  1. It’s cost us a chance of a play off place no doubt about it. We’ve lost close meetings the last couple of months with Riss (a 6 pointer) scoring next to nothing. I really don’t know what’s gone on here cos Louis has always been quick to change things in the past when things aren’t going well but this year he’s done nothing. I found his quotes very strange also recently that we “Have” to go with what we’ve got, almost as if it’s out of his hands..
  2. It’s a shame but King has become the fall guy for years of failure at Foxhall. He’s been a great servant and the failure to win anything as a team certainly hasn’t been his fault, but the groans on the terraces have grown louder the last couple of years so I think it’s best for all concerned if they both have a fresh break. Probably won’t happen though..
  3. Hawkins had work commitments for his proper job that he actually gets paid for.
  4. Mountain guests for Andersen. Terrible choice, Mountain hates Foxhall and has never gone well here.
  5. We lost again not because of King, but because we’re continuing to carry an unfit 6 point man who is contributing next to nothing.
  6. That’s exactly the kind of thing Doyle has been accused of “dropping it” in the GP’s when he’s come under pressure.
  7. Not from a result point of view and it isn’t in doubt. Will be a good watch though as it always is here so well worth tuning in.
  8. Interesting. Louis has done the after meeting thoughts for the last meeting, as well as the preview for Mondays meeting on the official site instead of Hawkins.
  9. Any changes have to made by July 31st. No changes permitted after this date.
  10. Can only be one really, a 5 pointer for Riss. Unless they chop Doyle or Emil and re-declare the 1-7 with more changes which I can’t see them doing. But I’d definitely swap out Riss and try out a promising 5 pointer from somewhere. I mean, why not?
  11. Louis did say pre-season he’d try and fit in the 16 lapper this year. Hope so. I don’t normally like individual meetings but that is one event I’ve loved since I was a kid and still do.
  12. A minor miracle. It will take Ipswich being nigh on unbeatable home and away from now on, whilst relying on one of the top four collapsing like a pack of cards. I’d rather they now had an eye on next year and tried out a couple of fresh faces from abroad. That would at least keep interest going for the remainder of the season.
  13. He said this on radio Suffolk over a month ago too. We’ve had issues since the season started and to be fair, it’s been unlike Louis not to act. He’s normally been quick to act when it’s been needed in the past. Any change now is too late unfortunately.
  14. The side that was built would be in the play offs if all went to plan. The problem has clearly been not being proactive enough to correct two glaring problems, Riss and the rising star. Riss is a 6+ pointer let’s not forget, and can be a match winner on his day. Nobody could foresee the issues he has had this year. Again the problem has been not replacing him quick enough and it’s cost us as well as not going for better available options when Thomas was injured before the season even started.
  15. I know Woofy isn’t the force he was, but isn’t he on good looking 7.something average?
  16. Doesn’t fit. As much as changes need to be made, very few options seem available. Batch for Riss looks to be the only worthwhile change.
  17. If he’s interested then you have to sign him. Would hate to see him riding for someone else here. Think it’s a long shot though as he might be a bit busier next year.
