HoylandOwl Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 Some Ipswich injury news... Goalkeeper Christian Walton (foot), defender Janoi Donacien (groin) are both looking likely to miss out, the mardy midfielder Wes Burns (hamstring) COULD play, as could former Owl George Hirst, who is to be assessed before kick off.

HoylandOwl Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 Interesting to see Xisco talk about specifics when asked about formations / training earlier today. XM: "This week we have been working (in training) with a defence of four. You never know and it's important the team is able to play different formations. It depends on the players what you have. We were more solid but I think also we are solid with a 4-3-3. We will see (against Ipswich). It's about the opponents we play too." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's either us playing 3 at the back then or it's a double bluff and we're sticking with a 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercockle Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 21 hours ago, HoylandOwl said: I really enjoy Xisco’s press conferences. Fuckwittery from the press notwithstanding, if you watch them from start to finish you get a good feel about what he’s trying to do. He’s creating a style and system for the club, an identity. This is something he wants to run throughout the club. We’re looking to build for the future, not just for the season. I found some of the stuff about the under 21s and loans really interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 There aren’t many people that get to me with their opinions. But this bloke from the above, does. He rants and raves and constantly slags us off, no matter what. He’s also been on Sky sports as an ‘championship expert’ type thing. Expert? Nah. He’s just an over-opinionated whopper.

HoylandOwl Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 Ipswich manager admits 'they've not beaten us yet'.... “We’ve played three times in the last 18 months and we haven’t managed to beat them yet, so that leaves us really clear about the scale of the challenge,” McKenna said on the period of time since he has been in the job at Portman Road. “We know how powerful they can be, we know the strengths of their individual players, we know the impact that the crowd can have on things there, but we also know that we can go there and play good football and take control of it because we did that for a large part last year.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Looks like a 5-4-1/5-2-3 to me as per Leeds. Paterson and Delgado as wing backs, Windass and Gregory wide and Smith down the middle. He’s expecting Ipswich to dominate the ball hence the set-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 Marv Johnson just walked across the front of the Kop, not in Wednesday gear… Momo Diaby and Djeidi Gassama just before him, had Wednesday gear on. Although, Diaby did have a crutch and a space boot on his injured ankle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 It was shit from Paterson and Palmer. Paterson is stood in no man’s land, and Palmer gets caught in no man’s land when they get behind Paterson. Dreadful display. Uncoached again. After two weeks on the training ground I was expecting to see a plan in possession. There isn’t one apart from the big diagonal onto Pato. When we have the ball we offer zero. Hendrick, Byers, Paterson, Smith and Palmer have been appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellsview Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 How does that saying go, if you buy cheap you buy twice? I’m beginning to think that more and more about Xisco. We’ve got to start seeing something better on the pitch soon. Ipswich could easily have been 1-0 up in the first minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
