Said earlier, hate digging out players but if we’re serious about going up, Simms and wright just aren’t good enough,thankfully that problems being solved next week

Whether we go up or whether we don't, I doubt either will be here next season.

Who are we signing?

They’re not good enough for the prem and if we’re in the champ they’ve got 1 year left so will be sold for sure.

all I know is Simms or wright are going and we’ve got a replacement lined up, after the last few games it can’t come quick enough

 

[quinn1971]

Don’t mind losing to better teams ( and Ipswich are ) it’s the way you loose, anyone on here who’s even played Sunday league you gave 100% we can’t afford to carry anyone, wrights body language was awful, just not arsed

NEW ITK ALERT

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Maybe the rumours of Wright off to turkey were true...

 

[ccfc1234]

Would have liked to see us bring on Simms for Rudoni at half time and go two up front. Their formation did not allow us to play plan A and we didn't seem to try a plan B. No panic just need to put it right next game.

Head on the block

Are you just regurgitating what Bawtryneal said about Wright going for £13m?

Right, so I am guessing that's an anagram....

Head on the block.

"Hold back the Neo."

We are signing someone called Neo.

Is it this bloke?

no, not heard that,but wer‘e so close and when you’re main man hasn’t scored since october and goals are starting to dry up and his back up isn’t much better you can’t afford to hope they come good, we need somebody in now,lots going on

Youve got me that’s like a clue on 321

Interesting. Any ideas on who it is coming in

Let me get him a few more beers in, he’s normally pretty good, we’re def doing things in January, and we’ll come out of it stronger 100%

Hard one to take tonight, but a combination of tired legs & some players well off the pace against that level of opposition meant there was only going to be 1 winner in the end. However, It’s getting beyond a joke now with these decisions not being given.

We generally bounce back well after a defeat so hopefully we seem a marked improvement on NYD & Sunday, before we can rest some legs for the cup but I worry we are running on empty. Hopefully we will have a couple through the door by time we face Leicester on the 17th.

Indeed-let’s hope we don’t end up with another “Dusty Bin”

 

[quinn1971]

We were miles away from it but was it a pen ?

 

[OldBedrocker]

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

I feel he’s protecting his shoulder and playing within himself. We should sign cover in Jan and get the op done as he is not offering anything right now

Scary thing now I am home with a glass of scotch is this. We did play badly against a very good team, but this very good team only managed to get 22 points in the Premier League. The level of investment and players you will need to stay in the Premier if you get there are unreal. Our squad had a suggested value at the start of the season of between 90 to 95 and Ipswich's was 175 to 180. Scary if your an owner sitting on pots of values like that and knowing that to survive you might have to liquidate the squad, add another 200 million and treble the wage bill just to try and survive with the big boys.

In fairness to Wright and Simms the service they got was appalling. In theory we had two wingers out there, who provided nothing. In comparison despite all Ipswich possession, their best moments came down our left from a natural winger, Jack Clarke.

Wright’s hold up/link play was childlike in competence.
We struggled to get the ball into any forward positions for the majority of the match - certainly on the ground.
But Haji’s contribution (he wasn’t alone of course) was yet again utter shite.

More or less said this earlier

It's when posters suggest we have 5-6 players who are starters....
