Ray ranson, fucking hell

We've stopped doing the basics right.
And that's been happening for a few weeks

You could say it's been months, Rushworth was pretty much MOTM for 6-7 games running in Oct/Nov, thinking of Watford and other games.

 

[Nick]

Too many players out of form. MVE and Tats having mares, Rudoni still under the weather...

Need to pick it up second half. If we do, can see us winning but not with a repeat performance of that half.

How long can rudoni be excused though? Same as mve having a cough.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Hoping for a second half like against Derby earlier in the season. The signs are there, definitely more goals in us. Just need to be better at the back. Back 4 aren’t playing as a unit.

 

[MAFF]

This is like the 15-16 Mowbray season all over again

 

[ptr]

Rudoni 20 more mins then get Wright on.

 

[larry_david]

So frustrating. Got to be better.

Simms has to look up for rudoni
Mve completely free and hits first man

Also the team are refusing to pass to sakamoto and I have no idea why as hes making things happen

 

[JSL]

We can still turn this around with our posssession but MVE and JDS need to sharpen up. Suspect Woolf will come on for Thomas due to his head injury

 

[Adge]

Great goal , slight delay on my firestick Trevor Francis is playing for Birmingham

Yeah-Mick Coop has to do better there!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We win this 3-2.

Hope so

 

[Jamesimus]

Ray ranson, fucking hell

Not the January signing we wanted, but the signing we deserve.

 

[CCFCSteve]

I'll be honest, I think the performance has been alright. Keep going. MvE poor.

Just loose as fuck at the back for their goals. Looked half asleep. Dominated possession, they’ve been clinical, we haven’t

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

Basics been absolutely dreadful as they have been for weeks, team looks devoid of any confidence.

MVE particularly poor again for me, these are here for the taking also. Early goal after the break their fans get on them and we can win this.

 

[ptr]

One positive of today is that Ipswich aren’t winning!

 

[Great_Expectations]

Players not wanting the ball again…..

Still this.

Everyone looks scared on the ball, it’s an absolute world away from a few weeks ago.

Zero creativity or desire to do anything innovative or at times even get on the ball.

It’s a poor performance.

Genuinely worry every time they attack.

 

[Evo1883]

WE WILL WIN 4-2

 

[Tommo1993]

‘We’re playing well’ people will keep saying when we’re sitting 9th in the table in March.

 

[David O'Day]

I think we've been OK on the ball Tbh. Could/should have scored 3 - Kitching has to score and Simms has to pull it back for Rudoni.

But we've been terrible at the back. MVE having an absolute shocker.

EMC should have done a lot better with his header, we've created chances, we've just had 2 awful brainfarts at the back

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Rudoni needs a rocket up his arse. Start to impact games and not be a passenger.

 

[Tea & Busquets]

They’re getting lucky the stats show it, we will win.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Still don’t think a win is out of the question though.

Two absolute cloggers at the back, so feeding in high balls and slow attacks is counterproductive.

 

[Boicey]

Lampard needed to address the glaring weakness of MVE getting caught out of position forward. That's on him.
Rudoni has muddied the waters in getting the ball out wide quickly to EMC and tats. Torp is a more straightforward option and a better choice when he's fit.

 

[torchomatic]

I blame Wright and Brau.

 

[Shannerz]

I'll be honest, I think the performance has been alright.

We've had most of the ball, should have been ahead when they scored the second, but conceded two goals where it looked as if the defence have never played together, the energy levels are low, and the decision making is terrible.

I can't see how that was alright.

 

[SkyBlueChris]

We win this 3-2.

Exactly, next goal crucial, Wright off the bench to score the winner!

 

[lifeskyblue]

Defensively all over the shop. Full backs ok going forward but defending they don’t close space or challenge or organise.

 

[Hobo]

How is JDS getting more of the blame here than MVE?

Absolute amateur hour defending - he can see the and it’s a horrendous decision.

Boo boys always going to be boo boys I guess.

I said last year people get blinded by MVE as a attacking threat. But his defending is often very poor. He gets second chances due to his pace, but that doesn't make him good defensively.

 

[RoysterE17]

That’s because it’s an absolute piece of piss @RoysterE17 and you will forever live in the shadow of electricians on site

as all electricians are

 

[Otis]

Just loose as fuck at the back for their goals. Looked half asleep. Dominated possession, they’ve been clinical, we haven’t

That's it really. We have dominated for large portions of the game, in terms of possession, but they look really sharp when they counter and we have made mistakes at the back.

Kitch should have scored and Simms should have passed that one chance to Rudoni.

We need to be more clinical.

 

[djr8369]

Genuinely forgot how horrible it is to be so stressed by football

It’s making it so much harder. We’re not used to it!

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

‘We’re playing well’ people will keep saying when we’re sitting 9th in the table in March.

‘Prem is rubbish anyway’
‘How can we expect to hold onto a 13 point lead when Ipswich have more money than us’
‘Yes it’s March but we’re still seeing the impact of the flu’

 

[Chris1987]

Get your wallet out Doug. Going to piss away £100m trying to save £10m

To be fair we've no idea what's actually happening with transfer negotiations currently. Can only be judged at the end of the window

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

This performance and the last few have been a virtual plea for reinforcements. Having said that, MVE has been burnt out while KKH was there all along.

 

[DT-R]

honestly if we bottle this points lead i think may just give up with football

What was 12, could be down to 6 by the end of today. We truly are covving this up arent we?
