Desperately want our line up in 5 years to be:

Casanova Parrott Piesold

Purely based on names. Piesold just makes me chuckle every time.
For the same reasons, it's always annoyed me that Shaq Coulthirst never made it with us.

In fairness to him he has our u23s playing better football than our actual first team.
WE normally have disjointed U23s team as we keep boys there , that are not good enough to be there and no one wants them on Loan . Which leads to a mis match of boys . This year has been different as boys have proved to be good enough to be taken on loans , which enabled us to keep the younger ones ,who are decent, together , so they know how each other play and it’s worked , so has been to those boys, an advantage really . Sticking the likes of maghoma , TOB ,In a mis match team would prove the same fate as before . The markanday type player would do better , but still struggle as we saw last night , due to size even though being a decent player . The reason we doing well is not Burnett, it’s that that team have been mainly playing together from very young age , and have got rid of the Deadwood and the better players have gone on Loan

Shocking ,absolutely appalling defending for both the Ipswich goals. BLF has had two horror moments in the space of two games.

BLF just looks so Skinny. He’s gonna have to massively bulk up to have any chance or mover to FB or midfield.

Me and my friend went and Eyoma was a cut above anyone else on the pitch in our opinion. Did you see the game?
He would have been man of the match if it was not for the one big mistake,I had Whiteman as mine,he mad some good saves and played very well but he also made one big mistake but he was lucky and got away with his.

Personally I’m not worried about a mistake from a young player. He will learn. We were both very impressed with him. He fought well in the air against players often bigger than him. Read the game very well and pretty much won everything that came near him. Also was impressed with his ability on the ball, very very calm. I’d say he showed everything you would be wanting to see from a young CB. Pleasing to see as him and Tanganga look promising!

Others know I am not a Eyoma or Whiteman fan but both had a very good game.

It was a good turnout from the Spurs fans and I know there was a hell of a lot of players family members in the stand as well.
One thing I will say the Ipswich sausage rolls are F**king terrible.

I'm more worried about Eyoma's defending on the 2nd goal than BLF's to be honest. He's two years further down the line and needs to be cutting out the Maghoma mistakes.

Bit of a dig there Rhino me old China. What’s the beef with Maghoma? The coaches seem to think he is a prospect.

Can someone enlighten me on the status of Yago de Santiago. Last I heard he was awaiting a work permit, if so, its taking a long time.

Does anyone know about this 14 year old Nigerian we have allegedly signed? Temidire Emmanuel Okuwa Is his name.

Been at West Ham the last 9 years and apparently trained with us and Chelsea before signing for us?

Just had no idea if this was true or not, and if so, if anyone knows much about him?
Cheers guys!

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I see the megabus mentalist has written his Ipswich review.

  • Brooklyn Lyons-Foster: Another very solid performer, this time at LCB. Brooklyn Lyons-Foster marshalled the back line well and like Eyoma he contributed to the game by making some important and well timed interceptions. Lyons-Foster was also good in the air.
