Any chance of getting andros townsend back-good player with pace,not quite sure why he went back in the first place,or push edwards up and get a rb in-he obviously rates carlos,but think criticism of him for being made to play rb is unfair,as hes spent most of his career out wide-how about leadbitter right back as hes more defence minded! desperate times and all that!!

alfromcol,

I and many others flippin hope so, must be one the worst starts for years! Goals wise! I am sure at stat man will tell me/us otherwise!

'Grind out Draws' - no wonder Strikers have no chance of impressing at this Club - says all that can be said about the current Manager. OUT.

We had enough soddin' draws under Keane and alongside them more losses than wins! - as others have said grind out wins, maybe draws away from home.

Just watching qpr on telly. 12 new players from start of season. Playing like they'd been together for years. Shows what a decent manager can do.

Will this dark era for our club ever end? Evans must be incredibly frustrated that his last 3 managers ( 2 of them his appointments , so we shouldn't feel THAT sorry for him perhaps) have been able to turn silk purses into sows ears with such aplomb and shed loads of cash. Perhaps money really is the root of all evil.

Forget the hypocritical piffle of Jas whose views will forever be redundant in light of his unwavering and long standing support of the mad eyed pikey whose team selection and judgement in the transfer market are STILL the root of a lot of our problems. The problem with judging a manager before he even joins is you spend the whole time being delighted every time your team loses - not a good place.

We ( you know, the type that wants any manager of the club you support to succeed) hoped - with some reason, but still primarily with hope - that Jewell could mastermind the type of massive restructuring that was needed to turn two - no, make that about 5 - dark depressing years into something more hopeful. It is still ridiculously premature to talk of giving yet another manager the heave ho but an objective analysis would say the signs aren't good. I always say that a manager lives and dies by the players he brings in and kicks out within what he has available - ie is he able to say that he has moulded something that is taking the club forward. Right now? Clearly not. There are BIG question marks over the likes of JET (always high talent , high risk) , Bowyer ( God , how disappointing has his contribution been), Inga do da (obviously a risky sick note type) and his loyalty to Leadboots is baffling ( kick him out like weak-of-mind-and-body ponce Priskin - how anyone can bemoan his "lack of chances" beggars belief) .

Right now the whole is way way less than the sum of its individual parts and Jewell cannot dodge that forever. I'm not sure we have much choice but to hunker down - yet again - and just hope it comes good. Any manager needs time and I still hope that Jewell is given that ( how can anyone really believe that right now sacking him is the best way forward???) but he has the stain against him of Norwich at home last year and Soton / Posh this year and he has to be able to start showing some sort of sign of tangible progress soon. PLEASE!!!

We have to win against Coventry because the next 4 after that look bloody horrible and I really don't think I can stand another winter of maudling around in the bottom 6 again.

Tough times.

Jewell you need to sort out what you think is your best team ... and PDQ!

*sigh*
crass comments from a crass manager...
shocking...

This headline has done my head in... Now we need to learn how to grind out a draw....This isnt the ITFC I once knew... Shocking!!!!

Read a lot on here... lots of negative comments... saw the brsitol city game so can only comment on that, recorded on sky the peterborough game, and only watched the goals for obvious reasons...

Bowyer looks past it to me, could be wrong, but had no legs

The team has had a major overhaul, ridiculous in this league to expect any better, so will take time to gel

Consequently needs time to sort that, judge us by nov/dec

On paper, no one can complain with what PJ has bought in realistically

moaning on here wont help the team if they bother to read this

Was impressed with cresswell, said that in my post after the bristol city game, can make prem that guy for me

too early to moan, dissapointed by the 'faithful' that do moan, moan in a few months time, be deserved then

let PJ do what he needs to do first, then judge him

time! remember, RK took over sunderland after 5 games and won the league! they had lost pretty much everything before then, sometimes, I think you all forget we are not man utd!

no you thick scouser we need to play attractive attacking football and try to win games

Goodbye Ipswich Town. I'm off to enjoy myself away from this car crash of a season. See you in January when PJ and Chris "worst defence record in the whole Football League" Hutchings are gone. Hope you're enjoying your investment, ME.

no more trying to shoe horn Leadbitter into the side. No more playing 4 central midfield players! Why do managers fall into this trap of trying to squeeze their "best players" into a team. It doesnt work! Even at the highest level - we all could see that Lampard and Gerrard did not work for England, eventually the management spotted it too and started to play Gerrard on the wing (wasted) Same story here! We do, on paper have some very good central midfield players but i would much rather just pick two of them and play a couple of wingers out wide. Surely Carson offers more than Leadbitter on the right?

When we were down at half time against Saints (playing 4 central midfielders) and PJ threw on Martin and JET at half time i think we could all see how much the performance improved (coming back to 3-2 for a while before easing off the gas and letting them back in) yet on Saturday Carson didnt even make the bench so we had no pace or width at all to call on.

Saying all that, Blackpool played Phillips on his own but gave him support so he wasnt isolated. We offered Chopra nothing. I am seriously worried that he must be regretting coming now. I would hate to play up front for Town at the moment with no service.
