Not the whole 'falling out of a mickey mouse competition in the most feeble fashion possible' thing, that's just par of the course for us under Lambert, but the apparent revelation that Lambert is implementing his 'style' all the way across the board.
If you want to imagine the future, imagine a free lukewarm lager being offered in lieu of another feeble defeat, forever. [Post edited 10 Nov 2020 21:23]

To be fair that has been par for the course for our past 10 managers (or at least it feels like that many). The League Cup run to the semi-final was the blip.
The issue more with the same thing in the league. I am pleased there is a style throughout the teams but not one that clearly does not work. It needs adapting or revamping and doing so very quickly. |  |

I'd be more inclined to give the style of play more time to develop if it didn't appear so obvious that we have gotten progressively worse over the 6 or so games.
It's a repeat of last season, sadly. |  |

I honestly think that at about this time last season promotion looked a hell of a lot more likely than it does now. I know that we are (supposedly) playing better football this season but I think at this stage last season we looked far more like getting results-and getting results used to be quite important. |  | | |

'But the football is better' has been the clarion call for some time now. Even as the defeats get limper and limper. | |

"Playing out from the back" has gone from providing a foundation for attack to being just a way of wasting time. The linkage to the midfield and the options to be fed up front are broken.
So we go from an attacking throw back to our goalie, then footle around while the other team has a bit of a rest, intecepts and catches us out.
Needs more energy, speed and connectivity if it stands a hope of working. |  |

A shame there's been a false dawn, as the first half a dozen games were excellent imo. We've turned turgid agina. All the running and movement was there at the start of the season, but has slipped away again. I've no idea why that should be. It can't just be a confidence thing, shirley? |  |

Indeed. Fully appreciate we've had no luck with injuries but we've really struggled with playing any kind of threat and tempo as well.
You are right re. Midfield linkage. | |

I'd rather we picked up points and win games then play with a style in this division. It means absolutely piss all to out pass a team in the third division if you cant beat anyone who can play a bit, which is us.
I think the whole things a joke, when he came in he was saying he was going to play a certain way, take cups seriously and so on but it seems being manager of Ipswich and working under Evans sucks anything out of anyone who comes here, the mans a total curse on our club. |  |

We should have offered 'none' a much longer contract. | |

Even Wikipedia is struggling on our manager between 12th August and 11th November 1937, unless they're just lacking his first name. "Bobby None"? |  | | |

It's been your clarion call more than anyone else I've seen. |  |
