We were appalling in that first twenty minutes against Norwich and it all stems from the same problem not having midfielders who compete for the ball and who repeatedly get the wrong side of their man. Hopefully Carrick will have seen what we all saw on Wednesday and has had time to adapt his tactics otherwise I fear the worst today He does need to start showing that he can be tactically adept rather than a predictable one trick pony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More the 3 central defenders we morphed into after the red card with Ayling and Engel getting up and down the flanks. Ayling and Engel can't get up and down the flanks though that's the point. They both run through treacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManBearPig 2,231 4.1k Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 Off topic but I’m surprised we didn’t go for Ike Ugbo on loan. Thought he looked good last night and is in good form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree neither are ideal in that role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Jones on the right but if we can get get 60 minutes from Ayling and then 30 minutes for Dijksteel it should be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaCider24 17,814 22.9k Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 Got to be sickened as an Ipswich fan. Winning until the 94th minute and somehow losing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
