They still have to play Derby, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth and Bolton at home.

There will be some serious WTF is this?  amongst the away fans.

Missed the game.    Spent most of the evening in bed with a cold / virus, (and) getting well again is paramount over a game of football, but taking reaction from our own fanbase on the game just passed, it makes for some grim reading.     By all accounts we were shit, I mean, drastically awful and totally ineffective, although the BBC website would beg to differ by implying that (we played well at times and created chances etc).     Not saying they're wrong but I'm prepared to side with my our fans version of events, and the general consensus being it was absolutely dire from us - and them, actually - and any chance of promotion from League One, is in reality, getting shorter by the week.      It was rubbish essentially, both Town and Rovers.     Both as bad as each other. 

Maybe I'm not 100 per cent on the accuracy of it all but it was basically the very definition of a contest where gate-paying attendees should be entitled to a refund, no questions asked.     If you look on our Tractor Boys website, there's a 6 page thread indulging tonight's contest and the comments - while some seem exaggerated even from a Town fan's perspective - are heartfelt and the issue of growing animosity / confusion (towards McKenna) as manager are clear.    Personally I think he's done wonders for us, but you'd have to see the games and follow week in week out like myself to properly understand it's not as clear cut as that.   

It's a shame, thought we'd win tonight.     Got up for some water / aspirin and (had to) see what imagined to be a victory and get reading some reaction that I've seen all too many times before.      We dropped two points tonight that's the way I see it.   All right, even Bristol Rovers are there to be beaten but it's like we didn't really try to take a victory from it.     Hate to say it, but I think McKenna would view a  0 - 0   draw over there against that lot as a very good result and 'at least we didn't lose', you know, that level of philosophy.       We've had managers like that before, and right now, in a promotion chasing venture, it's not really the ideology you need to progress.  

(If you look on the aforementioned TB. forum), Some fans are asking for his resignation or someone else to take over at Town.      That would have been insane or utterly ludicrous only a few weeks ago, maybe months back, but after tonight, got round to thinking they just may be on to something.    Tried posting this a moment ago, got logged-out for some reason, so hopefully, this time it goes through.   

Sorry Southend, you've been told a porkie.

Here's what one of theirs thinks;

Last nights game was one of the most entertaining 0-0 draws I have seen for a long time, Ipswich are possibly the best Side (with the exception of us) I have see down the Mem this season, we coped well with their speed and pace, draw was a fair result but we were a bit unlucky in the second half and probably did enough to get a win.

Do they confiscate the bottles of p!ss from Cardiff fans?

I would guess less than 7,000 sags is more likely to be the actual figure.

Probably about 7,050 by the time you add on Bob's mates through the disabled gate for a tenner.

He’s really dying on that GK hill. Bellshaw was apparently one of the best keeper outside of the prem last year for him, now being thrown under the bus before games he’s not even in the squad for!

Belshaw has thrown a wobbler and been dropped from the squad.

Trouble in camp?

They’ll still have 20,000 locked out …

Chasers haven't had 20,000 locked out since the Dean Windass celebrity pie eating contest

This is actually the last league game of the season to be played under the lights at home believe it or not.  After that just the Man City game and if we get a home draw after that which may get played in the evening.

Home leg of the play-offs?

Yes, but he'll be looting the dressing rooms. I'm hoping for a couple of nice watches. 

Nice watch available over at the Mem

Low crowd tonight cos they're all taking their sisters up Chasers innit 

TTO (The Trusted One, another of his aliases) was the one single reason why I left the highly amusing Ziderheads forum many years ago
