[Mile End Wanderer]

3 minutes added in the CL semis, 11 in the Championship.

Sam Morsy ex Wolves academy?? Made a decent career for himself. Soon to be Premier League midfielder

These players should be sent off immediately

3 minutes added in the CL semis, 11 in the Championship.

Crazy. 3 goals - 2 of which were pen decisions to check, and 6 subs

 

[Planty]

Mickey Owen reckons it's never in doubt when Kane takes a penalty... the exception being world cup quarter finals

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Ipswich already wasted at least 3 mins of this added time which should be added on

 

[TelfordWolf]

Come on Ipswich. **** Leeds.

 

[Compton wanderer]

Ipswich heading for the richest game in football alongside the championship play off final.......... and they only need a point out of it!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Come on Ipswich. **** Leeds.

WAHLS

Congratulations to Ipswich

 

[RosehillWolf]

Well done Ipswich

 

[Starsky]

Love to see it.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Ref blows up 2 minutes early.

Cheats and time wasting prosper in this country with our weak refs

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Our Norwich rivals won’t be happy lol

 

[SmokeyGB]

Leeds hoping that local hated team Huddersfield will help them out..
You've got no chance of that occurring, Huddersfield fans want to lose and see Leeds miss out.

 

[Skrilla]

Ipswich a draw away from automatic promotion. What an incredible achievement that is. Not been talked about enough really, they're competing with three clubs with massive budgets and Premier League quality in Leicester, Leeds and Southampton.

 

[Watfordfc]

That must be Ipswich promoted.

Just need a point

As for the injury time read UEFA don’t like having endless amounts of it like we do .

 

[SmokeyGB]

Living in Leeds - Love it!!!

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

CL semi with a calm and competent referee and zero VAR drama despite two penalty checks. If only…

 

[Watfordfc]

Have you ever thought about being a ref?

In the space of 24 hours it will be like going from Sherlock Holmes to Inspector Clouseau

 

[Wandsworth Wolf]

I worked with a guy last year who was a huge lifelong Ipswich fan. He was really excited about the season ahead.
Sadly, just as the season got underway, he died suddenly.
So cruel that he didn’t get to see them promoted to the Prem this year (fingers crossed for you Mark).

Knowing my luck, Wolves will win the FA Cup the year after I go.

Booked you skydiving lessons.

 

[Monketron]

I know they were distracted by their cup run but Coventry have actually lost 5 of their last 7 league games, a complete collapse. Their only win was against Leeds (ha).

 

[topcat99]

Norwich can cement a playoff place with a point against Birmingham on Saturday. Relegating Birmingham (unless Plymouth lose by 5 goals).

Fun and games

Huddersfield are probably on the beach too. They need a 15 goal swing to overtake Plymouth.

I have a Leeds supporting mate. He’s resigned to them losing in the Playoffs

I just hope that it’s not against Albion

 

[Matt]

Really glad Ipswich seem to have got over the line. Having said that I really wanted Forest to go up and now I can’t stand them so I look forward to hating Ipswich in 6 months time.

Leeds will win the playoffs I think, they are a lot better than anyone else in them. Hopefully Norwich do though as that will be one of the relegation places sorted for next season.

Asking me to pick a team I want to see win out of Leeds v Albion is like being asked while they are still attached to me , would I like my testicles deep fried or flame grilled

Dirty Leeds get my vote and then go on to lose to Southampton or Norwich in the final

I have just been reading that Ipswich Town have spent less than £5m in transfers during the last two seasons. The fact that they look like securing back to back promotions despite having no parachute payments speaks well of how the club is run.

Kieran McKenna also took over at Portman Road with the Tractor Boys in the lower half of league one. He has done an amazing job with very little money.

Well done Ipswich and Kieran McKenna, proving you don’t have to spend millions to gain success.

Clearly a very good coach

As is the Ipswich manager, Kieran.



He started his coaching career when he was just 22 so he already has 15 years of coaching experience under his belt - a novice First Team Coach / Manager but definitely an experienced and knowledgeable coach.

Hang on Five minutes @Oh When the Wolves has just been asked to speak Stockley Park about the decision.

My apologies for the incorrect spelling of his name.

Wasn’t Kieran McKenna on the Manchester United coaching staff previously?

Defensive coach apparently under OGS which seems strange as his teams are anything but!

 

[Ginger Chimp]

I believe that he retired from playing while at Spurs, took a degree, went back to Spurs (having spent time coaching at Leicester and Forest whilst on his degree) then moved to Man Utd.

Also their U18s coach. If you look at a lot of young coaches backgrounds many of them at one point managed/coached either Man Utd or Liverpool's youth teams. Our own GON for one! Not sure how relevant a stat that is though.

Great academies as seeing from the talent coming out of both

Absolutely but it's weird that the coaches are so sought after? I wonder if it's caused by football club owners own bias that a Utd or Liverpool coach must be 'better' than average. Historical data of good coaches coming out of these academies probably help perpetuate owners going for future ones and the cycle continues. Having access to better players must help you look better as a coach too.

Maybe even hoping that hiring a coach from these clubs might get you access to picking a few youth players up - that was (one of) the reasons Wolves hired Sellars right? almost immediately we took a few of City's players into our academy.

Beale a fine example of this. Good coach poor manager. Like TC good coach poor manager. Now this head coach things complicates things. Sometimes they need an older head next to them like we’ve got Gaz and Derry

 

[RosehillWolf]

The yellow wall. Absolutely stunning
