Worth remembering, before the doom and gloom becomes all consuming, that we're only out of the playoffs on goal difference and Ipswich are an exceptionally good team at this level.

Their new owners came in and have thrown money at it. They want a return on their investment.
Is it sustainable? not a chance,
will it work? Might do
Is it a gamble? Yes but they have 3 years before it bites them with ffp
Don't think I have time to trawl through what I've read online and listened to last year to catalogue it for you, hope you understand.
This is how I feel tbh. Before despite setbacks felt we were on right track. Now feel we're going the wrong way and just want ownership to see it as soon as possible...

Agreed they play some great football and have always been a proper football team.
However I do believe we should be aiming higher than them
So when you say it's a "disaster appointment" and "Beale isn't up to leading this club" you're just talking out of your arse based on second hand opinions. Sorry, I thought you might actually have a point to make.
I wouldn't disagree but at this moment in time they are a really good side. I don't feel any shame at losing to them, I'm not suggesting you do either.
It was a narrow one mind, wasn't much in it.
We were levels below where we could be. It's so disappointing that its just not clicking
They are in good form but were definitely there for the taking today mind, defenders on yellow cards and looking shaky when under pressure. You could see that at the start of the second half but for some reason that wasn’t spotted by our coaching staff.
I thought most of our play was pretty good. There's an element of frustration though which I'm hoping Beale will sort out . It doesn't seem unreasonable to give a new coach time and I don't mean 5 games.
Of course he needs time, but today was one of those confusing days, team selection, subs and the sky interview was a car crash
I didn't mind the team apart from Rusyn being dropped, subs were ****e and I haven't seen any post game stuff as I had to bail at full time. I gather he pointed the finger at Adil although Nordic who's a sensible chap didn't think it was too bad.
Fair enough mate, I don't want to get into a situation where I'm defending everything Beale says and does. I'm just of the opinion that our football has been fine under him, results have been ok and any new coach needs time.
Mate l, it wasn't a great interview. I am one of the more positive posters but even i was cringing
Plus all he did wrong was foul someone needlessly, there are worse crimes. Plenty of experienced players do it every game. The main crime from that goal was giving their player a free header not the foul that brought it about.
