Two positives from today 20:33 - Mar 27 with 765 views

1/ better organization at the back with a greater emphasis in closing down the ball. Our pressure on the ball defensively was much more structured

2/ we retained and won more 50/50 balls in midfield than normal. If you re-watch it’s a big improvement.

Disappointing then, that we were weak in possession of the ball and more isolated in the final third. It could be the defensive changes had an impact on our attacking game. Or Sears and Judge woeful first half threw the team off balance.

Good teams are built from the back forwards and Cook is working to improve Ipswich in 3 or 4 areas and the work he is doing is already visible. Like McCarthy when he first came in he is trying to make us stronger defensively and less “milky”.

If we’re playing against 23rd and not winning convincingly then there is no positives to take away.

Making us stronger defensively is hardly difficult - we’ve got the fourth best defence in the league as it is. 10 of the 37, nearly a quarter, came in three matches under Lambert; Doncaster, Hull and Swindon. The press was the best thing about us under him.

Winning 50/50s is certainly an improvement, though.

Poll:

Who would you play at right centre back on Saturday?
