Another complete and utter shambles against a bottom 3 side who we should have beaten comfortably especially at home. No need to worry though because its all about the bigger picture! Four consecutive god awful displays from our elderly misfits and still no plan B. Well done Jewell at this rate you will be competing with Keane as the worst ever Town manager. At least we managed to draw a few games when he was in charge. I know the armchair apologists will soon be on here pretending that every thing is great and that the players still need time to gel! Three consecutive defeats against pretty mediocre opposition tells its own sorry tale and a relegation battle is what we're heading for. Well done PJ you tried your best and take that moron Clegg with you on your way out!
From my armchair I logged on to see the starting line up and was a tad surprised. There seems to be so many issues within the club which have not been resolved for years. I'm not having a pop at Jewell,he's been given a brief from upstairs about promotion.I will say that, as much as we rely on Marcus Evans, he has changed my attitude towards the club. It's a real Catch 22 situation. Full credit to Doncaster Rovers by the way.
What's the answer then Walky?We can't keep hiring and firing managers. The players have to take a large portion of the blame.Then again who signed them. Confused in Germany.
What do you expect Naxos when we have signed too many players over 30 without anything left to prove. We have a Chief Exec who doesn't know his arse from his elbow. I agree that we shouldn't keep sacking managers but on the evidence of the last 5 years I will not be renewing my season tickets next season. There are a group of 30 of us who sit in the SBR every week and we have all said that this season will be our last. The club has to realise that we can't keep being taken for granted with our hard earned money. It breaks my heart to say it but I just can't be bothered to go to games anymore just like most of the players we have! Something is rotten at the club and I don't know what the answer is but something has to change and quickly. It just seems that we have been cursed ever since Marcus Evans bought the club.
I almost went today, despite witnessing that sensationally abject stinkingarseing tripe served up at sub-third-world South Battersea last week. Thank ****ing Christ I didn’t. I shouldn’t have been surprised at the halftime score. At Millwall you could’ve put your local pub’s second eleven out still pissed from the night before and it would’ve been an improvement. What the **** is going with these useless ****s? Jewell and his band of merry men are clearly a waste of space. My next door neighbour’s cat could organise a more effective team. But what about these players? What in **** are these piss-useless ****s paid for? What do they ****ing do? What goes through their ****ing dense minds? ****s. As for comparison against our last two useless ****ing managers: Jewel has a much worse loss record than the previous pair of hopeless twats, but a better win record. How, I’ve no ****ing idea. Jewel is better in the transfer market, but that’s where it ends. And where the heads of our pathetic players are right now, who the **** knows. Of course, as you say, the Jewel fanboys will be along singing the praises of getting two goals back and how it’s so much rosier. ****ing Jesus! I am not happy.
Agreed Jonah What a ****ing rabble we have become! I'm sure there will be a few on here that will try and defend this team and the mess that Jewell has got us into. I have given Jewell the benefit since he took over but results speak for themselves and we are ****ing garbage! We are ****ed with this clown in charge.
Fair point DM not that this thread has got anything to do with you! I've been a town fan all my life and a season ticket holder for 25 years so yes I am fickle! I base my opinions on when he first took over and since then he has a worse defeat ratio than Roy Keane The type of football we are playing is shambolic and hopeless and now reality has kicked in. Most of his signings are way passed their best and we wont be going anywhere with this shower of ****e. I like Paul Jewell he seems a decent bloke and talks sense at times but results suggest that he doesn't know what he's doing.
While many Canary fans will probably not show much sympathy for the current predicament that Ipswich now find themselves in, it would definitely be good for East Anglian football to see Ipswich back in the Premier League. I think that in this situation, the club would be better off sticking with Jewell. It's still early days in the season and there's still plenty of time to turn things around.
Fickle is the operative word canary, a lot of our " fans " are hilarious at best. What do you want, us to be run by Manderic and have 4 managers a season ? I'm sticking well behind Jewell. Hopefully that's the end of the diamond, and we start with Martin + Carson next game.
