From the EADT.
This is what Cook inherited and now has this lot knowing they won’t even be here next year. This is over the season, most of which was when they were presumably trying ...
Ipswich Town’s tally of 41 goals is better than only Bristol Rovers (40) and Northampton (38). Those sides are bottom and 21st respectively.
The Blues average less than a goal a game
They have now played more than nine hours of football without a goal
Ipswich have failed to score in 16 of their 42 League One games to date. Again, Northampton and Bristol Rovers are the only clubs with worse records in this metric
Town have managed to score more than one goal in only 13 of their matches
Town have scored three or more goals in a game just once this season, at Blackpool in September when they managed four. They have by far the worst record in the league in this regard
Their goal difference is currently —3. No club in the top half of any of the EFL divisions has a worse goal difference.
Town’s top scorer, James Norwood, is 56th in the League One scoring charts with six goals to his name. No other club’s leading scoring has fewer goals.
19 of the 24 League One clubs have at least two players who have scored more than Norwood. Gillingham, Lincoln and Rochdale have four players on more than Norwood’s six goals.
Town’s other central strikers, Kayden Jackson, Oli Hawkins, Troy Parrott, Freddie Sears and Aaron Drinan, have scored just one league goal each in a combined 4,671 minutes of action. Many of those appearances are from the bench, but combine for nearly 52 full games of football.
Four of Ipswich’s goals have been ‘own goals’. No team has benefited from more of them this season than Ipswich.
That puts ‘own goal’ joint third in the Ipswich scoring charts, alongside Jon Nolan and Alan Judge and behind Gwion Edwards (5) and James Norwood (6).
Town have only scored 27 league goals from open play this season.
Not one of those has been chalked up as being a ‘counter-attack’ goal.
Ipswich have scored 10 goals from set-pieces this season, with only five teams managing fewer
Town are the only team in League One not to have been awarded a penalty this season. Lincoln have had 10.
Gwion Edwards is 50th in the League One assist charts, with four. No team’s leading assister has fewer to his name than Edwards. 14 teams have multiple players above Edwards on the list. The next Ipswich name on this list are Alan Judge, Norwood, Luke Chambers, Stephen Ward and Teddy Bishop, who all have two.
Ipswich Town average 9.8 shots per game. That’s the fewest in the entire league.
The Blues average 3.2 shots on target per game. Only Wigan and Northampton average fewer.
Town’s 16.1 ‘unsuccessful touches’ per game is the highest in the league
Ipswich have worn their silver away kit five times and have scored two goals (Norwood at Hull and Chambers at Gillingham).
Town have yet to score since the American-backed takeover of the club was completed.
Ipswich have conceded three or more goals in games six times this season, with three of those occasions coming against teams in the bottom six (Swindon, Northampton, Wimbledon)
The Blues are as close to the relegation zone as they are to the automatic promotion places. The gap to both is 18 points.
In the 35 games since Town’s first loss of the season, away at Doncaster on October 20, ended a superb start, the Blues sit 16th in the League One form table
The form table since Paul Cook took charge of the Blues has Town 20th in League One
Only two players (Dion Charles of Accrington and Tyler Smith of Swindon) are caught offside more often per game than James Norwood
Only Hull are caught offside more often than Ipswich as a team
Only five players commit more fouls per game than Andre Dozzell
Town’s combined disciplinary record is fifth-worst in the division, with 72 yellow cards and six reds. Charlton and Accrington have been shown more red cards than Town
Ipswich have used 34 players in League One this season, fewer than only Swindon, Wigan and Burton Albion.
Depressing isn’t the word. |  | | |  |

Okay.
I've been thinking....
Charlie Wyke
Two absolutely bang average seasons in League One, then scores 28 goals.
Clarke-Harris
Decent enough, but never set league alight until he went to Peterborough
Of course there are lots of examples of players doing very little in a team and with a few changes in personnel around them, becoming more than anyone anticipated.
What i'm trying to say is that even a few players with decent quality added to a distinctly average squad can make a huge difference to what one or two players are capable of. |  | | |

We do/did. That we've failed so spectacularly with such a kind run of fixtures makes our failure all the worse. |
And that failure is still on Lambert for me. It's his team and his coaching. |  |

Yes but people want to ignore what happened before the Hull game and go purely on what happened after that. |  |

I think Cook deserves to be scrutinised for our regression since he took over as manager as it’s been worse that even the most pessimistic person would have imagined. At the same time he deserves the summer to revamp the club and see what he can do with a fresh start.
As has been said by others, however, what he has lost is any kind of honeymoon period and there will be an edge if we start sluggishly after what is expected to be a summer of change. |
Let's wait for the new season then. Why are some so desperate to get the knives out already? | |

Its laughable that you can apparently scrutinise a person but in the same breath give him the summer..
Sorry but that makes no sense.
You're either giving him time like some of us and just seeing through this season. Or you arent. | |

This squad is essentially Lamberts. We know how crap that mini era was. The squad constantly failing to deliver, and constantly falling away as the season progressed. This season is no different. Only perhaps it is , in that since the take over was announced and the plans to totally rebuild, this group of players have thrown the towel in, totally.
Next season will for the first time, see a different culture at this club. A culture that is more professional, has clear goals, and pathways to achieve those goals. Players will be brought in with the goal, of promotion clearly in focus. None of the current seniors are fit for that purpose.
As Paul Cook has stated , “ he can’t trust these players and they don’t have it in them”....this is another reason for the total capitulation by them over the last few games. |
How many of these players did Lambert actually sign though? |  |

There's only a few players he didn't either sign or give a new contract too. |  |

Or accepting that Cook has failed to have the impact we expected him to and he is actually worse than Lambert in terms of results, which is a concern (he HIMSELF said not reaching the play offs would be a failure on his part) but sacking him would be a ridiculous move at this stage. | |
