I don’t know if there is an issue or not but in his present state he is slowing us down so much that he has become a passenger I am afraid

From what has been said on here I was expecting to be cringing every time the ball went near Glover but quite the opposite, his positioning was very good and his distribution 100%, well played Tom👏👏

Great win and a very good performance with lots of movement and covering, but dear me if only we had somebody who could put the ball in the net

I agree BD very strange, it was not even a foul but if the referee saw it as much then the guy should have been off, I think he just bottled it

WBA are a well coached team who are trying to smother us with their pressing but so far we have held up well and we seem to have a lot more movement upfront than the last few games. I just wish we could win a 50-50 ball in the middle of the park we just seem to bounce off their players or not bother to try and win the challenge

Port Vale never laid a finger on us once the first goal went in there was a gulf in class between the two teams which showed in nearly every position. I am worried now that it is our turn in the barrel against whoever we play in the SF.

Love that Matt Crooks guy ❤️❤️😆😆😆

What does Carrick see in Crooks that we don’t we would actually be better off playing with ten men at least he wouldn’t get in the way

The lack of movement by our midfield to create space when we are in possession is shocking, Howsonand Crooks just plodding around or having a nice rest

Lovely play from Silvera looked up measured his pass and Rogers so clinical

How about we end the stupid international breaks for Championship clubs that would spread the games out more

I have just seen the team and have decided it is preferable to take the wife Xmas shopping and that frankly is pretty sad on my behalf but my enthusiasm for watching has just evaporated

I am unsure what you are advocating NB, we have no quality players on the bench, so we do what, nothing and just let the original 11 carry on regardless of the way they are playing

And there is the second, what a difference bringing on fresh legs and pace makes. Hang your head in shame Carrick

And there we are exactly as I predicted I give up

Please please please do something Carrick we are down to walking pace, some of our players look like they are out walking the dog. We know the script by now Hull make the changes and equalise grrrhhh

We just lack a touch of class in the final third, no composure and then panic sets in. We really should have more than one goal and I fear it is going to cost us as our passing in the last twenty minutes has been pretty poor and we have lost the initiative. Carrick really needs the balls now to take off the non performing players and take this match by the scruff of the neck again

Remember the comments in the last match that Crooks can only play when he has Jones with him, well somebody should tell him he is playing because he has been awful so far

Glad to see they have given Matt Clarke a rest for this one, two intense games in quick succession were looking too much for him and a third might have put him back on the sick list.

Have another glass of wine DS it’s only football

What I am trying to say is that Carrick has had a virtually impossible task this season, so many untried and untested players to bed in from match one followed by an injury list that beggars belief. Sometimes you just have to accept that it takes time to build a successful team, shrug your shoulders and move on

Ipswich are a good well organised side but even with our injuries I think this defeat is down to the coaching staff and the tactics today. Perhaps we should all just accept that this is a season of transition and bedding down and move on, this side is not good enough for the play offs

Matt Clarke is now breathing out of his ***

No more than we deserve frankly game over

Crooks needs to be replaced he is having an absolute mare out there
