when lambert goes 17:42 - Nov 30 with 946 views | positivity | i hope there isn't a 180 reaction to all of the changes that he's made, even if they're currently derided as pr paul spin. hope they keep -the (initial!) restoration of the links to the fans that hurst/mick broke -the continuity of playing style from academy to 1st team -the links to the historical successes, keeping the likes of dyer/klug/nash/butch/wark involved whether that's the first team or ambassadorial roles -the move away from the agricultural style of mccarthy it's very tempting to react against everything that a failed manager does, but it's not the best way... |  |

it doesn't have to be the opposite! keep the passing style with more pressing & more forward-thinking! the choice isn't tippie-tappie vs cambridge-united-in-the-'80s... |  |

All well and good in the short term but most people got bored of Mick and he was the best at getting results playing ugly. The same will happen again and the cycle will continue. |  |

I'd take four decent years followed by a bit of tedium at this point. |  |

All part of the process, isn't it? Employ manager, keep them employed if they make progress, get someone else in if they don't. Ipswich Town seem to be the only club in the football league committed to the idea that we owe whoever we have as first team coach season after season to get things right. |  |

Let’s be honest though, it was never long balls into the box was it? The vast majority of the time it was an aimless punt upfield after a spell of passing it around the back. Luckily Murphy got on the end of a few of them but more by luck than design. |  | |  |

So similar to now but without Murph? That's assuming we humour your inaccurate characterisation. |  |

Don't blame you particularly. But like I say, the cycle then continues. It comes down to Evans appointing the right man, which he doesn't have great form for. Even if he does, there doesn't seem to be any managerial structure in place for someone to succeed within. |  |

Is it realistic for us to hope for more than that? How often do modest sized clubs have consistent success for more than half a decade or so? |  |
