Seems a lot of people seem to forget that Lincoln beat Burnley away after they knocked us out.........
We played poorly in that game with a much changed team, but didn't get out thought. We simply didn't (and don't) prioritise cup competitions. |  | | |  |

We had a strong team for the draw at Portman Road. As usual Lawrence got us out of jail.
The line up was a bit weaker at Sincil Bank, but should still have been capable of putting in a performance.
We were truly abject v Lincoln, there are no excuses. |  |

It wasn't a much changed team, it was largely the first team.
And we played as badly as we did on any other week of last season, and it got us beaten by a non league side. That's what was so galling about it. We didn't have an off day, it was business as usual. | | | |

Lincoln away and Rotherham away were the two worst performances of last season by a country mile
Both were weakened teams but that's no excuse at all. |  |

Burnley and Brighton both had bigger fish to fry, we didn't.
We lost to them over 2 legs and were comprehensively outplayed by a team coached by PE teachers.
There's no excuse - unless your boss is ME. | | | |

Our performance - on prime time BBC ONE - was a complete shambles, embarrassment and completely indefensible. | | | |

Not sure what your point is here. Yes we were awful, but anyone falling over themselves screaming that Mick should have gone then is deluded: we go out early in the cups every year - neither Mick nor Evans value it highly and thus the latter doesn't judge the former on it. |  |

Being crap for 2 years and capping it off by being deservedly beaten on national television by a non league side is usually a sackable offence at a football club. Nothing deluded about it. | | | |

Fair enough if we're chasing the playoffs or have something to play for, then the cups are the lowest priority.
But our season was over as far as playoffs or relegation were concerned when we played Lincoln.
Mick should have gone then, it was quite clear then (as it is now) that he has failed to build on the playoff team and that the squad aren't running through walls for him anymore.
All things come to an end, Mick's end should have been after Lincoln which just compounded our league form and ultimately became our worst season for decades.
PS I bet you disagree, then I'll disagree, then you'll disagree etc etc etc [Post edited 31 Jul 2017 18:01]

You can cut out 'and capping it off by being deservedly beaten on national television by a non league side', and have a point, and many felt he should have gone at the end of last season.
Mick isn't judged on cups under Evans. Never has, never will. [Post edited 31 Jul 2017 18:00]

He isn't judged on league placings either. | | | |

This is an owner that decided the best thing to do after beating Norwich at home was to sack the manager.
I genuinely don't think there is anything Mick could do that would put him in danger. He's already done everything that would have invoked a P45 from any other owner. | | | |

Shouldn't we be worrying more about this season rather than keep trawling up the calamities of last!. | | | |

Very good point, however this season is going to be an extension of last season if everything stays the same. Same lack of investment, same manager with the same negative ideas and the same upset supporters, at least the ones that are still going to support. We have to start trying to build momentum this season, this includes naming a strong team to try and win cup games. We have never benefited from resting players, we usually fail to win our next league games. MM must be on borrowed time, now is the time to try a different approach, he has nothing to lose. |  | | |

Guess what, what Burnley do is no interest to me as I'm an ITFC fan |  |

I don't care, I'm not a Burnley fan.
I'm an Ipswich fan and we were dreadful in the first game and appalling in the second. |  |

They also knocked out Brighton, but too many fans live in a bubble where they don't look at anything outside ITFC |  |

Lincoln was a funny one - I think what was irritating most was the certain players, (Leon Best particularly) didn't seem to give a hoot. As usual the club's PR handling of the result was terrible and Mick's post match comments rankled. Lincoln did play well, they played to win and not only against us, however, we played like we didn't care- which given the warning shot they fired at us at home, you'd have though and expected the team to have had rockets strapped to them on the replay [Post edited 31 Jul 2017 20:03]

Didn't Brighton make a large number of changes as they (and Burnley come to mention it) had some thing better to play for? | |

So did we in reality though.
We've never taken cups seriously under ME and MMc so to sack him for a competition that has previously been disregarded would be unfair - there were plenty of more worthy times to do so | |

It wasn't just the defeat, but the manner of it... often when a club are the victim of a "giant-killing", they have invariably have numerous chances, hit the bar, keeper makes great saves etc.
We were a shambles, especially in the second leg and thoroughly deserved to lose.
And us having something to play for was another, different mess of our own making. | |

We should show a interest in the cup games though.
Those two divs you mention should be bloody ashamed . | |

McCarthy may have never taken the cups seriously,but,come on Joe,this was a disgraceful showing even by our standards! |  |
