    To say I was annoyed at Ipswich's goal yesterday is an understatement. Deflection or not, several times different Ipswich players were allowed inside two players and it inevitably led to something. Even when we scored I wasn't confident we'd win, there was something edgy in the air. Letting Jason Scotland score is a bad sign, because lets face it, he's not good.

    Harding not good enough, same with Guly. The latter left Richardson so criminally exposed when defending at times. He's not a winger, proved last night by the fact he didn't once take on Creswell. I hope Danny Fox is back on Saturday, I really do. We desperately missed him last night. I can't beleive that I criticised him weeks ago. On that showing from Harding last night, we'll need decent cover for Fox if we go up.

    Lallana, despite getting in good positions, fluffed his lines all too often. Clinicalness, or a lack of it.

    I think Nigel got it wrong last night - too many changes. I haven't been on since last night or wasn't before the game to see much of the team news but I presume Puncheon and Chaplow were rested? Wrong move. Undermining any side in this league is poor. Yes it was a tiresome effort at Leeds but Ipswich played Saturday too, that shouldn't be an excuse for professionals.

    Saturday is a must-win, without a doubt. All the home games remaining are now. Trying not to be too knee-jerk like some people texting into Solent last night, but the lads have gotta regroup and focus now. We can't be nervous in home games. Get the job done early Saturday, THEN we can play the fancy stuff if required. Onwards and Upwards. Oh, and come on Watford tonight!
