Promotion would be a nice culmination of this year's work. But we're too frail to survive in the Premier League. We need people who have more bottle and guile (starting with the manager).

The Swansea fans told us before a ball was kicked that Russell Martin was utterly useless and so it has been proven.

Generally acknowledged that our squad is the best and certainly the most expensive in the Championship yet we’ve dropped fourteen out of the last twenty four points available.

Fault lies squarely with the manager who has proven beyond all doubt that he is completely out of his depth. Tippy Tappy football with no plan B, ridiculous constant tinkering with the team selections and unfathomable substitutions have cost us automatic promotion. I’ve no doubt whatever that he will cost us the playoffs as well

Ipswich believe in attacking football, we don't.
Until we change this slow build up bollocks we're going nowhere.

Have no idea what Jack Stephens' role was tonight. He didn't appear to have a position, popping up absolutely everywhere with little effect most of the time which just meant we were short defensively when possession was lost.

Completely baffled why we didn't have a left back all game and we also went without a right back for the last 12 minutes whilst KWP and Manning sat on the bench.

Can't see us going up via playoffs if Leicester are in them too.

RM must think this is figure skating or ski jumping where you get extra points for artistic interpretation or technical merit or whatever. Yes we looked good for most of the match, got two good goals but that means nothing.

The words frail and brittle used by other posters say it perfectly. We leave ourselves too open at the back and when the crisis comes we simply fail to defend. Do they not discuss basic marking on the training field?

One of the reasons that we are able to look good is that we send too many people up the pitch. Even mediocre opposition knows that there will be oceans of space where out full-backs should be and looking at the table I would say that Ipswich are not mediocre.

Oh and a goalie who is always half a second too slow moving sideways doesn't help...

3.7 is very generous for the hapless Bazunu. He was the difference between the two teams. With an average Championship goalkeeper instead of Bazunu, who the stats show is the worst in the league by a country mile, we'd have won this game.
