Spanish - if you want Jewell out, which I can understand, outline your plan Name me managers you'd want in Players you'd want in Budget you think is available Just curious to see the above !
I think most would agree with that sentiment – the problem being even Keano, with his shambolic squad “building” skills, never lost this many games and never presided over such a chaotic defence. I cannot fathom why, after a year in charge, we are so hopeless easy to parade the proverbial coach and horses through, and how useless we are a keeping possession and doing simple things like passing a ball up a football pitch. Millwall away will give me nightmares for years to come. They’ve showed themselves capable on just a few occasions, and even then only in patches during games they go on to lose. It’s risible. As Spanish says – even if they come back in the second half and by some miracle salvage a draw or even a win, it can’t overshadow how fantastically bad it’s been with what is on paper one of the better squads in the league.
It always makes me chuckle when someone infers that you can’t pass an opinion on a managers job if you can’t make like the chairman and say immediately how you’ll go forward – and in this case know what the budgets are! Amazing. I suppose the same people demand similar when someone comments on the Prime Minister’s performance or when they vote for an MP. North Korea here we come. After all, we get lectures on PJ worship whenever we get a point from somewhere… 10 minutes into the second half and is there an improvement – apparently we’re “just clinging on”. That’ll be to a two goal deficit, then.
It has dawned on me that this is not one of the better squads in the league. Three years ago it would have been great but it is full of has-beens now. Ipswich are soft in every way now. We will take any teams rejects, we chased Chopra for ages but Cardiff only let him go when they thought he wasn't good enough. It's been the same for a while though, it doesn't matter who we have as strikers if we have useless twats like Leadknob in midfield who can't feed them the pass they need. We need to scrap most of the first team. Anyone over 25 to be sold and the reserves promoted. We are losing matches anyway and I'm not sure anyone bar ALB really gives a toss. 30 somethings won't be learning anything they don't already know so we might as well lose with a team who can grow and learn together. As radical and knee jerk as it might sound I would rather have a team of youngsters trying their best and losing than a team of past-their bests not trying and losing.
" It always makes me chuckle when someone infers that you can’t pass an opinion on a managers job if you can’t make like the chairman and say immediately how you’ll go forward – and in this case know what the budgets are! Amazing. " Well instead of clowns simply stating they want Jewell out - try having a brain and putting a plan together regarding what you want. Its a hypothetical question - requires more of a brain than simply stating " Jewell out "
haha well he can take a penalty, Miller could too and he was useful.....! I just always want to hear when people want a manager out, who do they want in, who should we target transfer wise, and who would they want sold. Otherwise, people saying " whoever out " I just dismiss as a kop out. I always try with us to be subjective! Now lets get a draw please !
" We need to scrap most of the first team. Anyone over 25 to be sold and the reserves promoted. " Probably the most idiotic statement I've read in a long time !?!
I'm not going to mention going 3-1 down because I don't remember mentioning the first half of a our defeat to Reading the other day was quite good.
Do you not read your own posts back then Westy? I did say it was radical so not to be taken absolutely serious but I can't say I'm happy with the majority of our first team.
Yeah I know what you mean mate, not going overly well at the minute is it. Without Sonko our defence is shambolic.
Westy Well instead of clowns simply stating they want Jewell out - try having a brain and putting a plan together regarding what you want. This Clown has wanted Jewell out for some time, while you Mr Westlake have been happy to back a manager that has a worse record than Jim and Roy combined. Just who is the clown?? As far as i can see, not the person that is currently backing Paul Jewell!! Westy, you gave it large after the two wins and a draw, all be it against inferior oposition, so learn to get it back after two defeats. Reading was expected and hence, no comment from myself, today........ Who would i like to replace Jewell, **** me, anyone will do, even your good self!!
well surely there must be someone you'd prefer instead of Jewell !?!? As for myself as manager, my team would be..... ALB / Edwards / Cresswell / Delaney / Sonko / Carson / Bullard / Bowyer / Martin / Scotland / Chopra would you prefer me over Jewell lol! ? who would you play at the mo mate ?
Wow, we've let six goals in against the team who have scored the least in the league. That's an acheivement to be proud of.
Can't really argue with your team Westy, so in that case, the job is yours!! Saying that, i would rather a few diff faces come the end of the Jan transfer window, for me:- Loach Lowton Sonko Collins Whight Carson Bowyer Andrews Cresswell Evans Sharp One can hope but don't see it happening!!
Full credit to Nottingham Forest.................. However-To all the people that currently draw a salary from Ipswich Town football Club can I just say one thing............. You are not fit to wear the shirt.
Spanish, swap Collins for Ainsley and Bowyer for Hyam. Cresswell for left wing as many of us said is a good shout. Edwards allowed to be on the bench as wing or right back cover.
