Horrendous performance from most of the subs again. Gueye’s complete lack of effort in game after game means he should never play for us, ever. Tavares looks nowhere near a professional footballer but at least managed to fall over in a good spot.

De Neve is easier to forgive as he puts in the effort, he’s just not very good.

Baradji is ok, could be decent for us, and good to see Cantwell back obviously.

Which bit of Gueyes lack of effort was it?

The inability to win a header?

The clumsy jumping or not jumping in some instances?

The jogging about offside like it was a Sunday?

Or perhaps the unawareness to latch on and run on to a perfectly swept in ball?

Seen enough, was fun while it lasted. Adios.

Pretty sure he would if he could

The bias bas-ard did score for them, by not producing a certain red card.

a bizarre substitution,bringing sidnei on (he`s as much use as a one armed plasterer)and poor game management has done us again,dafts subs aside i think we really do lack leadership,travis is a big miss in that dept,he never stopped talking and directing

Forshaw and Hedges were both knackered. Baradji did well and knows how to press and Tavares was our only option for that role.

Fresh legs needed in January.

Another hugely disappointing end to a game so soon after Saturday but I really take heart from those two when we had done enough to win in both.

I thought tonight was the best we have played at home this season and for a change we started on the front foot and played like a home team should. The big talking point was the potential sending off of the Ipswich number 5. For me it was a straight forward decision and they should have been down to ten. Davies is never going to get across to challenge Morishita and probably the weakest referee I have seen for some time for some unfathomable reason didn't see it that way.

We took the lead deservedly and made a few changes which upset our rhythm a bit but we still should have seen the game out. I haven't seen their goal again so I'm not sure if anyone was at fault. It was a sickening end but I think there were lots of positives and if we can win in Saturday and Tuesday then eight points from four games is a decent return.

I liked the huddle from the players and staff at the end and hopefully we turn these last two sickening ends to the games into a siege mentality.

It was weird, sometimes tried then sometimes didnt. Both him and Tavares were wandering about trying to conserve energy despite coming on for the end of the game.

How hard can it be just to look lively?

Other end of the spectrum Ohashis engine is genuinely awe inspiring. Once he hangs up his football boots he should see of he can get in the Japanese olympic marathon team.

Bro has a list fucking hell.

I'd say Cantwell is Vocal and visibly so

I actually considered writing a bit of a defense for Ismael after some solid performances lately, but then the BBC interview popped up. Oh my god!

The whole attendance tonight could have fit in the JW with room to spare...holds about 10,500.

It was mainly because we decided to once again sit back and soak up pressure - maybe that's all we can do with the quality available to us. As soon as Ipswich decided to start playing rather than fall about constantly they actually looked a threat, but I'm sure it's not a coincidence that it coincided with the likes of Taveres and De Neve on the pitch. Is anybody going to ask Ismael why he refuses to give Pickering or Ribeiro - far superior players - any game time? I suppose not, as they'd probably get banned. 

We’re not very good at it…if that’s all we can do we’re Facked

What interview is this?

[Waggy76]

Might as well blame Cantwell if you're pointing fingers at de Neve. We invited the pressure and looked nervous but still gutting.

We look like a team capable of staying up, but injuries can continue to pile on and there are suspensions, poor run of form (this isn't it) etc.

Really wanted to beat McKenna and his team tonight!

January will weaken us too!

Ismael harnessing his inner exiled. 😄

[Groundhog]

I'm sorry Val, tell us why you can't bring Ribeiro on to see a game out, instead of De Neve? What is going on?

[OsloRover]

He has every right to be furious. The referees in this league are a complete joke. Something needs to be done.
