Was buzzing when he signed this time last season and thought he’d boss this league. He’s obviously trying hard, but for whatever reason it hasn’t happened has it? I dunno, age, tactics, confidence, mind somewhere else? Thought after last week maybe he’d turned the corner but.... |  | | |  |

Flat track bully.
He’ll look stunning during April, but be anonymous against Fleetwood, Coventry and Portsmouth. |  | | |

I can’t knock his effort. He gives it his all. There are flashes of quality but he doesn’t trouble the opposition enough. He seems a yard slower than most so doesn’t find the space he needs to produce any meaningful end product on a consistent basis.
Might be time to give Bish a run of games in there. Might as well shake things up a bit. It can’t get any worse can it?! |  | | |

Lambert's poor tactics and the losses that have resulted from said tactics have caused the players' confidence to fall. |  |

Nonsense. He has persistently lpayed and supported him despite awful performances. Confidence is important, but there comes a point where you just have to accept he is not the player people seem to remember.
Yesterday he was awful. Never quick enough to beat a man, or to get to a loose ball first, and not physical or fleet footed enough to retain the ball under pressure. He offered precisely nothing- and any player up against him was comfortable in the knowledge that he would inevitably turn back inside and pass backwards, because he hasnt the ability to do anything else. In a 3 without another real attacking midfielder- he has to be the link between midfield and attack. Yet again, he went looking for the ball out wide, where he doesnt have the attributes to get free and get crosses in and lost out time and time again to opponents when in the middle.
Quite how he stayed on the pitch, after slowing down every move, is beyond me. The logic in putting him out wide when we neede a goal, rather than Edwards, who at least has some pace and aggression at times, is unfathomable. |  |

He certainly was. Easy to say in hindsight, but both our big Summer signings have been low key disastrous. It's pretty likely Judge and Norwood both feature in the top ten earners in the division and we really needed them to play like it. |  |

He shouldn't be in the team. My memory isn't great but I can only think of one game that he's stood out, and that was last week against Burton |  | | |

The only good perfomance I have seen from him. | |

He's in the team basically because him and Garbutt are the only two midfielders we have who generate anything at all, sadly. | |

But he doesnt generate anything at all.
Not a thing. Too slow, too lightweight (somethign Dozzell gets lambasted for...) and knows he cant beat anyone- so always turns back inside. Easy for defenders. | |

Didn't go, but his 2 goals were basically flukes anyway. He's forgotten how to kick a ball. |  |

What I mean is, *statistically speaking*, him and Garbutt are the only people who have generated anything at all.
Of Ipswich's midfielders, Judge is 1st for assissts, 2nd for goals (behind Garbutt), 1st for shots, 2nd for chances created (behind Garbutt).
Yeah, he's not been great, but our midfield has *no one* providing anything significant going forward. It's the central reason why we're rubbish. | |

The let down is similar to that of Sedgley and Slater if my memory serves. |  | | |

Christ, I’ve just looked it up and you’re absolutely right - which I assume is why when I’m picking a lineup in my head I invariably end up including Judge
I think the big issue however is that he was basically signed in the expectation that he would be a cut above, and presumably has a salary to match, and he really isn’t coming anywhere close to those expectations. Tend to agree with Herbivore that he just doesn’t have it since his leg break, excuses have long run out and he isn’t going to get any younger. If only he had forced the issue when QPR came knocking! |  |

I never understood why so many rated him so highly. Possibly because we'd had such rubbish for a number of years that the bar was very low?
He played most of his early football in L1 before getting promoted with Brentford, had a full season and then one stand out season with them before his bad injury. He struggled to regain form and couldn't hold down a first team spot afterwards. He's shown the occasional flash of brilliance, mostly early on, but has been consistently average at best in L1 this year. |  |

That's absolutely it. It's not that Judge has been bad compared to any of our other midfielders, it's that in the Summer we only had the resources to sign a couple of players that were out of reach financially for most of the rest of the division and our squad wasn't strong enough for those two players to only do 'alright'. | |
