Influential subs?
Half time motivational team-talk?
Change of shape or formation to have a positive influence during a game?
I really hope it's just down to personnel but then it begs the question if it was worth getting rid of Lambert. I'm sure it will be because Lambert is one of the worst managers i've ever seen manage us - it's just concerning that i've seen no real difference from one of our worst ever to what should be one of our better appointments, if posts on here are anything to go by.
Still, plenty of time for him and time to get his own players in at the end of the season could see a big change. |  | | |  |

You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Half this lot aren't good enough and the manager is having to work with what he has been left. It really is as simple as that. Come August I'll wager we have a new look side and will be playing far better attacking football. We're are all going to have to be patient until it's Cook's team and Cook's way. |  | | |

Should have got Cook in before the transfer window rather than letting Lambert go loan crazy.
I did hope for a new manager bounce though. You just have to look at Burton to see the positive impact Jimmy has had. |  | | |

that was very similar to several of Lambert's early games. Plenty of good stuff but not for 90 minutes, not enough goal thread and giving bad goals away at crucial times.
Cook was never going to be a panacea either but it's going to take an awful lot to turn this mess around. |  |

I think there’s some truth in what you say.
Lambert had do go for many, many reasons, and Cook is an improvement in terms of honesty, personality etc. etc.
However, he’s yet to have any real effect on our play and mentality on the pitch, and we need someone who can change that quickly. A Mick McCarthy or Joe Royle figure.
I don’t want to drift into next season like we did after Lambert’s relegation season. We need to demand more. [Post edited 20 Mar 2021 15:18]

It's a fair point to make that the second half performances in Cook's handful of games in charge have invariably been worse than the first halves. Today was a classic.
There was good endeavour from the start today, but we sagged after conceding when in control of the game. Portsmouth got on the front foot early in the 2nd half & there was next to no Town response to going behind. Still a real losing mentality amongst this group of players & that's not going to change soon. |  |

All my posts on Lambert were objective, I never had any love for him and openly said he out stayed his welcome by a year. You’ve either got me confused with someone else or you’re trying to deflect.
I did however say a month or so before his appointment that Cook is the man for us and I stand by that. If you can’t see any improvement already then I refer to my original statement. | |

True, although that would also go for Accrington and Doncaster as well. Hull was probably the exception where we did okay well all match.
I thought we were struggling in the minutes leading up to the second goal today, couldn't get hold of the ball and really needed to change something at that point. | |

We seem to have a massive issue once we've conceded a goal and just seem to loose the plot, we need to be mentally stronger on the pitch! | | | |

where exactly are we going to get a new look side from ? we dont have a transfer budget big enough for wholesale changes in the side, and cant compete wage wise for quality players.
he's got to make a silk purse out of a sows ear, this is the team & squad he has got, thats his job now. to make this work, not play fantasy football transfers | | | |

He has to start building for next season. If we get promoted, bonus, but in the long-term, these players have shown that they're not the future of this club. He's trying to get the most out of a good - though bloated - squad who collectively haven't got the mental strength to get us out of this division. | |

Cook has a good record of getting teams promoted from the lower leagues & he will have done that without huge transfer or wage budgets. Town will still have one of the highest wage bills in this division next season & I will be disappointed if Cook doesn't get us up by 2023. The fact so many players are out of contract in the summer is a great opportunity for him to bring in the right players for his system (& cut the bloated 40-man squad). | |

Wait and see. We WILL have a new look side next season that's for certain. | | | |

Cook didn’t have a fair opportunity. The sacking of PL was far to late. Cook can’t bring in new players. Inherited a terrible squad of players. | | | |

You haven't got a clue about football. You just slate every manager as soon as they arrive because you know 90% of Ipswich managers fail. And it's simply to look good (in your own mind) on here. I've yet to see you "objectively analyse football."
Thankfully most if us can see through it. |  |

Same against Plymouth. But the opposition will change things to get back into it and that’s where we don’t seem to have an answer, on or off the pitch. | |

And that is where the player problem comes into it,
Pepe wouldn't be able to turn this lot into winners, no chance | |

I don't think Pompey changed things particularly. They got a boost from an equaliser that was against the run of play, albeit a very good corner, and we can never sustain our good play (certainly not for 90 minutes). That's the long and short of it. | |
