Goals since Moore joined Ipswich: Moore: 7 Che Adams: 9 We didnt need Kieffer Moore.

I'm also in the camp that if we had actually taken more of the huge amount of good chances we create then we could have overcome our goals against tally - especially considering that we have conceded heavily in a few games which skews it a little. Of the frustrating games we have lost or drawn e.g at home to Rotherham, Millwall, Middlesbrough and away to Hudds, Watford, Norwich, Ipswich, Cardiff we should certainly have scored more to put these games to bed. These ones hurt more than the ones we have been well beaten in because we easily did enough to win all 8 of these quite comfortably and yet didnt.

Irony being that, including the OP and many others on here, most of the bigger Martin critics I know are actually older rather than younger.

Make your mind up lads. I thought it was essential to have a manager who is experienced and has won promotion from the Championship and/or managed at PL level? (Rohl definitely done well at Sheff Wed - playing style is similar to what we have totally moved away from though)

Very annoying. Looking v likely it will be Norwich for us, would miles prefer WBA.

Yeah losing Adams on a free and not getting promoted would be a less than ideal scenario as would cost to replace him, although I do think Stewart was signed with that in mind. Also considering we will need to replace the loan signings that are key players plus signing a first choice GK which probably wasnt planned before GB's injury. Big summer ahead, with no DoF in place and a rookie CEO.

He isnt a defensive coach.

Cedric available on a free this summer. Knows the club and has nice trainers.

After tonight he will be starting the remaining games of the season. Be interesting to see in what position.

With the notable caveat that Martin managed them during the period where their parachute payments were cut and then ended. Cooper has had a mixed bag of a managerial career so far, comes across a bit dour to me. Obviously did well to get Forest up but they lacked any real style of play in the PL and he chopped and changed every week (albeit not helped by having a squad of 60). One thing for sure, if they did sack RM after delivering pretty much 2pts/game then the next guy would need to make a hell of a start. Personally think the last thing we need is more change (plus the costs that entails) and certainly no guarentee anyone else would come in and do better. Change again to a third manager and new style of play in November if we are in the playoff positions and on 1.7pts/game?!

Of the top 3 I would fancy us to beat Ipswich more than the other two.

Hopefully we face WBA rather than Norwich. WBA fixtures fairly kind so hopefully they hold onto 5th ahead of Norwich.

Seeing as Leicester and Leeds were better than us last season (and Leicester for about 5 years before that too, plus not complying with FFP) why should we certainly have been ahead of them? We have been in the mix for promotion for the whole season, and will likely end up with a points tally that would ordinarily get automatic promotion. I think at the start of the season 99% would have taken that outcome for this experiment (whatever that means!)

Failure to kill them off cost us everything. Quite clearly.
