.....and a few others said, basically, Lambert has no tactics and is relying on simply having better players and we have no real formation or strategy, and we will get found out sooner or later, and loads of you shouted at them? |  |

Lambert's ongoing tinkering is utterly bizarre which I am sure many people have mentioned. He created a 10 roles yesterday which would seem ideally suited for Judge and played a winger there who has only played once in the last 6 or so games. Sooner he reverts to a simpler system and gets Downes back in, who to be fair is a very big miss and pretty much our best MFer, the better. |
Just need to stop you there Chickers. Have you watched us this season?
Playing Rowe in that role was a mistake though for sure. Not sure how Rowe is getting in the starting eleven tbh, but I guess it's this rotation policy and keeping the squad happy. Which has bitten us firmly in the bum.
Certainly last night was tactically pants. |  |

But Rowe played a lot there for Lincoln. He just wasn't the obvious choice for last night. |  |

Lets all get on the happy clap bus and pretend we done great last night and the players really deserve a good old round of applause.
P*ss Off, we were f*cking awful against Rotherham at home in League 1. I think fans are fairly entitled to be a little grumpy instead of little cheerleaders. |
Calm down you pillock.
We lost to a team who finished above us last season. We weren’t going to go through this season without having a sticky spell. Plenty of us have our doubts about Lambert, the tactics and some of our players but we don’t feel the need to make ourselves look a bellend on the internet when expressing them.
Show some balance, there are toddlers with more control over their emotions than you have. |  |

Winning keeps the squad happy.
People know where they stand if PL picks a consistent XI.
Players then know they have to play their way in if / when they get their chance.
Professional sportsmen should not expect to have a place in the first XI based on wages or reputation. |  |

The idea of a free hit last season was to use it to have the systems ready. Oddly we tried damage limitation last season instead even after our fate was confirmed. If he couldn't see from the Sheffield United game alone that Jackson and Judge could never work then you had to wonder |  |

It’s just the general principle of people looking for us to fail that is annoying.
The ground was full of it last night, I don’t know whether it is just a Suffolk thing or what, but Ipswich fans just seem to take some sort of perverse pleasure from misery. |
Yes, a fair few people seem very happy to be "right" (are they though, really? We are still top of the damn league if we don't lose a game in hand and while there are some clear issues it has still been a fine start) ahead of anything else. It's so odd. |  |

Youre only happy when your p1ssed off! |
I'm happy when we're winning. I'm p*ssed off when we're loosing, I'm even worse when we are performing p*ss poor.
I like winning games of football, and that can paper over any cracks, and I have no issue with that because I love winning. But don't expect me to be happy about losing games of football, epsecially in the manner we are.
Maybe we just different mentalities, maybe you just have a weaker mentaility, a losers mentality, but that's ok. Everyone is different. | |

We're going to lose games, it's no drama, they've just been poor defeats.
We have Southend Saturday, perfect side to put it right against. I can pretty much guarantee we're going to coming flying out of the traps and no player on that pitch is going to want anything less than a win - they'll all be chomping at the but, especially Norwood. Question is, what will that side be and will the system be right? | |

I don't particularly want to have a go at any manager. And I don't think Paul Lambert is tactically the worst.
He has brought a great deal of positivityto our club.
But I do question now what we are doing in terms of team set up.
Usually I can spot our formation but last night I was stymied for ages- by which time Rotherham were one up
The "joke" doing the stands with use was that we were a square Christmas tree with a lump called Holy as the bucket. What was it? 4222? That's what it seemed like.
No width, no cover for either full back, Terrified of the two giants and swamped by a team with energy, impact, aggression and physique. We looked tiny, inept and lost.
And that I suggest is down to the manager. He sets the team up. He chooses the players.
He's got it wrong now several times and in the last two we came unstuck! |  |

Losing 2 games (with 3 key players missing) out of 13 including an 11 game unbeaten run, 8 wins and being second in the league is a weird way of saying "I told you so". Even a broken clock gets the time right twice a day though if that's worth celebrating? [Post edited 24 Oct 2019 13:08]

OTOH, Judge has not been very effective wherever he's been played so far, Nolan would have been better than Rowe in that position but was probably considered stronger defensively than other options for the deeper role (e.g. Dozzell) and Lambert was probably concerned that putting men out wide would leave us overrun in midfield.
We need Bishop or Nydam fit to cover for Downes when he's missing. That allows us to arrange the other pieces so much better. |
Question - is Bishop physically strong enough, even when fit, to cover the role like Downes does? |  |

442 diamond. My favourite with our personal other than 532 with Skuse being the 3rd CB.
The diamond didn't work though. Too many changes in my view. Garbutt and KVY looked a little lost with no-one in front of them and ran into blind alleys a lot. The midfield looked imbalanced and Rowe was isolated.
The less said about Chambers and Wilson the better. Proper sh*t show all in despite a bright first 5 mins. PL clearly had them up for it but they looked like they struggled in that system and Rotherham made sure those in doubt were made to pay with such a high work rate. | |

He is over-complicating things. There are 8 or 9 players who should be nailed on and 1 or 2 spots up for grabs but week in week out he changes 6, 7 players.
The 8 or 9 being;
Holy
KVY
Garbs
Chambers
Wilson
Skuse
Downes
Action Jackson
Norwood |
Wolfenden? Or considered too young? A Wolfenden/Wilson/Chambers partial rotation seems fair |  |

I think he is - when fit. Downes, IMO, is better, but Bishop can cover for him. |  |

Holy and Skuse have started every League game, Jackson didn't only once, Chambers and Downes on two occasions, Norwood three. That's half the outfield team. Woolfenden started nine, Wilson eight, Garbutt and Kenlock seven. KVY has missed one League game since he came into the team. Judge had a solid run of five out of six League matches.
Many of those missed games were due to injury or suspension (or, in Kenlock's case, being replaced long term), not simply rotation. | |
