I agree on the left sided players. I actually don't mind re-signing Obita, but I prefer him further forward. He has cultivated a wicked delivery and interacts so well with GMac. But we need a sterling defensive LB.
Footwear has been an issue hasn't it. Our players are slipping all over the place and that certainly contributed to the 2nd goal.
Would happily take the 2 goal defeat at the moment, which is a bit sad! There's not really any options for us to change things. Would be good to see Gape get a few minutes and build up some fitness. That's pretty much the best we can realistically hope for!
It'll be interesting if our approach is along the lines of believing the squad we have already is good enough for the playoffs next year, just that we had bad luck with injuries etc.
Or whether we feel we need that couple of stand out game changers to push us up a gear.
Still to play for this season just....
Steal a goal back somehow, and Ipswich will get nervous....
Wow! When @DevinesWanderers80 is criticising the team and manager (present and past) of the team he 'supports' during a game we are losing you know we're in trouble. Good point for Luton today.
When we have the ball Ipswich press like crazy and give us no time, when they have the ball in their own half we stand off and let them plan their through balls…step up and hassle them!
I did think we would lose this one but hard to see us getting in their half never mind a consolation. On this showing if I was Sheffield Wednesday or Plymouth I would be more worried than us.
Sometimes you just have to say man for man you are beaten by a better team. What used to bridge that gap for us was a sense of self belief. That’s not something you build back in 5 mins
Seen nothing from Blooms yet that shows he's capable of setting a team up defensively. Admittedly it's being shown up more dramatically today as this lot are arguably the best team in the league.
He’s been dealt a rough hand with injuries. I said earlier in the season just how underrated McCleary has been in defensive phases of play. Sums it up since he’s been out we’ve been horrific defensively.

It needed the perfect defensive display and stealing a goal from a set piece or a breakaway.
So disappointing to lose a goal from a set piece, you'd think we'd be brilliant at those with 2 supreme aerial strength centre backs, Wheeler etc.
Worst case scenario at half time then, us losing, and all the rivals winning, 5 points off the playoffs.
Can only improve from here relatively speaking!

Anyway, early goal and you never know.

How do you put someone on ignore?
Easier not to see his posts than to respond.
Plymouth doing their annual choke up is always fun, not a completely wasted day hopefully

I will say that in my opinion this is (so far) easily the best display against us this season. Feels like we could play for hours without scoring.
That was poor
P.S. - wrote this BEFORE 0-3.
I think this is going to be 5 or 6
Unfortunately, at the moment, we are just shit.
I think that sun's us up over last 6 weeks I'm afraid. no way will Taf or Max stay with us next season
Ffs.. jj was stood 10 yards behind his man !

This really looks like a last day of the season match between a top team needing a win to go up and a mid-table side with nothing to play for.
JJ had to come off. Was like he was strolling back through treacle there.
Hope all the Freeman fans are pleased. This is exactly why he never starts. Rubbish when the going gets tough.
Even FGR will fancy their chances against us, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they too put 3 past us.
Oh dear more lethargic, shambolic defending, with even Max looking disenchanted, & the Tractor Boys are 3 up now
Click on his name and select ignore from the drop-down menu. Best thing you’ll ever do.
Alternatively, wait until we win some games. He disappears then.

What a dreadful time to be putting Campbell on, in terms of his development. Go out there and just do something I guess?

Did anyone really think we'd make the playoffs?
Always a dream to get back to the Champ and it's finances are vital, but I feel we'd be out of our depth with Blooms their v. quickly.

wheres the pressing and high intensity, under GA it was a given, now we just stand off.
