We’ll have more points from KM’s 14 games than the prior 23 this season.
Silly really. |  |

All those points thrown away early in the season. Sickening. And I see Cooky’s Chesterfield conceded a late equaliser at home yesterday. |  |

Even more frustrating when you think of how many points we lost through individual errors too... evans & wolfy losing the ball outside our box . That goal which penney left at the far post etc. 6 maybe more points without those |  |

Although when you’re so disorganised defensively and as cavalier in your approach as we were, you maximise your chances of shipping goals, whether it be individual errors or otherwise. It’s a percentages game, we’re so much better in and out of possession now that it stands to reason that we’ll concede less goals both through control of possession and a better defensive shape. Prevention is better than cure.
We were sh1t under Cook, he just seemed to rely on having better quality players for the most part. Never struck me as being anywhere near as into the detail as KM. | |

Yeah you can't imagine PC getting players watching prem videos and then working with them individually on how to improve their game.
He openly admitted its doing the same thing over and over again until you get better at doing what you are doing rather than looking at the bigger picture and getting more from individuals.
I'm really intrigued to see the likes of Edwards, Harper. Even dobra in the summer. ( I don't think dobs is done yet) [Post edited 6 Mar 2022 16:17]

If Fraser had scored that penalty at Burton and Bonne that chance at Cheltenham then the season would’ve been totally different and Cook would still be here imo. |  |

Spot on. Cook poached rather than coached.
He just hoped a new broom approach would eventually pay dividends but a lot of managers with a previous promotion on their CV are discovering the game has moved on.
I didn’t want Cook at the start but I freely admit I didn’t think he should have been sacked when he was. And that was partly down to a so-called shortlist of successors like Harris, McInnes etc who offered nothing different.
But McKenna has a higher ceiling compared to all of those. I am mightily impressed with him, particularly his tactical acumen.
Look at Saturday, replacing a striker with a defensive midfielder on paper looks questionable when you’re chasing a win but it worked. Look at MK Dons away when they were dominating the first 15 minutes, quick tweak to the midfield and suddenly we’re in control.
How many times under Cook did we start well, only for the opposition to work us out, adjust tactically and win or draw the game.
There will no doubt be bumps in the road but McKenna has got me feeling optimistic about Ipswich for the first time in seven years. |  | | |

its strange how you didn't want cook and then yet thought it was too early to sack him when we did -- despite being awful. It's the opposite of me.
I freely admit i wanted Cook here and thought he was what we needed. I couldn't have been more wrong - 'one of the lads' type managers fail as soon as things start going wrong. It never actually even really got going!
I then thought we sacked him 2 or 3 games too late. |  |

As you know I loved PC coming in.
Why wouldn't you his success was what we needed.
But the Fraser use an That Bolton game was the one that turned it for me. 2 full weeks of training and we played like that, was a shambles for me and I'd lost trust then. | |

I think my feelings towards Cook at the time of his appointment were clouded by my Pompey mates telling me what a fraud he was. Screwed up promotion in his first season with them and then only managed it in his second season because he couldn’t really fail again with the squad he had.
I also felt a lot of Ipswich fans were seduced by the evidence of two cup games. But he never once struck me as tactically astute when he was here, although he clearly wasn’t helped by his inexperienced assistants. When he turned to Peter Reid, I think that was a shark jumped.
The irony is I thought sacking him when we did would actually write off the rest of the season. But as you quite rightly state, we should have done it sooner. | | | |
