RabMohr, you do remember you lost to my Ipswich even before that Stoke defeat, don't you? And like you said I've gotten a good run of results lately, including the 2-0 easy victory over Coventry.

What's really helped was the signing of Alvaro from Swedish side Helsingborg for an undisclosed fee, he has really set the Nationwide alight with his great performances, 4 games, 4 goals and 4 assists. :eek:

At the same time Marcus Bent came back from injuries, so they have formed a deadly parthership with eachother. I reckon that if I can keep the results coming for a few months I'll be challenging for the second spot and auto qualification for the EPL. The story continues on thursday and I'm full of confidence...

Damn was I ****ed last night, my Internet provider had some problems with their connections, so my connection was down all night. Just got it back this morning. So how was yesterday's sessions? And it somebody would be kind enough to say how I did.

Well, I'm around the 6-8 places and I think it's pretty fair to say my team is underperforming a bit. Don't know whether it's my fault or the players' fault but those damn woodheads better get their act together and guide me to the playoffs.

Cause I wasn't in the last session my assistant dcided to sell my captain Holland for 2.2M pounds and while it's good money I still think it was a bad thing for the club cause he was the leader. Though, with the money I already bought Andreas Isaksson to the goal and I got another player coming, so it might turn out allright. Also Wolwes offered me Paul Ince for free, and I decided he's going to get Holland's role as the leader and hopefully with his experience and fighting spirit we can guide Ipswich back to the Premiership.

So, we got 7 or 8 games left and hopefully we'll win all of them and secure our place in the playoffs. We'll see on monday...

Also, we got 7 players in our game right now and yet only Moncs, Rabmohr, me and Elite are updating this thread on a regular basis, so I would really hope that the rest of the guys also start writing here. Come on guys, it can't be that hard!

Well last session was booooring. Ended the session with 4 draws, 0-0 three times (last one against Coventry, they aren't that good)and 1-1 once, yaaaawn! Had only one victory against Norwich at home, wich honestly could have ended 6-0. Ended just 1-0.

Inconsistency that's the word that sums up Notts Forest. We will go on a good run of games then suddenly CRASH lose 2-3 games then draw 2-3 games, so instead of looking at the play-offs we are looking at mid-table safty.
Look at last Thursday's games won the 1st 3 then lose the next two.
By the why i have to say that if i had got a certain mr J.Davis earlier i might have done better (he scored 6 out of my 8 goals including 3pens on thurs).
So lets hope for a good end to the season, and start a fresh next year, rebuilding a team for an assult into the EPL.

Damn it! We really had it going in the end of the season (finished the league as 4th) but guess my boys just froze when it came down to it. Really had no chance against Leicester, we simply played like sh**e.

My congratulations to Rab and his Coventry for making it to EPL. (I'd also like to get my hands on that TV-money action :p)
So next season. There can't be any other objective than EPL. Mine objective this season was to MAYBE reach the playoffs and we did that, that's ok and i should be happy, but... I wan't EPL!!

So as manager for Millwall I announce that next season, we will win a promotion, that's my goal, thats's my will AND we will do it. It won't be easy, as i'm sure that moncs and oj may have something to say about that. Maybe even Razor with his Nottingham will be in for a shout. But if Stewart's Grimsby will be is veeeery doubtful. As he self said, "trying to do some miracles with this team". Good luck

Well see you guys on Monday!

Hi guys, any chance i could join your game?

retired_ritabiz

Yep, what can I say, inm y opinion I had a very good team in my hands but throughout the season we could only see glimbses of excellence from Ipswich and then a lot of extremely frustrating results. Well, atleast I can take comfort in the fact that I got a very good team in my hands and not many signings are needed in in the summer. Maybe only a few loans and I'm set.

Also as I made a lot of signings throughout the season maybe the team didn't gel as a unit yet, so that should also be sorted for the next season and if I don't get Ipswich back to the EPL next season, then it's pretty safe to say I'm a total failure as the Ipswich manager...

But we start our pre season tomorrow and hopefully it will be all good from now on.
