We had 6 people in our row with no Cov kit on show never seen them before - returned late from half time and left 15 mins before the end -

I hope I do not come off bitter when I say I was not impressed with Ipswich at all and we gifted three of the four goals to them via braindead errors.

First from Allen, second no specific error but we let him inside very easily (and that is literally all Jack Clarke does, well, besides falling down), and third and fourth were terrible passes out by Binks and Lati (I've not looked back, this is from memory so please correct me where applicable).

Overall, not too fussed about going out of the FA Cup and losing to Leeds. Beat QPR and the good feeling is back. With Grimes hopefully getting up to speed, a much needed rest for MvE, and the imminent return of EMC, Wright and Sheaf, and this could be a really interesting and, hopefully, exciting end to the season.

Agree with this. Don't agree there's a huge gulf between us an Ipswich. Thought they looked poor overall.
It was a total gift of a scoreline.

Let's hope that dreadful starting XI pays dividends against QPR.

Over the last 24 hours I've developed a strange dislike for their fairly inoffensive fan base.

Choice is wonderful thing

Leeds fans have always laboured under the misapprehension that they're a massive club, when really they're just a well-supported one. It gives them an arrogance that's not warranted.

I've always rather liked Ipswich, possibly more to do with their ground being my favourite one to watch a match than anything else, though. Being sponsored by Ed Sheeran is cringe-worthy (but better than a betting company, at least).

I think they were Manc fans building up points for the final that will
Inevitably get to with a dodgy offside decision

Tbf they are a massive club. Big city, big fan base, fair sized stadium and they’ve won things.

60s and 70s they were.

For most of my life they've been a bit of a yo-yo club (one title and a period where they almost drove themselves out of existence aside).

Their achievements in the last 40 - 50 years don't warrant the arrogance of a section of their fanbase, is my point.

Most fan bases in the Prem and Champ are probably arrogant and entitled to a degree though.

Lots of football fans are pricks. I concede this point.

Leeds is top city, though.

I’ve never worn a Cov kit to a game. I like to think I support Cov.

I also, and this is the guiltiest of admissions, left 10 minutes early yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve ever done it. BUT we ended up only getting parking right next to the stadium, and I was imagining how awful the traffic getting out would be, we were 4-1 down and had a drive back to Cardiff to do.
Hangs head in shame.

I left early along with about 10 others . What I hate more is when we play not championship standard players in a cup competition v a prem team in front of a big crowd.

, how many have we won in a different kit at home? I remember the Brentford game at Brum. All the others I can remember were defeats.

Need to see what happens in the summer .. fans have been saying some of those players where not the answer when Robins was in charge so we need to see what budget King can raise and allow Lampard to bring his own players in.
Grimes is great first signing don’t think anyone can doubt that.

If you think there's going to be a major turnover of players in the summer I think you're going to be disappointed.

These players haven't done too bad defensively since New year and I'm sure they'll be OK going forward but they're nowhere near ready to repel the likes of Leeds and Ipswich and getting to that level isn't going to happen overnight.

I feel it’s about the key signing he brings in .. and who leaves. We are an only 3 or 4 quality players short. Our bench has looked lacking again when injuries hit.
