It’s fair to say the second half yesterday was the Ipswich we love to see. Lovely incisive attacks from an organised base with players tracking back and winning their defensive battles. What is going to be the secret sauce to building consistency? Will we see 9 or so out of that 11 being our consistent starters?
It feels like the team that started yesterday is the one that has best on pitch connections when it plays. |  | | |  |

It's simple, keep the same team!!
Only change for injuries or suspension. |  |

Its simple, its 'Confidence'
Football is 90% confidence, 10% ability.
I've mentioned it on here before, last time in the Championship we had so much confidence we had players passing across field without even looking. That's what winning does for a team.
Once we start a winning run confidence will return. But this is also where fans can help. Loads of fans groaning yesterday after only 5 mins because a player doesn't control a ball was f**king ridiculous. Others shouting 'sub Hirst now' after only a few mins again ridiculous.
I've always said I wish those fans had worked in my company as they're so perfect they never makes mistakes.
Confidence will come and then you'll see more of the 2nd half displays.
*Note I'm not expecting the fans to stop moaning as we have some of the biggest entitled fans in football, we always have. |  | | |

Scoring the first goal helps. It was a stodgy first half until we got the goal, second half was a different game. Scoring first means teams have to come at us more and they then leave spaces that we can exploit and it also gives us a confidence boost. Too often this season we've not taken chances when on top in games and then conceded the first time the opposition has got near our goal, usually from an error of some sort. Trying to break down sides sitting deep and defending a one goal lead isn't easy even if you have way more quality than the opposition. |  |

Agree and for me that starts vs Stoke by keeping faith with largely the same set up. We have optimised the starting team for fitness, now is the time to optimise for confidence. | | | |

No, ridiculous to say football is 90% confidence. Confidence is only a small part of the game but it’s a key factor that can make the difference when sides are reasonably well matched.
Don’t sell player ability, tactics and leadership short.
If it was 90% confidence then surely a side coming to Portman Road on the back of 5 consecutive wins and 10 points clear at the top should have walked it yesterday? [Post edited 7 Dec 9:38]

I agree to an extent. And that is fine when your squad players who know their place, like Kaden Jackson. But when you have multi £ million signings like Jack Clarke, Jacob Greaves etc, who would walk into any top 2 chasing Championship sides then you have to rotate a little more than you may want to. |  |

Hard to give an exact % but L1>Champ season showed that confidence we'd built up certainly helped. Equally the opposite can be said for the PL season. |  |

Confidence and momentum is important obviously and our promotion team was obviously at pretty much max confidence; but if you believe that confidence is so important in that success, you are doing the players skill levels a serious disservice.
If you believe psychologigal condition is that more important than football skills, you are much deluded. To get where they are in the game, players face many challenges going through the age groups. Without the confident mindset, they do not even get as far pro contract level. Try 10% confidence 90% skillset and athletic ability. | | | |
