He has made changes today that have worked - I am far from convinced but a win is a win and stops the downward momentum.

This is a game where result is the most important thing especially when confidence has been low.

Where would we be without Dickie

Swansea there for the taking at the back.

This is awful.

This reminds me of Rooney last game for Brum v us, stopping the rot with an ultra negative display.

Wow nailed on foul on Swansea when threw on goal.

Boos incoming

Playing like the away side shut up shop from the look of it.

A lacklustre start

Our squad depth is too thin, I’m assuming this is down to the board not wanting to give NP cash to spend and Jan being seen as a stop gap until the summer

They’re lower down in the table and closer to the relegation zone - not scoring goals and fans calling for the managers head. So I think you’re way off with this idea that they are in a better spot than under Schumacher. I think along with momentum the Ipswich squad depth has made a huge diffeence - and the willingness to spend on wages.

Don’t think this is the case, you can’t pick and choose….Williams did well at Notts County and had less of a playing career than their new manager - Houllier Moutinho etc, McKenna in the champ.

Neil Harris seems to be the only one, and Millwall fans adamant they don’t want him staying.

I saw an interesting stat where every club in the bottom half of the champ have a different manager compared to the start of the season - with the majority sacked, yet not many clubs have had seen a huge bounce, and the ones who have were starting from such a low point that things couldn’t get much worse, I.e Sheff Wed and QPR. Eustace is very highly rated yet has failed to win any of his first 8 games, Edwards, Beale, Moore and Rooney sacked after not having much time. BCFC and Plymouth fans calling for their managers heads after really poor runs. Birmingham and Stoke seen very little bounce. Swansea seem to be stabilising after a really poor start under their new manager. Why are new managers finding it so difficult this season?

Big game today, let’s be positive please, I fancy us today. If it all goes pear shaped then Manning in trouble but let’s get behind them.

Did a great job at Barnsley - struggled since.

QPR lose Sheff Wed lose Birmingham lose Blackburn/Plymouth take points off each other - couldn’t have gone much better.

Ipswich pushing the boat out when fighting for promotion v Bristol city pushing the boat out for mid table. 30k per week, no thank you.

Very good set of results so far.

So could a million other things - all hypothetical.

Have to laugh.

I’m not trying to be rude but what a pointless thing to say.

Not very inspiring but let’s see how we get on Sunday.

I would have more sympathy for manning if he had some in game management - he really needs to learn this if he is going to be a champ manager
