Its obvious Top and Rudkin picks the team, style of play and which ever manager is in takes the blame for another loss.

Wes Burns against Luke Thomas. God help us, red card incoming.

How the fvck does Thomas start every game? 
Easily the worst full back in the division. 
Give Aluko a go at left back. 

Not even our worst FB this season, Ricardo is.

What a grim line up. 

 

Never ceases to amaze me looking at what money we've spent/lost to come up with that.

 

So does that mean Vieites is our 4th choice keeper and earning £15k a week? Yet to be seen...

Is there a clause in the manager's contract that they have to be shit? Honestly, I give up.

[mr wright]

If the ipswich manager could pick our starting 11 im pretty sure thats what it would be. Ffs.

[Fazzer 7]

Rowatts trying to send us down with that team. Never seen anything like it wtaf is he thinking. Revised prediction. 4-0 Tractor boys

It's becoming difficult to process. I'm wondering if I have dementia or something. Something isn't right. I'm questioning my own sanity. 

 

We play the same players same formation every single week. And lose every single week. We play players that take no physical part in the game. The only thing that changes is the manager. Who comes in and does exactly the previous manager with exactly the same outcomes.

I feel exactly the same. It's like there's an internal policy to play 4-2-3-1.

 

I don't have an obvious alternative but it's just crazy to me - nobody ever changes anything.

[RoboFox]

We’ve given up, haven’t we?

[Buzzell]

Why the fvck can’t we try something new? Change of formation?

 

Jesus wept.

That is the line up of the grim manager we are now happy with..

I just don't get it, we've seen multiple managers now come in and pick similar if not the same.teams that go on and do sweet F All in matches. Why is Rowett now falling foul of the same?

 

What's frustrating is that we as fans call for changes to be made to selections before KO and in many cases our alternative selections are vindicated when the player actually sets foot on the pitch and makes the difference we hoped for and actually needed from the 'get go'.

 

If we can see it, and see tangible positive outcomes from our positions as "armchair managers"  it beggers the question of 'why the fvcking hell can't the bloke in charge' see it also, expecially after witnessing the better players impact when finally playing, to have a goldfish moment, and revert back to picking the crap again next match.

 

Or is there something in contacts that state someone plays if fit regardless of talent or form.   I doubt it if I'm being honest, but it would at least offer an explanation to questionable selections.

Given how bad Stephy is, I'd think about a Boro style 4222 formation, with Skipp and Winks behind Mukasa and James and then Fatawu playing a more central role up top with Daka, along the lines of how Boro play Morgan Whitaker. The problem is that we don't have full backs with the energy and pace to provide attacking threat out wide, so it probably wouldn't work either!

Same players, same formation, no doubt the same negative tactics.🤬

What's the ****in point. May as well have stuck with Marti and saved the cash.💰

I just look at the team and sigh. What’s the point

[Muzzy_no7]

Speechless 

[lozzyblue fox]

I m going 5-0 Ipswich and that's being a conservative estimate of how many they will score.

[Filbert Fireworks]

Saw the line up and have a twitch in my left eye that won't t go away. 

[DezFox]

Our only positive players this season , both fit, both on bench. **** off rowett.
