Yesterday was the ultimate 'reality check' We are physical, hard working and give no one an easy game, but as Norwich proved yesterday if you are prepared to compete and win the battle and you have the extra class, you will win! We know we need better players, players with pace and vision (this was too obvious from yesterday) but in big Mick's defence who and where are these players within his budget? I think a top ten finish is the best we can hope for?

A poor match with little creativity. Norwich showed more desire than Ipswich and crucially held on to the ball better too. I am not opposed to a slow build up with lots of sideways and backwards passing before an attack, but it is only effective if you probe with short passes and menacing runs. we have no one to run at defenders with the ball and tend to 'build up' only to then punt up a long one which is so easy to defend and consequently lose possession. 1 x Johnny Williams style player would fix 50% of yesterdays shortfalls. AT NO TIME DID WE MAKE NORWICH THINK THEY WERE IN TROUBLE!

We need the Cresswell money invested as promised

For anyone suggesting that MM and TC should go or have done as much as they can for the team...

Speak to a Wolves fan, it's said getting rid was the worst thing they ever did.

Same old same old, we need someone who knows where the goal IS! And someone to replace Norris !

we were second best across the park, whilst our front two are not the best in the league they had to feed off nothing more than scraps. we have an indecisive goalkeeper and possibly the worst midfield in the league who create absolutely nothing. I did not think that Norwich played that well but they were streets ahead of us on the ball. What did the manager say earlier, that he would accept 3 wins out of the first four games if the defeat was against Norwich. Well Mick you def got your wish re the Norwich game but only a scrambled draw at Birmingham and we hung on for the home win against Fulham. Fulham havenot set the league a light.Come on Mick we deserve better, go out and find some thing better for our midfield.Will be travelling to see the game at Derby on saturday??

Two poor teams playing badly. We lacked any cutting edge and allowed them to bully us. The goal, "in the referee's opinion" was onside so we're stuffed end off. More to the point we have Sky to thank for the proof that if Skuse and Gherkin had gone a half job they might not have scored and if they had done a proper job they wouldn't have scored. Gherkin seemed routed to his goal line for all of the second half, I'm a lower Sir Bobby so can't comment on the first half. Where is the money we got for Cresswell. We require a proper striker who can score- wait one- Mc Goldrick and Murphy can but they also have to create the chance which is wrong. We need a poacher. We need a forward attacking midfield player or players. One or two who know how to defend as well as how to put the foot on the ball, pass it or to have the compunction to carry the ball froward, a few midfield masies wouldn't go a miss. We need a keeper. A proper keeper who actually does the job. Way and above all of this we need some spirit in the camp. We need players who want to p[lay for the cub, the fans the town. However much they are on a week, very few of them have Town in their blood. They are doing a job, which it basically is just like a bricklayer of an accountant. Without real proper passion and 100% belief in Ipswich Town Football Club we're sunk, because we haven't got the money to buy a squad. They need to get that solid emotional attachment that is far and above a contract and a pay packet.
