Please just go Jewell. Really just had enough of this now. You're taking us nowhere but backwards and i'm sick to death of hearing how you're "talking to players". Get deals done or shut up as we're all sick of hearing your tripe!

Pathetic..did you see DiCanio on the pitch motivating his players on Sky tonight?..I hope someone was taping it for ME to watch..we have gone rapidly backwards since Magilton went.

Big few weeks ahead.

Well done to the town fans who travelled up tonight.

Made to look so ordinary - and this is pretty much Jewell's full-strength first-choice team. What on earth is the rest of the season going to be like?? Not even Ian Holloway could have flattered our performance tonight.

we are an absolute joke!! i really want some stability but 20 months in charge, loads of players in and out and we are no better than when jewell took over.the way the defence makes the same mistakes over and over again is frightening.what do they do on the training pitch?
it looks like another season of concentrating on staying up rather than looking up.5 games including 2 against lower league opposition and weve scored 6 goals! not good enough.i give up i really do

OH DEAR this bunch of players just dont care you can tel by just watching them i play football and if we get thrashed one week i cannot wait to get back out there next week and prove myself and others that we can win and we do our best and actually try but these players dont care they get paid if there shi* or not1
I think we need to get rid of jewell get in a young hungry manager someone that will get up and stand on the touchline shouting and motivating the players eg di canio! so get in this young ungry manager get rid of the players that arent up to it and start fro scratch get some good hungry and some expireinced players in have a bit of diference in the squad height personalitys etc we really need to start from a clean slate and do this properly and evans has to be prepared to spend around 10mil

runaround added 22:48 - Aug 28

What an absolute joke! Really feel sorry for the fans who attended. Sometimes you lose football games but when the players have no desire, fight and just give up it really winds me up, and by sounds of radio commentary the team just weren't up for it.
That is very worrying and that must change starting Saturday.
If Jewell is unable to instill the belief and fight into the players then we will slide further down and the end result will have to be another change of manager which will mean starting from scratch yet again.
Just shows how things can change so quickly, major improvement in player attitude and effort required NOW

What a sorry bunch of players we have wearing the shirt of this once proud club. I’m still shaking my head in disbelief at what I have just witnessed.
Town started brightly and moved the ball about well and looked to be playing comfortably within themselves. The Town midfield looked tidy and compact, we scored what was Luongo’s first ever goal and then started to sit back which turned out to be a fatel mistake. Cadamarteri was having more influence on the game as Town defenders struggled to cope with his strength and trickery and looked vulnerable almost every time Carlisle broke forward, it was the home side who were in the ascendency as the half time whistle went.
The second half followed pretty much the same pattern as the later stages of the first, with Carlisle looking dangerous when going forward while their defender cope easily with our increasing hopeful punts up field, with the exception being one fine move with Luongo and Martin combining well to almost put Chopra in around the hour mark, Their equaliser came right at the end and to be fair it had been coming for a while and was no more than they deserved for their efforts.
Extra time followed a similar pattern with Town’s attacks looking more and more disjointed and desperate, with Scotland and Chopra feeding on scraps as there appeared to be no coherent plan to get the ball to them in kind of dangerous position.
Their winner came after a howler by Creswell, he had been caught out a couple of times in the match getting the wrong side of his man, but had managed to get away with it, but this mistake was punished and Carlisle scored their winner.
We were very, very poor today and it looks like it will be a long hard season for us on this showing, so disjointed and lacking any inventiveness, at time we looked like 11 strangers on the field, we needed men to stand up and be counted today sadly too many of them went missing. In Scotland and Chopra we have two very good finishers but they will struggle to score if we cannot give them the service. Jewell need to address the problems all around the park (many of them long standing problems it must be said) or face the prospect of being on the dole.

What's worse is that some people keep burying their heads in the sand (ala when things were going nowhere with Keane)..daft comments like we'll beat Huddersfield - Huddersfield are well organised at the back and have a capable goalscorer..c'mon,open your eyes people.

buryblue77 added 23:48 - Aug 28

@Lightningboy, whilst I don't think it's all doom and gloom yet I hope we beat Huddersfield but I'm not confident.
Trouble is there are some who moan all the time, some of us who are not happy when things like this happen and some with their head in the sand who would accept being in The Conference and say that we don't have a given right to be in The Football League.

