There’s a danger that the clubs that came up could be another Skid Mark 3 this season. All 3 losing today, they all look a bit shit and could easily all go again.
Give Ipswich a chance. They just played two of the top teams :lol:
I just think after 2 successive promotions they’re going to find themselves massively out of their depth. I’d imagine nobody in their wildest dreams thought they’d come straight up again after getting out of league 1. Once t he grind of the season kicks in they’ll be annihilated.

Embarrassing for Ipswich. Keeper nowhere again, he could be subbed soon.
Muric was awful last season, total liability.watched them quite a bit as one of my local teams and he's error prone making a mistake or 2 a game. Big fck ups like ramsdale but far worse and none of the good bits.

Baffling as belive they made a loan move permanent in summer to keep him when he was always their weakest link. He's utter gash and the guy Walton who played last week and was the keeper in l1 I think but was injured last season I think mostly.

Edit I got that totally wrong they had another gash Eastern European keeper last year hladky who left...music was signed from Burnley...my mistake!

Agreed but they are spalsihing the cash but it seems mostly on players who don't look on paper good enough, championship quality players. Broja won't score the goals they need that's for sure he's crap as well.

The deal for Broja looks like it's off, something came up during his medical for Ipswich

What they need is a striker with premier league experience, the odd England cap, who won’t look out of place when they drop like a stone to the championship…. :rubchin:

Good to see the Saudi blood money is still good for a dodgy VAR decision or 2 again this season. Nice few quid for the refs again after that.

Disgraceful decision at Bournemouth - a clear winner ruled out.

Hopefully that odious piece of scum Joelinton has his kneecap shattered in the next game.
Preferably whilst clattering forehead first into Tindalls Turkey teeth
