Is the most ineffective defensive midfielder I have watched (that includes the last two seasons) and no wonder Ipswich have looked brittle at the back for years, with this man in front of captain calamity any team who run at us or fight for rebounds will usually score, dread to mention move into space or play one twos. You can sack as many managers as you like BUT until the ‘dead wood’ is cleared out and Ipswich really do start afresh, then with the likes of Skuse Chambers Dozzell Kenlock and sh,t loans we are in serious trouble! |  |

Skuse and his lack of mobility is one of the main reasons we concede a lot of goals from that area two yards outside of the area. He is slow to the loose ball and other teams nip in and often then score. The truth is, at any other club Skuse would have been released 5 years ago and not continually selected based on the perceived value of his "experience" in football. |  | | |

We don't concede a lot of goals, we've had 2 bad games this season where we conceded 5 at Lincoln and 4 at Peterborough - take those 2 out and we've conceded 27 in 34.
Also, it seems to be forgotten that Skuse and Kenlock were 2 players that were regulars in our good start where we were defensively excellent and not played as much since then. |  |

It's not about 'rating' him, I've never personally been his biggest fan and can see thy he gets criticism - but you don't play 500 games in the second tier under a number of different managers if you are hopeless.
But every game we struggle, him and Chambers are seen as the problem when that is far from the case - he is currently a player who is in and out of the side as it is. |
Ok, so you don’t particularly rate him either, and understand why he gets criticised...but because he’s played 500 times in tier 2 under various managers you’re ok.
Form your own opinion of the player, Joe. |  | | |

Skuse and Chambers are seen as Mick’s men, people aren’t able to separate them at all as though they are one and the same.
Knudsen was too, think Sears is excused because he is seen as a player who was ‘ruined’ by Mick by being played out wide |
I don't rate Skuse at all. Never have, never will. But MM has absolutely zero bearing on my thoughts towards him.
Doesn't mean I'm thick at all, just that we obviously see something different when viewing Skuse. |  |

There is forming own opinions and then just lacking total common sense - just because he isn't my type of player doesn't mean I can't appreciate that he clealry has been a decent player and is far from the route of our issues.
Players don't hang around in the football league, let alone the 2nd tier for no reason | |

Here he is, knew you wouldn't be able to resist.
Can't believe you're still using the word 'numbskull'. Kinda ironic, don't you think? | | | |

These daily threads on Chambers and Skuse are getting tiresome. |  |

... actually good.
As was Edwards, Bishop, Wolfenden and at times Judge.
What we lacked, unlike an excellent Coventry side (both technical personal player attributes and technical team system/shape/movement - see their goal as an exemplar) was a system and fluidity to make the use of our player having a good game.
Plus Garbutt and Nolan had absolute stinkers! [Post edited 9 Mar 2020 15:25]

Garbutt has been off the boil for a while. Even his set pieces aren't up to much anymore. I can see why Oxford fans didn't rate him as a full back, I think he's looked way better the higher up the pitch we've played him. | |

Garbutt has not played well since just before he got injured.
As you say his set pieces are poor, there was some excuse at Blackpool in the gale but generally he has been either under hitting or over hitting them lately. |  | | |
