    Well that went pretty much exactly as I predicted.

    Lots of possession that created a few decebt chances but nothing more. The opposition didnt even need to work for their goal, we lost the game because we gave away easy chances.

    If Martin doesn't wake up now then I don't think he ever will. We have an amazing squad for this level and it wouldn't take much to turn this around.

    So, how many games is he going to get? Surely we can piss away the next 10 games with this ****.

    I’d imagine Bednarek will be in on Saturday.

    We looked instantly better with him back I thought, and Charles in CDM.

    I hate losing, like so much, but if it got rid of Martin, who with this squad should easily be top 6, and pushing top 2, by keeping this bad run going, then maybe it wont be so bad.

    Hate it really, but it was obvious.

    SR out. Seriously, every decision they’ve made since they came in has turned bad. They seem to try, but we need to accept that they’re just not very good at running our club.

    Played a simple 4-2-3-1 with a high back line to squeeze the game. Same as Nigel Adkins did

    Agree with this re going forward. I actually think part of our defensive options stem from being clueless in attack, so our defence doesn’t have good options to pass out to, and we get closed down easily and make mistakes - see the goal tonight for that and 4 on Fri last week.

    We have the ball in attack and literally no one looks like they know what they are supposed to do.

    What kind of person still believes that we shouldn't have Charles at DM and Bednarek at CB. What kind of person still believes that Adam ****ing Armstrong should be our captain first off, and should be in the team ahead of our most creative player second. What kind of person believes that Aribo and Smallbone are starting midfielders at any level above pub. It honestly beggars belief.

    The most horrible part of all was that for the last 20 minutes or so, I just didn't care.

    And why of all f*cks is Mara coming on at right wing instead of Amo-Ameyaw? What has SAA done? He was brilliant every time he came on.

    Right, our best players are KWP, Stuie, Bednarek, Alcaraz. Find a way to get them all in the team.

    Fair play, Jim Magilton did a good job for them







    EDIT: Just heard he's been sacked <yikes> Crazy decision by the Ipswich board, they're top of the league!!

    I have been slagging KWP off this season but I thought he was our best player tonight, Stuart second.
    I think we made Ipswich look better than they actually are and I’m not sure they will finish top 6, much like us on this form.
    Does anyone have a spreadsheet to show how many goals conceded have been down to our own incompetence?
    Seems like most of them to me.

    I don't want to see Smallbone, Aribo, or Adarma in the starting line up on Saturday. Adarma I will excuse if he is on the left wing (Fraser isn't doing much), but the other two are simply nowhere near good enough.

    If you're bringing Sekou on (which wasn't a bad idea, because it was for Adam ****ing Armstrong, then play him up front, for the love of God).

    It really is a simple game at our level & we have a manager who is trying to be ultra smart. SR fell for his promo & CV. Similar to NJ. SR are trying to be ultra smart & out of the box. They are ****ing nitwits. ****ers.

    And why is our passing so bad? I thought that was supposed to be the one thing we would be better than other teams at. I don't recall seeing hardly any misplaced passes from Ipswich.

    I'm not usually one for knee jerk reactions, but I think I'm done with RM. I really hate his style of play, it's making very good players look very, very poor. We are so predictable and easy to play against it's embarrassing.

    Baz
    KWP Bednarek THB Manning
    Downes Charles
    Alcaraz
    Edozie Adams Sulemana

    Play 3 actual midfielders in midfield.

    keep playing possession football but stop making the players take insane risks at the back for the sake of ball retention.

    Yeah after the Jones debacle, to get this unproven, clueless prick in, is just an insult to the fans.
