[SBT]

Intentions or not Viveash should have had a word, neither should be starting, for quite different reasons of course.

If Sakamoto wasn’t fit enough to start, it’s hard to see who else was going to play on the wing.

That being said, I assume our loan agreement with Brighton was a big factor in the decision to start Ayari today.

…careful people, @harvey098 will be back accusing you of arrogance thinking you know better than Robins, even though his wholesale changes on half time show he ballsed up

Oggy, "there was a big gulf between the teams today"

"I can only assume Ipswich felt they had won the game in the second half"

"If it was a boxing match it would have been stopped at half time"

Will Doug trust Robins and the recruitment shambles with more money in January?

He's waffling

 

[glasgowfan]

Argh, that penalty miss is extra frustrating now.

We'll never know. If we had scored, the rest of the game would have panned out very differently. Maybe we would have pushed on, maybe Ipswich would have redoubled their efforts. We just don't know

If he doesn’t he has to sack him

 

[Boicey]

Ofcourse , hindsight is wonderful mind

You dont need hindsight to know that starting 11 was total madness.

 

[Blind-Faith]

First caller -“obviously I didn’t go today”

 

[robbiethemole]

Why is the unless Godden taking pens ? He is useless it's like we are giving a place to an OAP.

Fuck off boosh you’re such a boring cock

 

[Matt smith]

DK should be asking some serious questions on what he’s watching for the level of the spend in the summer

 

[Evo1883]

Again , hindsight is wonderful

 

[Matt smith]

Again , hindsight is wonderful

His tactics this season are poor

Are you now going to do this after every defeat , unfortunately we can't not lose again this season

 

[Evo1883]

His tactics this season are poor

Are they , tell me in which games you thought they were poor

 

[Matt smith]

Are you now going to do this after every defeat , unfortunately we can't not lose again this season

No to be fair won’t be judged on today

main issue was the formation change

 

[clint van damme]

His tactics this season are poor

To be fair you're moaning and whinging about something or other every season.
You're like one of those maniacs with the end of the world is nigh placards, eventually you'll be right and say I told you so.

 

[Evo1883]

First caller -“obviously I didn’t go today”

Bit like many on here though

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Are they , tell me in which games you thought they were poor

Ipswich

It'd alright, we've only got a local derby against Birmingham plus Southampton, Sunderland, Leeds, Middlesbrough and Leicester in the next 5 weeks.

Even Wednesday are beginning to build after two brilliant results and we never win against Swansea.

 

[Evo1883]

Ipswich

OK, continue , which other games

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Godden should be a late game impact player nothing more. If he starts over Simms next game I’ll be asking real questions of Robins

 

[calibrase6]

Play the right team we will batter them!!

Thats the point. Im not sure we will pick the right team.
Whats worrying me is Latabadieure arguably has been our best player this season and was brought in to be a right sided CB in a back 3. Sakamoto was brought in yet clearly doesnt fit a wing back system. He is a quality player as a winger with a back 4. Now we have changed formation it seems latabadieure has no role in the team.
Surely when bringing in players, they are brought in to fit a system. It feels to me like the management team got a load of money from player sales and just brought in players they like the look of without actually thinking about how they will fit the system we play or might play. Ayari another example. Clearly brought in for a wing back system and now in a 4-3-3 he has no role and so we tried shoe horning him into a wider role.
Were Wright and Simms brought in to be a partnership? Can Binks play in a back 4. Da Silva isnt a full back in a back 4.

You put Wright out wide and Simms down the middle. Which is hopefully what might happen next week.

And who plays on the other wing?

 

[Matt smith]

Now now now. Keep the faith

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

And who plays on the other wing?

O’Hare if Saka isn’t fit to start.

 

[Ashdown]

Indeed, twas a managerial stab in the dark and quite bizarre to change a winning team. Robins will roll out a myriad of excuses of course as he rarely puts his hand up. Alas ,it’s not a complete disaster , losing to a very well drilled team like that.
Doug King must be getting a bit twitchy though

 

[Tommo1993]

People need to knob off treating Steve Ogrizovic like a god. Hanging off his every word like its gospel truth.

 

[clint van damme]

Whats worrying me is Latabadieure arguably has been our best player this season

Hahaha!

 

[Evo1883]

So basically like myself , most people on here thought we'd win at Ipswich away , considering the outpouring of nonsense

 

[Ccfcisparks]

You do know we had just gone 3 unbeaten? We’ve just lost to the second best team in the league by a goal, hardly that worrying.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

OK, continue , which other games

Preston

 

[Cally Fedora]

Thought we were ok today. No disaster at all. O’Hare looked decent and hopefully it will serve to see the end of Ayari - not interested in players who don’t want to play for us. Need to see a front three of Simms, Wright and O’Hare. Sakamoto is obviously carrying a knock. Take the positives - there are plenty.

Against Stoke, Millwall and Plymouth .
