Never ceases to amaze that a lad can drink 10 pints of budweiser, 6 vodkas, 8 tequila slammers, round it off with a curry....., then get to the game on a sunday at 10am in the pissin rain and swing in a beautiful corner.

yet 3K a week footballers can't.

Bennets wanting the ball at the end there. No sign of fear.

That has to be poorest 45 minutes I have seen Ipswich play

Pitiful beyond words. One decent attack and only good thing can say is we are only 1 nil down

Well that was crap. We’re being forced to play their game . Everything kick and rush . Our midfield is non existent , meaning our front players getting no service. Meanwhile we need to sort out how the how to nullify their 6ft 3ins striker , because if we don’t they are going to score again .

deservedly behind at half time - lucky it's only 1.

Norwood being totally swamped by their 2 central defenders, something has to change

I would wager..... No, not today. ....., and hopefully wrong.

But TOO MUCH is wrong out there. It is sh*t. And that is an understatement.

My late mate would say......, "This is sh*t. In fact its not even THAT good!"

That's the trouble, though. Doesnt matter who the manager is when you have a squad devoid of quality - put crap in and you get crap out. Doesnt help playing only one up front though

Would help if somebody just breathed out there, Take a touch. The midfield are being rushed, the defending is shocking being totally honest

Can't pass, can't trap or control the ball, as rossi said Norwood is isolated. At least Cook is seeing us at our worse

100% re Parrott. Trying too hard. Needs to relax.

Totally agree, I think few are trying too hard. We lack that bit of craft, just somebody to take charge and cool the guys down

Think Jackson coming on would give that extra pace going forward. Unfortunately too many players off the boil. Parrott, bar the overhead, has little understanding with Norwood. Harrop and Bishop not shining like they should. Bennett's....well. Dozzell not finding his teammates.

Are we capable of finding another Town player even with a simple pass?
