Popular Post ChippenhamRed Posted March 5 Popular Post Share Posted March 5 This is what we’re reduced to now. We’ve lost our fourth game in a row to a club who’ve just spent four years in League One, but it’s OK because “we gave it a go”. So what if it felt different. It felt different against Southampton and we’ve lost every game since then. I have zero faith in Manning now, and even less faith in the people that put him there. Meanwhile Ipswich join the long list of clubs that emerge from the depths of lower league football and pass us on the way up.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 It's always different against teams who have the ball more than us. We show our strengths then. You won't see these types of performance against Millwall, Sheff Wed, QPR - just for examples. The majority of games just won't go that way because of the dynamic of the game. We gotta hope more teams want to dominate the ball against us so we can counter otherwise it's going to be a struggle. Dreading looking at the fixture list. Can't think of the last time we beat a team when we had more of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kit Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 None of our chances came from periods of possession or breakimg them down, they were all from quick balls forwards in one form or another, probably 2, 3 max 4 touches by players from possession gained to chance. None of this addresses the massive issues under manning against the poorer sides of the division. Turning up against the better sides of the divvision and giving it a go but ultimately losing is great if you are picking up points elsewhere where you should but we aren't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southport Red Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Tonight our disastrous transfer dealings were exposed.

Swede Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 It all points to poor in game management yet again. He may blame the players for not making the right decisions on the pitch at certain times but not deploying Roberts to help Pring or use the experienced of Andy King is mind boggling and niave. Again to set up yet again with two subs short is also crazy even if it was a couple of U21's the squad experience would be immeasurable. It is yet another indication that he is way out of his depth at this level. I remember Cotts doing it to spite the owners for being rebuffed on signings before shortly getting the Spanish archer.

xerox6060 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I thought LM tactically first half got it right reducing free-flowing Ipswich to virtually nothing, second half I thought Mckenna got it right with his tactics and substitutions Overall I think the club will back Manning in the summer to build the team in the way he wants with the ingredients he needs...may work may not ..have some reservations but generally happy to give him a chance.

He expected this season to be one of consolidation but he’s enjoying every minute even finishing work early midweek to drive ridiculous mileage to away games he would have probably given a miss in the past. Thats the difference and what we do not have. We had it under GJ, getting to the playoff final.

I was planning to write something similar, but don't think I could've put it better myself. Today was undoubtedly an improved performance, but ultimately it's a 4th consecutive defeat for us. There have been a fair few posts on the forum tonight along the lines of - "Ipswich are quality, we gave it a go. What more could we want?" Granted, Ipswich are flying at the moment, but we were 2-1 up with 15 minutes to play against a team in the same division as us. How can we come away with 0 points from that position and simply be happy that we gave them a decent game? Do we really have that little self respect? That little self belief? That little ambition? If we come away from a night like tonight feeling positive, what does that say about where we are as a club?
