Great messaging and direction from Marcus. And obviously a veiled criticism of previous managers, who had styles that were not sustainable as a product to get fans through the turnstiles, but did bolster Marcus' lack of investment!
However, has he chosen the right manager to implement the technical approach? I do think Paul does not want to play "a more physical, direct approach". But does he have the acumen to play the style of football we want and being played by the likes of Oxford? Ask me at Oxford after 90mins on Tuesday!
Must beat Accrington!
“I believe we will have a really exciting footballing team over the next five years,” Evans writes. “I mention the term ‘footballing team’ as I indicated 18 months ago that to get to where we all eventually want to be, we need to be a footballing team.
“In my first years as an owner, I believed a more physical, direct approach was the way to move forward. Football has changed though. Clubs in the Championship and definitely in the Premier League are playing a much more TECHNICAL game now.
“I feel there is also a duty to the supporters that we play in an entertaining manner. I want to enjoy watching the team play. I’m sure the fans do.
------
The stakes are highest at first-team level of course and there will always be a plan B, plan C on how to win a football match but the foundations of how Ipswich Town will play - while I’m owner - will be around the TECHNICAL approach - and that desire to play a brand of football that entertains supporters.
“I think we have played that way for much of the time Paul has been here. Perhaps we have dropped off a bit over the last month or so and this league is more physical in style than the Championship but having been party to the different approaches I can see that a more TECHNICAL playing style is more complex than developing a direct approach. It needs more time for everyone in the squad to feed off each other |  |

| Another observation/criticism on 08:38 - Jan 10 with 1065 views | unstableblue |
This statement:
"“Much has been said of our rotation policy and I want to address this point. A key part of our strategy is to develop 22 players all challenging for every position on the pitch — no comfort zones."
It is clearly a strategy with an objective. BUT i've seen too many players who have played well dropped and those that have played well kept in, to state that this objective is being effectively implemented. | |

Didn't pick up any criticism of previous managers in there, more an explanation of his own approach. Although I'm utterly unconvinced he ever sat down and decided "Right, we need a more direct style" in any case and find this entire statement — whether I like Lambert or not — pretty fluffy and disappointing. Nice ideas in principle but I'll believe we're on track to outthink other clubs of our size over the long term when we have adequate technical and scouting resources at our disposal. As things are we are, like always, doing things on the hoof. [Post edited 10 Jan 2020 8:43]

In the early days of Lambert there were real signs of us emulating his days at Norwich, the first half at the Madejski epitomised that where we ripped Reading apart and everyone at the game went down for a pint at half time staring at each other in disbelief at how good it was. After the failure to win that game it became a bit more dogged and we eventually ran out of steam after Reading's last minute winner at PR imo.
The style has been mixed this season between slow, patient possession based football and balls into channels to stretch the opposition.
Whether everything he's tried has worked or not is there for all to see but one thing we can't criticise Lambert for is not implementing different styles and trying things that are technically different - it's just time he settled on a plan A, B and C and choose an identity. |  |

Oh Artboss,
As I state I'm not suggesting Marcus is able to implement this. But at least he's finally woken up to the feck ups of his previous appointments. And the truth on what type of manager we need - a technical one.
As per my post the deeply worrying concern is whether Paul Lambert is actually able to play a technical style that is actually effective. I'm yet to be convinced.
Ask me after Oxford. | |

The '5 point plan' is also a nice idea in principal however we don't have the capability as a club to go through with it.
No structure + minimal investment = regression | |

Agree - some promise of a technical approach and a style we can all get behind.
But its only in 45mins blasts and its only in 50% of games at best.
But there have been moments.
Just not for about 15 games! | |

Yes Marcus probably can't implement it; but it is what we need to aspire to.

It's like you believe Marcus Evans has any clue what he's talking about. His programme notes look like he decided to do a copy and paste job from TWTD and he just happened to stumble on one of your posts first. |  |

‘Technical’ is basically a made-up descriptor though, you could ask 10 different people what a ‘technical’ manager is and get 10 different responses
Chances are that even if this was something that Evans was actually capable of and serious about doing, rather than some nice fluffy words to reassure the gullible that we have a plan, that his vision is entirely different to yours |  |

.... we have improved our passing, and midfield control. But we're not stretching and opening enough teams enough and really cranking up the pressure on the box.
In fact we've had this for a long time.
We need that KVY or perhaps Bishop,even Dobra, to start stretching the opposition. | |

I've seen previous little evidence of our passing and midfield control improving despite us now being in a poor league where we should be superior to pretty much every other side. | |

So you think the Chairman of our Football club just used a 'made-up descriptor' as a key point in his message to his club' fan base.
We really are screwed.
Note: the FA use the term technical as a key definition in describing the higher levels of their Coaching Programme | |

I wonder if the Madejski disappointment had the same affect on PL that it did on MM when we got tonked 5-1 there. MM showed signs of playing some more expansive football with greater attacking intent until Reading scored from all angles and ran us ragged - the rest is history.
Not sure why we're not playing with the same verve as we did in the first half that day, half the starting eleven is the same still. | |

We've agreed on a lot this season but have to disagree on this one. I think we've controlled the midfield in the vast majority of the games and the possession stats are testament to that. Our issue has been turning that control into something in the final third and cutting out silly errors at the back. | |

Disagree. We have lots of the ball because teams sit off us, especially at home, and we pass it across the back four a fair bit, usually before launching it aimlessly. I've seen our midfield being ineffectual far more than I've seen it genuinely bossing a game. At home I can only really think of Sunderland first half, Wimbledon second half, and Tranmere second half where we've really looked dominant and bossed the midfield. | |
