Bakare and D’almeidha both released on the weekend
Not surprised by the latter, but am by Bakare - we didn’t seem to know what D’Almeida’s best position was in his last couple of years here.
I thought both had a chance of making it with us, perhaps Bakare isn't good enough with the ball, and D'Almeida definitely suffered from being played in multiple positions, including as one of Mick McCarthy's many RWBs.
Both still young enough to prove us wrong
Bakare’s release is a head scratcher??
Tavio’s unfortunately not so Paul
Going forward I hope Kieron Evans spell in Northern Ireland having lumps kicked out of him moulds him into a tougher midfielder we can definitely do with playing regular first team football next season
Very surprised about Bakare. He captained the U23s last week too.

Only just noticed that the under 23s are home today against Crewe, kick off at one and it’s on the club website.
Wonder if either of those trialists from last week will be involved?
3 triallists involved. Cian Ashford on the bench.
Mr and Mrs Triallist must be very proud
If D'Almeida is being released, why is he playing today?
Maybe we needed him to make a sensible formation.
No point trying to assess the triallists in a team that doesn't work
No chance of a playoff spot now, with Ipswich winning on Friday. We can catch Bristol City on points but their goal difference is 14 better than ours with 1 game each left.
Still a good season for them though, especially with so many breaking through to senior football, with us and elsewhere.
Hearing Kieron Evans has been told to find another club
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised, hopefully he gets something decent
A shame, he was good in his little cameo at Fulham
Anything on Bowen? He impressed when he was playing under Mick earlier this season, a shame if he's moved on as well
The trialist wearing no 8 has started well. Think it's Qureshi (from Brighton).
I like the look of the number 3 as well.
Crole almost scored too
Yeah.
2 decent efforts from Crole.
D'Almeida doing well as well.
Colwill seems to spend a lot of time walking
Nothing concrete, but I think it’s obvious he won’t feature under Morison so a move probably best for his career even if he has to drop down to lower league club. 21 now another year in the 23s is no good for him, he’s better than that. For his own career needs to be playing first team football.
City win 2-1 after falling behind with about twenty minutes left. James Crole equalised and a deflected effort by sub Cian Ashford won it. Not a bad game which I’d say City just about deserved to win.
Yeah I enjoyed that game.
I liked the look of the number 3 triallist
Watched the 1st half but not the 2nd. Missed all the goals!
Think we were on top for a bit longer in the second half, but it was a good competitive game.
Ashford seemed to give us a bit more energy when he came on
Yes Birdman
It’s a typical City conundrum
Not only was he released last Friday but they played Tavio today and made him Captain
I’m not sure how I’d feel about that??
It was definitely his last game today tho
I remember Dave Jones releasing a bunch of youngsters then on the Saturday only being able to name four players for the first team bench and many asked why not use of one of the kids, and he replied, quite reasonably, that would just be messing a lad around and if it was one of his kids he'd be ringing the manager to ask what was going on.
But maybe it's a bit different at U23 level and Tavio was expected to see out his contract much in the way of Vaulks and Flint etc. Be professional and do the job, and to be fair, he was and did. Or perhaps he asked to be involved for one last time. Good luck to the lad, he got a first team appearance for his troubles which is more than most.
