He's not fit to lace Perraud's boots.

Some excellent points here.

It was marginally better but let's be honest Ipswich should have been 3-0 up at half-time. They let us off the hook.

Stuart Armstrong and KWP were the only two who looked like half decent footballers. I blame that largely on the set up and coaching because players are being made to look bad because of the system.

The best football we've seen has always been when we have an ultra fit team and press hard high up the pitch. To me that is the way we should be aiming to go. RM and his possession football is a complete waste of time and has zero chance of working.

The only tactical switch RM made was to cut out most of the inverted full backs nonsense. Sadly it didn't help him send out a side with any real shape, cohesion or sign that they knew and believed in what they were doing. I'm afraid as others have said RM is out of his depth and we've yet again made a complete mess of selecting an intelligent manager. Those expecting things to improve under his leadership are in for a disappointment from everything that I'm seeing and hearing.

It won't.

You make a very fair point. We were without shape or idea from start to finish. I'm not sure what RM and his coaches do on the training ground but whatever it is they need to be doing something different. We hardly troubled Ipswich who weren't any great shakes themselves.

Mid table is being generous from what I'm seeing.

RM hasn't got a frigging clue.

Half hearted.

Is it me or do our players only look half interested?

Adams misses his customary sitter,

Should be 3-0 if they could finish. They might not be so wasteful in the second half. Bring on Bednarek, move Charles into midfield and let's have a go at them. They are nothing special which makes it even more worrying at how poor we are.

Very very very poor.

Midfield not getting into space when our centre backs have it - HB is clearly pissed off.

Should be 3-0 now.

RM clearly trying to tighten up - the inverted fullback nonsense seems to have gone. However, we have no clue going forward so far.

Trying to give them another gift.

We are devoid of ideas.

Their keeper is rather underemployed.

Yet another gift goal.

Charlie Chaplin to score a hat-trick?

If that is a live picture on Sky there look to be loads of empty seats.

There's method in the madness - put out a weak side then nobody can point the finger if they lose because RM can just say his hands were tied and he had nothing more to pick from 🙂
