Is there not anyone that thinks that may just be an iota of truth in what PL is saying? |  |

Sorry but no. Have an arrow of disappointment.
I’m 22 years old. Supported the club since I was 3. Every single year of my ipswich supporting life, we’ve been in the championship until two years ago when we were relegated to league 1. Two years now we’ve been in this league and are still scrapping for 0-0 draws and failing to get promoted. Last year we blew a 7 point lead at the top in October to fail to even make the playoffs. We’ve been eliminated at the first opportunity 3 times in the last 16 years of the FA Cup. We’ve failed to beat our rivals in 11 years. Our most successful season in the past ten years ended with defeat to our rivals. We generally have sold our best players in the last decade without replacing them. The coaching staff and management since Magilton have generally shown the fans little respect and some players have shown they don’t care for the badge - Chopra being one of many that openly took the piss out of the shirt the rest of us would do anything for. The owner has shown he doesn’t care for the club like we do and the mentality to settle for the cheap option for a short-term fix is one that is taken with little planning ahead for the long-term good of the club. There’s a combination of distrust, confusion, lack of communication and a major lack of care across huge sections of the club. And yet.. through all of this, we still sold out 90% of the away ends we visited last season. We still sold 14,000 season tickets in league 1 last season. We still turned up in numbers up and down the country and did our best to inspire what is probably the worst Ipswich team in the last 60 years. After the clubs lowest finish in 60 years the season before that. The club has given us incredibly few moments of genuine belief and hope that we’d achieve something in the last decade and hundreds of moments of desperate, dull, painful failure.
So no.. there is absolutely no truth in what Lambert is saying. For him to dare to blame us for the situation that the club is in right now is nothing short of a disgrace. The fans are the only good thing about the football club. The only thing. [Post edited 2 Dec 2020 6:22]

Very well said indeed. The first game I took my 6-year-old son to was the Play-Off Final 2000. From the year after that it's been a depressing series of declines, the vast majority under Evans, who is a hopeless owner. Lambert himself is perhaps deliberately missing the point regarding the criticism - the negativity is towards him, not the kids. It's the way he sets up the team. This feels like the Mick situation all over again - trying to set the players against the fans' criticism of the manager, desperate to retain the dressing room at all costs. Both Mick Mills & Marcus Stewart have pointed out that under Lambert we've failed consistently and this is the third season of it; and that the team now seems scared of attacking the final third of the pitch. That's a pretty dreadful situation. | | | |

One key difference between Mick's ending and this is that the players were behind him still, even if many of the fans had turned. There's little to suggest that the players are behind Lambert. He now has literally nothing in his favour here and it's madness that he's not been sacked yet. |  |
