Both of these teams are stocked with talent, playing skilful, exciting football which is light years ahead of the shite we've been churning out week after week. Aside from Kieffer Moore and Carvalho, neither side has any particularly 'big names'. I can only conclude that they must have capable people working behind the scenes, who are knowledgeable and able to identify players who will fit into the system and style their manager wants to adopt. Amazing how much of a difference that makes....

When you watch a game like this it just makes you realise how far away we are from being a Championship team. The level of quality in both teams is so far away from us it’s frightening.
I’m also amazed every time I see a midfielder control a ball and then pass it to a team mate. I didn’t think that was allowed.

Tell you what, Ipswich can play football. Far cry from our game where we can’t string 3 passes together.

Two attacking sides at full pelt and no VAR to get in the way .

Pass and move at high speed, with instant control.
We are light years away.

The Kasumu pass straight out of play (aiming for Thomas) was a particular highlight from today. Him and Matos’ second touch is almost always a sliding tackle as the ball bounces yards off them. Hopeless 😂

Nearly all of them have been bang average players and McKenna has somehow got them playing like that. Gives you some hope that a good coach can get this lot playing with confidence and belief. They're not as bad as they've shown us recently, just completely shot of confidence and terrified of making mistakes

Can we let Ipswich beat us 16-0 if they don’t get anything at Cov?

If we bring in just a few players who can keep possession and control the ball to a professional standard during pre-season then I'll be over the moon. That's how poor some of our very motley crew are. In terms of footballing ability we are awful. Only our former manager's motivational and organisational ability kept us up last season. It was nothing to do with the squad's ability suddenly emerging.

After watching them lose to us, how the hell have Millwall gone on to win their 4 next matches?

A brace for Kieran Philips coming on as a sub in Sacramento.
The gazebo end went wild.

Hull with a packed out stadium. Massive turnaround for them in the last 18 months The point has kept them (Hull) in the promotion chase. Might make our chances of winning 15-0 at Ipswich a bit more difficult now, but....

Him and Kasumu in central midfield is painful to watch especially with Pearson et al at the back who can’t pass the ball either.

Agreed.....bit like chalobah did possibly but i see zero quality on the ball at all right now.

Didn't he say he was a player who wanted to dictate games, create and score. A bit of a stopper more like.

After watching them lose to us, how the hell have Millwall gone on to win their 4 next matches? They got a guy on who knew the club, knew most of the players probably and had had success there before. Much like Warnock was for us. He got the players together and got the going probably with some old skool “no one likes us but we don’t care” type siege philosophy. Without being rude most of the players aren’t the brightest. They’ll go along with most positive sensible leadership mantra..if it gets them POINTS. 😀

How has Oliver not given that penalty himself. He's looking straight at it a few yards away. It's a terrible piece of officiating.

Brighton fans want their manager sacked while sat 10th in the Premier League. They don't realise just how good they've had it since we were promoted together
