I know people don't like these sort of posts, but I'm fuming after getting back from one of the most depressing displays I have ever seen. I haven't read other posts so I'm sure there are other posts of similar nature.
The players simply had no desire to win today against a below average side. They looked like schoolboys playing men. They are supposed to be professional footballers and are paid thousands of pounds a week to play, yet they can't be asked to even try. What a joke!
The first problem is clear there simply isn't enough desire to win, the second problem is movement. There is no movement. Fit professional football players should not be standing still all the time. FFS this is basic schoolboy stuff. You have to move to create to space. Ipswich are not great but at least there players moved and tried! Perhaps that's why they scored three goals.
The defense conceded it's customary three goals, including one just after the break as per usual. Still asleep after half time were you lads?
The midfield was a non exsistant joke. Mayer simply can't run and was beaten way too easily for my liking. Worse still when he got beat he gave it up. When Ipswich broke away for their 3rd goal, the midfield should have been busting a gut to get back and help, they were trotting back.
Guttridge - couldn't run or pass in his best dream. Can he pleased be replaced with one of those plastic players that they use to practice free kicks. At least you can play a one two wall pass with them and the opposition would probably find it harder to get past. Run Luke, run. Learn to use the power of your leg muscles!
The only player who could at least be credited with trying was Simon Francis, at least he tried and had desire to win. Poor old Simon was a right back, then a right midfield and suddenly a centre foward after some bizzare changes by Tilson. Perhaps it was damage limitation not to get beat by 5 or perhaps Tilson just wanted to see how many players he could play out of position in one game! Despite all that Francis got a well deserved goal, the other players should take note, that if try and you run you might just score!
Paynter also tried when he came on to his credit. He had little impact but the at least the effort was there unlike many.
Anyway I've had enough now.If I performed as badly in my job then I would be sacked. Can somebody please give the players a massive kick up the backside. Personally I wouldn't pay them if they performed like that again. I've always found money a great motivator, but I'm sure others would disagree.
Here's hoping that I never have to pay £20 to see such a shambles again and let's pray for miracle, because that's what we need to stay up.
