When you compare their squad/budget to others he is doing a brilliant job.

He didn't. Oscar or should I say Jones ****ed up yet again.

They've 'duffed us up' twice this year and neither was a fluke.

Abort, retry, fail
As mentioned by someone/somewhere ( [MENTION=12486]Husty[/MENTION] I think), our languid and ambling style gives the defence of the opposition some breathing space.
We don't have the quality to play with the same mantra as Barcelona. If we go behind, our meandering style allows the backs to re-group.
You ultimately win with pace, in the long run. By the time March and LuaLua were on, they had shut down and sat on their three points.
That said, Oscar has carried on our club vision and he has an opportunity to get the right players in for his system this summer.

Well drilled defence and off side trap. It was like playing in the 90s.

If was a solid away performance. We had chances but did not take them simple. They had 2 and scored 2. We were the better side in the game. However for a team spending no money as such on transfers he has them working hard and organised.

J'les aurai!
remember where Ipswich were when he took the job
he knows the game
he knows the game
2 very average teams and performances today. Could have gone either way, and despite their defence having giants we could and should have had a few headed goals and Lingard should have buried the chance when clean through. With both teams being so drab, it was always going to be whoever scores first gets a result and so it proved to be.

You won't get many people on here giving credit to an old dinosaur like McCarthy, even though he has been there, done it and got the t-shirt. We are so predictable it's unbelievable. Unless we get the early goal we are stuffed, we are talior made for team's managed by serial losers like McCarthy.

Wouldnt say he is a "quality" manager, but a decent one nonetheless. Ipswich are about where I expected anyway.
Unless we get an early goal? WHERE THE **** HAVE YOU BEEN THIS SEASON?

Sorry, do we not struggle at home unless we get a first half goal and take the lead, or have I missed something
Of course this does not apply to every game, but a good 80% of home games I would say.....where have you been

You only see him when we lose.
Did a good job on us plus he had a bit of luck as he caught us on an off day. Loved his post match comment about "Palace reject". Shows he knows what's going on. He is a wily old bird.

I don't have exact stats, but I'm pretty sure 70%+ of our goals have been during the second half...
