Happy with Donohue and Kirk!
Parsons getting another Championship appointment before making
his debut! Must be right at the top of the list!

If Ipswich want to get promoted, our 100% defeat rate with
Donohue in charge will have to change. No complaints with him in
the middle at all though. I’ll be in the away end on Saturday
and will be my second live viewing of Donohue (hopefully much
better than the first).
And as I predicted, Tom Kirk for our massive game down on the
south coast with it potentially a winner takes all clash.
Tom Parsons in line for promotion? He has another championship
game.
Nield, Herczeg and Madley with games that have something on the
line. (And Hallam)

Kirk with the huge game at St Mary’s, and a decent game for
Allison at Coventry.
Kitchen gets essentially a dead rubber at Sheffield Utd, and Rob
Jones back in the EFL.

We had a similar “bogey” phenomenon when we kept getting Stroud
at Fulham in the EFL, in that our win late was very low when he
was on the field.
One of those oddities in life!

Kitchen for us on Saturday normally a safe pair of hands

He made his Championship debut at Hillsborough on Saturday.

Whoops - that was me thinking he was making his debut this
midweek! Apologies and thanks for the correction!

Kitchen on a “dead rubber” sums up his fall from grace as Kirk
and Hallam stride on with impressive performances, his KMI
errors this season have ultimately cost him but he will learn
from his mistakes…albeit there have been many this season.

Be interesting to see where they go with the last rounds of
fixtures coming up.
They’ll be more dead rubbers in there to give to a few NL
officials as SG2 is needed higher up the food chain with all the
injuries in the top tier.
