Ipswich manager Joe Royle:

"We've given the ball away on the edge of our area because we were trying to play 'Total Football' and from there they got their equaliser.
"Defensively, I thought we coped well with Coventry's major attacking asset - which is their height - but two minutes of slack defending cost us.

"Once we begin defending seriously we will be a force to be reckoned with."

1 We have been playing total football for ages now. The number of times i see Town players pratting around with the ball, at both ends of he pitch is unbvelievable. FFS Kick the ball out if your defending , dont pass it across the 6 yard box and when your attacking have a shot, whats the worst that could happen ?

2 Once we begin defendeing seriously ? How many years have you been here royle ? How many years have we been saying this for now ?

my vote for post of the month.


Royle wake up and smell the coffee.

Whoever it was who was pratting about on the edge of the area, I hope they get fined Or are we not doing that now ??
