Should Lambert continue as the Ipswich Town manager?

Yup unbeaten in the league will be horrid.

Good thing we don't play all our games at home.

a squad and a manager with a lot more in them. we've started well and we've still got lots of potential to improve. we're not the finished project and we're short of perfection, but, hey there are more positives here than for most of the past 20 years.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Quite, having played 3 of the bottom 5 away. Tougher tests await us away from home.

A manager and a style that wouldn't have been good enough last season if you doubled his points from when KMC came in.

We're showing similar traits to last season in games and dropping points in exactly the same way we did last season where teams sit in and we fail to break them down.

We got more points against Bolton than we did last season.

So then, to take your logic we will win 69 points away and 37 at home (7 wins 16 draws). I make that 106 points. That’ll do.

In terms of how we played, we had 67% possession (similar to the other 5 games including rubbish MKD who won 4-0 away yesterday), the majority of the attempts on goal and deserved to win it. Most games of that kind we will. Some games against the tougher teams we won’t

But are Portsmouth, SW, P’Boro, Plymouth and Derby better than us? Time will tell but we have just as much if not more reason to be optimistic than they do.

Of course we can, I'm just pointing out that what we're seeing on the pitch currently mirrors our downfalls from last season. We've not shown that we're capable of adapting against teams that sit in and defend.

I think we will make the play-offs, but currently don't see us making top 2.

But we've not failed to break teams down, we're averaging 2 goals a game, and looking much more likely to score than the genuine issues from last season. It was notable how much more willing we were to go direct yesterday rather than try and pass through a wall of 9 defenders.

We let in 2 soft goals yesterday, and the ref was a disaster, but we created more than enough to win most games of football.

Sure, there will be tougher games to come, but you've made an unnecessarily negative take on things in my view.

How have we not. The 2 games we haven't won are against teams who were happy to play football. I don't see why people felt Barnsley didn't. They didn't sit as deep as some previous sides have.

Also forgetting aswell. We were 3 1 up yesterday that can't be forgotten. It's not the same as a missed open goal, it was 3 1 and we were fked. Suddenly we've won 5 and drawn one.

We scored twice yesterday, actually three times but it was wrongly disallowed. We've scored in every game this season.

I hate to break it to you but we aren't going to win 3-0 every week and we aren't going to win every game. We are joint top at the moment and 11 points better off than we were at this stage last season.

For what it is worth, I think the current top 4 will be the final top 4.

‘Similar traits to last season’

This season after 6 games = 14 points, joint top, 12 scored, 4 against.
Last season after 6 games = 3 points, 22nd, 10 scored, 15 against.

Sorry, you’re not allowed to criticise the team on here, the usuals will down thumb you and tell you off.

I’m inclined to agree with you, we’ve played the teams at the bottom and won, played two average teams and drawn.

Let’s see how we get on v Wednesday, Pompey, Posh, etc….

2 points per game is the aim, I dont care how we get them

Just saying what I see. We dominated games last season and didn't win. The only win at home was against MK who thought they could play us off the pitch and played into our hands.

It's not unnecessarily negative to say we've dropped points in 2/3 home games. It's factual.

There's no criticism about certain aspects of performances here tho wally. He's bizarrely finding fault with being undefeated. Joint top. Scoring every game going into the 2nd month of the season.

We can only beat one team above us. And those below are who we have taken points from are where they are in part because of the points we took from them.

At this stage of the season we have contributed to them being at the bottom so all this sh!te about being at the bottom is a load of crap.

We could hardly beat anyone above us as we’ve been top since the second game!

I found MK defended more than Barnsley did tbh.

Bizarrely finding fault that we've drawn two of our three homes games against mid table sides?
