reading the match report sounds like we cudda won
but how reliable is it really !?
still 1-1 picking up points away sounds like a step in the right direction

We could've won. Billy Clarke missed a sitter, and that pretty much summed up his game. De Vos and Haynes both had chances too.
QPR had chances too, but they continually wasted them by passing to nobody.
I fail to understand why Jim played 4-5-1, and why Bruce is not playing!
Leggy's goal was sweet though. I almost killed myself celebrating...

Frankly, it was a poor game between two fairly poor sides, both sides will be annoyed they didn't win it, Ipswich maybe JUST shaded it.

I don't know how many times I banged my head on the ledge in front of me to keep myself awake, and to vent my frustrations other than hitting my mate or the man sitting next to me... The programme was handy!  |

A chant from yesterday was; "Peter Grant is a football genius!". It made me giggle.  |

u dont understand y we play 4-5-1 away from home !? its common sense dudette the 3 times we've played 4-5-1 away we've drawn ( plymouth, burnley, qpr ) and taken the lead in all 3 i may add ! we played 4-4-2 at WBA ( 4-0 ) and Hull ( 3-1 ) and Watford ( 2-0 ) depends if u want points,,, or not  ! i know what ur saying, 4-4-2 is cool n we're good at home with it, but away uve got 2 soak up more pressure thrown at u by the opposition..... when we were CLASS in 04-05,,,,,, we could play 4-4-2 at home AND AWAY but at the minute we're not quite good enough to do that in all honesty |

Our mid-field was missing though in the first half and we had 5 in there! It just seems negative, in my opinion. Alright, so we've taken the lead in those games, but then we've conceded. We've thrown away 2 points, not held onto all three. If we want to win away, then we've got to at least risk it, especially against a side like QPR (apologies Nik).
We had chances to win there and with only Lee up front (not a well known quick runner), if we played a ball for him to run onto he wasn't going to get there. Pablo was lazy and slow when he came on, but that was in about the 85th minute. Walters wasn't at his best, and Fabian was erractic as per usual. I really don't know what Bruce has done to be left out, but as far as I'm concerned he and De Vos were doing alright. Wilnis goes in like a mad-man sometimes.

QPR Thoughts- isn't west london skanky
- least we're not brentford

- but we will as tradition dictates, do the double over sheffield united

well dudette 4-5-1 MAY to u look defensive but it just makes us harder to beat away the players obviously aren't comfortable away from home at the minute, Magilton has more or less so. So y 'risk it' when the players currently aren't at home away ! makes no sense, so im 100% with Jim on this at the minute. Id rather us be able 2 play 4-4-2 away AND home ideally but at the minute its fine how it is. and the stats don't lie ! 3 points 4-5-1 0 points 4-4-2 ! |

Well, it may be alright for 1 point, but it just seems we're not desperate for a win! I'd rather have seen us give it a good go [i.e. risk it] (like we did at West Brom, we just couldn't score. We played well the 2nd half but poor defending towards the end of the match let us down), than try to defend the slender lead - as we know it's not going to happen.
Our midfield seemed over-crowded, and Billy Clarke seemed out of position. If we're going to go 4-5-1, why wasn't Jaime Peters picked to play on the wing?

o god its fairly obvious
it wasn't a rigid 4-5-1, u cud say it was 4-3-3 so Clarke / Walters were the obvious choice
Peters isn't likely to go straight into the team when he can't even come on and get minutes under his belt either !!!!!!!
ne way think ur gonna have 2 accept its 4-5-1 away from home and 4-4-2 at home at the minute - it'll change away throughout the season but go 2 home games if u don't wanna moan about the system. Jims doing it for a reason and its working, its a new concept for the team played it twice in a row now and we've done a lot better in both than before. So give it time and it'll improve when the players understand it more !
