How have we managed to get worse since Cook has joined? 19:11 - Apr 13 with 2966 viewshomer_123

I hope our new owners have very deep pockets.

Each week means it's closer to end of season, which means 99% of this squad won't be here, they aren't playing for anything

I get the counter to that is put yourselves in the shop window, but these guys have agents, people don't sign you based on youtube videos.

Really the impression that this squad of players don't like how Paul Cook operates, even struggling to do double training

Easy life under Lambert maybe!

Many of these players won't be here next season but will want them!!

The whole mentality sucks dog dick.

Finger firmly pointed at Evans for giving Hurst the control he'd given McCarthy, and then letting Lambert be sh1t.

There's piss all fight.

Abject stuff.

I like Cook but tbh I'm so disillusioned with our club I wouldn't care too much if he leaves as well. Feel bad thinking that cos he can't shoulder blame here, but the whole mentality and setup is so tinpot and uncompetitive I just don't care.

Cook came in at an awkward time, with town having fluked 3 unimpressive wins just before he started. He naturally wanted to play his chosen system, which confused things more & now he's chopping & changing systems like Lambert. This season is pretty much now written off - we won't come back from 2-0 with 10 men. We'll need 15 points or 5 wins from the last 6 to have a chance of the play offs & given that we've managed a point a game under Cook, that's not going to happen. Please dump all the loan players and start planning for next season now. don't pick any players who won't be here next season.

Feel the same tbh.

Too many years of being ground down with disappointment and substandard sh*te from the top down to really give much of a fk any more.

I'd been saying for weeks this season was over, but still carried on watching with that hope I was wrong. But tonight is the night I say goodbye 2021 season and start looking forward to a new Era come July.

I don't get this. If most of them aren't going to be here, surely they're playing for their futures, trying to flash a smile at potential suitors to get a better club/contract. Agents can't do much if they're showing themselves to have a poor attitude and regularly being rubbish.

When he joined we had a very decent chance of promotion. Scrapped 3 wins.

We've actually gone backwards under him.

Lambert was brought in to stave off relegation. He got nothing out of the squad and made no attempt at keeping us up.

Cook had the opportunity for the play offs but like Lambert simply has not delivered.

Its concerning.

And people seem happy to write off this season...we may not have a better chance for promotion next year. Gotta take the chances in front of you.

You need to look at our form beyond three narrow wins that we scraped before he arrived. We'd been abject for months. We've only stayed in touch because the league is poor. Lambert came in and had a transfer window, after which we were arguably worse. Cook hasn't been able to do anything really with the squad yet.

I think you're being daft here. Players released by Ipswich go to smaller clubs on worse wages. Often they don't find league clubs at all.

You are right. This league is poor so all the more reason to be disappointed we haven't even made a fist of getting in the play offs.

Fringe players released by ipswich go to smaller clubs, we have a host of players currently playing regular football each week about to the leave the club,

Quite a lot of which is attributable to Lambert. This is his squad.

You think Cook was brought in on the basis of writing off this season?

No.

His first task would have been play offs. He'd have known the squad and I am sure he would have suggested he could get more from them and plays achievable. In fact...top 2 was possible when he joined.

We've actually got worse under him.

It's not good enough regardless of it being Lamberts squad.

Top 2? Come off it. I doubt he realised the players weren't even fit enough to manage a double session when he agreed to take on the job. The players look miles off it and have done for ages. I expected better but given the state of the squad physically and mentally and him having no real chance to do anything about that I'm not going to jump on the Cook out bandwagon just yet.

Where he could have made a bit of a difference is with substitutions, not just tonight but through numerous games. Tonight he destroyed the one bit of real momentum by making three substitutions, one of which was Edwards who was beginning to come good at long last. Chopping and changing way too much, looks like he really doesn't know what to do. I so hope I'm wrong, but so far all I can see that Cook has brought to Town is fine words and an amusing personality.
