People can whinge about the ref all they want but the fact is they’ve looked faster, stronger and won everything.

We look like we are half cut.

Grimes and Rushworth the only ones with some real credit in the bank from that

Who the fuck is doing that drumming?

 

[jto123]

Rudoni and Torp are seen as some of our best players, but they need to prove that and not live off a reputation.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Furlong is committing the offence first…

And then dives claiming a strike to the face
Cheat

 

[covmark]

Worst half of football I've watched in a long time. Ipswich aren't great, but we were terrible.

 

[CovLis86]

He wasn’t at all it was just totally weak.

The push was as clear as day. Don't be so desperate to back your own opinion with nonsense.

 

[Otis]

Will take that. 0-0

We will be much better in the second half I'm sure and I am still really fancying our chances.

 

[David O'Day]

Furlong is a twat

Rudoni has been complete dogshit since he came back into the team and our performances as a team have been much worse. Get him off for Eccles and drop him for the next game.

 

[Jamesimus]

Could have been a lot worse.

Weathered the early storm and then seemed to just turn the game into a bit of a battle - which certainly suits us more at the moment

Ipswich playing right through our middle far too often.

The save from Rushworth was something else.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Currently not in it sadly. Rushworth save only thing giving us a shot still. Have faith in a big FL team talk to get us on track.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’d snap your hands off for a point now

 

[Diogenes]

Thank fuck we got in at HT without conceding.

Absolutely terrible performance. Ipswich are a good side but we are handing everything to them. All the basics are missing.

Hopefully a rocket from Lampard will do the trick like it did against Swansea or else this is only going one way.

Oh yeah and the refs a complete ball bag.

 

[fatso]

Well, shit first half, but we are still in this (somehow)
Eccles or Allen for Torp
And Simms for Sakamoto and go 4-4-2
If we leave it as it is with the ball not sticking up front we are asking for trouble.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

I'd take Rudoni off and get Eccles on. And if we weren't so short of midfielders, I'd be bringing Allen on for Torp too.

But I actually think Lampard may switch to the 3 / 5 at the back at some point in the second half. Get the wing-backs into the game a bit and get us up the pitch.

 

[wingy]

We're not getting close enough to them,too much Room as they're recieving the ball something we're not normally guilty of, seems positional awareness off.

 

[Jamesimus]

Our fans are simpletons

Clearly under instruction not to press yet everyone's fucking screaming at them to do so


However we have been utter wank

If we press the keeper, they will have even more space to pass through the middle of the park!

 

[Briles]

Just watched that rushworth save again. Mental save and still stood up for the follow up.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Don’t know what to suggest if this illness is continuing to work its magic but we need some semblance of control in the middle.

 

[mrtrench]

Can't find anyone in blue with a pass, have we even completed one? Ipswich are winning the first, second and third ball and outnumber us everywhere.

Are they playing with 15 men?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

They've been all over us. Not sure they need the refs help but getting it anyway.

The ref is a total helmet. He just seems to skip around grinning and smiling like Ned Flanders whilst making brainless decisions.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I don’t really get people whinging about Furlong. Him going down is only hindering them. it gives us a break from the relentless attacks

 

[Shannerz]

That was a horrible half of football.

So poor; EMC looks on it, but whenever we get the ball to him, he's surrounded by three with no support at all. Other than him, it's been dire, tbh.

Only thing to say is it's still 0-0.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

we have got a lesson on how a team of premier league players will outshine us - TF ipswich started slow they are a 100M pound team - if we go up half this team go else we will do a southampton and get pumped - if we get anything out of this game be happy

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Will take that. 0-0

We will be much better in the second half I'm sure and I am still really fancying our chances.

Take the draw all day long!

 

[Winny the Bish]

Ipswich’s centre forward has completed more passes than Rudoni and Torp. This is embarrassing.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Also that’s one of the best saves ever, absolutely sensational

Damn straight and then they kick the shit out of him and get a corner

 

[Shannerz]

And then dives claiming a strike to the face
Cheat

We've been shit, but the referee is letting them do what they want.

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

Furlong is a shit house. We are being steamrolled in midfield. If Torp and Rudoni don’t get a grip I want to see Eccles and Allen. Need a bit more bite in the middle of the park.

 

[duffer]

Not even sure what the answer is here

Hopefully frank does

Eccles for rudoni immediately though

That's not a bad shout, Rudoni isn't quite on it at the moment and we're looking a bit low on energy.

I think we'll see a much better second half from us though, there's no way FL will accept this level of performance...

 

[Otis]

I don’t really get people whinging about Furlong. Him going down is only hindering them. it gives us a break from the relentless attacks

Tis really daft. They have the momentum. He just keeps slowing the game down

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Eccles for Rudi please

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

People can whinge about the ref all they want but the fact is they’ve looked faster, stronger and won everything.

We look like we are half cut.

Grimes and Rushworth the only ones with some real credit in the bank from that

Grimes???? Mmmm he’s not been great

 

[gspotgaz]

we look like we’re playing in slow motion compared to them. Torp and Rudoni painfully slow and not in the game

 

[Ricketts]

I predicted two 5-0 against these and Swansea. I believe my total score was correct, but not the balance. So 9-0. Still leaves us chasing that elusive 7-0 this season.

I might change my prediction if that’s okay. 0-0. Nobody wants to lose, Ipswich are better.
