But again, everyone is on the bandwagon; Keane's mistake this, I can't believe he did that etc. Now I for one am happy with a point, we're three games unbeaten, and are at home to Derby on Saturday.

Why am I so positive? well look at the facts, yes 14 games and no wins, but we have drawn eight and lost six. Now look at the other teams close to us, lost loads more, except they've won one or two. Where am I going with this? Well, say we beat Derby on Saturday and follow that up with another win, that's two, the same as Plymouth, out of the drop zone and about 18th I believe we could be. A third win after that and that's mid-table.

So, why so glum everyone? Yes, wins are great but don't forget draws are important too. Our backline are stronger, the midfield are starting to create opportunities and I truly feel Keane will stick with Stead and Walters up front to start banging them in.

If you have workmates, wives, girlfriends etc who laugh at where we are, keep saying this to them We may be bottom of the league, but no one can beat us!

This is the important thing, the win will come, but not every team can become invincible!

FormerlyCGS added 17:32 - Oct 26 Coppel available. Im sure with the money ME has he and Clegg could maybe sway Curbs! Darren Ferguson - Im sure woudl leave at the promise of money to spend! O'leary - champion league semi finals with Leeds Tony Mowbray may be coming available soon, if not maybe Mark Venus? Irvine from Preston Any of the above I would rather have than Keane!

marchy added 17:47 - Oct 26 I'm finding it increasingly hilarious that the blind faith brigade on here continue to insist we were complete crap all last season, and that we're playing well enough this season to be out of trouble in a couple of wins' time. Maybe if nobody else played any games. Wake up. Teams playing well don't languish at the bottom, and a team playing crap all season wouldn't have finished 9th. And let's not forget, Keane got two more wins out of last season's inherited squad than the zero he's got out of the one he's built himself. If he's building a squad for promotion, I think we can all agree that the current one isn't it - yet those of us who don't see the substantial and expensive steps backward Keane's taken us logically translating into an improvement on last season any time soon are just being negative?! I don't want to see Keane go yet - there's no point any change being made before January. But please people, get your heads out of the clouds and admit that he's, at best, made a complete dog's arse of it so far.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 18:10 - Oct 26 StavangerBlue on page 1 is right! We could draw 46 matches and even that would not guarantee safety. We are in a relegation battle, and we have to win some matches by improving our football, not running about even faster: all teams generally put in maximum effort at this level, and you can't win by effort alone; there has to be some guile too. At the moment, we are not good enough, as I'm sure RK would be the first to admit. SB, I would like to see us get a BETTER passing game together (remember George Burley?), but I don't deny we also need to shoot more effectively. Saturday would be a good time to start with a win, and despite my rather negative comments, I have every confidence we'll do it. COYB

pickles110564 added 19:04 - Oct 26 Fact, it was not the fans that got Superdim sacked. ME wanted more publicity for his company and by god he has got it. There is not a day that goes by without his company logo being splashed through the press. When we win our 1st game this season it will make headlines. Maybe this is just a stunt being played by ME, we will never know. ME will decide what happens with Ipswich Town as he owns it. Now for the more important, Headline news, Ipswich beat Derby to more off the bottom of the table. IN KEANO WE TRUST COYB

patrickswell added 19:06 - Oct 26 "Every team in this league on their day can beat any other" Except when it's our day, we chuck it away by conceding a late goal. I agree that we have built up a little momentum by not being beaten as often as we are, but we really have to get that win under our belts within the next 2 games or: a) The rest of the division will have built up a huge cushion over us. b) Keane's position will be pretty much unteneable. One other positive from Saturday's result: If we played as badly as people say and still managed a point, then that's the first time we've got away with playing badly and taking something from the game.

Lightningboy added 19:29 - Oct 26 I'd like us to get back to being called "Ipswich Town" rather than "Roy Keane's Ipswich".

pickles110564 added 19:49 - Oct 26 It does not matter how many of you non-supporting idiots want Keano sacked because ME would not waste his time reading whingers posts on a forum. If you actually went and watched a game you would see that the footings have been dug and the concrete has just started to be poured. You would not then be slagging Keano off and would join the other 20,000 fans getting behind him and the team. In Keano we trust. COYB

Lightningboy added 20:57 - Oct 26 He's certainly digging his footings very deep..almost into league 1 actually.

ChambersM added 22:31 - Oct 26 Why so glum? Because beating Derby on saturday and following that up with a win, and then getting another win after that is much easier said than done atm, especially with Ipsich as we all know! We havn't won in 14, so why would we suddenly win 3 in a row?! Wake up and smell reality! KEANE OUT!

DrJeckyll added 10:22 - Oct 27 This time is sorting the men from the boys :-) fortunately ME doesn,t sack people without giving them a fair go. Many wanted Magilton out but he gave him until the end of the season, so unless keane does something that makes his position untenable i assume he will be here until at least the end of the season. I am one of us with 'blind' faith but i dont keep expecting us to win our next 1,2 or 3 games, but based on the evidence i have seen with my own eyes i do expect us to escape the relegation zone, Watford were totally outplayed by us last week and 3 days later they thumped Sheff Wed 4-1. We are looking tighter at the back and we have a good midfield and the only thing wrong with our strikers is tension. I may be wrong but because the knockers cant/wont see the positive signs i just see them as those that run away just before the battle starts. My comments about our troops were designed to shame you lot into showing a bit of backbone (CGS), but obviosly you have no shame. Also it seems that wot some on here care about is not ITFC but about winning arguments or showing us all how clever you are. We are in a bad situation and as i have said before negative comments on here seem to transfer to negative support at the ground and if u dont think that is having a negative effect on the team and therefore the results then u know very little about people. Fancy playing cards for money? :-)