I've sat and read this website for a long time and, especially since the voting came around, people who have been non believers of the current regime, have been slated.

'Believe'.... 'you're not a supporter'.... 'have faith'.... REALLY?

Ridiculous, look on tmwmtt.com, look at the investment ITFC have made over the years, the players we have bought. This whole idea that we are being invested in, that we have a leadership team who have a plan is a myth. Were becoming just another lower league club and most Town supporters seem to think actually questioning our shambolic leadership means were not blue..

I'm suffolk and proud and I'm frankly disgusted. Even with the piss poor investment we have these days we should be able to string a team together.

Set deep into the beautiful wilds of the very north of England, Town came up the M6 to Carlisle with a chance to redeem themselves following the woeful trip to the seaside over the weekend. With only one change to the lineup Hyam dropping right out of the squad and Carson taking a berth on the left flank, it was hard to tell what actual shape Town were playing with.

The midfield ended up another bank in front of the back four and only Martin’s oscillations between midfield and attack, a trequartista, false nine or by the end a false hope, left us dabbling with 442 or 4411. I’ll leave it to the tactical types to decipher and decode.

Again we passed the ball, a lot. Clearly a new direction (not forward all that much) from the coaching staff is to get Town playing it out of the back. It’s quite nice to watch. The game much like Blackpool was marred with much moving of the ball, but not of legs. Football played with the pointing of fingers as Town’s new young side were again shuffling like bored teenagers.

An early spell of pressure on a beautiful and expansive pitch suited Town as man for man we looked much better than our workman like lower league opposition. No disrespect to Carlisle, but former wonderkid Cadamateri aside, they really didn’t know what to make of a tentative Town even when we kept gifting them possession and free run at goal.

An early injury to Carlos saw the eager Ainsley bound up and down the right flank – looking for his man, his position and heading every ball possible like a champ he proved why he hasn’t been seen since maybe Posh. Luckily he’s everything but when it comes to football.

Town broke the lead eventually after some protracted and tepid rather than intrepid football. We upped a gear and some neat passing found loanee Luongo near the edge of the box. A low curling effort dispatched with aplomb. It was rather lovely and eased nerves in the stand. Alas not on the pitch.

Within in spitting distance of Hadrian’s most famous erection Ipswich still failed to get up at ‘em. JET won a few and missed a few flick ons. Carson seemed not to believe he could beat his man and opted to step back inside or wait for the nippy Cresswell to overlap. All of this meant Chopra was once again getting very little in the way of meaningful service despite the frequent territorial advantage. As Martin revived his petulance of Saturday; tumbling like dice, wagging fingers at officials and moaning a lot, he really failed to put a soft looking defence to the test enough.

Town had three clear cut chances as the half drew to a close to really tie up the tie and they failed to do so. Carson was found in acres of space with just the keeper to beat he dithered long enough to blast it at the stopper’s legs. Chopra was then set free by one of Drury’s many sweeping passes and bearing down on goal forced a smart turn around the post, when maybe he could have done more. He later had a lovely curling effort drift just wide, which looked destined to be a beautiful goal.

Alas the half time whistle came and seemingly words of encouragement and a sense of belief desperately needed did not. As the half wore on Town wore out many of the impressive away following’s patience. Carlisle replaced the little man Cadamateri with a very big man. It was clear that the famous wall nearby might be the best vantage to keep track of all the mortars coming our way.

Town meanwhile plodded along. Jewell and his team supposedly held a post mortem after the horror show at Blackpool. The team tonight looked to be even more lumbering, lacking in intelligence and nowhere near as threatening as the monsterous side they presumably mustered from such an inquisition tonight.

