Just got home. Soggy and cold. I’ll take a point. Not a game I’ll remember for anything football related. On we go to Gillingham. COYY
Hard to tell much about anything from that. Ipswich looked decent and I liked the big forward Keane. Either of us could have won that and I think we’ll both be up there. See you at Wembley.Thought we, Ipswich, were bloody terrible tonight. going forwards (bar one headed chance early on). Defence fought well in tough conditions. We maybe edged the first half, you looked the more dangerous team second half.
Referee was pretty good I thought, good decision to go off and get work on the pitch as it improved when teams came back out.
He got most things right spot on - better than the usual sh**e I've seen in this division.
All the best, see you at Portman Road
Is that your normal standard or well below par?Thought we, Ipswich, were bloody terrible tonight. going forwards (bar one headed chance early on). Defence fought well in tough conditions. We maybe edged the first half, you looked the more dangerous team second half.

The pitch conditions improved because it stopped raining....ridiculous decision to take the teams off all because of a fantastic sliding tackle.....the games gone to the pansies........ffsThought we, Ipswich, were bloody terrible tonight. going forwards (bar one headed chance early on).

What time did he get wrong?A weird game - we did ok in patches, they did ok in patches but the weather was the deciding factor. Can't say I'd want to watch Lambertball more than once a year - the whole thing was dreary like the manager and too snide and negative. Norwood is a comedian or an actor, the Ref got it right when Mous pulled him down - Lambert is too dishonest to imply otherwise.
Thought Browne was good, we miss Cadden and Henry out wide, we look ok, but not as incisive with the ball and it doesn't create as many opportunities. Bapstiste just keeps on learning and getting better; if only Fosu was able to get the ball out from his feet and move it on.
All in with the weather, a decent result but I don't fear them at all.
The Ref was ok, had some strange moments and got the added time wrong but for a young Ref, he did get rather stitched up by it all.
so many mistakes in that game,its the worst ive seen us this season.Well, well below par. We put in a fantastic performance at the weekend. We missed Jackson up front who was a late pull-out due to a tight hamstring.
Awful performance from us so more than happy not be taken to the cleaners.
Erm it was quite wetso many mistakes in that game,its the worst ive seen us this season.

yep I do know ffs.Erm it was quite wet
I mean as an overall game,saturday was reasonable in the second half.You can’t have be
You can’t have been there for the first half on Saturday then.
tonight was a reasonable performance in anti-football conditions.
Positives included:
Mous - colossal at the back and leads the team so well.
Gorrin - Breaks up play and tonight was no exception
Baptiste - his vision! He’s seemed to see things no one else on the pitch saw at times.
Browne - looks to have more physical presence this year and I think as a 10 he will become hugely influential. He was my MOM tonight by a distance.
Negatives:
Eastwood - Looks short on confidence. He’s simply not as commanding as he needs to be and looks indecisive at times which breeds nervousness.
Long - defensively he’s reasonably sound but his lack of attacking threat and limited delivery is a cause for concern. Reinforcements required ASAP.
Ruffles - thought he was extremely poor in and out of possession 1st half but improved a touch in the 2nd. Looked a little fatigued to me (understandably!) cover and squad rotation would be beneficial I think in the left back position.
Fosu - Give the guy a break Robbo. Can’t help but feel we are flogging him to death atm and I think his performances have tailed off so much that it’s no coincidence.
take the point tonight and let’s go get three at Gills. It’s not the most salubrious away end but let’s back the boys in big numbers - they deserve it! COYY’s!
btw, Baptiste looks a very decent player
Careful lads, you’ll set people off who think he’s good but not THAT good.Baptiste - his vision! He’s seemed to see things no one else on the pitch saw at times.
