Thread | Brighton are a better, more experienced version of us at this level.

And once we went behind I feared we would really struggle to get back into it as although they struggle up front they are good defensively.
But we gave them a good game before their first and if we'd got the first goal I'm confident we could've won it. |

Thread | Just need to gamble a bit more with getting shots off and crossing into the box.

And then we might have got something from that second half. Bit slow getting to the ball in the second half, but we largely sorted that in the second half. Arsenal were Arsenal, one of the very best in the country and Europe. Not at their best but still far more than most teams in the world could cope with but we stood firm and in the second half competed with them. Good display in the end. Now we need to carry that level of performance into our games with the 'lesser' teams. |

Thread | What are the rules on when the half-time or full-time whistle goes?
at 20:52 26 Dec 2024
I've always thought that it blows when it blows, no matter what stage of the game, even if the ball is about to cross the goal line. Yet there's been a few teams complaining about it blowing when they're in an attacking position, including Liverpool just now. Has the rule changed in some way, or is this just footballers complaining about anything that doesn't advantage them again? [Post edited 26 Dec 2024 20:52]

Brilliant resilience, didn't let their heads drop like some of us did. Such an important win. |

Fans on their back for everything, lethargic, there for the taking.
Now they and the crowd are full of confidence, they're getting to balls first. Just need to make the most of when we're on top. [Post edited 14 Dec 2024 16:47]

He'd got his confidence up, made some real match-saving saves and then that. |

Thread | We are good enough.
at 23:02 3 Dec 2024
We've shown that in games such as Spurs, Man Utd, Liverpool, etc.
But we need to start showing it games that are winnable too, like tonight, Forest, Everton, etc too. If we had then we'd comfortably have a handful of wins in our pocket.
We now need to those top performances against Bournemouth and Wolves, rather than just saving them for Newcastle, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Do we just struggle to get up for these games? Do teams like Palace and Forest underestimate us less? Do games like the Man Utd take it out of us? Just can't fathom it.
Anyway, up the Town, another good opportunity to get going again on Sunday. |

Thread | As recently as late 2020 under Paul Lambert.

I truly believed I'd never see Ipswich Town in the Premier League ever again. It wasn't going to happen under Evans, not from the depths we had dropped to and in all honestly I was questioning if we might ever even get back into the Championship. Without someone coming in and buying us nothing was ever going to get better and I couldn't imagine who the heck would even consider buying us! And even then, who was to say we wouldn't get a wrong 'un making things even worse as has been seen elsewhere?
Yet just four years later, we could climb out of the relegation in the Premier League with a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as unlikely as that may be. Really wish I could be there and it'll be agony listening to it on the radio I'm sure, but I am absolutely loving the fact that we're there at all.
Try and enjoy this afternoon, whatever happens (even dodgy refereeing decisions!), especially if you're lucky enough to be there at what sounds like an incredible stadium.

Thread | I'm more disappointed in my reaction at the end than the result.
at 19:04 2 Nov 2024
I'm always telling my kids the importance of showing respect to the officials, that we need the officials or there is no game. Yet at the end I was screaming at them as they came off, I so angry. I never do that and I was annoyed with myself for that.
They really didn't do themselves any favours today, but they should've been helped more by VAR and ultimately they are just doing their job. We also should've put the game to bed before the red card (too many attempts not even on target) and as others have said, regardless of whether it was a foul on Morsy we could've managed that situation so much better.
However, it is galling how much generally (not just ref decisions, but the way everything seems to be going currently) is going against us. As if staying up wasn't going to be hard enough.
Still, another great performance, hopefully the results we deserve will follow sooner rather than later. |

We have again shown that we can compete in this league. A threadbare squad, ten men, having lost a 2-0 lead, we have still fought back away at a really good team. |

I know we need to get that first win, but especially after the last two games will we be happy with another point and another good performance away against a really good team to steady the ship? |
