Have to admit that it's a slightly depressing to reflect on - seems that yet another team promoted from L1 have overtaken us.

They overtaken everyone in the league apart from one. Don't wet the bed just yet.

I think that was fine tbh. We’ve had chances. Even with one or two more senior players fit to start, this would be a different game. Issue is the squad is so depleted we can’t do too much to change this. 

Agree with this, we’ve done alright just a bit sloppy for the goal - and poor goalkeeping

Better head coach for a start . The difference on the pitch is plain to see - full credit to McKenna (thing that’s his name). Pearson has done a relatively ok job - but this mindset from some that he is the best we can do is very shortsighted 

And let’s not forget they have an owner who is backing is horse 

Ipswich have always been a tidy club, they just had a wobble for a few years.  
 

You state with confidence that he’s a better coach, yet you aren’t sure of his actual name

Max definitely should have done better but I'd be far more worried about the defending personally. From that position and with the movement of our players we should never have let that shot get away.

[BCFC Rich]

For overall for me, we weren't too bad. Defense + Max should have done better with their goal - should have been closed down and having got the shot away Max should save that. We've had some good chances and held our own. We do look like a side who have 5 defenders out injured at times, but I think most teams would struggle to deal with that situation.

From their forum; 

Nice hit. Bristol attacking probably suits us. We can just pick them off at will Although I do worry a bit about our ability to keep them out.

It's OK. Few individual errors creeping in. Chappers at the moment not having much luck. Jackson ok but needs to kick and run a bit imo.

Feel like there's a goal for the taking every time we're in their area.

There was dip on that Broadhead goal. Looked like a bit of a howler from the keeper, but that dip would have caught out more than a few Championship keepers

[MelksRed]

Great save from Max!

[MelksRed]

Good clearance from Max....although my heart rate is bordering on tachycardia!

[Fordy62]

Good clearance? Hmmm, I’d have to see it again. 

[The Gasbuster]

Max Schumaccher

[Ecko]

Sad to say, but Weimann looks finished. Injuries have caught up with him. 

[Lanterne Rouge]

If that had gone in we might as well give up and go home.

I think you just have to look at what they did last year, and continue to do this year 

Then look at the fact they look far superior to us tonight 

Not rocket science mate

In other news, trying not to wake my little boy up with a huge sneeze, I’ve trying to stifle it, and I’ve just shit my pants.

When you have a makeshift defence having a wobbly keeper behind you does not help in the slightest... A goalkeeper is urgently needed to give competition as there is none at the moment...

They might be makeshift but it would be nice if they were drilled a little better

Bit harsh to say he's finished, has not affected the game at all tonight tho, needs to be subbed.

I`d have gone for the sneeze and taken the consequences

There is a fantastic metaphor for our current situation in there somewhere but I've just finished a four hour drive and don't have the capacity to find it!

[Fordy62]

Got to be Yeboah time. 

[MelksRed]

Not doing the simple things well.....inviting pressure......need a little composure when we get the ball....get it on the deck and use it wisely....little hit and hope at the minute.

Poor lad isn’t well, turns out I think I’m coming down with it too . I might need to sub off, lads (and ladies). 

[Ivorguy]

This is truly ridiculous.  The squad is too small by Championship standards. If Nige is sacked then hello league 1 in short order.

Why are we so badly run as a club.  Two decades of treading water in a city our size is sad and, imo, unnecessary.  New blood and new money required asap

[old_eastender]

Get Yeboah on and Andi off

[Ivorguy]

Is SL there?  If not, shameful; if yes I fear for old Nige

Freekick for us in a dangerous position.....
