I think too many on here think like binary robots. Football is shades of grey we aren't shit we had a poor game against a very good side. We had 3 quality players out. Just got to move on to the next game now.

Go and read some of my posts on there then. Critisicng the fact we played a high line isn’t me slagging off the manager. You are so precious about it it makes me think you sleep with a Lampard body pillow
Sometimes you just have to accept a team is far better than you especially with the help of parachute payments and premiership players
Soft. Hope they all do their acls in the warm down
Let’s see if the same window lickers jump on this post criticising the tactics
Simms had a good second half I thought, unlucky not to score
Only positives is that the goal difference wasn't worse; Matty Grimes is a different level receiving the ball; Simms held the ball up much better second half. Sakamoto did okay.
Did you watch the game?? It could EASILY, no, I'll correct that, it SHOULD of been at least 9. Dan James alone should've had 4.Because saying they could’ve scored 9 is a tad silly

Not disappointed to lose to a team with the calibre of Leeds, they will go up. We weren't going to win every game and still a lot to work on all round.
Disappointed we gave them so much respect in the first half.
The second half was better. Great save from their keeper from Simms' header which could've changed things in a period when we were slightly on top. Great save again at the end from Thomas i think.
I thought Dovin may struggle after that fumble but credit to him, he too pulled off some good saves. Hopefully we take that second half performance and get straight back to it next league game.
Impressed with Grimes.

Even earlier in the season when MR was still in charge he was the same. I’d much rather it was just Clive and Oggy.
Do you go 4/3/3So yeh, anyone who thought Wright and EMC would struggle to get back in or that Grimes had to earn his place
All in at the earliest opportunity.
I don’t think Ipswich will even look that good on Saturday - Leeds cut us open at will, fair play to them
Think saying Lampard was exposed is a bit of an overreaction to be honest. We had a bad first half, then we were chasing the game (and playing much better) in the second half. Not at our best, but playing the best team in the league.
Yep and can forgive him his fumble, it happens and realistically didn't cost us the match
They basically stopped trying at half time and we still couldn’t get at them.
Really should have been at least 5 were it not for some decent keeping and poor finishing from them. Even getting 7 again I don't think we could've complained too much.
We did create a couple of good chances ourselves later on, which is a positive. Grimes looks decent, Saka did alright nd Dovin did well after the calamity that was their second.
Time to forget about it and look to the next game. Hang on, they've got Delap up front. Oh fu..

Got to put that down to experience, they have so much quality . It was a wake up call.
No need to be bitter, we are just not at that level, could have done with Haji to offer a proper threat but thats life.
We move on, Ipswich will have class too

Grimes should of started, Allen and Torp were never going to be at the level required to face Leeds.
BTA was poor on the ball and Simms was shocking first half, but did improve (slightly) second half.
Ipswich won't be that good. Expect them to be nowhere near full strength. Would be disappointed if we don't win.
They're light years ahead of us and most the league.
Take it on the chin and move on.

Lampard badly exposed
give it a rest ffs
he stuck with the same winning team, it didn’t work, he knew what to do and changed it, we looked better…
Isn’t that the sign of a good manager?
If you want a bite you could argue Robins wouldn’t have known what to do and probably made standard 70 minute like for like changes when we were 5-0 down, maybe?
Leeds are just head and shoulders above any other team we’ve played
Tell you what a few chances there should have been goals the stop on the line and the cannon off the cross bar. I thought 2nd half Simms did some decent hold up play too. Overall we absolutely deserved to lose and if it was by 5 I wouldn't be surprised but at least we had chances.
We were unlucky not to score from Simms header, and maybe the one at the corner at the end. They could obviously have had more too.
There was so much wrong with that goal before it reached Dovin. Not exonerating him but it definitely wasn't all him. Showed character the way he recovered.
Stopped trying?
They could've scored 4 or 5 in the 2nd half!
We were just 'less shit'.
