Positive performance against Reading
Stuck with 3-5-2
Players coming back from injury
U23s impressing the watching Mick McCarthy
....ok, it's probably a false dawn |  |

Yes, it's safe to say you are.
But then you're not interested in actual opinion are you?
You just like a whinge and a bit of attention.
Christ, you're not even a real hamster.
(Yeah I know, down-vote). |
Christ on a bike you are boring . |  |

It's not boring. It's a take on a Stewart Lee joke.
Unless you don't like him, then I suppose it is a bit boring. | |

Between August 13 th and October 22nd, bishop played two games, which netted us four points. He was on the bench for every other game except Leeds away. So In that period we played 13 games. Bishop started two and we picked up 4 points scoring 2 goals and conceded 0. Skuse and Douglas started 10 of the other 11. We scored 4, in those 10 games.
Jonny Williams started 1 game and was sub 7 times. How much did his loan cost us, and why was he not getting more game time. Cos douggie is different class. McCarthy can't help himself, he looks to not lose first. I look to beat the opposition and then look at what they can do to us. I think we used all 4 at Wednesday and won. We did the same the following week against Forest and that game was lost in the first 20 seconds. And that was that for this 4. He stuck with Skuse and Douglas through drab performance after drab performance. He has to go. |

Today Milne will have intensive PR training before his interview on ICR.
He will come across much better and by the end of the week everyone will be agreeing that he means well and has been an excellent MD.
The long term view is that this club is heading towards League 1 whatever people say and whatever our managers do. |  |

I listened in on the wireless as per usual, I can honestly say, regardless of who's said what, it's been pretty dismal to listen to for a while, but Saturday was a real shock, I was actually 'listening' and not just having it on to find out what damage was going on.
Then the reports on here, were largely encouraging, twitter had virtually no complaints from those who went and all seemed happy with the performance.
Clearly the fresh faces can have an impact. Training changes...these new lads are eager to impress, the old usuals now have a bigger squad to compete with, they up their game accordingly, there can't be any complacency when there's plenty of people who want a spot on the pitch.
Small squads aren't great unless they're full of quality and can afford to lose a player or two and still be better on paper.
Let's hope that U23 performance was indicative of those players willingness and want to be part of the first team on a regular basis.
Look....we go on a run, if the performances are improved, if we're having a go, if we look good on the form table for the remainder of the season, there's every reason to have a bit of hope... |  | | |

I think people need to stop swinging their opinions back and forth on the basis of one result.
Less than a week ago the world was imploding after the Derby game. |
Even bigger implosion after Lincoln but Saturday was a different Ipswich
Agreed do not base everythign on one game but, the way in which the new boys rose to the occassion there is room for a bit of optomissim -
Unless of course MM reverts to type for the next two away games??? |  | | |

Whether the long term confidence is returning remains to be seen but make no mistake we are in a relegation battle and towards the end of any season the teams at the bottom pick up unexpected points. I was so pleased with our display on Saturday but brought down to earth with all the late goals and winning goals scored by our relegation rivals. Although it worked on Saturday 3-5-2 leaves us very open at the back and Knudsen and Berra are not comfortable with it. I hope we revert to 4-4-2 against Villa and perhaps pick up at least a point or nick a win. If we can survive this season the squad does look promising for the future although the loan players may possibly be lost by us particularly if they impress. Fingers crossed we can get enough points to keep us up and then progress next season. | | | |

I was impressed with the midfield and Taylor at the back for once it was entertaining.why didn't Mick bring in these different forward thinking mid fielders into the club last summer.I don't need us to be world beaters just pass the ball forwards more. |
Even tho' this was a basically unused bunch in mifield it was good to see them working as a unit and runing both with the ball & for each other
Ok it was no perefect but it shows there is a way forward; drop the old guard = onward & upwards | | | |

They've also picked up 51.7% of their points (and five of their eight wins) against teams now in the bottom six. Their primary strength is against the weakest teams. |
We're 2 points off the bottom 6...
It would be a good point. | | | |

My one concern is 5-3-2 worked well against Reading who played a similar system, however it was terrible against Derby (albeit with some different players) but Berra and Knudsen will never look too comfortable in wider or more attacking positions than what they're used to. So against someone else we might have a Derby-like outcome from that system and all the positivity crashes down again! |  |

The encouraging thing was that as MM pushed Knudsen further forward No 37 dropped back to support Berra. This has not happened before so when Brra has beene xposed in the three at the back game it has not been a happy picture.
Having said that there still needs to be a bit of discipline at the back & No2 showed he is more than willing to assist in making this happen | | | |

I think this is a rather key part of your post, that you seem to ignore yourself, but I think it was the main difference.

Not really, the new midfielders clearly help, but the system worked against a team with no real wide men, I think Berra especially will still struggle when he faces wingers who drag him out wide and run at him. | |
