McKenna is fuming ! No more Mr Nice guy 15:54 - Mar 15 with 10006 viewsstiff_talking

We can calm down on this website today as our leader has clearly had enough and he will address it all in the changing room. It’s between the players and him now. As fans we need to support the fallout. But 3-0 at HT and not making tackles is a bridge too far for him.

His reputation is in tatters compared to the start of the summer.

No wonder he's pissed off.

No decent club will touch him in the summer which means he will be here next season!

Too stuck in his ways and has no plan B.

Only has himself to blame. He's sent them out there.

We've seen the trouble davis playing at this level has on us. We continue

We've seen since Chelsea delap has not been anywhere close to it. That continues.

We've seen you need more than flair in the side. We're playing with 3 flairy forwards

We've seen Greaves isn't close to what he appeared to look when he first came in. He still continues.


Be mad. Sure. But you've sent them out there.


Why do you play short drilled balls just inside the NF half when they are most dangerous intercepting those balls and countering. Keep the ball as deep into their half as you can. Hit the channels. Turn them to their own goal. Don't play into their hands.. that's on KM.

So be fuming. But that is his selection.

Yep that defending was woeful. He looked very angry. Both the first and third were dreadful. Delap header back into his own six yard box. Wolfie missed a simple header in midfield and then we just let them turn and run though us.

I'd be fuming too if I had the best clubs in the country courting me in the summer and then have the club relegated by the middle of March having spent £150m on dross (bar delap).

I know that was then, but it could be again..

I would say objectively his stock has gone down from being one of the hottest properties in European football last summer.

He's arguably still plenty good enough to manage us. We've no divine right to be any more than mid table championship.

Any club that was interested in him at the start of the season would still be interested now if they had a vacancy.

Reaction by some of our ‘support’ is throughly embarrassing.

Not sure about that. United need a root and branch destruction and rebuild, McKenna has no credentials to do that. That penny seems to have dropped with their ownership.

Chelsea have sort of sorted themselves out. I don't think they'd want him.

I think he might go to Spurs.

Any Ipswich fan asking him to go needs to sober up and apologise!

Perhaps. I think he would get found out tactically. He is too one dimensional tactically and often doesn't make changes to compliment the ebb and flow of the game.

Again, he's still far better than we'll likely have again.

Only nail that Frimmers hasn't hit upon is the bogglingly-bad substitutions all season.

What a load of tosh people spout.
McKenna can only use the players he has at his disposal and he currently has a bunch of championship level players with a couple of lower rate prem players. This season they’ve played well above their station but they’re always going to struggle against established prem teams. Look at any of our players and you would struggle to fit any into any prem side with the exception of Soton & Leics.

Its how you use them then.

Playing top 4 football with a championship quality squad isn't gonna work.

You’re thinking of Russell Martin and Southampton, mate.

McKenna has consistently tweaked and tinkered throughout the season, changing shape or players roles or in some cases entire ethos- we’re not the team who play one way and that’s it.

Sad reality is that we’re just not at the level yet, yet being the key term- we’ve arrived well ahead of schedule and mostly we’ve competed, just shown our lack of premier league experience and nous. Ipswich Town and Kieran McKenna will be back bigger and stronger.
It’s been disappointing, but let’s not sh*t the bed.

The continued tinkering and four or five changes each week hasn’t helped either.

He's tweaked roles but in the main it's 4-2-3-1 with like for like substitutions every week.

In terms of ethos and setup, Arsenal away was a bit of a change and it worked well. That's about it.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

I agree, but what we’re discussing right now is the claim McKenna’s just done the same thing all season long- it’s demonstrably untrue.

Just not true, sorry. I’ll leave you to it though, as I said earlier.
