Torp was the big miss today. Without him they were able to sit deep and isolate Simms while soaking the pressure.

Torp is the player that drags defenders out of their lines with his ability to shoot. They didn’t look too worried about that today.

We did. Lets hope Bling has changed his philosophy on transfers.

Oddly I'm ok with that display, it didn't feel like a 3 nil loss. They were pretty lucky with decisions. On another day that's a red card and possibly the keeper goes as well.

Also think we might have needed that to hammer home to Doug how thin the squad is when we lose a few at once. Rudi isn't fit yet and KKH isn't a winger. We definitely need some bodies in Jan. Keep banging on about it but I'm baffled some on here want to keep a lean squad. Far too risky. We need cover/competition on both wings. We need another holding midfielder and I would get someone in to cover Dasilva without having to lose any threat down the left.

That's why I said tweaked. Obviously wasn't a pull, maybe it was just tightness or cramp, but he definitely felt something.

if he'd tweaked it he would have come off even if we didn't have a sub left, he isn't risking it when we are 3 nil down with minutes left

Doubt it.

MVE might go through on goal and get sliced out the ref will miss it.

Or the Preston goalkeeper can pick up the ball wherever he wants and get laughed at by the referee.

The match report on the BBC website says they put in a "superb performance".

I guess the truth lies somewhere in between. They probably deserved to win, although the scoreline flatters them.

Let's be honest, its a result that has been coming. Weve been way off the pace for weeks. Been behind too many times, and a team with the depth Ipswich have, you cant afford to do that. I dont think at any point today did we look deserving of the win. Rudoni looked Rusty, KKH was a passenger, Grimes, Kitch and Bobby all sloppy in possession at the back. Ive not seen as many sideward and backward passes since Sammy Clingan left. We couldn't break down their formation. In JDS, MVE and KKH we've got 3 of the fastest full backs in the division, yet we didnt once use that as a threat in the counter attack. The play was slowed down and passed backwards in pointless possession along the back line. It was either passed backwards or a hopeful hoof to their defenders heads or their throw in. Eccles was the best player on the pitch for me, so to drag him for the ever negative, ever passive Allen when the ball was already being passed backwards was a strange one.

That said, 3-0 massively flatters to deceive, as much as we were bad, Ipswich weren't actually that good either. Not 3-0 good.

We can moan about yet another referee bottling yet another big decision, and down to 10 men at 0-0, it could well have been a completely different game. But we cant blame the officials for how poor we were to a man today. And have been for a fair few weeks now.

Win at Preston for the first time ever and all is forgotten again.

Just like after the Wrexham loss-no biggie. We are at bare bones again but we can still bounce back.

I just don't understand what position KKH was playing rly.

Hopefully saka is back soon and we can play with familiarity again. Torp too as Allen and Andrew's were never gonna get us back into it imo

We did have chances today though and imagine our xg was good. Their keeper played very well

We go again

xG <0.5

We need players back, possibly to tighten up.

Hmm, I disagree with you in part re: not looking deserve of a win at any point. I thought we were the more threatening side in the first half and unlucky not to be leading, let alone behind, at the break.

The obvious notwithstanding, KKH has to do better with the header from EMC's cross and a top save by Walton from Eccles. I think Ipswich would have been delighted to go in at 0-0, let alone 1-0 ahead.

Perceptions and all that, but I do not think we were that bad. Ipswich just had a lot of luck from the referee, and a truck load of quality on the bench. And, to be fair to them, took three chances, which players of their quality should. Hopefully Grimes is okay, and we get Torp and Sakamoto back, and we go again on Tuesday.

Recent games makes me think 3 isnt enough, we'd be royally screwed if Dasilva or Grimes get injured and the wingers both need cover minimum. Loans will be fine for most of those.

We can't rest on our cushion other teams will go on runs

There’s a lot of positives to take from this performance. 1st half, we weee the better team, concede a goal against the run of play. The second half was a reverse Millwall away where we conceded goals 2 and 3 because we were pushing for a goal.

The squad is thin. 2 goalkeepers and 4 defenders on the bench says it all, we need to get some bodies in Jan.

Doug has made a lot of big calls since being here. And more often than not makes the correct call, even if, at the time it doesnt feel that way. He makes very good and valid reasons for his making of decisions and is clear and decisive in doing so. However, after watching his TalkSport interview midweek, his reasoning for wanting a small squad, so everybody feels part of it, has been our downfall today, I feel. Let's hope it's only a blip, and doest turn out to be the downfall of the season. We need investment in January, and today is living proof of that. I also think Bamford scoring again for Blades may also have been a poor decision. Unless he was asking silly wages like £70k a week, but in his position im not sure he had the right to demand silly money.

I think if we’re top come Jan some prem/top division clubs will be willing to do couple of loans made permanent on promotion which is probably the best way to get the right quality without risking financial stability of club

Goalkeeper handling the ball isn't usually a straight red, it has to be denying a clear goalscoring opportunity as well. Being off centre has saved him there.

We've got no hope if the rules allow goalkeepers to pick up balls whenever they want.

Honking second half that. Most of them looked knackered. Andrews and Wright tidy. 3-0 probably unfair. Their keeper made two or three really good saves. Could do without Preston away next.

Maybe it's exactly what we need.

What better time to try and beat the hoodoo and now we will be dying to bounce back from today.

no, that's not true or by that logic it can't DOGSO if it is off centre.

We never needed Bamford, would have been a massive waste of wages. Running Tats and EmC into the ground is dumb though. Wingers or attackers that can play across the front is where the money needs investing