As the half drew on Chopra failed to control the ball in the box and openings flashed and disappeared like mirages. The introduction of Scotland and Stevenson saw us lose JET and Carson. The much barracked Arsenal trained wideman again saw much of the ball but found little way to use it. His corners were like mugger’s fingers reaching deep into Carlisle’s back pocket and receiving a swift punch away as no one attacked the ball in a white shirt.

Carlisle however rarely had to resort to hoofing the ball, simply playing it forward sufficed. Half chances became, possession which became pressure. As the last twenty minutes of the game came, and Town’s likelihood of a second goal didn’t, our side receded like a vicar’s gums.

A smart ball in from the right hand side was met by the crotch of a stumbling midfielder. Had a footballer been there instead we’d have seen parity. Town ignored the less than subtle hint. And so it took the 90th minute or so for us to finally revert to the stuff of nightmares and concede a soft goal.

Smith had looked reasonable and while again Chambers seemed to offer little guidance our back four had muddled through. Even Ainsley earned a corner or two bombing to the byline and finding defenders legs to rebound the ball off for corners at least twice. However there was to be further problems for all concerned as the game went to extra time.

With all subs used by both sides as you might expect nothing changed, at least not from town. The hosts grew in confidence as they knew they could hurt us and as was fitting their lead and winner came from our own frailties.

Smith calmly played the loose ball out to Cresswell to play down the flank easily. Without his eye on the ball or his heart in the game he bafflingly turned inward towards goal and was gleefully dispossessed. Loach beaten gratefully, you could be forgiven for assuming the scouse prodigy had his head turned this weekend.

Really it’s hard to think of clear cut Town chances. Despite being so close to the border we didn’t see Scotland until an hour or so into the match and was really him that kept Town in it at all. Busy, muscular and unrelenting he drove Town forward in a match where his colleagues just wanted to step aside.

A last ditch scramble of long hopeful balls into the Carlisle box at the end was really emblematic of how poor Town could be, and have been this weekend. A young side yes, but not a youth side or even a second string. Both games have seen the best side possible fielded and each time the side fielded bested all too easily. The few players who half turned towards the exiting travelling fans and languidly clapped, arms above head, summed up a display as bad and gutless as any under the current manager.

Scorelines and defeats are one thing, but the manner and context tell us so much more. Whether Prem class starlets of league 1 muscle, with all the coping mechanism of your average drama teacher Town look in deep trouble regardless of opposition right now.

If Jewell has any designs on remaining manager, he needs to go back to the drawing board, assuming we can trust him to even find it now. He and this side, needs faith, money and time in abundance – sadly it looks like they may have run out of all three even sooner than we thought.

Sorry it's not a match report.
Mullet another good report, a bit less of the comical cross references would be better IMHO :)
I really feel sorry for all you guys n girls trekking up and down England to away games since Jewell took charge.
With a fair wind and a bit of luck, any more performances like the last two will finally get rid of this incompetent Scouser reportedly called a manager?
20 months down the road and lets be honest no further forwards, more likely backwards and the same old spiel regarding transfers, it's no wonder the majority of fans have had enough.

what a shambles, it shows exactly how far we have fallen away over past 3/ 4 years .And it looks unlikely to get any better under Paul Jewell.After two awful seasons even the down hearted were probably looking foward to new season [because thats what we do ] but we hope things will have changed for better. Sadly it looks like its just a carbon copy of whats gone before.One week ''we need to sort out defence '' next week we ''need to sort out attack '' next week ''we need to sort the lot out ''.PJ keeps saying we need two or three new players ! we could have eleven new players i dont think it will change anything with PJ .It dosnt make it any easier for supporters when we have to listen to him mumbling in after match interviews.He dosnt come across as a motivator.We need a manager with fire in his belly, someone who can get through to players,someone who can change things if they need changing, not just mumble about what we havnt got .Early optimism has vanished this is going to be another dire, dour season .

Those on this board who keep on pushing Carson and Ainsley should have seen how bad and slow they realy were last night.

Also Edwards was a big miss once he had gone off injured, if Chopra thinks he is going to get 20plus goals this season. Look at the 2 sitters he missed last night.
