The strangest home game ive ever watched. 21:43 - Oct 21 with 3685 viewswaveneyblue

How we ended up at 3 nil down Ive no idea, but my god you have to praise Charltons performance. Tackled, blocked absolutely everything and clinical in attack. Superb away display.

Let's hope this is the night we look back on as the turning point, if not this is going to be a horrible season.

Now for the postmortem, try to play nicely everyone. Im not convinced you will.

Full credit to Charlton yes.

But that shouldn’t take away from the worst defensive performance from any team at Portman road in memory. Worse than Sheffield Uniteds was against us. By a distance.

Their decision to not sit deep after their first goal was inspired on 22:49 - Oct 21 with 566 viewsunstableblue

Given our dominance for the majority of the first half and their low block, once they’d got the goal it would be have been a common and easier decision to then drop back into the low block again and try and see it out. But they almost got more adventurous and their subs rather than refreshing tired legs actually upped the tempo.

Hats off to them.

Confidence is everything.

They were everything we aren’t.

Together, passionate, organised, want to defend…, we had more quality on the ball, but with zero end product.

3-0 flattered them.., but not by much.., they missed another 3 good chances too.

This is in Ashton.., backed McKenna like he was champions league veteran.., not a man without a single game managing at that level, pure laziness and lack of skill form Ashton.., there’s a reason he’s 35 years in the EFL

As for McKenna - he made his bed when he used Brighton to screw us for every penny he could!!!

He’s paid more than 70% of premier league managers.

Jones schooled him tonight.., he’s not the first and won’t be the last.., McKenna isn’t even elite in the EFl.., he inherited 23/24 mostly, and can’t build a group, he’s tried and failed twice, and at £200 million spent, there can’t be a third time.

Fool me once ..,


I actually started reading this but then scrolled up to see who the poster was...

Shame on me!

We ended up 3 down, because at this precise moment in time, we can’t score, and we can’t defend ..

For myself, I’m looking at next season as the one where there a promotion campaign is really expected. The amount of churn there’s been has me taking a long view.

Mind you, they’d better get a shift on with the relegation zone only 5 points away.


You must be joking, the likes of Wolves and West Ham will likely take top two next year and Philogene, Clarke etc would be sold if we don't go up this year.

30 shots but only 5 on target tells a story.

To lose a game where you dominate possession and chances, 3.0 ... not sure what happened.

Piles the pressure on Saturday, hopefully we start with our best x1.

Plus side, Clarke looked excellent tonight, felt for him given some of the chances he created.

What a strange selection of highlights - Charlton had 2 of the clearest chances in the first half and they are not shown, whereas our best chances are in the second half and are not shown, yet they show McAteer twice going nowhere near!

They could and should have scored five, was like watching my u10s all pushed foward, tracked no one, without Matusiwa the cover was zero.

Too many want to go foward and not worry about the dirty stuff. Cajuste for the third was jaw dropping, don’t see many midfielders just giving up on a ball in the box.

Standards have dropped, Morsy would not have tolerated some of the stuff seen tonight


A squad of players here for the monthly salary that’s it, period.
Everyone had an agent in the close season looking for a bigger wage
but couldn’t find one so came back to or stayed with Ipswich. And it
really shows. The money without ethos is wasted.
