Joe Pigott

[Ricey]

I thought he was going onto bigger things. Good move for him though.

 

[RHB]

Moved to Ipswich

He's obviously drawn to a team with blue colours. Understandable.

 

[Evening Echo]

IPSWICH Town have beaten off interest from other clubs to secure the services of Southend United Wembley hero Joe Pigott.

I hope it works for him. Expectations will be high and he wasn't top of their shopping liist. Ipswich are spending money like it is going out of fashion. it really is promotion or bust.

On the way out at Ipswich apparently. Where next? Maybe a return to Charlton? Or Portsmouth look in need of a striker...

Bit above his level, those two. Sutton? Leyton Orient?

It was only a season ago he scored 20 goals in League One for a team providing dubious service. I didn't think he'd make it at that level either originally but he clearly can do a job.

 

[Chapperz]

Two goals in his first four games at Ipswich then suddenly out the team and barely got any decent playing time since.

Would be surprised if he wasn't at a League 1 club next season. Still got two years on his contract so unless it is a loan I can't see anyone below that level being able to afford him.

I wouldn't look much past Wimbledon, can easily see a return there.

I know he lost his dad around September time, might have been a reason for the drop in form. His record speaks for itself and there's no doubt he can bag regularly at L1 level.

Will he be on Bomber's list of targets for Gills?

That wasn't a bad prediction at all! Hope he does well there.

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Seems to have turned provider on his Portsmouth debut with two crosses leading to goals - not a side of him I recall seeing here!

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

I will always wish him well. Scored in one of the best footballing moments of my life. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Is for me. Here's the definition of serious foul play from the 2022/23 laws of the game (where serious foul play is one of the sending off offences):

Serious foul play A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.
