    I for one need to say sorry to JWP. I thought he wasn’t playing well in the last two seasons. I now realise he was actually playing like three players to carry the rest of the team. No coincidence that results have gone off the cliff since he left.

    Doesn't help that we replaced him with thin air.

    Agree on Smallbone. During the Wednesday game he was looking for the ball all the time, tonight does not appear to be interested. Just got a new contract as well.

    Martin needs to say to them; 0 shots on target? I want double figures by the end of the f*cking game.

    I think this is worse than Leicester. Leicester looked good for it. Ipswich must feel like they are being given charity points.

    Aribo off for Bednarek is a must. We need someone in midfield who actually understands that they are meant to be providing support for the defenders, rather than wandering 20 yards up the pitch where the defenders have no hope in hell of threading a pass to.

    The only positive I am seeing is that Ipswich are playing a very open game, so if we can introduce some creative players we just might get back into this.

    Yes but that thin air spent 5 minutes in the Man City academy so we had to buy it......ordinary air has little sell on value. If you're really smart you can buy Manchester air and make a huge mark up in a few months time. #thesouthamptonway

    Slows the play down so much. Can't shoot, can't create, can't tackle.

    low attendances should make the powers that be ,sit up and take notice .
    Not just the lost revenue ( is it that big a deal I honestly don’t know )
    But also the image , not good .

    Teams just don’t have to do anything to score against us. Just keep solid at the back and wait for us to **** up

    Yeah Jasper , who was I kidding <laugh>
    Can't you guys just do it for your friendly canary buddies? :emoticon-0148-yes:

    As with most Norwich fans I want to see RM do well for you guys - this is a great job for him if only he can get it right. As it stands, I fear for him and our hopes of seeing him as our manager in years to come may never come to fruition.

    Here's to a much improved second half <cheers>

    Not sure about the first but definitely agree with 2nd.

    Thought this against Leicester, too.

    when our opponent’s have the ball at the back, midfielders are scampering to create passing lines. Smallbone just jogs around not looking for it, ever.
