Tough game. FL thought it would be.

Bottom line is, we are now just not scoring enough. 5 goals in 6 games just isn't going to cut it.

We definitely need reinforcements

At least Rudoni looked a bit more like his old self today and we did respond well after the equaliser, but that's not enough. We need longer spells than 10-12 min ones

At least the table is still looking good.

Great_Expectations · 2026-01-01T17:00:38+0000

Wasn’t buying into the narrative of players not trying etc.

But the performance today was actually very evident of that. Lack of ideas, lack of drive, lack of ambition.

Two games in a row we’ve looked low in confidence and devoid of ideas.

Nothing more than we deserve. The wheels well and truly seem to be falling off!

If we make the top 2, at this rate it'll only be because the chasing pack arent good enough rather than us actually cementing the place!

Doug, get your check book out and put your money where your mouth is before you completely fuck up the chance of a lifetime.

We’re still top by the way, and have gained a point on Middlesbrough. Are you okay?

Would have been a good win if not for Brau

Even before he came on you could see it coming! Im starting to wonder if not winning any 2nd balls is an actual tactic

mark82 · 2026-01-01T17:01:41+0000

After boxing day, for the first time, I'd started to believe we might go up. This is on me. Sorry all.

(If it helps, I now don't believe we'll go up, so hopefully that turns things around).

Danceswithhorses · 2026-01-01T17:01:43+0000

Amazingly, we've pulled further from M'bro and Hull (10 mins left-losing 1-0 to stoke) with that shit performance.

Hopefully Doug was watching.

Dissapointed with a point, and just generally that some of our players don't seem up for the fight the last few games. Hopefully it is just fatigue but it is frustrating.

He left on 80 minutes

Skyblueweeman · 2026-01-01T17:02:02+0000

When is BTA back?

Sky Blue Goblin · 2026-01-01T17:02:30+0000

Lucky for us we still have a big gap on Ipswich and Boro. Sadly for us if we carry on as we are we will lose it to at least Ipswich

Not sure on that. We did get in good positions, but made the wrong choices.

On two occasions at least, a pass was on in the box, but the player decided to take it on himself.

Ipswich will be above us by February.

They will probably overtake us on goal difference during the course of February as well.

Still, it's nothing we can't put right with 6 to 8 quality signings in January

MTK · 2026-01-01T17:02:53+0000

We looked labored and devoid of confidence. Almost as if we expected that whatever we tried, it wouldn’t work. But we collected another point in a game we could have lost. We are still in such a good position and there is a real opportunity for good signings to come in and really lift both the team and the level of performance for the second half of the season. PUSB

2 points dropped due to not making the obvious subs that we were crying out for.

That's down to Frank.

Middlesborough losing is the only positive today, looks like everyone wants Ipswich to win the fucking league.

He couldn't make the obvious subs because they are dead on their feet. We've rinsed them for all they're worth and the additions we failed to make in the summer are have the effect most of us predicted.

M&B Stand · 2026-01-01T17:02:58+0000

Point gained. Move on. Massive Sunday. Doug get the cheque book out

quinn1971 · 2026-01-01T17:03:00+0000

what did you expect, we’ve got to rest players and the squad isn’t big enough, you can afford to play, Eccles, Allen and Lati but not all at once, rudoni looked Better and we’ll be more or less full strength Sunday, relax 9 point gap to 3rd

It's not a lack of effort, it's a lack of quality and composure at the moment.

usskyblue · 2026-01-01T17:03:09+0000

This will be the most important January transfer window for a longfuckingtime

SkyBlue_Bear83 · 2026-01-01T17:03:12+0000

Garbage really, really need 3 points at Birmingham now to get us back on track but can't see it right now

Silver linings I suppose

southern_comfort · 2026-01-01T17:03:16+0000

There has been no improvement from when our form dropped a while back,this was points dropped confidence low and a tough game on Sunday
Hope we don’t waste this chance of automatic promotion if we drop into playoffs it might not happen.
I prey Frank can get some confidence back into them

covmark · 2026-01-01T17:03:29+0000

Some of the overreactions here are embarrassing. We've lost 3 games all fucking season, two of those against the parachute wankers.

Sky Blue Pete · 2026-01-01T17:03:29+0000

Not sure what the issue is but we win 1-0 without the brain freeze from Brau
Disappointing that

Boro have 1 point and 0 goals in 4 games. This place would be in meltdown

Covcraig@bury · 2026-01-01T17:04:07+0000

SHITE , playoffs at best unless we get some decent players

PVA · 2026-01-01T17:04:28+0000

Good job we've made it to the magical 40 point mark

Ccfcisparks · 2026-01-01T17:04:28+0000

They may well catch us, but im not sure scraping past Oxford at home is the game to say with certainty that Ipswich are now going to go on a huge run

mrtrench · 2026-01-01T17:04:40+0000

All my commentator bingo phrases came in today:

Kitching has gone right through him

Wright is offside

That's a poor pass from Thomas

Poor first touch from Simms

Good ball forward but Wright can't hold it up

fatso · 2026-01-01T17:04:49+0000

We will have Wright back against Brum

We've played the same number of games as Charlton have. You can't say EMC couldn't last 25 minutes.

And even Andrews for Wright would of given us a foothold in midfield.

If only we had strikers that could control the ball and hold it up, it just keeps coming back and putting us under pressure.

I'm sorry to say this but Haji Wright

Absolutely. If he took Wright off for Mason-Clark, we would have a forward who can control the ball and hold it up.

stupot07 · 2026-01-01T17:05:01+0000

Form since the end of November.

samccov1987 · 2026-01-01T17:05:28+0000

Poor again and to be honest i think we have been off it for the last two months.

We desperately need wingers and another midfielder. Not sure what was up with Torp.

Sick of Hadji, we all know there’s a player there but we don’t see it enough. Play Simms against blues it’s his shirt for me now.

Skybluefaz · 2026-01-01T17:05:30+0000

Brau is a busy fool.

Looks out of his depth although some will be endeared to his frantic nature.

StrettoBoy · 2026-01-01T17:05:39+0000

Time to take £200 million from West Ham for Haji?
