Having now seen highlights, it were a no score draw again but at least the team showed a touch more determintion that previous games just recent. The opportunity we created, actual shots on goal, seemed a lack of conviction, a sort of hit and hope from those that tried from distance. Will accept the players have all but given up on a top six finish, that has been evident for many weeks and even months now going into this game but back in August when the fixture lists were made, guess a point at Charlton would represent something of an adequate score.

Real frustrated with the chances we have missed over time this season. Tired by this point of the reiteration but once last look at the league standings, if there had been a number of factors i.e. rid of Lambert long before he did the damage (should not have been appointed to begin with) key players out through injury and a vociferous home crowd to aid the players at Portman Road, the belief we could do something and this League really was within our capabilities etc . People talk about next season, seem to miss the moment and focus on things to do when they could just as easily be done already.

All told a better point from today but same issues persist. Some of the new owners when coming in alluded to us featuring in the EPL again within two or three years. New players, ownership and manager or not, guessing it could take a while longer for that vision to come to pass.

In isolation, not a bad performance and result. Just another 0-0 draw to add to the rest.

I’ve finally lost patience with Norwood. He is the best striker at the club, but his fitness can’t be relied upon. He doesn’t help himself by pissing around on social media.

Norwood fits the type of a lone striker in a Cook team, but we definitely need another striker that can hold the ball up and actually score goals. Jackson doesn’t fit the criteria. Pity we didn’t take the money offered last summer for him and brought in a better version of Hawkins.

Good to see KVY back - hes a big plus.

As Paul Cook said, these players can’t be trusted . I’d put Norwood at the top of that pile . I won’t be surprised to see him moved on .

KVY is another one . He really needs to shows PC over these last 5 games he can stay fit . His skills are undisputed . Just stay fit!
