    Any news from the Ipswich camp as to whether they are rotating or going full strength?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Ipswich Town [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 8th Feb

    Tricky one tomorrow as some players do need a rest, but I think tomorrow is absolutely winnable. MVE and Rudoni are probably the main two, so Burroughs and Eccles likely the obvious too, albeit that’s a big loss in creativity in midfield. I can see the 4-3-3 argument as it gets Sakamoto and...

    Observations; Leeds were a level above, their speed on and off the ball was too much for us (and most teams in our league in fairness). However, whether it was tactical, a lack of confidence or just a weak mentality, we looked nervous and allowed them to play. It also meant most of our team...

    Grimes looks good on the ball but his free kicks are shit.

    I’d have taken Torp off he’s been hiding most of the game.

    It does seem that way but there is more to it surely. Looks like it might be the box which is more positive than a flat 4.

    On the surface that’s a negative change, as that’s now 5-4-1 effectively. I get nullifying their left side as we were overloaded but I worry that’s even less of an outlet now.

    Getting increasingly pissed off with us not doing the basics. Both their goals were a truly of it too. We’ve forgotten how to pass, move, track runners and tackle. For all their pressure it’s mistakes they’ve scored from.

    Ampadu is a tosser as well and absolutely not as good as he thinks. Get Simms riled up and if we’re going long he’ll win that battle.

    Also very worried this is Kitching red card territory.

    Chance for a quick throw? Nah let’s all hide. Rudoni aside they are all hiding.

    Weak mentality we thought had disappeared clearly has not. Nobody wants the ball and when they do they bottle it. However still plenty of time.

    We’re all saying the same: Overload down our right We look way too nervous We’re also going long a lot more than usual. Assuming it’s the plan but not working at the minute.

    Poor from Simms and defence so spread out it was easy. Sloppy goal to give away. We have to stand up and play now. Look way too sheepish and nervous.

    We’re looking nervous now and sitting in more and more. Need a chance/possession/crunching tackle to give us a boost and turn the tide.

    Massively overloading out right side. Their movement is very good. Tanaka constantly wants the ball and will make them tick. Good to see how we adapt.

    Back 5 100% playing as a back 5 so far. Plan seems to be to sit off their back 4/first stage and then press.

    Start with Allen. He’s on form, high in confidence and his energy will be important tomorrow. When we’re 1 up, bring on Grimes to be a calm and composed influence in the middle who can continuously recycle the ball. I do think we have a chance tomorrow. Everyone is beat-able and momentum is...
