| More positives than negatives yesterday. 08:19 - Aug 31 with 1430 views | bsw72 |
There’s a lot of posters who seem to take almost delight in focussing on the negatives currently, which I find says more about their state of mind than anything else.
I actually think there was a lot of positives to take from yesterday.
- We didn’t lose, like we would have done 6 months ago.
- Looked dangerous from set pieces, scoring one and hitting the post.
- Strength of bench makes us competitive for 90+ minutes
- Cajuste and Matusiwa seemed to click and work well
- Young and MacAteer made the right look more solid, MacAteer is a stronger player than I realised.
- Players looking for the ball again, passing was quicker than first 3 games, still room to improve but getting better.
- Creating chances, a lot of possession in the final 3rd, increasing attempts on target.
- Barring some awful refereeing, we most likely would have been 2-1 up after 55 mins rather than 2-1 down after 70.
I think the big challenge is going to be the fact that teams are not willing to play football against us, but break up play and spoil the flow. We need to learn how to unlock teams quicker and play a little smarter. I think Nunez and Egeli are going to be key additions. |  | | |  |

Very good appraisal, that's how I saw it too.
If we hadn't given away that stupid penalty right at the restart we could have been away. Gave derby the chance to sit deep and defend again and we're struggling to unlock teams at the moment.
Matusiwa and Clarke were bright points I thought.
Not all doom and gloom |  | | |

Not to dissimilar to my post yesterday:
Green shoots and all that by homer_123 30 Aug 18:04That spell, in particular after we scored, was very much how we know we can play. Bit of urgency, patterns, runs, mixing up playing through the lines and going a tad more direct.
I lament O'Shea's header hitting the post, what might have been.
In short, we were punished for two mistakes, Premier League'esq and normally in the Champ you can 'get away with one'. We do need to tighten up at the back and improve our decision making and cut out some of those errors.
The other positive today, for all our lack of confidence, there is no lack of effort, I didn't think we deserved to loose today, the lads battling to the end, coupled with that spell in the first half, we are not far away (though I appreciate it might not feel it at times).
It's two points dropped but it's not a loss, in the scheme of things, we take it, learn and move on.
I thought Cajuste, as we knew, was class today, some lovely work and, boy, does he glide over the grass and by his man (or two). Thought Matsy did well and can see these two working well together. I do like Chappers in that CAM role, he plays it so well and just seems more likely to create something and link up play for me. Hirsty is simply trying too hard, though how the ref didn't give that Pen, I have no idea.
Work in progress for sure.

Cajuste and Matusiwa have played 40 plus matches together, so I expected them to click.
Should be a good pairing for us. |  |

We can't moan about teams coming and being defensive against us.
When their budget is tiny compared to ours, they don't have to go toe to toe with us.
I hate the dark arts too, but remember when Chappers used to feign injury on 25 mins to break the game up? [Post edited 31 Aug 8:37]

Mine was an observation not a moan. Referees do need to be stronger when dealing with it though, I have to admit despite the referee’s fairly dismal performance he did actually add the wasted time on. | | | |

One of the most common comments on here last season was how we need to be more "streetwise" and "better at the dark arts". Maybe there are some more acceptable dark arts that I'm not aware of, who knows. | | | |

Actually I was more thinking Southampton at home just over 6 months ago who pretty much played how Derby did.
I do understand that some nuances about how we are playing and the ability to think more objectively about where we are is more difficult for some than others though. | | | |

I actually liked your post, but trying to compare that we’d have lost last year compared to a draw with Derby this, for me, has put a downer on the post.

We created much more yesterday, and in spells played football like we know we're trying to, but it's a real problem if you concede from almost every shot the other team has, seemingly on a regular basis.
There were definite green shoots yesterday, but also sone familiar causes for concern. |  |

Not at all, I appreciate the response and certainly don’t take it personally, it is only an internet forum after all.
Just to be clear though, we would have lost 6 months ago, we didn’t today. It’s a positive.
I wasn’t comparing opposition quality, that’s something you added, creating a personal “downer”, which is very ironic considering how I opened the original post. | | | |

