    We had the most natural goalscorer since Rickie (IMO) waiting on the bench, I think Ron should've given him a chance today.

    I bet 99% of the Hampshire constabulary hope we don't!

    Is this a silly question, but do you think Lambert would return if they asked him?

    He would jump at it i'm sure, but I couldn't see us asking him tbh.

    Yes, I wonder if some of the players are not seeing eye to eye with Koeman who again pointed fingers. He blamed Yoshida and Davis for the first goal and then took them off at half time, you wonder how that will effect confidence. Koeman needs faith in himself but constantly blaming players may not help, even if he is frustrated.

    That's why I backed you today, as I expected Ipswich to put out a reserve team like they normally do.

    Imagine the feel good factor it would inspire, certainly among the fans. I've said too much....

    He's blamed the board, the players, the youth academy. Ron, it's time to start facing up and man managing mate.

    Could you possibly explain why "you come across as a lovely fella" was required? I don't see any nastiness in my posts? Frustration perhaps, but a long way from nastiness.

    Too right, I would prefer him on our bench than West Brom's, that's for sure...

    Just imagine how Adkins must be feeling! Sacked with a mostly Championship quality squad just as he started to turn things around. Never made excuses either.

    Yet Koeman makes all these excuses. Eight losses, one draw (vs bottom) and a win in ten games. Still has his job.

    No point in looking back, I was gutted that Nige got the sack and was furious with Cortese. Can't blame the current board for that decision.

    I agree Os, it is definitely time for him to start facing up and getting this right. Absolutely. The results dictate that, no doubt.

    The problem is we needs some wins to build the confidence and today does not help that situation. So whilst I agree that we might not have won the FA Cup; we are being drawn into a relegation battle and need a boost.

    Really pissed off. 3 cb's at home in a cup game? Really Koeman? And Targett is ****ing slow and can't cross a ball to save his life. He's not good enough. We lose to Watford and WBA then Koeman's got to go as far as I'm concerned. JWP should have started but failing that he had to come on at HT. Koeman got it totally wrong.

    Targett in the u21's is brilliant at set pieces and crossing tho. It's weird to see how different he is in the first team.
