I think you are being harsh on Morecambe, I thought they were a lot better than many teams I have seen at Portman road in the past two seasons, they managed the game and the referee pretty well and made it incredibly scrappy after we equalised which broke up our momentum and rhythm. If they play like they did on Saturday and last night they won't be relegated.
Individual mistakes are costing us, Saturday it was defensively, last night it was offensively. Partnerships are being developed all over the pitch - it takes time
Cook needs a few wins, I just hope we as fans can get fully behind him, and trust his record of getting teams promoted. |
They also beat Blackburn away last night.
Its very disrespectful to just think we should roll them over because some people see them as minnow.
They are the same level as, but i think some posters still believe we have a given right to beat team just because we have traditionally been the bigger club. That's not how football works.
Otherwise you'd still call Brentford a minnow when we play them...when clearly they're not and would be ridiculous |  |

Yeah, I heard things like - we are Ipswich Town and we should be beating x and y.
Unfortunately football doesn't work on reputation or past glories, we are a mid table league one team who has been in decline and shamefully run for years, its not going to change overnight no matter how many signings you make or how much money you spend doesn't translate into automatic success on the pitch.
Not saying I find it acceptable, or I'm happy clapping but that's the reality we find ourselves in.
Get fully behind Cook, see where we are at Christmas rather than demanding results overnight because we are a 'bigger team' than most teams in the division |  | | |

There has to be a winning mentality at the club, and we have to go into games with that attitude.
We should be beating these teams, if we want to go up then we have to. |  |

I don't disagree, but you cannot install that winning mentality overnight, it comes with a settled side, partnerships developing on the pitch and everyone knowing their jobs and what is expected of them.
I don't think it done is any favours being at home on Saturday, we looked a little nervy early doors - understandably with a new, young team | | | |

What I dont get is the attacking stats we have shown so far is with a side not yet at even 10% peak.
Why people are worried after 1 league game draw and going on about winning mentalities. These players brought to the club have certain characteristics. That's been made key by Ashton. Will they be at home worried. No. |  |

Fingers crossed we get a win on Saturday, could really do with not going a few without a win and all the future pressure that entails | |

Agreed, we need a win, and a performance with no individual mistakes which costs goals, will settle everyone down and let the pressure off. Think we might get a bit more space to operate on on Saturday which will benefit Chaplin, Fraser etc.
However it comes, deflected og, screamer in the 93rd minute, offside goal, off the ref, couldn't care less. | | | |

What is the fuss with him though ? I have never been convinced with him. He has never really managed at a higher level than league 1. OK, one promotion with Wigan, then he did a runner as soon as it got a bit sticky, which he has done more than once. Yes he has had promotions out of league 2, but thats not a cause for excitement. Sligo is just that, Sudbury Town are probably bigger ! All this fuss and he has hardly gone up the league ladder, ld have expected him to have managed in the Championship regularly, but no, one season. He isnt exactly a youngster now,but he is still stuck in the bottom 2 leagues. If he was as great as some on here seem to believe a club higher up would have given him a chance by now dont you think ? Is it down to him only being a one trick pony ? He seems to only have one formation, doesnt seem to be able to change things up. I find that strange. A good coach can change formations. Cook is just adament that we play this system and thats it.? He has a lot to do to convince me. |

I don't think the only option is 4 wins out of 20 odd games, or Mourinho. | | | |

I didn't see a lack of winning mentality in the Morecambe and Newport games...... |  |

What's with minnows too?
One is a fellow league 1 side. On merit in the same league as is. We dont know where they will end up in may to call them Minnows. |
Their wage bill will be a fraction of ours, like a lot of clubs in this division. We are very much Goliath to their David. |  | | |

This clubs doesn’t believe in ‘false starts’ or ‘winning mentality’
2003/04 season - started the campaign without a win in 6 games, finished in the play-offs
2004/05 season - started the season with 1 win from the first three games, finished in the play-offs
2014/15 season - started the season with 1 win from 5 games, finished in the play-offs
Flip that over
2017/18 season - started with 4 straight wins, top of the league. Finished 12th
2019/20 season - started with 8 wins from 11 games, finished 10th
2020/21 season - started with 5 wins from 6 games, finished 9th
There is no winning mentality. This club has shown it can win games and still have a negative mindset, or lose games and keep fighting till the end. 46 game season. |  |

But there should be no pressure from any proper supporter if we lose or draw on Saturday.
It is 2 games into a new season with a brand new team with players still arriving.
Half a season is the time to judge how things are going.
You should know better as these players may not be your mates, but they are someone’s.
Give them all a break including Cook | | | |

Of course there will be pressure with every game we don't win in this division, and that's how it should be and probably how the owners see it too. They have high expectations and rightfully so. | | | |

That club doesn't exist any more - we are a new club at nearly every level and part of that is needing a winning mentality.
Fans being happy to accept mediocrity needs to end, we need to be better as are the only part of the malaise that has been over this club for years that is still in place. | |

Did you really expect this 'new club' to steamroller the league in it's first season? | |

No, but I expect us to be in the top 3 or 4 by the end of the season with 80+ points on the board | |

Drawing with Morecambe in the first game shouldn't dent those expectations. | |

Much as I'm fairly relaxed about Town right now, we really do need to learn not to judge people by their words but by whether or not they deliver. |

So, reading the thread, everything seems to think we’ve had two disappointing results yet there’s no need to panic ... but somehow still arguing about it? | |

There's literally a thread saying that the start of the season so far is the most exciting in 50 years. I think that's pretty accepting of mediocrity, assuming you agree that League 1 is mediocre for Ipswich Town. | | | |
