When we put performances like that last season…. 18:47 - Oct 2 with 3865 views | itfcjoe | ….we were told it was the players and it wouldn’t happen when we get new ones in. When we put in performances earlier in the season like that we were told it wouldn’t again when Samy Morsy was in the side…. …and yet we still put in nothing performances when out battled and out thought. Somethings not right here, and it hasn’t been for a long time |  |

When we put performances like that last season…. on 19:52 - Oct 2 with 836 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | I criticised many posters on this forum, including yourselves for the criticism Cook got for last seasons results, as I believed that he should be judged on this season. As he himself said. 2 wins, 10 points from 10. Fairly poor performances. I’m seriously concerned |  |

So we had a bunch of poor performances/results at the beginning of the season mainly due to various pieces of the jigsaw missing (mainly a lack of Carroll/Morsy in my opinion as the Harper - Evans duo clearly doesn’t work). This was followed by three improved performances (especially in an organisational sense) and results which signified real improvement. How is the lack of coaching experience becoming more obvious game by game in this scenario? Seems like an over reaction to one defeat in my opinion. |  | |  |

I think most people are looking at our performances in the round. We've not been good enough this season, far from it, and were awful today. Three better performances, two of which weren't exactly convincing, doesn't change that. Perhaps the poster you were responding to could have worded it better but the general gist is right. |  |

I agree that we have not been good enough this season in the round too. However, there is significance in the fact that some of our more organised and resolute performances have been some of the most recent. Does this not show that some of the work done on the training ground is paying off? Of course, even the best teams can’t always translate that week in, week out and perhaps today shows that. It just seems that some on here always go on about Roberts, Craney and Jeffers lacking ‘experience’ and yet there isn’t a great deal of evidence to support it. |  | |  |

There's a fair bit of evidence that they lack experience, whether that is causing problems or not requires some speculation. Performances like today's naturally make people question whether something is amiss, we shouldn't be playing that poorly with the players available to us. |  |

When we put performances like that last season…. on 19:26 - Oct 2 by Mach_foreignBlue | If you say :'of course not' then stop excusing those perennial failures from last season who didn't turn up for Hurst, Lambert and Cook. Those so called professional players didn't put any fight in order to save us from the relegation nor did they show the drive to get the club back to the Champ. Of course Cook doesn't seem to do a right job but the players have their responsibilites too. |
At some point Mach, you're going to have to let Mick, Chambers and Skuse GO. |  |

When we put performances like that last season…. on 01:02 - Oct 3 with 529 views | BondiBlue | You're talking about the culture. It struck me that the two players name-checked by cook in his post-match yesterday (bonne and donacien) clearly really want to be here. Bonne because he's a fan and JD because this will probably be the highest he plays. Is the problem that we're signing players who think they're too good for league one? Last season's squad also had a bit of that about them (flynn downes most obvious example). Ironically this summer just gone was arguably the time to do what hurst did with recruitment, buy players for who ipswich is a step up, not a stepping stone. |  |

Totally agree. So where was the leadership on the pitch? Talk is cheap and all sh!te about being able to beat anyone, the premier league is our aim, etc is all Bollix Do your talking on the pitch and soon! |  |
