Just gone 1-0 down to a Philogene goal at Ipswich after dominating the first 20 minutes.

They look poor at both ends of the pitch. Is it McGuiness' debut?

Re: Sheffield United losing again.

Watching the game, I was reminded of my old buddy, Gil Reece, and googled his name to see what it said.

I'd played for St Patrick's in Grangetown, where Gilbert started, for a number of years both before and after having 2 years at Newport in their Welsh League side but without ever getting a first team call. Anyway, when Gilbert joined Newport as a part-timer (before his Sheff Utd move in 1965) and would pick me up on the A48 at Llanrumney twice-weekly to go training with the other part-time players.

Softly spoken, with a quick wit, he was a real gent who had over 200 appearances and 58 goals for United before returning to Cardiff to make 100 more with 23 goals for City between 1973-76. He also played 29 times for Wales scoring twice.

Alongside the Wiki entry is this cracking shirt Gilbert wore for Wales against Poland in Katowice in 1973:

The Blades are a shambles here… How terrible must we had been to get relegated last season? :facepalm:

Me too , unfortunately they cant all lose.

Is football becoming even more popular . Ipswich looks jammed packed , they have just been relegated, haven't had the greatest start to this season .

3-0 Sheff Utd haven't had a great start to the season either, I particularly don't like them. Good call sacking Chris Wilder again.

Sheff U owners getting karma for sacking Wilder.

Not sure how this Selles fella keeps getting jobs. He could be looking for a new one next week.

Isn't that the truth. Great fans, but can't say I'm sorry to see them in this mess. They will be begging Wilder to come back a third time, hope he tells them where to go.

Re: Sheffield United losing again.

Christ, I actually wanted Selles for the Cardiff job over BBM because I thought he'd done excellently at a Reading side on life support. Thank god I wasn't listened to.

Home to Charlton next, fail to win that and their start looks as bad, if not worse, than ours last season.
