    Dont know what others think but imo i think its time for chopra to go or at least resign himself to a seat on the bench . He's a player i think with little pace , very rarely will he take on a man and beat him . a player who does get the odd goal here and there but thats more often than not put on a plate for him .

    The most frustrating thing is the amount of sitters he will miss is unbelievable but no one seems to be bothered about that but if one of our defenders screws up all hell breaks loose .

    Of the top of my head i can recall at least ten games from last season and this, that we would of won or at least drawn if he had capitalised on these put on a plate opportunities .

    I know the chopra lovers will be saying its not that easy when your out on the pitch but for a seasoned pro on probably the highest wage at town you tell me eh

    Been saying the same thing for ages. Doesnt play at anywhere near the standard he is meant to be capable off. He was meant to be our saviour but has done nothing in his time here. What was our last decent strike force? I would say Lee/ Counago/ Walters was the last time I thought we would score on a regular basis. Stead done well enough but wasnt a regular goalscorer and lacked support/a partnership. Scotland started off slow and fat but now looks a decent player yet he cant complete 90 minutes.

    I don't think you can blame any one player. My uncle told me he overheard Chops saying last season that he hates playing for Ipswich and he couldn't wait to get out of there. Cant say I blame him.

    He backed himself not to score yesterday. He got decent odds as well!

    Said it myself for a while, Chops is not good enough. Scotland and Taylor should lead the line.

    Got slated for suggesting he wasn't good enough before the season but he isn't scoring freely and doesn't look like he is a player who can make something form nothing. He didn't help himself saying he was going to bag 30 this season!

    When are we going to bite the bullet and go for someone like Maynard? Obviously easier said than done...If Taylor's preferred position is striker then put him there.

    Early days but inconsistency in team selection never bodes well...

    Agreed, we've already used too many players, we need a settled first eleven.
