We were poor defensively tonight. From front to back - they found too much space in midfield, perhaps Slater while further forward, also offers a better first line of defence than Traore.

We lost an early goal but eventually got on top and looked like getting back in it. If Seri had cut out their ball for their second or Connolly laid the ball off it could have been different. Fine margins but I still think we will be pushing the top 6 this season and not going to change my mind based on one poor performance.
 
Didn't take long. :emoticon-0136-giggl

Post's probably been sat in drafts for about 6 weeks.
A grain of truth in your comment. Not pre written in draft, but the thoughts have been in mind for many weeks. Tonight just sort of proved the point.
Interesting counter perspective from Quill, and fair play for a constructive response, something certain others seem incapable of. I just don't see it, meaning other than being reasonably eloquent and 'tv screen friendly', I don't think there's anything special about Rosenior as a manager. Maybe he can learn, adapt, change but he doesn't seem to want to (arrogant, naive). As always only TWT
 
It will end in tears as someone one who goes to 90% of the games live I know what the end will be sadly.

We all see it differently but I see progress in the way we play. I see a lot of us in Ipswich tonight with the exception that they move the ball quicker, have sharper movement and go more direct more often. That could be us in another season or so but I see the progress.

Some people isolate parts of the performance - ie slow passing at the back - and decide the whole thing is rubbish.
 
Good for you.

And your point is?

You and everything you say is meaningless to me.
You can PM anytime and I am happy to buy you a City ticket and shout you a couple of pints but until then you and your martyr crap take it elsewhere.
 
I'm hoping and almost sure that he's just protecting his players in the media because if that's how he's honestly seen things tonight then it's very worrying. Looking past protecting the players though, he and anyone for that matter should be humble enough though to admit when they get things wrong, he hasn't done that publicly but I'm really hoping behind closed doors he'll be looking at tonight and admitting to himself that he needs to learn quickly. That scoreline has been coming.

He was 100% correct though in saying it's all about how we react on Saturday and that will show us a lot about him and the players

I think he is. Its a young squad and will have off days. We saw it today and Norwich. But they did bounce back after Norwich. Lets hope its the same

Don't need the tickets mate but you can get me a beer at St Andrews.

In which games has that scoreline been coming, apart from maybe Norwich first game?

You realise I live between gateshead and Alnmouth don't you?

What the **** is a club bus gonna do for me?

But for the record, I've been at both dens. The old one once and the new one thrice.

That's how I know about Marina.

I've provided constructive responses elsewhere in this thread, but I can copy and paste if you'd like.

Ipswich are a well drilled side who have been playing this style of football longer than us which is why they are more progressed and more confident playing it than we are. As Quill rightly pointed out, they brought McKenna in and backed him through teething issues in 2021/22. Having gone up playing this style the side is fully embracing it and the supporters are positive and backing the manager. Will require patience here if we are to see similar results.

Not only has LR shown evidence of learning and adapting, but he's done it in game on a number of occasions. Calling him arrogant and naive and any other names you want to come up with doesn't change that fact nor is it 'constructive'.
