    Yep. Also coincidentally the only two players in the club who were involved in both 9-0 results. I can only imagine yet again it’s a case of not being able to offload because no one wants them.

    Ralph did his best to ditch them both. But alas, here we are, February 2025, and they're both still here.

    Not that I have any problems with them in the Championship, mind you.

    Also the one that we did manage to get rid of is currently at another team in the relegation zone getting torn apart by Everton as we speak.

    Shows the quality of our recruitment on the whole.

    We’re just so so bad. This is the best we’ve been for a while.. yet we are so so bad <laugh>

    Offer absolutely nothing going forwards. Easy to play through.

    Don’t like this formation at all, doesn’t suit our players.

    Tough watch. We don't really look in this. Ipswich miles better going forward, but who isn't.

    Welington very good. Ramsdale good. KWP and Aribo pretty good. Everyone else… scraping adequate. THB awful.

    I’m getting pissed off with the number of times our players are jumping for headers that they have no chance of winning because of the ball trajectory being too flat to give them a chance to get above the Ipswich players.
    All they are doing is putting themselves off balance and out of the game when the ball is headed over them.
    They need to be reading it better and backing off to try and pick up the flick or at least get in position to defend.

    Think I’d like to see Kamaldeen on for Gronbaek. He’s not done anything wrong, but hasn’t really got into the game. Would be nice to see two speedsters down that side too.

    Plan is clearly to get it forward and have Gronbaek and Fernandes pick up the second ball and feed KWP or Welington.

    Unfortunately that requires Onuachu to not be completely **** which is where the plan falls flat

    Debutants doing well enough. Onuachu crap.

    No midfield once again. Sliced through with ease.

    Why is Harwood-Bellis playing left-wing?

    Ipswich were dribbling straight through the middle of our team with worrying regularity, whereas our attack appeared to be booting the ball towards Tall Paul surrounded by 3 players.

    Still 1-1 at half time, bottom club away from home. Wellington looked enthusiastic. Time for the manager to earn his money and give us a better 2nd half.

    Not just today either. I think he's been pretty poor for a while now

    I really thought Onuachu deserved a run of games.

    Well he’s had that now, and yeah… he’s absolutely awful.

    Could do a job in the championship though I reckon

    Is Welington quick? I haven’t seen him try to go past the defender yet as he seems to be trying to cross early
