Great to see Ipswich continue their push for promotion.

On paper it has to be the toughest race for promotion in a long time with the squads and budgets of Leeds (39m), Leicester (60m) and saints (40m) Ipswich are fighting with a relatively tiny playing budget of 11 million, Incredible really

He should be - he's quality.
Like the bloke, great instinctive finish but he was sub again and in his brief cameo, he fell over before that and has looked a bit lightweight in other games.

I hope he's given the chance, but he's got a lot ahead of him to be a starter here

He should be with us not bloody Ipswich.
Why? He can barely get in their starting line up (and much the same with WBA) and scoring a last minute winner doesn't make someone Premier League standard. Presumably RDZ had the option of keeping him for the second half of the season but decided against. I'd love to think he could come back and stake a claim to a starting spot with us but I have my doubts.

Yeah - came on 88th minute against 10 men Saints with a fairly lucky goal. He’s pretty much been coming on off the bench for Ipswich

It's not a goal that screams "this guy should be playing in the Premier League".

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood.

Not in Whitechapel
Had 20 quid on Plymouth to get relegated at 11/2 in January, cashout was as low as £3 in Feb. Not looking too bad now though…


Which makes it annoying that I cashed out when it went back to £20 a while ago so I could lump on a horse when I couldn’t deposit.

Easy come, easy go.

Loving the Championship this year...Exciting promotion and relegation fights and NO VAR !

With my Dutch hat (not cap) on I wonder why Summerville from Leeds can't get in the Netherlands 25 for the Euros yet Wout Weghorst can :oops:

Probably needs a loan at USG first
Nah. Never mind the lad's development. Loan him to Leeds - they'll go frantic, think he's Leeds through and through, provide solid entitled Yorkshire entertainment, think they'll get him for 10p, and then have to splash out on a half price German replacement when they finally realise they can't buy Sarmiento, and then get relegated.

Job's a good'un.

Bamford's miss on 24 mins was so bad, he must have had a bet on the game.

It's the only explanation. Well, either that or he's useless.

Nothing lucky about that. It was a very good strike after he fell over and got up again. Don't be so ungenerous.
