Positives from tonight

[Sheebo]

Well there are so many... I'll start with a couple of negatives:

Poor finishing cost us
We are too vulnerable & over exposed at the back - particularly down the wings if the midfielders don't go wide to cover defensively...


Positives...
We created more than them and they're a c good team. We went away & created plenty of chances. Id actually say we were the better team I honestly would! CMS & Baldock looked v good running the channels. Baldock's pace was surprising, altho he did take a poor touch to cause their first goal. Some of our passing moves are exceptional - the movement is the best it's been since the Amex era IMO.

Holla is a brilliant find & I can wait to see him Crofts & Stephens in the middle. Bruno and Benno actually did well considering how exposed they both were at times. All in all there's a lot of positives to take again here!

Sorry for the note form thread - I appreciate not everyone will agree with every point but I really feel we played well tonight away from home!

Agree with the positives - we need to take our chances and not give away simple goals - easy as that. Sadly giving away goals has become something of a habit this season.

Loads of shots

We looked like a shambles at the back against a poor Ipswich side.

Only positives are Danny holla, and the fact that no one was injured.

 

[Insel affe]

I had £20 on Bolton, Reading and Ipswich £170 and change back....

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

We played most of the game a good tempo - far quicker than anything last year.

 

[portslade seagull]

We created but did not score,you can create many chances but that is no good if they are not converted. Other teams seem to convert there's ok

 

[Rookie]

Holla is a brilliant find & I can wait to see him Crofts & Stephens in the middle.

The problem is one of them will be covering left back while the other covers right back leaving the third over run in the middle.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

We were quick going forward at times, and it clearly demonstrated how poor CMS is.

 

[Biscuit]

We could have edged it all the way up to 60 minutes. Then we made a tactical error. Hopefully we'll learn and move on.

It doesnt matter how many positives you ever find these two negatives will mean you don't win football matches!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Positives from tonight - tonight we are complicit in continuing to propagate the number one myth in football - that Mick McCarthy is a competent football manager, and that is very depressing. The less said about Judas Terry Connor the better!

That's a very good point Dan - and one Hyypia & Jones will be well aware of. I think we were particularly unlucky tonight but do need to tighten up at the back. The result won't cloud my view of the performance though, which I thought was v good (on the stream...)

Thats because we have Stockdale in goal!

 

[Stat Brother]

It wasn't a really boring and tedious 0-1 victory.

I had a fiver on the East Anglia double

 

[Doc Lynam]

I can see Ince establishing himself as a starter under Sami.

 

[Skaville]

I thought Rohan Ince and Holla played well. Holla and Dunk close again from a corner. Quite how nobody has stopped JFC from EVER taking a corner again is beyond me.

It was an exciting 2-0 defeat !

Last season it was a tedious and boring 2-0 defeat. So your point is?
