no way this team survives in the top flight.

Of course it wouldn’t do but the starting 11 wouldn’t be recognisable to what we have now.

Last night showed us a couple of things. The Ipswich players can turn up for big games but don't give it all for the smaller games and that their 170m side has better reserve players than us.

We're at the top with a gap because the teams below us can't hit consistency. It isn't because we're brilliant. If they don't hit consistency we don't have to be brilliant.

We just had a really hard November and December. A fair few said they would reconsider our chances if we were near the top. We're 8 points above 2nd and 10 points above 3rd. We've had injuries to our big players and a virus rip through the squad. JDS red card has hit us hard but he will be rested and back soon.

Why did we keep knocking it long when we never won anything all night,every second ball fell to them every 50/50 bounced to them a bad night all round we will need to bounce back with 3 points on Friday.

Jesus, some of the comments towards players/manager/team are beyond. So classic of todays society to react to everything, rather than be patient and look at bigger picture.

We got beat by a team littered with quality and they all turned up, very good and tactically excellent. It happens, it’s football. That’s the Ipswich I expected all season, they beat every team in this division last night.

there are so many factors which effect us, this flu which is and has effected most players on that pitch - that’s fact, I know one in particular been playing and struggling with it.

Layer that into a thin and knackered squad. People had off days, again allowed.

we are top still, enjoy it ffs. See you at Charlton.

Because the internet is is a microcosim of opinion. It's also a place here some people just instantly ie everything is either great or crap. No nuance just instant opinion. We were beaten by a team stronger, faster , betwtr in the night with far more resources at their disposal than us .
