It seems Loach is going through a phase of one error/game. Unfortunately as a goalkeeper there's very little margin for error (while a striker making one mistake a game wouldn't be a bad thing). I wonder how much is psychological?

The defence looked solid enough. I'll need to watch the replays of the goals but at the match there wasn't any specific feeling that any defenders had messed up.

Not so sure about the midfield, seemed to give the ball away too much while defensively sound. Nobody really put their foot on the ball. Perhaps it's time to rotate the squad a bit, especially Tabb/Edwards who didn't really add much width.

McGoldrick looked decent, especially in the first third but started to drift out of the game after that. Murphy looked rather mediocre. Again perhaps another forward could be given a chance ahead of him.

We had a good first half but crumbled in second as Leeds scored two lucky deflected goals. Mike Dean had a quite poor game, with a goal which could have stood. We could've had up to two penalties with a handball on the line from Noel Hunt and another handball which I've seen penalties given for just inside the area. Leeds' skipper Austin had chopped Cresswell in half. Possibly two sendings off. Murphy had a poor game but when Tunnicliffe came on Ipswich had a bit more creativity

My first game this season and with expectations high i was very disappointed. MM can't play 4 mids with no prospects of any goals. Sadly Hyam has no creativity and Edwards looks over the hill. I would never have signed Murphy (too slow and poor scoring record) we should have gone for Barnett who's back scoring for Peterborough or someone similar (young and quick). As we weren't worrying Leeds much the pressure was bound to stretch our defense so I'd keep the faith. Shame we didn't get Stearman though! Didn't rate Nouble either!!

We need a creative mid. man.... Jamie O Hara go get him mick !!!! AND BILLY SHARP ON LOAN

Leeds were narrow and Creswell exposed them in the first half but McDermott noticed this and set them out with more width and they ultimately won because of this and Murphy's inability to win headers despite being the biggest player on the pitch
