    “work rate” was the first thing you mentioned. Go and have a look at how much Haaland presses or how many touches of the ball he’s had on average this season. Good teams get the ball where the striker is lethal with it and we just can’t it’s as simple as that.

    Teams like City back opponents into their own third and play quick, short passes to get between the lines. Teams like Luton flood the box with crosses. This season we’ve done neither. It comes to something when our opponents are happy for us to have the ball because we’re useless with it.

    Ali Al Hamadi has scored more goals in about 6 games for Ipswich than any of our strikers have all season. If he came here he’d have 0.

    Or a new owner, who cares and will use their own money to invest in the club

    Let’s stick to positives. Clean sheet and not a loss.

    Dear me the standards have slipped.

    Just need to struggle to 3 more draws out the last 8 games and that should pretty much guarantee we’ll be in this league, next season. If Speakman stays and continues with the recent transfer windows he has controlled, I really fear for us next season.

    Stole a point against one of the worst teams I have seen in this league. Guess I should be happy.

    The state of things. The standard. What a ****ing joke.

    Getting boring now bob

    He has invested money, we spent lots in the summer- just didnt recruit the right players

    There's more worse owners out there than better

    yeh this. If it’s stick or twist I’d be sticking. Considering the potential alternatives

    Poor again but i didnt expect a good performance after the run weve been on

    The positives are its a point, it stops the losing run and we kept a clean sheet

    Hopefully performances improve over next few weeks
