Midfielder Evans Leaves Town
at 14:41:33

It's a shame, he's a lovely player. The pass for Freddie to run onto at Reading in the Carabao was utterly sublime.

Good luck Lee!

Rosenior: Ipswich Are Going to Be an Outstanding Team this Season
at 16:31:38

Great to hear honest opinions about George Hirst's impact again. Dean Holden was equally open after we put 6 past Charlton last season, and if opposition managers are talking about him like that it must've been really obvious to them. Long may it continue.

Ball to Discuss Book at Charity Event
at 12:12:41

A friend of mine died from Sarcoma. It's cancer of the connective tissues, so ligaments and cartilage. I saw him shortly before he went into a hospice, and he was like a skeleton. He was only in his early 50s, but it took him very quickly. I'll be buying the book, that's for sure.

Reading 2-2 Ipswich Town (1-3 on Penalties) - Match Report
at 11:14:44

I'm surprised there's been no mention of the foul on Fridge for the second goal. He was taken down from behind blatantly, and the lad carried on and scored. Fridge complained to the ref so much after the goal that he was shown a yellow card before the restart.
Hutchinson looks good, but there's very little end product so far. His decision making isn't very good, but presumably that will improve over time with coaching and experience.
One little observation in support of Evans - at one point in the second half Slicker had the ball at his feet about 16yds out, looking for a pass; Evans was 20 yards in front of him and was beckoning him forwards, so that at least one Reading player would be drawn to the ball and out of position. Nice to see.
His pass for Freddie's goal was absolutely perfect as well btw, giving Ladapo a one-touch finish.

Woolfenden: I Enjoyed the Goal, Gaffer Says I Should Score More
at 22:47:09

Phil, can I make a suggestion? The use of "admitted" is common in journalism, in ways that don't correlate with the actual meaning of the word. It means a response to an accusation; not to a suggestion, but to an accusation. I'd like to offer "reflected" as an alternative in this sort of context, just because I want TWTD to be even better than it already is.

You probably don't get a lot of positive feedback, but as a long-time Suffolk exile (I live in Berkshire) I rely on TWTD totally, and have done for decades. I don't know what I'd do if you packed it in and took up macrame, or something. :-)

McKenna: We Set a Good Tone For the Season

Having subscribed to TownTV, I logged on yesterday expecting to watch the match - only to find that video was Not Available In Your Region!! Have I missed something, or has Berkshire declared independence or something?

McKenna: First Half of Season Form Shouldn't Be Overlooked
at 16:55:05

You have to admire the consistency of his tone in these interviews. Never too high, never too low. He clearly takes that approach in the dressing room before, during and after games as well, which must give the players huge quantities of self-belief.

Holden: A Humbling Experience
at 15:51:16

I love that comment about the effect that Hirst has on the opposition. It's clear we're a better team if he's playing. I just hope we can keep him, he could be vital next season.

Minute's Applause in Tribute to Motson at MK

I never liked him, to be honest. He never seemed like he really understood how football is played. Barry Davies was head and shoulders above him, in my opinion.

Town Confirm Davis Signing
at 09:22:08

He comes across well, seems like a well-adjusted guy.

I think it's very positive that the manager was clearly determined to sign him, even though Leigh had already arrived. He clearly has plans for the team, and he obviously doesn't want to compromise.

It's a shame for Penney but I suppose he's a player that wasn't signed by Kieran McKenna, so maybe he wasn't happy with what he had.

Cook: A Little Bit Surprised By Amazing Support

The great thing about away games is that more of the singers travel, then at the game they are all penned in close together and that's why the songs take hold so readily. Love it

Beattie Statue Unveiling Close as Co-op Make Big Donation
at 09:20:51

It's brilliant how collaborative this has been. It's the exact opposite of what Al Fayed did at Fulham, for example, imposing a statue on the club that no-one actually wanted.

It looks like it will be an impressive piece of work, and a fitting tribute to a great man.

Cook: We Would Still Expect Players to Come Through the Door
at 11:55:22

I don't blame Cook for doing that at all. If he says something about someone's injury this week, he'll be unable to rebuff questions about it every time a microphone is stuck in his face for weeks. It's a waste of his time, and a waste of ours too.

Realistically, all pre-match interviews are pretty formulaic because, as Cook says, you don't want to give anything anyway.

He's making sure that the players don't come under any extra pressure too. All he wants them to do is focus, focus, focus on the game, the drills, the patterns.
