Thought exactly this. Ismael hasn't introduced any consistent style/approach. Doesn't seem to have a specific game plan - which was literally the only thing I expected him to do. High intensity for 90 mins. Piss poor manager. The long throw is a waste of time too. If you play Millar at cb, you are already one tall payer down in the box. If there's only one or two 6 footers in the team to compete for the throw, it's meat and drink to the defending team. No point bothering with it. Now if you have 4 or 5 of Gueye/Axel/Carter/Wharton/Alebiosu/Gudjonsen on the pitch, it makes more sense. 1-3 Stoke today but good chance it gets called off.

What's your opinion on Gueye and Ohashi now they've been here a year. Were you not expecting 15 goals grom Ohashi this season?

Is that 5 consecutive hone defeats including Bradford? When did we last have a start as bad as that?

You can't defend like we do and say we don't deserve defeat.

Into the bottom 3. Not getting out of it.

Shit pass from Hickman I think as well. Poor all over the pitch. Sums up the state of the club.

We aren't unlucky. Just shit.

Slow and ponderous when going forwards. Can't defend crosses. Millar isn't a cb.

Awful defending. This manager can't set up a team to defend well.

So predictable.

Where is the "pace, power and resilience" that Gestede said we were recruiting? Don't think the manager has much of a clue either. Bottom 6 all season I reckon.

Look at the bright side. At least we won't have to read about the game in the LT!

That Hickman is a liability at rb. Back to square pegs in round holes. Both Ohashi and Mori poor.

Going to lose this by 2 or 3. Way off it.

piss off Ismael.

Take Pickering off and move Hedges to left back. Bring on Kargbo wide left. Take off the Hickman lad and put Cantwell with Tronstadt in the middle. Take off Ohashi. Two up top. Bring Gueye and Gudjonsen on. I'd be doing that at HT.

Good save from Toth but defence all over the place. Only seen the last 15 mins but we've been poor all over the pitch. Not sure why Pickering is back. Awful.

If it is replayed in full. Charge the Ipswich fans full whack again.

what a joke

Don't want this abandoned.

Hickman has had a good game but why risk him on a yellow in these conditions.

Was jus going to post the same.

Henrikson must be crap if he can't get on that bench.

I'll summarise for you. We had an awful start but the last 3 games have been more encouraging (despite the loss with 10 against Norwich). We'll know which direction we are heading with Ismael by the end of October. My expectations have been reduced by the player turnover so if we comfortably avoid relegation and a few new signings show promise, that will be a relative success. Still not sure what his brand of football is about though.

Only plus from Tavares was he actually lasted the full 90. Probably because he was a passenger most of the game. Early days though.
