I'm really angry about this one.

Wirh us for being absolutely crap, we didn't turn up on the day. That's an absolute awful performance first and foremost especially with our bogey ground up next.

And with the referee. That arsehole should be absolutely obliged to stand in front of our team and explain why their player did not receive a second yellow. It's absolutely disgraceful. But as ever, he'll get protection from the authorities and so it'll be more of the same.

It happens. On to the next. Chill all.

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.

 

[PVA]

Far from our best but I think we mostly matched them, certainly wasn't a performance worthy of losing 3-0

Fuck that ref though

 

[matesx]

Bookies spot on as usual

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

If it’s 0-0 at half time it’s a completely different game. That late first half goal killed us.. 2 goals chasing the game then flatters them..

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Need to be losing that 4-0 if we are serious this season

Hilarious that one Hill, should become a comedian. Do you tell them sort of jokes down the city arms?

We were great first half

 

[CCFCSteve]

We’re gonna lose games. Not sure what people expect. Just one of those days when nothing really went our way.

Can only think those slating the performance missed the first half

[oscillatewildly]

No problem acknowledging defeat- Had this down as one today but it’s a bit taboo to voice it.
And there are deffo half a dozen more defats to come along this journey, but 3-0 is a fucking thrashing!

 

[Pusb1]

Two teams below us win.

If we bottle this after the heartache of recent years i fear i'll never be able to watch football again🫠

 

[no_loyalty]

Poor performance not helped by another atrocious set of officials. Need Sakamoto and Torp back in on Tuesday.

 

[Mr Panda]

Few players didn’t really get going today. EMC and Rudoni in particular for me.

No Torp is a blow for how we advances our play and his set pieces.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Last seasons issues are slowly starting to manifest again.. We’re conceding far too many goals. Make that 8 in 4 now.

Good one hill83, great crack

 

[Ricketts]

I’ll take a draw

 

[southern_comfort]

Poor performance from most of the team today, and poor ref, but we need to up our game on Tuesday and put this behind us

 

[Paxman II]

Just not a good feel on the pitch today. Could still have been different had their keeper not turned up. But we got what we deserved tbh. A few just not on it, and yet i always felt Ipswich were there for the taking. I think we set up with too much respect for them and that's how it turned out. Why he didn't bring on Wright earlier, Wolfenden and Milan back to his rightful spot is a mystery. I expect Wolfenden would have been chomping at the bit. We ended up lacking the creative balance and the fluency went out the side. Ipswich not that good, slightly fortunate goals apart from the young lads. felt like we just gave it up.
Hopefully Sakamoto, and torp fit next game and Wright ready to play left side and give EMC a rest.
We will be fine. Ipswich now confident of their revival and I suspect will get better now. We must win one of the next two and not lose to keep our players belief intact and business as usual. Grimes just not his day, his outs were not before him today with the changes. Can't be changing the side like that again and those tactics tbf, which I think Frank got wrong today.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

I will say as a little moan, I do think we would of faired better if we sat back like we did against Middlesboro.

They’ve struggled all season when teams sit in against them

 

[Tommo1993]

I’d wait until the end of the January window to hedge your bets on promotion. Let’s see how much he wants it.

 

[SBT]

We battered them for much of the first half and obviously it’s a totally different game if the ref sends off Hirst but ultimately we were just not good enough to win that.

 

[covmutley]

Chill all. We lost a match against a string team. Score flatter them as we were pushing to score. Loads of possession. Just wasn't our day. We keep going.

 

[Shannerz]

Get a proper reaction on Tuesday, and this result doesn't matter.

 

[Tealeaf]

Got to listen to CWR now Clive has wound every body up about the non sending off

 

[jordan210]

How have we gone from so many clean sheets at start of the year to leaking goals left right and centre

 

[Macca]

Always going to happen at some point. Highly likely we will still be in the top 2 come Jan then time to strengthen the squad

 

[Skybluekyle]

I've calmed down. Teams lose - we're a team, therefore we lose.

Nice easy game to bounce back at least...

Top of the league, we're having a laugh!

 

[ptr]

Andrews looks a prospect, but Allen does a job.

Getting a bit tired of the Allen does a job thing.

Tidy enough on the ball and fine when we are in possession. But midfielders were just gliding past him today at times. Can’t get around the pitch well enough for me, Andrews looks like can.

 

[usskyblue]

Second half was more level
Simms was pretty shocking today

 

[The Philosopher]

It was like a Robins era game.

pass back pass side pass back let them regroup because out strikers aren’t getting back onside.

 

[steve101]

Paul Tierney is now above Sheffield Wednesday in the table, on 3 points

Well given you said sack Lampard after 4 games and get robins and Viveash back im sure it’s an opportunity to make nonsense digs

 

[Shannerz]

Two teams below us win.

All of the teams are below us.

It's inevitable two of them would win.

I don't care about other teams' results; we have enough of a cushion that only ours matter.

 

[PVA]

Grimes looked like he tweaked a hamstring at the end. Christ imagine if he's out for a bit.
