That's kind of crazy. Wasn't the loan just announced yesterday? Talk about a vote of confidence in a new signing...
Haha, my Yahoo Sports app had them in a 3-2-3-1 because CCV was probably not even listed as part of the team yet.
They Got a Panzer, We Got a Tractor: Carter-Vickers @ Ipswich Town. PS: Ipswich are known as "The Tractor Boys," the area long being an agricultural & heavy duty agri-equipment hub.
Skimming thru Ipswich fan forum, not getting much info from his performance.. -The new boys had their introductions. Cameron was ordinary. - CCV checked out his new team mates and started a lovely move with a cross-quadrant long ball that draws polite applause. - CCV looks a hell of a signing. He calms us on the ball and we've played ourselves out from the back when he's been involved. - CCV did well
Usually, when the fans don't talk of a defender it means he did fine, but when they don't talk of an attacker it means he didn't do well.
CCV and the left back combine to lose the Bolton goal scorer (0:49). @bungadiri Cameron Carter-Vickers at Ipswich Town (on loan from Spurs)
Hmmm. We are ignoring the opportunity to double up on weapons here. Vickers manufactured a particularly effect machine gun used by the Brits in WWI (and prob still in early WWII, although I think it was widely replaced as a squad weapon by the Bren gun). On my phone, so harder to research. I’ll be back. I’m back. Had the Vickers confused with the Lewis. Still mostly right, except the Vickers was a heavy (platoon level) tripod mounted machine gun used throughout WW1 and WW2. Was also mounted on early fighter aircraft (it’s the gun you see in movies that fire through the propeller- the closed bolt allowed it to be synchronized with the propeller blades). So, Weston might be a little German tank, but Cameron is a heavy British machine gun. Cheers.

Haha. Wilder covering his ass in case Sheffield loses a couple and ends up below Ips... "I had to let the lad go... poison in the locker room... Sure, we lost a few games but..."
Not sure he is saying that at all. It's an odd quote and the phrasing doesn't indicate an issue. The full original article gives the reasons. https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/foo...talks-about-jamal-blackman-s-future-1-8975046
No matter how many times I read it I can't tell what he's trying to say in that quote. I'm still not sure if CCV skulked or not.
I am reading it that the keeper didn't complain, like CCV didn't. If you replace the word like with unlike then I would read it as he was complaining.
F****** English and their terrible English. C'mon we Yanks make more sense that that and it's YOUR language. Seriously, I have no idea what to make of Chris Wilder's quotes. I've read them several times. It's a headscratcher for sure. Oh well...... CCV parlayed that into another loan and is going to seemingly continue to play. That's all that matters to me.
TBH I was being "cheeky" I think you guys call it... (cause, in truth all that separate Ips and SU is goals against. Ipswich need to tighten up the D and they'd be closer in the table.) But I appreciate the added backstory. I don't have much of a sense of CV's personality.
I read it like you did at first - that he was an "EPL pro" too who didn't sulk, but the other reading is more salacious and fun, so I went with that.
I get that. I think the SBI writer wants to work for the Sun by the way they took it completely out of context.
That's kind of how I read it (Cam didn't sulk either). But really the whole thing is a mess. I mean the part about the it may come as a shock to the GK that he never came to the coach, sulking and saying he didn't like something is kinda weird. I think the GK would know if he did that and not be shocked to hear the coach say so.
I think the "him" there is the Chelsea person he talked to. They asked, "Is Jamal doing fine?" And Wilder said, "Not once he's sulked and come to me to complain." The Chelsea person was surprised by it, considering he's not playing league games. And that's why he's stayed for the rest of the season. In that reading, CCV is offered as in opposition to the Jamal Blackman situation, since he did go back to his club. That is, he did sulk and complain, the Tottenham guy asked, and when that was known over there, the parent club recalled him.
