This place doesn’t half make me laugh… 09:00 - Aug 15 with 6615 viewsKieran_Knows

… like, I get it, the takeover, Ashton coming in, a massive turn around in players … it’s all shiny and new, and for some people, they’ll never have a word said against it. But for those that share their ‘concerns’, we’re seen as massive ‘COOK OUTERS’.

It was only a few weeks ago me and a few others were saying how poor it was going in to pre-season with only 2 new signings (Evans and Burns at the time). Now don’t get me wrong, Ashton has had a massive job on his hands with regards to player recruitment, but here we are, 2 league games in to the season, still playing like a bunch of strangers and a back 4 that couldn’t look anymore disjointed if it tried. Funny though, because we was told ‘BuT tHe TRanSFeR WInDoW DOesN’t ClOsE tILl tHE ENd OF auGUSt’.

That’s all well, but carry on as we are, and come the end of August we’ll be off the pace and still technically need a pre season for the new signings to get up to speed.

All being said, I think the side picks itself now;
Hladky
KVY Edmundson Burgess Coulson
Harper Evans
Edwards Fraser Chaplin
Pigott

We really need to get all them fit, get them on the training ground working together as a unit and hopefully start picking up wins and points ASAP.

I know this’ll get loads of downvotes, but meh, just some Sunday morning thoughts. We’re not Cook outers, we just have concerns.

I think his overall record with us is more relevant than what he's done elsewhere, as seen with other managers.

Despite that, its what he's achieved elsewhere that gives me hope we can improve this season.


That doesn’t make much sense.

We know that last season he had no impact. Was that the players or him? Jury’s out but based on the previous 2.5 years I wouldn’t like to make the case that it was him.

Now we’ve had just several games with a completely different team to get another perspective. Again, not a case I’d like to make either way given the scant evidence.

As you say, he’s done very well elsewhere. So let’s just wait until we have something concrete to go on rather than our emotions.

Oh don't get me wrong, I've disagreed with Joe on a few occasions, but we both respect each others opinions.

Chris clearly has a personal vendetta against him, and I just put it down to jealously.


Agreed, it shouldn’t be personal if that’s the case.

Of course, that goes for whoever’s attacking but also those who get way too defensive and attached to the sanctity of their own opinions.

Don't know about that, my opinions are generally woeful, and it doesn't take much for people to show me the error of my ways.

Again, stop claiming my opinions are based on my emotions. Its based on fact. Results under him even just this season arent good enough.

If there was a personal vendetta i'd have said who said it. It came up on my news feed as I Follow a fellow town fan who responded to the tweet itself. I purposely refrained from naming the person who said it on here, so your theory has no legs im afraid.

Not if the season is two league games, no.

I don’t get your point when nobody is saying the results are “good enough”. But what do you want to happen now? What should Cook or the club be doing differently?

What are your concerns exactly?

It's August. We have a new team. Fack, a new squad. Jeeez. It's too early to judge anything, either way.

The speed of communication these days doesn't speed up reality. It just makes a lot of people look ridiculous, and possibly makes them ill.

As you say, this place....

Ipswich fans last season: there is a losing mentality at this club, we accept mediocrity and need a clear out to get winners 8n.

Ipswich fans after 2 defeats and a draw: what a promising start, we're playing great football.

Well said Dyllers.

That point is made especially worthwhile in the fact that if we win Tuesday and Saturday, we’d be near the top of the league and the panicking will be ignored. It’s time for patience rather than panic at a couple of disappointing results.

I mentioned yesterday - but reality is if we have lost as many games as we've won in 8 weeks time then last season will be seen as an issue.......if we are second in the league then it won't be.

No one really gave a toss that Lambert saw us put up a woeful fight against relegation when we had 27 points after 11 games on October 2019......but by the time January 2020 rolled round and we had slid out of the top 6 then it became part of the overall case against the awarding of the 5 year deal.

The squad we have now is overpowered for this level, in Cook's image, just need to pick up some wins using that quality whilst things are continuing to click to ensure atmosphere around the club remains positive until then

Cook has 8 more games for me,

Not good enough and still hearing the same old bull sh1t excuses.

He’s been given everything he needs and needs to step up straight away

Some posters are going to look a little silly, IMO, after we get a few wins under our belts. Which I have no doubt at all will happen very soon.
