We will have to agree to disagree then. We looked the most likely to score and were on top. We were dominating the game.

The lucky deflection changed everything

We weren't dominating at all, at best we were shading the second half before the goal.

Yeah really. He’s a cheat and a nasty prick

It's a game of football that he's trying to win.
To wish that on a professional is pretty disgusting.

I thought he gave as good as he got.

He bested EMC all night.

 

[Tommo1993]

Get this feeling we won’t see much of Brau again. One of the most frantic players I’ve ever seen.

 

[covmark]

Worried we’re going to seriously implode

this team needs 4/5 signings

Not like you to overreact Matt

It wasn't the game for him at all.

 

[Gint11]

We couldn’t pass, slow and lumbered and didn’t close down. They closed down and forced errors. They won 2nd balls, headers and tackles.

They 100% deserved the win. We have to dust down and go and get a result at Charlton but we appear to be out of form

 

[fatso]

and MVE

And Grimes

 

[shmmeee]

Three of those four games have been away, one with ten men for an entire half and two with illness and bent referees.

I think we’re better than Leicester and Soton. I think we’re a way off Ipswich. Team is on fumes already. But my main concern is next season if we’ve got a team that can’t play above its level.

 

[PVA]

That was really poor, but we look like a squad being run into the ground. Lack of depth starting to catch up with us.

 

[fatso]

Football?

 

[Travs]

There were a lot of questionable passes and decisions from players in our own half.

We've gotten away with them recently, but Ipswich are much better quality than we have faced lately.

Thankfully favourable results mean tonight was almost a free-hit, and we are effectively back to where we were a coupe of games ago.... but it gives Ipswich massive impetus and also can't have done our confidence much good.

I don’t have to like every footballer.

 

[Boicey]

Rudoni just looks like a luxury player who gets in the way at the moment.
I doubt Lampard will drop him though because he's viewed as 'quality'.
The Wright, Simms problem is getting serious. Maybe they will offload Simms in January and replace him. But that situation is shaping up badly for the run in.

People said the same about Ipswich after they beat us at home, and yet they were no closer to us before tonight. They are streaky.

 

[Tommo1993]

Personally feel we’ve been knocked off stride since we went to their place. Possible coincidence with the illness in camp, but I don’t know.

 

[DT-R]

Has the ref taken his Ipswich shirt off yet and how the fck was that Furlong not even booked

He was booked

And yet some fools will expect a full strength team against Stoke in the cup!
Utter utter madness.

We will recruit aggressively I think, but Ipswich genuinely have a Championship super squad which cost far more to assemble than we have available.

 

[Evo1883]

Had a feeling Clarke would be the one to do the damage however that's the worst I have seen us play for ages. Rudonis touch and all round play has gone to shit... We need reinforcements otherwise I worry a big drop off is coming

Rudoni having a free role appears ro be the main issue .. he has no fucking idea what hes doing half the time , completely slows us down

 

[DT-R]

We’ve lost against a team that was in the PL
last season.
It’s not a sign of imminent implosion.

No, but it could be a sogn of what is to come next season.

Play the youth team. It’s not important one bit this season.

 

[Otis]

We were not dominating lol

Tell Sky then. They agreed with me.

 

[skybluegod]

I don’t have to like every footballer.

Did I say you did?

I would hope you wouldn't wish a severe injury on somebody that could derail their career however.

Was v revealing about him tonight

 

[Cally Fedora]

Beaten by a better side on the night. Take a lot of stick for it but Torp for me is a luxury player. He and Rudoni anonymous tonight. Van Ewijk doesn’t even pretend to defend anymore. For some reason at the start of the second half we lost our heads and tried to win the free kick game rather than the football match. One of those nights. We’ll be fine

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

He needs to be on the bench. We had our best spell without him in the team this season.

 

[shmmeee]

We’ve played teams with bigger budgets and given good accounts of ourselves pre-Lampard. Not done it once since. Generally we beat teams worse than us and lose to teams better than us and that’s not great for a newly promoted side. We need huge amounts spending and I hope King realises that.

 

[skybluecam]

Ipswich had our number from the start tonight but some of the individual errors were so jarring.

Think the back line will look much better with Thomas and Dasilva back- Brau looked very nervous tonight and was probably the worst game for him to come in for.

Got to go and batter Charlton now and sign at least 2/3 players in Jan.

 

[Otis]

That’s rubbish Otis. Outplayed for all of the game apart from the first 10 of the second half.

We should have had 2 pens though although I’ve not seen them back

I disagree.

Let's leave it there.

Lots of overreaction again on here, as there always is when we lose. I get it.

It wasn't just 10 mins. Watch it back, that's all I will say.

 

[Nick]

After about the 6th bookable offense

 

[Speedie's Head]

First half Grimes was covering Brau and we got bossed in mf. Haji had only three touches. Vera kept hoofing the ball up the pitch straight back to them. Wright took a shove in the back when it was anywhere near him. Better second but not enough. The illnes and fatigue won out in the end I think. I had hoped for more from Rudi tonight I must say. Two obvious pens yet again might thave balanced things up a little.

Oh fuck off

 

[lifeskyblue]

What was frustrating was that we didn’t challenge for any second balls. We were sluggish in and out of possession. When grimes not at his best we are relatively poor. Back 4 all over the place and midfield non existent. EMC too engaged in trying to muscle the defender instead of beating him on the ground. Wright ineffective

 

[skybluecam]

I thought he gave a decent account of himself with some obvious nerves. Just a horrible game for him to make his first start, couldn’t build any confidence at all.
