together, including one of my own. This bloke listens to me more than my wife!

If the aim of that article is to brief IT fans on what to expect on Saturday then I think it works very well.

Agree. Think it's an excellent idea and format. Could be tweaked with more introductory comments outside of the quotations for each player, but otherwise a great idea.

That is brilliant

That is brilliant

Was trying to work out who the keeper is: it's David Forde of Millwall, isn't it? Wonder if it was taken just after we got that penalty at the Den.
