Out of his depth I'm afraid. He was very defensive and very vague. Question on tinkering with team was a fair one. He answered it unconvincingly and looked rattled. Comment on being "fair to players" was revealing. No way should a Prem League manager care about being fair. He has to make the...

I think tactics are significant up to a point. The real culprit though gas been complacency. It can be traced back to the 2-4 against Fulham. The team discovered it can be turned over. That complacency became negatively, perhaps encouraged by Hughton's tactics but more likely by something going...

Midfield is the major issue. It's very light weight. Yesterday it was bypassed by some horrible lumps up the field to noone in particular. Our midfield play is often scrappy and slow. Worse, it's uncompetitive. I think that's a problem with attitude. When things go wrong you need the midfield...

No, you're not alone. I thought we played well. In fact I was encouraged to see good energy levels last night and some excellent phases of play. If we play like that in every game from now, and cut out the unforced errors, I know we can do it. Ipswich were well organised and tough to break down...

Great report. Summed it up perfectly. It was a night I'll never forget. Thanks