Yrs, they were some positives from yesterday. Had Derby actually played football and not deployed the dark arts to the level they did, we would have run out healthy winners in my view.
But, this view especially on this forum, that if you voice an opinion that highlights the things that are not right ( and there's a few for a long while now), that you are labelled " a moaner", " negative", or " anti- Ipswich" in some way.
We ALL have opinions and a view of the situation. No opinion is especially right or wrong. Its an opinion, but what there is on this forum is an intolerance of others views.
Here are just a few opinions from Town fans who have posted their views on other SM outlets. Whilst acknowledging the glider of positives , you cannot ignore the other side of the argument. To do so is sticking your head in the sand. Anyway here they are .....
Up front, where to start, Philogene creates nothing, never beats his man on the outside, Clarke not much better, cuts in and runs across the penalty box time after time and there is no end product, it may look OK to some but it's so ineffective. McAteer didn't really do anything to suggest to me he is anywhere near an Omari Hutchinson either, offered little by way of positive input.
Chaplin seems lost and his days are sadly looking numbered and Hirst for me is just hopeless, never gonna be the answer to lead the attack, no goal threat in any game we've played, yes was unlucky with the penalty but that's one positive thing in Four games, misses sitters every week and that's why he's never scored goals, Akpom and Azon were both on the pitch a few minutes and both had an effort at goal, they need to be starting.
I think we just have to see a greatly changed team in Two weeks time, Egeli, Nunez and Akpom/Azon have to start, we need to see what Furlong brings to the party too, no doubt we'll have the same misery guts on the touchline but with each passing game we don't win his exit must surely be edging closer. Danny Rohl still unemployed?

The most obvious problem to me is that the formation is limiting the strengths of individuals. For example, playing Philogene as an out-and-out left winger leaves no space for Davis to get down the line. He (Davis) is at best An Average defender; his strength is his goal assists which can’t happen if he can’t get forward. Likewise Hurst, who is never a prolific scorer, his strength is running the channels and bringing in the midfielders to score. But he can’t go wide left because the space is occupied; and if he did there’s only one advanced midfielder playing centrally.
Having read the previous post, and being aware of the problems KMK had in his previous role, I wonder if he’s the sort of man who can take Average players and make them better, but somehow makes better players less effective. Just a thought.
That’s only two of our problems; the inability to pass is another. I called in at the Greyhound after the match and heard someone say what I’d said during the match - that we were actually bored during the game as it was so poor.
This is my first post on here in ages. I tend not to bother any more for two reasons. I got a little frustrated by those who kept saying last season that we needed to play 5 at the back, or 4 in midfield, or 2 up front. We were struggling all over the pitch; strengthening one area would only further weaken another.
Second, I’ve always viewed this forum as a bit like a pub where you’d go to meet up and chat about football. There are one or two individuals here who, if they walked into a pub, I’d probably leave because I find them obnoxious. I’m sure the fault is with me (I’ve been told that on here before) so that’s why I have pretty much left the forum. |  |

Charnwood
I know I’m normally quite defensive about McKenna but I think he fcuked up big time today by not taking Hirst off after 45 mins. It was obvious to me that Hirst could have stayed out there all weekend and still wouldn’t have scored, meanwhile we had options on the bench who could have improved our chances of building on our first half lead.
We found out far to late that Akpom and Azon can be on the pitch at the same time which would have significantly increased our chances of putting the game to bed. We need to find out quickly what some of our other new signings can do too.
Far too early to panic as we now have an incredible squad of individual players assembled who should be good enough to get us out of this league. We just need them together as a team and that’s the first challenge.
Today was another bad day all round against an opposition that weren’t really interested in playing football and a referee who was worse than incompetent and cost us 3 points without O’Shea’s assist.
It can only get better from here. | |

Further posts ( haven't been able to copy and past im one go fir sone reason)
It's only August and Sunderland have already won more home games in the Premier League than us for the whole season last year.
It's only August and Leeds have already had more home clean sheets in the Premier League than us for the whole season last year.
2025 and still no home win
2025 and still no clean sheet.
Heavily backed. Number of excuses. How long is he going to live off two promotions?
Same formation every single week. I do repeat it so often.
We fail to create chances.
Loads of factors against him. He somehow still remains Messiah for some.
As for the game it's nice to see Matusiwa progressing and Cajuste having a decent game too.
Hirst and Philogene by far the biggest disappointments. 20M for the latter. Villa must be still laughing at it.
Very, very poor start to the season. How are we bookies' favourities when we are unable to create chances?

