Professional
at 17:20 24 Apr 2021

Either a term used to describe someone who is paid to carry out their job OR to describe the quality of their service.

Ipswich Town’s players can only be called this in name. Their attitude is as far from professional as you could be.

I don’t really have a problem with PC this season. While, he was brought in to change our fortunes, and to get us in the play-offs, my opinion is that these players have, over the years, developed a losing mentality. They are pedestrian on and off the ball; they don’t react to situations in a game; they are not as technically able as we or they thought; they lose all the big moments in matches; they don’t accept or respond to criticism. This is the squad and malaise PC inherited. It hasn’t taken him long to realise the decline that we have witnessed for the last four seasons and now he has called these ‘professionals’ out.

Whether you agree or disagree with this, one thing is for certain. The players have proved they are not good enough, at Championship or League One level. This squad will not challenge for promotion.

A new squad, with fresh impetus, ideas and mindset are badly needed. With this in mind, I am behind PC to pick players to play the football we need. I hope he blends some of our younger players to achieve this, as this is an identity of our fantastic club. He will, of course, be rightly judged on his recruitment and performance but he should be given this opportunity and not judged on the shots how that has developed as a result of years of mismanagement.
