Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted February 11, 2019 I will never take a perverse pleasure in a player getting a serious injury. Especially something as soul and career destroying as an ACL injury. Good luck to Sears in his recovery and hopefully he’s back playing again as soon as possible. 8 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) "I will never take a perverse pleasure in a player getting a serious injury. Especially something as soul and career destroying as an ACL injury." Nobody does, but I do not think any comments about this were intended as personal, more some mild humour at even more misfortune befalling the binners. Sears has been largely out of favour with the Ipswich fans and has been generally derided and out of formforsome time. Many blamed McCarthy for using him wide, not his most useful position apparently. I'm unsure as to whether Hurst used him at all. He is the (only?) player to thrive since Lambert came in and his goals and general play recently have been one of the few positives for their fans. It is a big blow and unfortunate for the player who was back at his best after some time in the wilderness. A decent player but his loss would be minimal by comparison with us losing Teemu Pukki.

ricardo 7,339 Posted February 11, 2019 No turning point for Town yet then. 🤗 Hard luck on Sears, but when things go wrong it tends to snowball There will eventually be a turning point but hopefully not for a while.👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makham 81 Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) It was a foul, but hardly deserving of anything other than a free kick. He was making a driving run and slightly over run the ball. How on earth is 9 months out poetic justice? Very unfortunate. Hope he gets over this and still can have a relatively lengthy playing career ahead of him. From a purely selfish perspective, I just don't get why people are in such a hurry to see Ipswich go down. Surely, it's in our interests that all teams lower down the table pick up points over our rivals. I suppose there are people on here hoping Derby beat them on Wednesday. If things don't pick up, Ipswich will be down with around 4 games to go. They really need to be picking up 3 or 4 wins asap, somehow. That could prove to be in our interests. Their last 2 games are against Sheff U and Leeds. With nothing to play for, you could see a situation like that at Everton the other night, if we are fighting it out with Leeds and Sheff U for top two. I would rather them be celebrating an amazing relegation escape than celebrating their defeats to our rivals costing us. Let the relegation dog fight go right to the wire, however unlikely that will be. I'm kind of relieved the derby is now out of the way. We've got the 3 points. I'm in the minority but I find all the gloating over Ipswich's plight boring. Fortunately we aren't Sheff U, who play 10 derbies - Rotherham, Leeds, Derby, Notts F, and, of course, Sheff W.

TIL 1010 4,718 Posted February 11, 2019 The thing is makham it would be good to see our rivals drop points but we are top and the only team that can take that away from us between now and the end of the season is ourselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunday was weird. I was intermittently struck with a strange melancholy (in between cheering all the goals) when realising the difference in class between the two clubs now is huge, made more ironic by the fact that they actually played quite well. It could be that we don't have any local rivalry with anyone for a number of years, if things keep going this way. In which case, I nominate Leeds, Wolves or Sheff Utd as our surrogate Binners. PS - Unlucky for Sears, no malice in his tackle, although it was a foul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivalries only really work when the two teams are relatively equal and the two sides look a long time way apart right now. I do hope they can turn their situation around next season and I would one day love to see the East Anglian Derby return to being a top flight fixture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
