A Hard Day's Night by Lennon & McCarthy (A) Ipswich 3/11/15

[truewhite15]

Expected nothing. Getting nothing. Que sera.

[Aanvalluh]

We keep being told the players are very good! Did anyone notice all the bids coming in for them in the summer?? No!! Thought not...League 1 here we come..At least we get to play Blackpool and Fleetwood...Fylde Coast double!

Fourth Division, the pair of them!

[Sponge]

Prince injured. Non RB Derek replaces.

[TANGODANCER]

Vela, Casado...Madine ofside. Free kick and all they have to do is run it down. Murphy gets another shot in and Amos whacks one. Bit of long ball all that's left now, maybe shot at goal by Amos. Instead they get another one close. Nine minutes left and....here they come again. Wheater gets it to Amos but they finish up with it again. Mic man having a chat about spending money and little talk of what's happening on the pitch. Let's have a financial debate eh, lads? Have they gone off? Oh, no, we have a corner and... and and....they clear. Throw us and....Derik, Feeney, Pratley, Vela, they get it back and come again. Ivanhoe has a gallop but back they come again. Boos for the ref then gives the Tractors a free kick. I've hears more action in a knitting convention. Amos saves a long attempt....and we get a throw. Homers bring McGoldrick on for Pitman to waste a bit of time. Casado still trying....but Feeney showboats and loses it. We try again and......it finishes back with an Amos save. Feeney and.....a Wigan.....

[TANGODANCER]

Three minutes and another dud firework. There will no doubt be positives......but not sure where they are. We really are a depressing lot right now. Think I'll turn the "action" off and relish the silence (till the fireworks start outside).

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Bristol beat Wolves. Double feckity feck.

[TonyDomingos]

Only 31 games to go .....

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Man of the match is Tango again

Worst thing for me is that bar a flurry in the 67/68th minute - Vela shot blocked, Wheater header saved - we didn't have any second-half attempts on goal until Feeney's 90th minute waft over

That feels like a team who'd given up

[officer_dibble]

Bristol beat Wolves. Double feckity feck.

We wont finish above 3 teams this season

+ Dons are beating Charlton and Leeds have feckin won. Couldn't be much worse. At least we've still got Charlton and Rotherham in touching distance, just need another shit team as rivals and we might scrape through.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Cheers Tango...

[TonyDomingos]

NL better give us a rendition of Yellow Submarine in his post-match presser coz were fckin going down.

This. Forget about what the other poor sides are doing. There's none worse than us at the moment. Right now I can't see where our next win is coming from

Ha, and if my prelim look at the table is right, that shit rival, the nearest plummeting team, is none other than Dougie's Not's Copse.

[HMX]

Prince injured. Non RB Derek replaces.

Eh? I misspelled Derik, but he's no right-back either? He came on to replace the injured Prince.

It feels like a club (including owner) that have given up.

But this bunch of spineless, soft as shit players 'all' want fcuking off - I'd rather see the U21's get valuable experience ready for next season in league 1 than pay to watch these useless tarts

[DJBlu]

1 win in 21 games.

Christ on a bike.

November last year was the end of our good run under Lennon.

This is grim.

[TANGODANCER]

The train ing clips show a million fast passes. I'd have the lot of them on full time snap shooting practise till Saturday. Our first touch always seems to to be followed by "Ready, steady, shoot.....oh, it's gone" We won't get another Klasnik, but at least they should watch his videos. Will Ameobi be fit for Saturday, or have we acquired another attendee for the Quinton Fortune Hospitality Suite?

[Prufrock]

Plenty of times over the last few years people have defended managers saying it's not their fault if the players don't perform.

Well, the opposite works too. Can't blame Derek or Prince for being simply not good enough to play at this level out of position. Can't blame the forward players for creating nothing when they're set up with no width, even from the back.

It's getting towards Owen Coyle levels of stubborness and just simple "what is that?". I happen to disagre with BWFC_I that signing two RBs was a waste, we've been crying out for fullbacks. Signing two full-backs and not playing either of them (when apparently neither is injured) is just mental, though. We're told he's fallen out with them both, yet Pisano is on the bench and gets 10 mins on Sat, then doesn't make the squad at all tonight. What's he done since then? It was bad enough he didn't play Sat, but now what?

Utterly unbelievable. The absolute basics of football are make the pitch big when you have the ball, and small when you don't. Other than giving the wing-backs oceans of space, we were OK defensively on Sat, but I've never a team attack as hopefully get it to a CM centrally, look up, nothing wide, go backwards, get it again, look up, nothing wide, give it away. Sounds like we set up the same again. If you're going to play a narrow diamond, both your full-backs have to give you width, and ideally your forwards too. We're playing Clayton and a lump, and Casado and a CB.

This squad is poor, but it's better than bottom. They're being hamstrung at the moment.