Spot on Mach, how much longer are the minions going to follow this goon like the Rats behind the Pied Piper, he hasn't got a clue, you can have all the quality individuals you like but if you cant mould them into a team you have nothing.
We have the players to get promotion, of that there is no doubt, what we don't have is the manager good enough to get it done. Only a bloody idiot plays the same sodding formation for over a year when it clearly doesn't work.
Again yesterday we are struggling to create anything of note and yet as Charnwood says we don't change anything until around the usual time, it's damn laughable really. At HT we needed a proper striker on the pitch, either Akpom or Azon, just try something ffs, it was also clear Philogene and Clarke were getting nowhere in causing Derby many problems, Chaplin too had done little.
Yes the Ref was crap, yes it was a stonewall penalty and yes we were the only side looking to play football but let's not paper over the cracks here, we are playing rubbish football week after week, pretty much for 13 Months now. Ashton has done his job, the owners have done their job, im sure the players given the chance to do so will do their job, where we have a real ongoing issue is the Manager and his band of inept back room staff, they seem hell bent on same old same old every week.
We have a Two week break now before we gift Sheffield United their first points of the season, what will we learn in that time ? What will we change ? What hope will we get to believe improvement is on the way ?
It may only be September 1st tomorrow but we are already 9 points behind the leaders and I can only see that growing, its not good enough simple as that. I am really excited with our signings and squad, we have tge ammunition to be successful.
As for the game yesterday we looked much better in CM for sure, Matusiwa had his best game and for me Cajuste was the best player on the pitch by a distance, but again he can't do ninety minutes, surely with a Two week break coming up he could have saw it through?
Once more we make individual errors at the back which cost us dearly, it happens every week, nothing is ever coached out of them, Ashley Young barely put a foot wrong, Leif Davis barely did anything of note all game.
Up front, where to start, Philogene creates nothing, never beats his man on the outside, Clarke not much better, cuts in and runs across the penalty box time after time and there is no end product, it may look OK to some but it's so ineffective. McAteer didn't really do anything to suggest to me he is anywhere near an Omari Hutchinson either, offered little by way of positive input.

Yes, agree with all of that.
I think there's little doubt that Hirst, Szmodics, Clarke and Philogene particularly are feeling the pressure of expectation from the start of this season, and all are struggling with it a little.
I like what I've seen of McAteer as you say, and he's bigger than I thought too. With the new intake of Ivan and Egeli too we're going to have forwards who aren't under immediate pressure but who are just the types to get the goals against packed defences I think. Once that happens, the whole front unit will be under less pressure and I truly think we're going to have a field day, with what we have at our disposal. Well, a field season.
Matusiwa and Cajuste looked fantastic at times and Nunez is another quality option there too. |  |

We didn’t lose, at home to a team with 10% out budget, after spending £200 million on players.
WOW actual WOW
I think I’m the context of where both clubs have been the last 18 months, their results, the investments, it’s not a great result.
I mean sure, grasp at straws. I thought Young was outstanding against Bromley, a real positive, but we did still lose to a fourth divisions reserve side.
Sake. You need a long hard look in the mirror if that’s the limit of your ambition for our club!
We spent £200 million, and gave McKenna a champions league contract to be this bad.
I’m sure it will improve, but I’m also sure it will be way off the 96 points from a team costing £10 million that Paul Cool assembled!!
Look in the mirror.
£200 million for abject mediocrity has consequences - our entire clubs future rests on not being this bad.
We won’t be waiting until Christmas.
Gone in October without massive improvement, and Ashton is the biggest culprit, woeful none existent vision and strategy.
Give McKenna a Real Madrid size contract isn’t a strategy!
Sake …, a draw at home to Derby.
This is like when you said Cheltenham, Forest Green and Morecambe were ‘tough sides’
You and McKenna…., zero ambition for the club, it’s always about lowering expectations.
Go and support Forest Green…, and take self preservation men Ashton and Mcjenna with you! | | | |
