Cook and Cowleys not right for us... another mistake waiting to happen 17:40 - Nov 28 with 8079 views | unstableblue | Lambert, hurst, Jewell never coached us well, mick coached us effectively but it was anti football and broke from the academy style and was short termist We’ve been outplayed for years by lesser funded sides, who were better coached. There is an Ipswich way, we demand passing, on the ground, attacking football with waves of pressure - there just is!!!! None of Marcus appointments have come even close Coventry showed the league how to play last season - how the feck does a club in such disarray, get a style and manager we can only dream of at the moment I must add that ward and Chambo were poor... judge once moved into a decent position did OK |  |

Crewe were more impressive this year. And I like the Cowleys. I have saw Lincoln a few times under them and I like their passion and the way they get the team motivated.

Cook and Cowleys not right for us... another mistake waiting to happen on 18:08 - Nov 28 with 3421 views | Harry_Palmer | Cook & Cowleys would both be a HUGE upgrade on Lambert and we'd be lucky to get either. i'm not sure if you have noticed but we are in the 3rd division and don't have a pot to p!ss in. And Chambers was one of our better players today, Ward average but not terrible. |  | |  |
Cook and Cowleys not right for us... another mistake waiting to happen on 18:11 - Nov 28 with 3412 views | DanTheMan | Have you forgotten what league we are in? Honestly, fook "playing the Ipswich way", we need to win games and get out of this division. If that means scraping by and bullying teams, so be it. The idea that Cook and Cowley wouldn't be right for us is mental. We'd be very lucky if we could attract Cook. |  |

We just need to get out of this league.... on 18:15 - Nov 28 with 3363 views | Bloots | ....and back into the Championship. It's pointless planning for the future and looking at long terms plans will we are playing in a pub league. Cowley or Cook would both be upgrades on the tosser we currently have. It's not rocket science. |  |

I don't understand why anyone would want Cowley, he's basically the league one Pulis. I've only been following Ipswich for 11 years and I've already seen enough route one football to last a lifetime. At the end of the day professional football wouldn't exist without fans, and if the football wasn't entertaining there wouldn't be fans in the first place. We need a manager, regardless of League and situation, who tries to get his teams playing passing, attacking football. Entertainment matters. |  |

I think some of this hoof stuff is over played. Lincoln played pretty decent football when they came to Portman road in the FA cup under the Cowleys. |  |

No we need to win games and get out of this division, the Cowleys have a track record of winning football matches. The current idiot has installed a 'passing football' philosophy and look where it has got us? We are lucky if we get into the opposition's 18 yard box 3 times per game, I have honestly never been so bored watching the last two matches. |  | |  |

I'm sorry but playing route one football will be equally boring to me if we're in the Championship or in League One. Not even trying to play entertaining football is an insult to the paying fans (without whom professional football wouldn't exist) |  |

Right here and now we need to get out of this godforsaken league, how we do it is immaterial, or we fester and rot here for years. |  | |  |

I agree with you we don't want route one. But did you see the Brighton / Liverpool game today? Brighton played nice football but also played some more direct passed early to break the Liverpool high defensive line. And it worked they looked a decent,confident side. What we had today was so boring it was insane. We barely create a chance. Talk about getting out of your seat, I could hardly bother watching. You need confident player first. Then some of the swagger and goals brings everything up. [Post edited 28 Nov 2020 18:42]

I think the OP somehow still thinks that because he tap around aimlessly at the back, we're a passing and 'technical' team still. |  |

We're essentially playing route one now. It's just that we play ten pointless passes around the backline BEFORE lumping. |  |

I don't understand why it's this season or bust though? Obviously I'd be very disappointed not to get promoted, but what's to suggest we wouldn't just get promoted next season. A load of players are out of contract, but in all honesty the only one that will really hurt us is losing Dozzell (to a point Edwards and Jackson). Downes and Woolfenden (our best players not named Andre Dozzell) are both contracted for a few years yet so we wouldn't be in that terrible a position if we weren't to go up, surely? |  |

That's got nothing to do with my post though, I was talking about potential new managers not our current one. |  |

No I think Lambert has failed and should go, he has failed just like all of Marcus's appointments. There was some minor improvement in passing and possession, and I think he had a plan this season which has been hampered by injury, but he just doesn't the technical acumen to be effective. I hoped he would progress us. I know you like the Cowleys, but they simply won't win over Ipswich fans. |  |

Agree Cook and Cowley would be better than what we have And agree Chambo was streets ahead of Ward, and had some good moments, too may errors |  |
