Tractor Boys - the Barry Knight Testimonial Match

[bean]

A point would have been mint.

Useless pricks.

Don't think so. A point wouldn't have been good, ipswich are a bad team and this is a home match. A loss is an awful result, let's not mess about.

Would you take a point now though?

Yup, but I wouldn't have taken it before the match.

And to add to Bish's request...lets just ignore the postcode. It more pointless than banging your head against a wall.

Ipswich, first win away from home. Against you guessed it the team that feels sorry for everyone.

Not happy.

I'll see you in Jul for the League 1 fixtures.

A tad extreme that!

Bogdan back to form

I think we need an ignore feature on the forum. I'm gonna need it for the next few days with the joy that will be emanating from a certain postcode

Yup, I dont think I'll be bothering to argue with the miserable bugger. Hopefully he'll be in the home end and will have got mistaken for an ipswich fan when their second went in.
Clearly there are weaknesses inherant in the squad that need addressing. Dont seem able to score enough to bury a game and cant defend well enough to hold onto a lead. I expect there will be a few changes when the transfer window opens.

I think the more solid set-up is detracting from our ability getting forward. That said, it sounds like we create chances, we just don't put many away.

Transfer window we need to get rid of Afobe and try and find a goal scorer. Even if he is a clogger. If Ricketts is playing CB then we need a RB, ideally keeping Warnock. Much work to be done...

Why do I/we get so fecking annoyed at this?

From sublime to slime in 3 days.

Why can't they give equal respect to the opponents?

[BWFC_Insane]

Didn't like the system we played. But we were comfortable for most of the game. Then inexplicably threw it away.

Frustrating isn't the word. Had enough chances to bury the game but they hung in there.

For me we chased the game too much instead of bolting the back door shut second half.

I don't like that 4-4-2 and hope we don't see it again, but it's very frustrating how from complete control we've chucked it away.

No consistency in this squads performance either. Eagles was awful today. As was Spearing on the ball at least. And the less said about Ngog and Alonso the better!

Just found the feature

If you go to the User Control Panel you can add anyone you like to your 'Foe' list under the 'Friends & Foes' link on the left navigation section.

Watch everyone go add me to their list now

[Wandering Willy]

Done.

[thebish]

anyway - look on the bright side - we have steadily climbed to find a solid platform at 18th position in the league...

onwards and upwards!

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Done.

I can still see your posts

[BWFC_Insane]

Oh and taking Andrews off was a poor decision. Lost midfield completely.

I'd have criticised Coyle for it, so same goes for Dougie, not good.

I must start easing the pain by becoming a WUM.

This really doesn't ease any of the frustration.

Yep and there's a lot of mediocrity to offload ideally aswell. It's not so much a case of it being a bad squad it's just there seems to be a complete lack of consistency from our better players and a general lack of leadership from anyone on the pitch.Crazy losing an unbeaten run against the lowest team we've played but that's always been the wanderers way>

[SmokinFrazier]

I made a post a few days ago that I didn't want to see us rotate the squad too much. Fair enough, Freedman wants to analyse the players but we need to start building momentum. We played well, we beat a better team away and then we have a home game which should have been 3 points, yet because of tinkering with the team, we lost. That's unacceptable and I think it's poor management.

I'm not a critic of Freedman but for us to get anything out of this season, the results need to start coming. A win today would have been a massive boost, yet we played players who don't deserve to play and a system which doesn't work. That's not good enough.

Todays result has really frustrated me because I thought the last win was going to be the platform for our season. Very disappointed right now.

How far we have fallen.

oh come on - how long have you been a bolton fan??? this is what it's all about - constant crushing disappointment!!! Rather than piss and whine about it - make light of it... it'll keep you sane!!

and I'm sure Dougie will pop up soon enough and tell us where he went wrong....
