Pickering or Ribeiro are the obvious answers. If you're defending a lead you bring on capable defensive players, not a player whose only attribute is speed.

It will be one of the reasons home crowds continue to fall. Watching us under Venky ownership is soul destroying enough as it is, without adding hopelessness and anxiety to the closing stages of every match. When we finally got some respite from that under Eustace it was almost immediately torn away by the usual internal bickering and disagreements which led to us downgrading to Ismael.

A lot of it is cope, but it's understandable in the circumstances. I think we've only scored more than once in 4 of our 18 matches. Little wonder we're struggling as this isn't a team that has the quality to consistently keep clean sheets. I believe it's also 4 in 18. It's sad that many now consider what we're seeing as "playing well", but in context of the squad and manager I understand it. I'm just confused about why anyone would seem content or satisfied that this is our level now.

Alebiosu would be a huge loss, he's one of the only players in the team besides Cantwell who genuinely makes things happen. I think he'd have a few more assists at the moment if he had a half-decent attacking lineup to work with.

For what it's worth, I don't see that Ipswich team getting promoted. Our ragtag bunch of randoms have been objectively better than them in both matches we've played against them this season. Expect Coventry will carve them up at the weekend if that's the level they're at. If we don't beat Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood then we are in trouble. Slap a Venky's logo on it. Underachievement and despair guaranteed since 2010.

Ipswich were so poor that we should have been at least two or three up. Whilst I agree the ref was an absolute disgrace tonight, with a better team we simply aren't going into injury time needing to once again cling on to victory. What we're seeing is a curse - the Venky curse.

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.

Ipswich deserved absolutely nothing from that. An embarrassing performance from a £200m team. Unfortunately our lack of quality in the squad massively hinders us when we need to put subs on. That's on the owners and their underlings. They have ripped the team apart and we're left with only being able to score a single goal against the worst team to play at Ewood this season, and inevitably conceding in the final moments yet again.

Disgusting. No idea who to be angry at.

Ipswich players suddenly not rolling all over the floor. Odd that.

Deserved goal, that.

An awful lot of money Ipswich have spent for... this.

Good half from us, if we had better quality in the team we'd be ahead. Ipswich should be down to ten.

What in the world is this ref doing? This is scandalous.

If we had better quality up front we'd be one or two ahead by now. Ipswich have been really poor so far, resorting to the dark arts very early to try and stop our momentum.

It does seem set in stone that we'll lose tonight. Sod's law and all that. It'll be a free hit for the manager and board regardless as most fans will blame the original ref / EFL for the decision to replay, even if we lose.

He shouldn't be allowed to own a professional club again, really. Not that I expect he'll be back even after the three years are up. The additional six points deducted are irrelevant to Wednesday at this point as they know they're going down. They probably would be even if all deducted points were given back to them. It should mean they start next season with a clean slate, which is the best possible outcome for them at this point.

You can argue whether Hedges' contact was enough to cause the player to go over or a foul to be given. The bigger question for me is why did he give the ref/lino a decision to make in the first place? He could have just come around the Wrexham player and shielded the ball from going into the area. Or took a tackling position from a more sideways position. He had time. He didn't need to go into the back of the bloke. As one of the most experienced players in the squad he should have made a better decision.

Isn't it potentially something like 9 points? If they were to go on a good run of form and finish 3rd or 4th then they could still possibly keep their playoff place even with the points taken away. I think automatics are extremely unlikely, but playoffs could still happen in theory. They'd need a really quick turnaround in form though, pretty much immediately, and sustain it for most of the rest of the season.

They have the highest wage bill in the division so I'm not sure you can seriously claim financial poverty as an excuse for them being 16th. They're either paying very average players a lot of money, or they've got a manager who is making a talented squad look very average. If the owner can't find money for any further serious transfers then Cifuentes isn't going to be able to build a new team for promotion in the near or distant future. Any points deduction makes it even more imperative to have as many points as possible before it kicks in (if it's applied this season). I guess we'll see what happens in January. They're either going to have to back Cifuentes in the transfer market (not just freebies and loans as they did in the summer), or roll the dice on bringing in someone who can get a tune out of the very highly paid players already at the club.

Exactly the cliché that's used when players are under offer or being hawked around for sale. Do we have players in the team that should play even if they aren't "right in their mind"? What "type" of player is this, versus whatever "type" Cantwell supposedly is?

Seems odd to me that the Wrexham player would personally speak to Ismael after the game and admit it wasn't a free kick. I'm curious as to exactly what was said and why. I get the feeling some context might be missing. At the end of the day if our home form wasn't so shocking we wouldn't be in a position where a good point away from home isn't enough, regardless of circumstances. Of the teams below us we've lost to Norwich, Swansea and Sheffield United at home. We haven't played any of the others at Ewood yet. Keep losing to relegation rivals at home and that will do us in, not last minute draws away from home. The fact we're even in a relegation scrap after finishing 7th last season is disgraceful in of itself. No comment on that from Val, though. He's incensed to even be asked such a question, apparently.

Putting on subs is clearly a bad idea for us.

Considering our team that was about as good of a half as we could have realistically hoped for. Dom and his boys have been absolutely dire, but probably not likely they'll be that bad in the second half.
