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 |  |

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. |  | | |

Villa who haven't won a game since Boxing Day (only two of those six being draws)? |  |

teams on a bad run usually use us to right their ship! | |

Could have a forward line that cost £27m too, to help them right that ship |  | | |

Only one of those were at Villa Park though, where they're unbeaten all season.
Would be a great point, let alone win. | | | |

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. |  |

Completely agree. We've done this all season, hence why we are in the position we are in?
Not one result repeated on a row should tell you of plenty of false dawns
Certainly some key players coming back which will help though [Post edited 6 Feb 2017 22:24]

Any team with the likes of Johnny Williams, Bishop, Lawrence and McGoldrick is going to do damage at this level.
It's kind of a shame really, as if we'd had the likes of Steven Taylor at the back, plus a clean bill of health to players mentioned above, we actually have a cracking starting eleven. | | | |

I was thinking this earlier - i guess one answer would be that he expected Bishop back from injury. We'd all be ripping his head off if anyone had been brought in and taken Bishop's place if he'd been fit. |  |

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. | |

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. | | | |

Agreed.
There will be ups and downs in any season and yes it has been very turbulent this year but Ipswich will always be my team and 1st love and that isn't going to change. |  |

The trouble is that the games themselves have gone from being totally outplayed by a better side like Derby to very good performances against a good side like Reading. We've not had a prolonged spell of either being cack or good but quite often being just dull. You're right , we shouldn't keep swinging opinions until there is more evidence of an upturn, or indeed downturn, but I feel that most of us want to have some hope and optimism especially after the double Lincoln debacle. |  | | |

To be fair there's plenty not suffering with severe mood swings too.
There's the posters for example who try to remain as positive and supportive as possible, almost regardless.
And there's other fans who are determined to find fault one way or another.
So there is some consistency.
Either way, like you say, it's good to have something resembling progress, in any form. |  |

I think I pretty much fall in the first camp.
But to be fair to the swingers, there was a key difference between the Derby match and the Reading one in that the personnel available was different, and those late deadline day additions were able to be included for the first time. We played much better as a result.
How we go on from that one game will tell us more, but at the moment it's the only game we've got to go on. Whether they make a difference to our season pattern as well as how we played on Saturday remains to be seen. |  |

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.
