How much pressure are PC, and the players under today? 09:02 - Apr 10 with 2263 viewsPinewoodblue

MK Dons are on decent run of form too.

I really want PC to be up for the challenge, but haven’t a clue what sort of team he will put out.

I feel for PC,

He's being asked to go to war without any guns.

I hope he is focused and makes whatever changes to the starting eleven he was contemplating prior to the takeover happening.

There's always pressure in professional sport. There seems to have been no reaction at all from the players to the change of manager, which is disappointing. I'm not saying they aren't trying, but having so many players not sure if they will be at PR next season can't be helping at this stage of the season.

He does need to start getting some results, and an uplift in performance.

I don't think that's too much to ask, although I think we all agree the players aren't likely to mount a promotion challenge.

Good professional players shouldn't let that effect them.

If they have any professionalism they should either be playing for a new contract with us or elsewhere. It's their own career and earnings that they are damaging.

it's just so frustrating the players really seem to have this attacking block

In theory it's not the worse start

Only 8 goals conceded in his 8 games
2 cleansheets
Unbeaten at home
only 3 losses

but only 6 goals scored.... and that is the biggest issue by a clear clear mile

Honestly, if our players are 'feeling the pressure' then we don't have any winners in this squad at all.

There's no pressure on them, the fans gave up on promotion weeks ago, the new owners and chairman said Championship in 1-2 years, if we can do it this year, great, but not expected.

The only pressure being applied to the players is to do their jobs well, which they aren't, and frankly thats the exact same pressure that every single one of us has in our own jobs.

I just wish they would get on with it and stop looking so fking sullen about life every single game. Has anyone noticed that there are no smiles on the faces of our players when we play?

Someone was told that all the staff had a spring in their step once the takeover was done, maybe that will be the same for the players? If it is today/Tuesday then we can probably guess at what the underlying cause was.

However, a new dawn starts today. And I can't wait for next season.

"not the worse start"?
9 points from 8 games - form which would put Town in 19th place if continued over the season. Yes, we could have lost every game, but Town have been worse since Cook arrived.
3 dismal performances against the division's 3 worst teams in the last 3 games, so no sign of improvement.
The only thing to do is slip under the blanket & wait for the big clear out in the summer.

I know you can overthink things and see things that aren't there

but, when you watch the matchday videos on ifollow, even the players walking into the ground is slow, boring with eyes drooping, even when we won, walking back into the dressing room, you barely see a smile

My point was, despite the lack of attacking ability of the team it still could have been a lot worse!.

We all know it needs a clearout, but until then we just have to hope the players wake up one matchday morning in the mood to play football, otherwise everygame will just follow the same pattern.

on the form front, it puts us 16th over those 8 games

now, that rather random 3 wins inbetween makes it look worse as before that we were 15th in the form table over the 8 games before those 3 games.

Also, between are early season form until oct to the date Lambert got sacked... we are 16th in the form table over those 4 months!

Basically, had it not been for that opening 2 months, we would have been in a relegation fight since October

Yes, any uncertainty is over and the players will know that if they want to be part of what promises to be a bright future they have 8 games to convince PC they deserve to be kept on.

I'm hoping we will see that determination today.

We'll see eh.

I think it's becoming clear that the attitude and ability of the players is a bigger problem than the manager.

It is a bit like some reckon that MM's 4 wins out of 4 at the start of what became his last season here don't count and the first 45 games of the playoff season don't count.

But If I can't go over a season, you can't cherry pick 3 random wins out of nowhere to base the apparent quality the manager took over, it works both ways
If you break down those wins, which of those was a commanding victory? accrington was bloody shocking.

So yes, i'd rather base it on a season, not just 3 random wins in the middle of a pathetic season.

And the reason I don't feel PC can take any of the blame is he came in and played the same formation as before, he's tried different players, he's tried different formations recently, and it's still the same sht. And for the handful of people who say PC Should take blame, not 1 has been able to say what he should have differently.

Ok so if you're so despereate to ignore the actual form of the side following it's early season form

.. Where's Nolan - injured, he scored goals in that early season form - No midfielder has gone close since.
Hawkins- only back last week, he scored and created goals in that early season form
Edwards - scored 5 in that early season form, has he looked anything close to the same player? no and alot fatter to.

Bennetts, was also involved in all of our wins just prior to PC coming in, he's been in and out with injuries - typical ipswich.

Norwood - only available for 3 of PC's games so far.. was involved in those recent wins prior to PC coming in.

So PC hasn't even had what PL had when he won the majority of his games. Yet you're trying to compare, you can't.

the facts are, since Nolan, edwards, hawkins all got injured, the club has been averaging around 16th in the form table, and continue to be 16th in the form table - that is fact.

So once again, what SHOULD PC be doing?

The players dont care. This has been demonstrated all season after defeats laughing and joking with the opposition as they come off the field. They go through the motions and dont push themselves. Could not see and Ipswich player coming off the pitch inconsolable in tears like the Fulham guy last night. It means nothing to them. Sears said he is to good for league 1 how many goals..... They all think they are better than they are and not prepared to fight and work to do anything about it. Every other team wants it more than us. I'm sure the players are unfit hence ghe injuries and the slow football we play. Thank goodness big changes are on the way and we can have a team to be proud of again
