Fans have been very patient with Cook (if that's the patience being referred to) and he will get at least another month to turn things round.
I love it when board members ask for patience. Quite often ends up being the kiss of death for a manager. |

The booing increased in volume at the final whistle Saturday, from the boos after the M K Dons draw, which is disappointing given the delicate stage of the project we’re in.
But more importantly neither display I thought warranted booing. Both performances had individual error, and collective confidence melt downs to gift the ascendency. But they also had some promising attacking sections. Just not good enough overall. Boo perhaps if we hadn’t seen any positive passages of play.
Don’t think Cook should be given any free pass, thought he was far too outspoken in scalding the players last season… but perhaps they really were not good enough to get a tune out of them. I still hope he’ll get a tune out of Wolfenden and Dobra… he clearly rates Ndaba and I think Clements.
He’s got to get a win and soon. But it’s a tough league to get out of, no matter how amazing the squad looks on paper. Let’s hope we’re all praising Cook come Christmas.
Booing the team won’t get us anywhere at present. |
You're reading this wrong. This was Technical Booing from fans who wanted to se us win more. |  |

well obviously if we keep losing they will have a word in his ear! Some seem desperate to make out the owners are looking at any opportunity to bid rid as he 'isn't their man' despite the fact they have stated on many occasions that he is. |
Has anybody said that? The reality is that they have an ambition and a plan for the club. Key to it is an effective manager. If over the next month there is no sign of this group of players improving and winning games, Cook will be in trouble and rightly so. We really can’t afford to do a Mr Macawber and hope something turns up.
Hopefully, Cook knows what he’s doing, given his track record, and we will start climbing this rubbish heap league.
As for Ashton, he really impresses me. He is clear in what he says and what he wants. I cannot imagine that anyone working for him is left in any doubt about what’s required of them, which is good. Ashton has to date delivered what he said he would. You can’t say fairer than that. |  | | |

I see you’re associating booing with just a lack of patience. That’s fairly generous. I’ve come to the conclusion that those doing it lack the ability to form words and it’s just a cry for help (to mummy). You’ve got to be 2 sandwiches short of a packed lunch to boo less than a month into a new project. The sort of people that’ll never be happy in life. |  |

I wouldn't mind betting it's the same idiots who booed the players for taking the knee. |  |

Cue the odd guy that posts negatively, who apparently isn't a budgie, to come and complain about the fact he's not wearing a tie. |
The management team is a team too. We have Mike O'Leary for the 'tie' roll, and Ashton can smart casual it up. Yin and yang. Defensive midfield anchor and mercurial no. 10. Or something. |  | | |

You’ve been patient!? Regularly you’ve been moaning and now you’re giving him a month? That’s the opposite of patience, Timmy. |
I've criticised what has been an awful performance since Cook came in. Have I called for him to be sacked? Have I shouted abuse from the stands? No.
I've given my opinion on a forum. That has absolutely nothing to do with patience, i've observed what i've seen, I have a coaching background, i've been disappointed with what i've seen.
As for the month timeline - if we don't win a game in the next month we're essentially waving goodbye to automatic promotion and that would be unforgiveable with this squad so with the caveat of not knowing how the games play out, I would generally say we need to look for a competent manager who can turn things around and ensure at least a play off position. |  | | |

'I'm more Bluefish than Bluefish' is not an ambition in life, lad. |
I think that's a little harsh; I don't do the troll style threads or anything. I just give my opinion on Cook so far which i'm entitled to do so. I explained my position in the post above and i'm really not sure what's so extreme about it.
I understand some on here like the new manager to be seen as a messiah and nothing else until 12 months too late but surely for the third one running we can all start to be a bit more objective in our views? | | | |

Patience
Haven't given out expensive contracts
That'll upset a few. |
I'd imagine that there are some very attractive performance bonuses in place for wins,promotion etc. I certainly don't begrudge rewarding success when/if we go up. |  | | |

When we went 2 up in last game thought things were finally clicking into place but we blew it.
Slight concerns about next three games but we need to start winning before Morsy gets his first League start. |  |

I just wonder who the fans were booing at.
I've never booed Ipswich players and my gut feel is that the boos at both MK and Wimbledon games weren't meant for the players, but for Cook.
The players gave commitment in both games. Yes, stupid individual mistakes cost us goals in both those games, but the players didn't do it on purpose and from what I've seen the players themselves are giving the passion.
I'm frustrated with Cook and the jury is out, but he has to be given more time. My worry is I'm somewhat concerned at some of his team selections and actually mystified at some of his substitutions, both personnel and timing, when also considering the away games we've played this season.
So personally I feel the boos have been directed at Cook, not the players. | | | |

We just need to be able to defend high balls into the box.
And get Morsy on the pitch.
We need to win before Morsy is available. If we don't, it's a seriously damaging start and we are probably unlikely to make up for it to challenge for automatic promotion, surely. We an argue if this should be a two year project to get out of L1 or if we should do it this season, whatever that means anyway. Failure to be promoted this season will be a failure whichever way you spin it.
Having said that, can't fault the owners or Ashton. The only doubt is the coaching and it's all on Cook now. No reason to think he won't be a roaring success though, and we won't be able to judge it until late October anyway, as anyone sensible has said.
If we keep giving naff goals away into November then meh, the coaching or application must be sh1te. But I don't believe this will happen.
For the sake of clarity, I have not been booing, and frankly booing is fooking ridiculous at any time let alone currently. Unless it's at the ref or a pantomime oppo villain. |  |

Or it could be people who remember the summer of Keane and the summer of Hurst and see the same thing playing out again. We’ve been promised jam tomorrow for so many years and it never arrives. On paper, it should be different this time around, but as at 2009 and 2018, August has clicked round to September and Town are still winless. We’ve seen crappy penalty kicks, spurned open goals and stoppage time equalisers given away. The allergy to winning football matches seems stuck in place. People are sick of it, because they’ve seen it before and they see it happening again. |  | | |

A win against Bolton) and perhaps followed by one in the cup and then against Lincoln.. the club vibe and prospects are TRANSFORMED
No booing at 90mins
Confidence in Cook from across the board increases
Player confidence in ability and partnerships grows
Players who are on the fringes wanting to be part of it, rather than sniping
Optimism increases, opposition feels less confident
Get to Sheff Weds game with no win, and no Morsy to go against their midfield, and we are battling more than just the opposition. | |

It's a simple game really - win and problems go away.
It's hard to talk about a long term project in this division and with this squad - there simply isn't one as it is promotion now at any cost.
The rebuilding, and patience is required when we are in the Chamnpionship | |

"What's wrong with being confident about our transfer dealings?"
Absolutely nothing, but that's step 1.
Step 2 is, as you should know since you said you're also a qualified coach, a length of time coaching them, selecting best starting 11 + subs + formation that they're well drilled in, and turning them into a well oiled machine with all parts working in synchrony.
Step 3 is our well oiled machine competing against other machines (well oiled or not) & dealing with their attempts to wreck our plans in the heat of battle!
I.e. reality , which *will inevitably* (unless we're lucky) take time (particularly since we clearly need to increase fitness in players currently tiring after 60 mins) - as opposed to theory based on who we've signed. |  |

Nothing. You asked what was extreme about your position. I think second place not being good enough - you actually said you'd be disappointed with second if I remember correctly - is an extreme position.
I think most on here would be happy if we went up in second. | |