He's only had 1 transfer window and brought in 13 (?) players for this season including the loans (with some likely to stick with us). He had to rebuild the squad completely and has said he has a long term plan for the team so give him a chance!! Last transfer window he got in proven players who would give us a chance in this competitive league, and I'm hoping he gets in some more young and hungry players like Creswell in the next window... we are only 5 points off the playoff teams for **** sake its not the end of the world!!
I wish some of you lot actually bothered to go to Portman Road once in a while to witness this shower! The club is going backwards and no one knows how to arrest the decline. Signing elderly has beens on big wages and loanees that don't have much allegiance to the team isn't going to solve our deep seated problems. For a start we need to get rid of Clegg as he hasn't got a clue how to run a whelk stall let alone a football club.
I wasn't even sure if I could be bothered to reply to some of these posts. It really makes you wonder about the general intelligence of football fans. Your quite right to have your own opinions and be disgruntled with what is going on atm but fickle, bipolar, reactionary is definitely the right word to use in describing some of our fans post on here. There's no thought or foresight put into some of these posts and they just seem idiotic!! The digs are very immature, I don't think that I had a dig at Spanish or JWM for your support of Keane for nearly 2 years and never got nearly as bad as this!!! JWM when have I ever said things would be great?? I said this year is going to be a very tough year and tbh is going how I was predicting it and a fair few of the fans are reacting how I thought they would aswell, they supported Keane(I don't know why) and now they've run out of patience with Jewell, when he deserves more!! Dangerous Marsupial, alot of the Norwich fans who come on here actually talk more sence than most of the ITFC fans, it happened when Keane was in charge and its happening now, although I do respect JWM that you've just seen so many awful displays over the past few years and its hard not to get carried away with what you have seen and take an objective few. I just cannot believe that so many fans were defending Keane over the past few years and yet so quick to jump on the back of Jewell. Fickle is definitely the right word to use.
I agree with what Wright said. I just hope this has shown Jewell that the diamond doesn't always work and we could use some width. Wabara seems to have a good cross on him, not sure how he did defensively though. Carson and Martin seem to have learnt from their time out of the team and I hope will play in the next game.
PTC I wasn't even sure if I could be bothered to reply to some of these posts. It really makes you wonder about the general intelligence of football fans.

The digs are very immature, I don't think that I had a dig at Spanish or JWM for your support of Keane for nearly 2 years and never got nearly as bad as this!!! What makes your opinion right? Obviously it must be to enable you to call us idiots!! The thing is, we realise we were wrong about Keane and have held our hands up but you on the other hand......you will never be wrong!! Maybe we have learnt from our mistakes in backing a loser and don't want history to repeat itself, to that you can have no arguement!!
Spanish your right I can have no argument to that, partly because none of what you just said has any reasoning behind it. There's no right and wrong, its not a simple as that but obviously everyone believes in their own opinion. And I feel I talk alot of sense, but again so does everyone else about themselves. We will have to wait and see what happens but I am quite confident that Jewell will be the right man for the job in the end, if not I will hold my hands up but as things currently stand taking into account what has happened over the past few years and what Jewell has had to work with I would say there are signs that he is the right man for the job but at the same time, there are some strange decisions(like any manager would make) but on balance he should be given more time. He knows what needs to be done(well in his interviews it appears he does) but he needs more time to implement them. Any manager would have struggled to turn our fortunes around straight away.
TBH ptc i'm fed up with arguing with you, we are both opinionated and think we are right and as you say, time will tell. i don't care who has to hold their hands up as long as it gets sorted!! I agree that he still deserves a LITTLE more time but things have to improve very quickly. We are so soft centred its not true but this has been a problem for a long time and is still not sorted, how long does it take to realise we need to stop leaking so many goals, actually leaking is the wrong word, more like flooding!! This is the most annoying thing, the time its taking to stop conceding sooo many goals, any decent manager would have realised/solved the problem by now!! One other thing for the regulars, does anybody think that Bullard has been ****e since signing for us, is this down to the fact he now has a contract and will get paid week in week out whether good or bad or is it down to fitness or diamond formation?
