Classic post International break game really, I very wrongly expected it to be a bit better, but time to accept they never are! In fact every game ive watched so far this weekend hasnt been great....The good news is the next game is only in a few days and a chance to kick on. I dare say if we'd had a fully fit Tronstad and Jimmy playing all season we'd be a good few points better off and would have conceded less goals. Fingers crossed both stay fit because you'd imagine they can also improve further with more game time.

Well to say hardly anyone was enthused by his signing it looks like we've got a good un. Quite ironic that the dingles wanted him the other year, they look in dire need of him now...

I disagree, I think we'll put on a bit of a show today. 4-1 home win. Bloody hope so anyway, this international break seems to have taken an eternity to end so I hope it doesn't end in disappointment.

In fairness Jim does have half a point, QPR look a terrible team, I was half expecting to wake up to news of Ainsworth being sacked. That being said, one of our problems has been converting chances, you can't deny that problem went away yesterday, let's hope its not temporary. We could have done without the damn international break disrupting the momentum from yesterday.

Honestly, just go to bed and stop harping on

On a par with lightweights who do pissed exaggerated typing 🥱

Pardon

Qpr are shite, but they've conceded 5 less goals than us so far this season, they don't seem to be shipping that many goals compared to us lately. I can see a pretty useless 1-1 draw. Hopefully I'm wrong and we turn a bit of a corner to reward those making the trip. I'm considering not watching, finding it quite depressing lately doing so, a break may do me good!

Everyone was demanding changes, we've got changes. Dolan for Siggy is a bit baffling, but the boy has a point to prove, maybe he's shown something in training to earn him a start.

Nonsense He's giving balls away that he previously calmly found an outlet for, he's been poor.

They've had a good run Liverpool with VAR in their favour. A joke tonight but they always even themselves our, apparently.

I don't think Leo has played any under 21 games, Eastham and Hilton have played the few games this season. He's being judged on training and 2 games where he didn't have THAT much to do. Must be hard for a keeper to make a massive impact in training. Assuming he plays in the cup at Chelsea, you'd expect he's fairly busy that night. Frustrating for the fans but I think it'll be a waiting game on this one.....

Whilst I'm not his biggest fan on the pitch, it's worth bearing in mind he's been through some really challenging times as a young lad, losing his best friend etc. We don't know the full picture but hopefully he is back smiling soon, whatever the issue may be.

Nothing to fear really, Chelsea have been far from amazing this season so far and not sure how 'up for it' they'll be. Should be a decent following too as with West Ham last season 👍 At least 4 prem teams will exit the cup too which should be another incentive to get through to the quarters.....

Something clearly wrong with Dolan. They felt the need to say he's not involved cos he's ill tonight, not sure I believe that. Is he pissed off because he's seen the stick he's getting on socials from the fans? Sulking about his contract issues? Either way I'm happy for him to stay away from the first team.

He does it a lot, its a weird trait more accustomed to continental keepers. Its got no place in the championship and he's got away with it countless times before. You can't even blame the defence for not picking their player up, he could have punched it a metre either side and would have got away with again, but it's basically an assist.

The thing is Gav, there would be absolute outrage amongst our fans if he got benched. He needs a bit of time out if you ask me, maybe give Buckley a run out. Oh 😕

I'm not saying Wharton is a bad player, just that he shouldn't escape criticism, which he is for the most part. He used to skip round challenges and be calm on the ball, never giving it away. Lately he will cost us more goals than he will assist.

I can live with that, I'd rather not be on Sky. Preston have already been promoted apparently so they won't bother showing their games.

When you have no confidence in the goalkeeper behind you, it's an issue and will affect performance. JDT sounds like he rates Hill, suspect he will play before Wharton if he does ok in the cup.

I'm surprised sky aren't tapping us up to get more games on, yet. Our games must be fantastic for a neutral this season! So tough to take the result after the second half fight back, I've seen many Ipswich fans saying we're the best team they played, recurring theme ain't it? I must admit the first half was absolutely terrible though. We need Wahlstedt to play decent against Cardiff so he gets the nod against Leicester don't we? Pears made some good saves yesterday but it's just not enough, if you want to punch so much take up boxing lad (probably do better than Joyce last night). Also, Adam Wharton is getting off very very lightly for me. Granted he's a young un but he's making the mistakes week in, week out that Morton got grief for last season. Let's see what tronstad offers in the cup.....

I wonder how many stewards he's actually got on for the game? Can't imagine it would be too difficult if someone wanted to get in the Blackburn end with a Waggott Out banner. Away from this place I never used to see his name getting mentioned much, its definitely being banded about more and more though on various socials. I honestly don't know how you people who've met with him can calmly sit in the same room, breathing the same air.

He had 3 or 4 players behind him at that point, including his goalkeeper who should 100% be letting him know that Clarke IS there!

You can't really fault Ipswich's record in competitive football matches, 1 narrow defeat to Leeds in around 30 games?! Very, very hard to see us getting anything here I'm afraid - unless of course everything clicks into place and we convert a few early chances. I mean its surely going to happen sooner or later right? I think its time for Leo to start in goal but I still expect JDT to ask him to prove his worth vs Cardiff in the cup first. Hopefully Siggy gets the last 30 mins, but again he might need to put a shift in Vs Cardiff first. I'm gonna go for a perhaps slightly ambitions 1-1 draw. Early goal for Moran cancelled out with a late, late Hirst equaliser......

The plan as I see it, is to fly out the traps like mad men, get a few goals then reduce the tempo. However. When the goals don't come we have an issue! Obviously can't maintain that tempo for 90 minutes, I don't believe we ever plan to though. JDT and the team need to learn how to adapt and adjust the game plan if the goals don't come in the first 30. When we lost games early last season we were dreadful, utterly dreadful. So much so I wasn't sure JDT was the one. In the games we've lost this season I don't think we've even been that bad at all for the most part. Also believe we'll give someone an absolute pumping in a game when we're a little more fortunate in front of goal.
