    What do you mean, “now”? Has one result today derailed your entire season?

    Even you could see we had one sitting on the bench all game whilst Gray was roasted time and time again.

    Poor from Farke.

    I’m just a glass Hal full kind of guy. Just think the mailings this lot would get in the pl. be thankful we’re playing rubbish most weeks

    No towel chucked in from me, we need more consistency though.

    Southampton storming ahead, and West Brom likely to do a repeat of Preston.
    When does a slide become free fall?

    Why keep blaming Farke our players are too soft.

    22 games to go and then we get promoted at Wembley after the play offs.

    It's written in the stars <cheers>

    Just hope Farke doesn’t manager manager of the month the month before. We had one good performance from four since he won that damned thing <grr>

    It's the away form mate as at home we've been really good.

    Until you get here in January of course <laugh>

    No it’s not Jammy it’s FARKE being a stubborn fool. Every gash team we play puts on a high press because they know it disrupts our game and forces mistakes. He knew we were going to get kicked to death today but chose to play his best 11. He’s too predictable for me and may as well tell the rest of the squad that they ain’t good enough. No chance of autos now and if we carry on losing to dross there will be no play offs. We have thrown away 8 points in the last week alone, that’s not promotion form. Lets see how many players who got lumps kicked out of them today are fit enough for the next game

    We're roughly where I expected us to be at this point and with plenty of games to go there's still a good chance we'll go up. Farke for me has definitely made a few errors but the good still outweighs the times he's got it wrong.

    Keep the faith Doc as it's a long season.

    If we go up it will be through the playoffs. Autos are gone. Having said that we’ve had such a deplorable record at Wembley since I was a kid that stadium owes us one big day. Who knows

    We're still bang in the thick of it and if we can improve then automatic promotion is still achievable.

    Happy with the play offs though as it would still give us a great chance of going up.

    You beat one of the top teams 4-0 and the game before that you draw with an in form Coventry 1-1 then lose due to a red card for your keeper, free fall is quite a long way off.

    BTW - Coventry beat Birmingham 2-0, Drew with Southampton, Drew with Leeds, beat Sunderland 3-0, beat Wednesday 2-0

    I’m disappointed with todays result, we really need to string 3-4 wins together, something we just can’t seem to do, Southampton are looking the more likely to swap places with Ipswich at the moment.

    At the start of the season, I said we should go up as champions with the strike force we have, I felt any of the linked candidates should be able to do well.

    It’s at the stage now where I’m not as convinced in Farke, he was great at managing the awkward situation we found ourselves in at the beginning but should he be doing better with the players we have, a few slight question marks are appearing.

    It is hard though, many were calling for fresh players and we rolled Ipswich over, then the same team struggles and your keeper sees red.

    We are definitely not having fair refereeing away from home, so much is going unpunished, Meslier pushed him away in the face, a player that shouldn’t have been involved but ran over to antagonise Meslier and should have been booked for running over and pushing then booked again for unsporting behaviour doing theatrics to rival Adryan

    Would have been very brave of Farke to rotate today after beating Ipswich 4-0 last time out and at the end of the day it was Meslier that cost us the result, just the same as Dan James with a poor challenge in the box at Birmingham and Barndoor missing the penalty at Stoke.
