On what basis would Greaves be ahead of Burgess for a starting place? Certainly not based on last season’s performances #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

Burgess going to Swansea is beyond my understanding. What went wrong with his relationship with #itfc? Strange, strange, strange - and so disappointing.

@RetroITFC Our favourite referee!!

[North Stander @North_Stander]

Great to see George Hirst scoring for Scotland. So important he stays fit next season #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

Squeaky bum time for Town fans. Will the domino effect started at Spurs end with McKenna at Bournemouth or Brentford? Hopefully neither #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

Marcus Harness will be a fantastic signing for Huddersfield. Slightly disappointed we haven’t kept him as a squad player #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

@giorgiosuffolk He is not the owner, but he has much more authority than the others you mention. And that includes public statements.

[North Stander @North_Stander]

People criticising Mark Ashton for his “well protected” comment about the Delap sale should be careful what they wish for. It’s not long ago that the club’s former top man said virtually nothing publicly. We didn’t know what he looked like for ages! Let’s not over analyse #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

@giorgiosuffolk Nope…I’m saying there’s a risk Ashton might clam up as far as interviews are concerned if his every word is over-analysed.

[North Stander @North_Stander]

@giorgiosuffolk Journalism is all about seeing both sides, which is precisely what I’m advocating here.

[North Stander @North_Stander]

We need some power. Broadhead, Clarke, Philogene, Humphreys all talented but lightweight #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

@JoeySadler_ JET’s career is the biggest waste of a sublime talent. So sad #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

I was watching Stockport-Orient in a slightly smug, condescending Premier League fan way when it suddenly hit me that we could be playing one of these next season #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

Fabian Schar pretty much identical foul for Newcastle v Chelsea as Leif Davis on Saka. Rightly given a yellow card. No great outrage over the foul. No red card. But then it’s not Arsenal and it’s not unfashionable Ipswich #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

I really rate Enciso. He plays football like he’s in the playground - full of energy and enthusiasm. Just needs to work on his decision making. It will come. Shame someone else will benefit #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

If any of that wrestling happened in the middle of the pitch it would be a free kick and card every time #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

Thought we were unlucky to lose yesterday. Could so easily have grabbed something late on. Of course, main talking point was the dreadful officiating and VAR. Use it properly and consistently or scrap it #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

RIP Ken Hancock. First Town keeper I remember. Played a big part in the 1967-68 promotion campaign which saw us return to the top flight and ultimately led to the glory years under Bobby Robson. Very good keeper #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

I cannot believe the fuss about the Davis tackle on Saka. He was struggling against a quality opponent. No way was the challenge vicious. Clumsy, yes. Desperate, definitely. But not intended to cause injury. Davis has been punished appropriately. Saka is ok. Let’s move on #itfc

[North Stander @North_Stander]

Has there ever been a more desperate phrase in football than “still mathematically possible?” Translation: Relegated #itfc
