I personally think it's a disgrace, we haven't been good at all this season. We've spent a fortune on absolute dross, the rotation is insane, questions have to be asked!! McKenna is becoming a stubborn git, he needs to wake up and realise you don't have to make all the changes he does. Also, I don't like McKennas transfer business, something has to change!!
We’re just not balanced. I said it weeks ago that last time at this level, Leif broke the record for assists by bombing up and down the wing. He is now playing in an inverted role which clearly isn’t working as well but KMc appears to be too stubborn to revert. No ideas why he keeps changing the back 4, barring injuries it should be the same 4 (unless we are playing a team with a particular player - Edmundson rotated in for probably 1/2 a dozen games last time in the championship). Neither Hirst or Azon are good enough as the 9 and as for the 10, with the players available, I would try Egeli even though it’s early in his career with us
I called a 1-1 but didn't think it would be as ****in' boring as that! What's happened to Leif getting crosses in? He gets level with the penalty box, ball goes back to Kipre. McK is ruining the attacking play of Davis because he's adjusted his position to try and benefit Clarke or Jaden, who like to start out wide and drift in. When Broady played, he occupied an inside left position and their full back, which allowed Davis the space to bomb forward and cross. That space is still there sometimes, but even if Leif makes the run, Jaden or Clarke are just not passing it. Akpom and Azon have been pretty useless so far, Hirst not much better, some of his first touches today bounced miles away. Do they not do first touch drills? For so long it seems like we don't have players that can trap a ball. I think Kipre could be our best striker on the books, he said he played up front when younger! Matusiwa did equally good as bad, some great ball steals, some dreadful passes. Young played some really nice crosses early in the game, didn't see many after that. Said it after the last match, Nunez isn't the answer in the 10 role. Unless we're playing a team that will actually full on attack and leave spaces, he'll be more effective starting from deeper. The attacking parts of our team look like they feel like they need to do it all themselves, taking too many touches, going for glory and invariably losing the ball. The successful back to back team were not like that. It was one and two touch play, everyone knowing where to play the ball because the next lad will be there, and we'd breeze through the pitch. Now it's all so ****in' slow. There's a counter on, we move the ball, move the ball, stop, play it back, opposition are now in shape, chance gone. McK has said many times he wants Ipswich to be a team to enjoy watching, well at the moment, this isn't it!
It's like we only have 20 minutes of good play in us. Start quick for 10 minutes and look decent, move into a 'wear the opposition down' mode for the next 80 and then pick it up for the last 10, hoping to score a goal. If that's the tactic, we won't win may.
