Bare is an understatement, we're a few injuries away from someone on here being called up!

It's a real worry. I've already cleaned my boots and given my phone number to FL just in case.

We are in real trouble if I get the call because I am 70, overweight, riddled with arthritis, very unfit and totally devoid of talent

Mind you, only a few weeks ago a few people on here would have selected me ahead of Simms

We didn't create enough over the 90 but the fact remains that if the ref had done his job at 0-0 it would have been a very different game. One in which it would be difficult to see us losing.

Nah.

It's far more important to concentrate on staying up.

I thought we played ok. Just a blip we bounce back I’m sure of it.

We should have been playing against 10

Squad depth is the one thing that could possibly stop us this season. We just don’t have good enough cover in a few positions.

It’s the only thing, I think. But people need to learn not to overreact, the window opens in under a month and we aren’t going to blow our entire lead in that time.

Same as the Wrexham game, injuries cost us, plus Rudoni not being match fit.

With our small squad we just knew it would catch up with us.

I think the people who take a defeat like this badly are those with highest and perhaps the most unrealistic expectations. I still look at the table and see how far ahead we are of 7th because my objective for city every year these days is play offs

a keeper is just the same as any other player outside the box.

All that matters is the gap to 3rd place and every team can and will drop points and get injuries.

Sheff Utd and Norwich remembering how to play can only help us too.

yes but when a keeper panics that the other team are about to get a good scoring chance and picks it up then it is by it's very nature DOGSO

It wouldn’t be on the same scale money wise as the example but we need to go and drop proper money on a big PL loan or two like Villa did with Abraham to get over the line.

We’re probably as good as in the playoffs already so you will at least have the extra income from that to offset a bit should we not make top two. It would genuinely be mental from Doug not to throw a couple of million at such a glorious chance.

I would have some sympathy with a reluctance to sign permanent players in January, particularly when you can legitimately say we don’t know what league we’re buying players for. It isn’t the time for prospects ideally.

No worse than the one that happened earlier on Eccles.

Anyone know how many bookings Grimes is on now, I've lost count.

Stewards were absolute Hilters apart from the Romanian girl who was wet

Also, home fans were appalling. Absolute dog shit in a proper ground.

After 19 games it stretches to 10 so players on 4 won’t be suspended until 10

I think*

Probably would have been, before any one gets weird not saying the ref was crocked, it's just he clearly had decided that Ipswich being an ex PL would be less "dirty" on the pitch than us.
