Post Match Ipswich 1 Leicester 1

[Brown Nose]

Bizarrely, we might be better off with Southampton beating Everton.

Will eagerly watch Wolves and hope that they don't now kick on as I suspect that they will.

We absolutely couldn't afford to lose today.

Objectively, we didn't deserve to win or lose so it was a fair result. Nice to be the ones getting the late equaliser after those ****s did it to us twice last year.

The performances were largely poor. The management was largely poor.

I really don't know.

Delighted with another late goal.

Still, I’m fullllllly Cooper out now. I think he’s dense.

I think that's the problem. He's just not very bright hence he doesn't learn anything fast enough. How long did it take us to actually change the approach today?

If I cut a hole in a box and put an apple in it, I could ask him to reach in and grab the apple and he'd have a box stuck to his hand for eternity.

He was also possibly the only one of our players to win a header all game.

I hate to be this way after what was a pretty exhilarating late goal.

But I just find us a difficult watch, and I’m convinced we could get more out of this group.

 

[H T B]

He looked slimmer, faster and more switched on today.
A few more cameo performances like today, then a start or 2, we may, just may , be getting the player that we thought we was getting.

His part in our equaliser was nothing short of brilliant.

[Is his contract up soon?]

 

[londonfox]

The euphoria of a late goal is great. Not losing is great. There were so many negatives to take from that game. Poor performance all around.

You got that idea from something homer does didn't you?

Of the Premier league games so far, only away team to get at least a point today.

If ever a game summed us up.

The stats actually read reasonably well after full time. BUT obviously you have to ignore most of what happened after the red card.

Up until then, despite playing an attacking formation with 2 wingers, Buenanotte as a 10 & attacking full backs we created almost nothing. Ipswich had twice as many shots as us from pretty much bang on 50/50 possession.
We can pretty much add on another jammy point to go with the others we've blagged so far. & Ipswich are shit lets not forget.
With everyone having played 10 games after monday night we now know where we stand. Nobody above West Ham is going to have any relegation concerns so we're in a 7 team fight to survive.

Everton always manage to do enough so it's effectively 6. We've got a 50% chance of staying up. Saints winning & us & Ipswich drawing, coupled with Palace beating Spurs last week & whatever they do against Wolves tonight means the arse end has got more compacted than it was a fortnight ago.

My own opinion is that we're about the same standard as Ipswich & a bit better than Saints. Wolves have been probably as unlucky as we've been the opposite. That'll probably level out.

We'll finish either 17th or 18th would be my guess. Fingers crossed.

We need to strengthen in January...or Saints need to keep Martin. Preferably both.

Wake me in May. I don't think I can handle it.

Fantastic. So powerful.

[Miles Away]

Top notch from Vards.

So we were convincingly the better team.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

I'm guessing that's the Soumare we actually thought we'd bought originally.

 

[Brown Nose]

So we were convincingly the better team.

For the first and last ten minutes we were. For the rest of the game, we were terrible. Stats need to be looked at in context. The sending off changed the game.

 

[H T B]

It’s okay slagging off our own team, but how many saves did Mads have to make compared to their keeper?
They were the home team.
Phillips was fortunate not to be sent off for the first challenge.

SC subs helped make a difference, again.

Thought KM played well when he came on as well.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

So we were convincingly the better team.

Not even remotely. The stats skewed massively in our favour after the red card. As you'd expect. We were dogshit before that.
