Wall V Ipswich Match thread

The thing that pisses me of most about tonight lack lustre display was having to sit and listen to their mob taking the piss all night. Felt like an away game. Not many of us there to start with but fuck did it empty at half time.
Bet the ones that did leave were calling for Rowetts head and now what do they think?

More time

How much more time? If he gets any more time we won't be able to get a 'proper' manager with actual experience to be able to turn things around in time.

The issue we have and I foresaw this as I'm sure others did too, is that he came here with zero 'proper' managerial experience. We all 'gave him a chance' but it looks like he can talk the talk but when it comes down to it.... the results speak for themselves.... and don't say it's the players because Rowett has the exact same team other than the ones JE has bought in which is on his head!
 
We have usually started quite well in games this season, but gradually lose momentum, and revert to fire fighting the rest of the time.
Are these periods of high tempo play JE's influence, but our squad can't sustain it for long enough? Or, as a previous poster commented, are we just not comfortable, confident or fit enough to play 90 minutes like this, and lapse into a mixed style of GRs and JEs tactics that just don't work against fast paced Championship teams?
There's no doubt we have some really good players, but turning them into a well oiled machine seems to be the problem at the minute.
 
The problem is if we don’t win Saturday we are if not already in deep shit. Sack Edwards and we will get Barrett until the end of the season don’t think that will end well either.
 
I am absolutely fucking fuming with this now. I honestly hoped someone would have some bollox to run on the pitch and show some emotion to the players and staff. JE after match interview is fucking shocking too. Its YOUR FUCKING TEAM!! AND YOUR SETUP!!! Do one, before a Lomas style run out will happen...
 
Did not want Rowett to leave. Our form in the last 10 games last season was poor but somehow came down to the last game. Last 2 seasons we got Ballard and Cresswell in to bolster our ageing back line. This year nothing and wait until January to get a defensive liability in the Spurs reject. We appoint an untried coach to manage in the 5th/6th biggest league in Europe who has no experience and spouts on re Chelski!
Lose Saturday and he has to go!
Cannot see anything but relegation looming with this inexperienced clown in charge.

I knew we would hear loads of opinions, mainly bad aimed at JE. Results don’t lie, but I believe in my opinion any manager would struggle with these players and these circumstances. If we go down we possibly emulate Ipswich. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards. You don’t build a team in a few weeks, especially if you have inherited someone else’s players who could be considered past their sell by date. Time will tell. Love to see other managers set the world alight with 1 centre forward. Arguably the most unsettled team we have had ever/ for years. My opinion

"Any manager would struggle with these players"

That line only stands up if we ignore the last 3 seasons when we finished top half
 
I honestly didn’t think we’d get a result today but I think we’ll know for certain on Saturday, lose that and I think we’re hoping for other teams to do us favours. That will only end with one eventually.

Joe looked like a condemned man to me before kick off. I get that Hutch is a big loss to our defense, which increasingly looks more shaky. Combined with a lack of goal threat, it seems like a rot and desperation is setting in.

First time ever I've left at half-time having driven two hours to watch whatever you call it.

But we haven’t got time to give him Mark. We have sleepwalked into this mess with a blase attitude of that this season was a ‘free hit’ for Edwards. Nothing in this division is a free hit, you stand still or start experimenting you lose lots of games. We are seriously in trouble right now mate.

See what you’re saying, why don’t we have time mate. I believe until we get a settled team ie same 11 players week in week out it’s gonna be hard. Players need a continuity of having the same players around em. Injuries, illness and suspensions are really hindering that situation. As a new untried manager JE has really had zero help or luck. We might have to go down to rebuild. Tonight we missed some chances, not clinical, then made defending mistakes then clinically punished. I believe we have too many older slow limited ability players. JE can’t be blamed for acquiring them. He’s got to build and educate. Just my opinion.
