floyd__streete Came away feeling utterly underwhelmed again. Two teams who showed exactly why they are down at the bottom of the table, the only difference between the sides as far as I am concerned being that Ipswich have superior forwards to count on and therefore presumably the better chance of escaping relegation.
The first half performance was nothing short of pitiful. An improvement after the break, but only the blind and stupid could say they are enjoying the football under Rodgers; today for the most part it was all about the long ball lumped forward to Rasiak. Curious substitutions again today and I have to say I have less faith in Alex Pearce's abilities every time I see him play.

Ian Royal Got to watch quite a lot of the game streaming on the net. We lucked much improved from when I've seen us, but much like Leicester just couldn't finish it.
Stonewall penalty on Long second half, but that seemed to be the only thing he contributed. We really need another striker. Pleased for Church. Kebe looked dangerous once again when he came on.
Ivar looked to be at fault for the goal for me, but then I'm sure many will call me biased against him. I'm willing to admit he hasn't impressed me for quite a while now.
Bertrand seemed improved going forward from recent matches.
The performances seem to continue to be improved, I think Rodgers gets another stay of execution. As long as the performances stay decent he gets 'til mid december for me. Start pulling in a few more points and I'd be happy to give him the season.
Oh, Marek struggled because Ipswich had so many bodies back. A less good game for him. Gave the ball away cheaply too often again.

I would like to see some official stats on pass completion rate (and number of passes made). I reckon they would show Marek is nowhere near our worst offender when it comes to giving possession away. On several occasions today he completed passes that he had little right to. One in particular springs to mind in the second half when he himself was set up with a hospital pass but somehow got to the ball first and in one movement flicked it over the opponent's challenge and straight out to Kebe's feet some thirty yards away on the wing.
A guy behind me also made a very valid point. Marek always puts in a challenge for the ball, even if he doesn't have that much chance of winning it (particularly in the air) and the very act of going for a challenge often leads to his opponent making a mistake and losing possession.

The Ipswich goal was a result of rubbish defending (Tabb's poor clearance?), but we're paying a heavy price for a squad lacking goalscorers. Whoever is in charge come January needs to be backed to bring someone in.

Terminal Boardom I can't fault the endeavour or effort but the bottom line is that we are, simply, not good enough.

He reminds me of when you watch Rugby Union players trying to play league - it just looks wrong
He is not a footballer

Well NOT a footballer is a bit strong but am not a fan. Slow of body and mind.
Loved his mickick on the touchline against Cardiff
