Ipswich Town v Nottingham Forest preview and matchday thread

[ashfordblue]

Absolute sh*te performance so far, there could be a Tonkin on the cards here, diabolical defending.

[Magicmark]

30 mins and McGoldrick misses an excellent chance to get us back in the game. No surprise we're now the lowest scorers in the Championship missing chances like that.

We could really do with scoring before half time, but come on fans how about trying to give the players a lift with a bit of noise and atmosphere.

Unfortunately I can only see the fans getting on the players backs now we're 0-2 down will be lucky to get something out of this but not surprised as we are usually rubbish after a break.

Lack of man to man marking in the box!!!
and to concede in the fist minute is unforgivable!!!

[The Odious Mr Rossi]

Managing to watch this at the office - what a load of rubbish!!!

Berra - wtf was he doing for the first goal? He might have been masturbating, but he certainly was not watching the game.

Was going to break my embargo and go to next week's game, but no way am I gonna make the effort and expense to watch sh*te like this.

[Domhide]

Totally embarrassing, I am living in the Midlands and can hear my neighbours laughing, through the wall. Where is the defence?

[Magicmark]

Missing Webster badly. Now bring on Williams for ward who has been ineffective..it's hard to be positive now

[phily bon bon]

Absolutely shocking really really really shyte from start to finish. What a start, nobody wants the ball, headless chickens the lot of them. Passes to nobody or the opposition, no movement or desire. Knudsen OMG is he a professional footballer?

We will be lucky to avoid a relegation dogfight at this rate.

[Frosty]

I'm on holiday ( a bit like our defence by the sounds of it) , so I'm not missing much huh??

[nicscreamer]

This is embarrassing to watch

[shamm]

Another poor showing on TV.

[len]

I agree Charnwood!! someone mentioned that we have a sound defence!!
after this shambles i don't think so!!

[Charnwood]

You missing nothing Frosty.

Watching this who would believe Forest haven"t won a game away from The City Ground or kept a clean sheet all season.

Why oh why are we playing with so much less energy than Forest, and definitely less desire and believability.

Knudsen been terrible for a while now.

[ollie3686]

Was that a shot on target??

[Charnwood]

A little more desire now...

...but who would believe a win tonight would have got us within three points of the play offs

[ollie3686]

This is what frustrates me. McCarthy will fall back on the fact we played well towards the end, without addressing the real problems

[Charnwood]

Was that a shot on target??

in fact our 2nd!!!

[Charnwood]

Could this be the 9th time in 17 games that we fail to score!!!

The next 5 mins will tell, and against a team that hasn't kept a clean sheet all season, before tonight.

How bloody frustrating.

Come on Town, 4 mins added time,

[phily bon bon]

Deeply deeply disappointed with the display, how in God's name do we make forest look like Bayern München ffs, looks like our players are knackered and only going through the motions. So glad I didn't have to pay for the privilege and freeze my tits off in the process. Shocking times ahead.

[Shed on tour]

Forest's first away win and first clean sheet of the season.
Says it all!

[shamm]

No motivation in a home game after a long break. Especially with the opportunity to close the gap on the top 6.
Not sure what is required. No quality on show today.

[Domhide]

SKYs the Limit!

[len]

The cold night air must have affected our defence!!
not a good excuse!!

What a load of crap!!!

[The Odious Mr Rossi]

So, Berra totally at fault for the first goal, Chambers did his best to gift them a third, Skuse ran around like a great bearded numpty and contributed absolutely nothing. Our 3 undropables according to MM. God help us!!!

[verulam]

Hmmm...... Mick appears to have avoided giving post match interview to Sky. Presumably lost for words

[Charnwood]

Sadly our performance tonight was so poor even Mick would have struggled to find positives.

Very disappointed.

[bluejacko]

Just how low can this shower get? friggin SHOCKING!!
I can remember when Evans took over this club Taunting the scum at their place 'we are in the money'!
Well look where that has got us and god knows where it will go either.

That arsehole Knudsen was at fault for the first goal. Watch him the knob, he heads it then does the inexcusable of BACKING UP towards the area rather than following the damn ball out(worse than schoolboy defending) while Berra obviously thinks the tw*t has moved up with the play. Only to be left appealing for a non offside. No confidence no leaders no passion no drive no ideas no movement no invention no energy the list goes on.

Mick was too sh*t scared to even give a post match interview, bloody disgusting tactic, oh he gave a pre match interview, I can say one thing, in the first half we weren't up for it, 2nd half a bit better but I'm sure the players have lost respect for the manager, either that or what he instructs goes in one ear and out the other, Knudsen well some of his defending was absolutely crap school boy stuff, oh to get another Creswell, or Mings, I've lost count of the many times in matches we either don't turn up for either side of a half, and sometimes not at all, I said the Sheff Wed match result was a fluke, we are the worst scorers in the championship, QPR next up well chalk up another loss there then.

[len]

Oh dear! How will MM explain this one!
I'm sure Evans will have a word in his ear on Monday morning!!
