Beat QPR and it’s 5 wins in 6 in the league. Some of the meltdowns and doom-mongering is just embarrassing.

May have missed it but what was wrong with our 'goal'?

As dreadful as it was to watch for the last two matches, least there both done and can focus on the league.

QPR is a good test to see if the wins were a purple patch or not

I'm moving on with the rest of my day.
My overall thoughts are:
Leeds are a demonstratably dominant team this year in the second division (though heard they lost their Cup tie today??), and even a suffering PL team like Ipswich can bring loads of talent off the bench to punish an average second division team. Losing these two games is not the end all be all. Just shows a stark difference of how we can man up and do well against half (most?) opponents within the Championship, and how better teams can truly and cruelly punish our own mistakes. I don't think there's much more to read-into other than that.
Setup and lineup today just didn't look like it was going to work out, and it didn't. Two tough-ask games back to back and a third approaching with minimal downtime in between is a rough expectation for Frank and the players. Plenty of individual mistakes made today by certain players, true. Plenty of opportunities given to our own bench players that they simply couldn't rise to on this occassion.

Happy pleasant weekend to you all, go and have fun with your friends, family, dogs, etc.

I can't have fun after watching that shite. Frank it was dreadful, your team selection was dreadful. At least let us know y, you don't give a toss about the fa cup. Then I could stay at home

We’re playing for point / playoffs so I’m happy we’re out . But to be honest we played well so I’m not dissing today . One less distraction, onwards and upwards #PUSB

We'd lost that at 2pm when the teams were announced. Had our moments, but they didn't need to get out of 3rd gear really, even if it flattered them. Take it on the chin and move on.

Exactly, worry about some of our fans complaining about that defence that will never start another game it’s what happens when you HAVE to rest players, you’ve got 3 of your starting 11 injured and grimes cup tied,

Agree on this. What was the point of keeping Burroughs as back up to MVE when you don't play

But I'm sorry Lati has to drop out. Looks like when you play the shit kid in 11 aside cuz their parents have had a go at the manager to play him

Not his fault, he is played there. He shouldn't have been. Why keep Burroughs and not play him?

Lampard just admitted the league is our sole focus.

Players needed resting and thinking about QPR.

Yes it is shit, as was the team selection, but it isn't the end of the world.

Before Leeds we were flying, so it's time to turn it on against QPR again. I'm not really happy with the way we've gone down against the last two teams either, but that will all be forgotten if we kick back off from where we left before we played two vastly superior teams.

No need to shit the bed tonight.

I think Rapha looked decent and quick on the ball just needs to work on his final ball, but it could just be a bit of ring rust

Absolutely not, to me he just needs to find his feet and shooting boots and confidence at which he could definitely do in league one. Someone like Wrexham (if they dont come up) or Portsmouth (when they go down)

Do you think any of them are genuinely top Championship defenders? Not a chance.

MVE is.

Thomas could do a job in a top 6 side.

Bidwell and Kitching also capable.

We could do with adding a defender or two but it’s not catastrophic.

Thomas is awful. So sick of pretending he’s not. Got all the awareness of a slasher movie victim.

We were fine until it mattered, the last two games were worryingly similar too basically every defeat pre Lampard.

He is. Cost us on Wednesday and no better today. Slow, shit on the ball, but he’s got a skinhead and loves a slide tackle so he’s a cult hero.
