Dahnsouff

Agree. There are multiple ears listening who need to be told things, perhaps the same things, in different ways. Any signalling to the press/ fans by calling out players who underperform has the risk of upsetting his work force, like in any workplace, it’s a fine line.

Could not give a toss personally about bragging rights, be it for winning the cup nor the league, just want what (I imagine) is best for the future of the club.

Maybe it is as simple as the Cup is for the fans, whereas promotion for the club('s future). Which is a bit shitty

Cynical perhaps, but money equates to success, be it in the League or to a very very slightly lesser degree, the Cup. Yes it would be great to have another FA cup, but that is an instant benefit, the promotion is for the clubs future (Like it or not)

It seemed like there was a clear shift in mindset once we had scored (happy to be corrected, maybe it came later), so very confused why this would be so pronounced as this was not the case earlier. My fear is that this is confidence, as if its broken now, fixing it during the run in seems difficult.

Side Note - ReadyToGo largely say no pen, likely because he did his silly swan dive. You can always tell when the majority of opposition fans say "We would have been fuming if it had/hadn't been given against us"

But not the previous 80 of Ipswich’s

Different kettle of fish

That is what I was reading, but fans see the last 10 minutes and beat our club with it.

They got schooled before that

Apparently the Ipswich game was rubbish first half, and they should have lost. The last 10 minutes is not necessarily indicative of the whole game.

Ipswich are great.

OG for Ipswich.

Yes, and I cannot conceive of why!!

Ipswich losing, Stoke have a player sent off.

Sunderland are awful cheats, who knew?

They are filthy on the worst possible way, very very disappointed with Sunderland. Utter cheating all game.

That was not shoulder to shoulder, it was in his back, it was a foul. Silly from Vardy.

Reckon some watch Motd and think that’s real time.

We dropped off / they stepped up a bit, after the goal, but the story of that half was the Homer with the whistle

Mads having a mare at the moment

Sounds like Gerry keeps having a sneaky bite of a pork pie mid commentary

Doyle might be suspect defensively but his passing is stunning

Let’s keep this up now lads.

Some ball by Doyle, but christ
