Another fantastic opportunity to get into the top 6 wasted, another chance to stake our claim as serious playoff candidates wasted and unfortunately with a spineless and nothing performance thrown in for good measure.
To be honest you could feel it from the off, the lack of tempo in our game and that feeling that it just wasn't going to be our day with too many players looking too slow and for some unknown reason just not up for it, i'm sure that wasn't the case but from my seat it looked like a tired group of players today. I cant knock Oscar for his team selection too much, i'm not sure what Stephens did wrong at Bolton to not get himself a start today as he looked good up north but im not the manager and it was more than a poor Andrews that lost us the game.
We can wave possession stats all day long but we just didn't have that edge to our game today and I wish for the life of me Oscar would come out and say we lacked that edge, we looked slow and deserved to lose which for me we did! Ipswich aren't world beaters, they spent most of the game being tidy at the back and hoofing 50 yard balls but in this division you cant have off days and expect not to get punished and our inconsistency will be our downfall as Ipswich were there for the taking.
It's just one of those seasons i'm afraid, were still in the mix of course we are but I HATE HATE HATE seeing my team produce nothing performances with no fight, no battle and no guts and today was one of them i'm afraid.
