*~*~* Ipswich v Sunderland match thread *~*~*


I said I’d judge Beale on what I see not some pre determined judgment. I think he made us worse as the game went on.

Jobe wasn’t dreadful but why did we need a 9 on at Rotherham and not today. That was winnable. Rusyn for Pritch ? Really? Whatever is going on with Jobe isn’t right. He’s a good enough player in his right place but isn’t as good an 8 as the one there now and not as good a 10 as Pritch.

Adil could have been an inspired substitution if he’d taken his chance but in truth he shouldn’t have been on the field.

My biggest concern. Defensively we looked confused and confusion breeds indecision. That’s not good.

Over to recruitment. Ekwah has some class but we’re still waiting for the cdm Mowbray asked for and we all knew was needed. He makes us vulnerable there. It won’t work. We have to tighten up that space. It’s not his fault it’s on recruitment. It urgently needs sorting.

The 9 clearly is a joke that needs urgency. I also think the left back position is the same. 2 games in a row we’ve been given a lesson there. Action needed from the club and I need to see a better defence and better choices from Beale.
 
It's not just a few weeks, it's been like this for months!

TM lost us points because teams were 'camping' and we...have no CF!

Amad and JC are the only reason we didnt't get relegated last season, hand on heart.
It might be 3 months that we've been off form. It wasn't TM's fault we had no striker and your last sentence is laughable.
 
There’s a difference about being unhappy and not rating Beale and going on like some posters on here are though?

I am of the same mind that Beale isn’t the man to take us forward but unfortunately I haven’t got a spare £100m to make those decisions.

I’m far from a happy clapper and I vent as much as the next fan but the badge, the shirt deserves my support and each and every player that gives puts in a shift will get the plaudits and my support.

As I said the eagerness to post, highlight and even celebrate our failures is a display of cuntiness of the highest order.

That’s not the SAFC fanbase I know.
very fair comment
 
Not sure what to think to be honest.

Part of me just wants the fans to give Beale a chance and its fair to say that he has no chance with the fans against him from the start.

But at same time he's got to show us something positive.

Personally I still think this current team is found out, confidence is drained going well back into Mowbrays time and it needs some new signings to freshen it up.
