Fleck presumably done now. I know he was on the bench but still not fit for the last game (odd thing to do) but a fortnight on, being unable to at least make the bench suggests he's losing his battle sadly.


Slightly surprised at the side. Can't see why Banks isn't playing. I'd have probably kept Colclough on the bench given his importance to us is likely to ramp up significantly and played Drummond/Mandeville wide instead.

It is the hope that kills

Perhaps they are just looking to get most of the squad some game time before Saturday as by the sound of it they haven't been able to do match training last week.

I hope to God Fleck is on some sort of ?1k pw + large appearance fee sort of set up

If we can get Naylor back into midfield alongside one of Mandeville/Banks/Oldaker and revert back to the more usual 4-2-3-1 it shouldn't be an issue. We've not had him to feel like we're missing anything.

Anyone wound up or annoyed at the Fleck signing is daft! It was a gamble, it hasn?t worked and we move on! It obviously hasn?t stopped us bringing other players in either! If the lad had been fit it had the potential to be the best signing in the division this season!

People need to get a grip and stop trying to find nonsense to moan about!

I?d rather take a gamble and it not come off than not take one and end up feeling like the Deedar clubs when one passed on Maradona and the other passed on Cantona!

Granted Jon ,but at least donacien was training all summer with Ipswich,yes I know we can't sack a player a injured player at that but why give a player a contract ,after 15 minutes you could see fleck wasn't right,week after week we keep hearing fleck close to squad fitness ,we didn't hear which year ,poor judgement

Fleck out warming up on the pitch.

Berry loitering by the home dugout.

Anybody help?
I have full Sky Sports, I can get tonights match on the Sky Sports App on TV, but cant get a link on my PC or I-pad. When I go to the match, it says watch live, but then goes to the main Sky Sports channels.

I have had the issue before, but seem to stumble on the live video without knowing what I?ve done.

Cheers

You watch games via the Sky sports app on an iPad not Sky Go and you have to be signed in with your Sky account.

Poor start. Millers had 2 great chances.

[Cartman]

Not the worst start

Pepple looks perfect for our formation, strong and mobile! Few decent moves down left, couple of woeful crosses from Colclough!

Positive stuff mixed in with some silly mistakes that have given them chances

I am in Sky Sports app, no video offering just -teams, table, stats, and betting.
It says get Sky Sports+ but I have it on the TV.

Now Pepple misses a sitter after our first good attacking move

We?re setting in to it now. Naylor has played a couple of hospital passes but we?re doing ok.

To be fair to Sheffield United, they agreed a fee for him at the age of 17 (big money back then) and only didn't go through with it as they were asked to stump up extra fees over and above that agreed. Boring but true 😆

Sorry but what do you know? You?re not the manager of this club, so you need to trust Cooks judgement.
Just give it a rest, its boring
