Just over 48 hours before we meet our rivals Ipswich Town and yet no news if the match is to proceed. I assume that it will, considering that the players have rested and there can be seemingly no reason for it not to.
I'm sure fans are dubious about purchasing tickets, if it costs you on a premium phone line for a refund.
Parky's gone, but it was another smoke screen for the administrators and FV to hide behind too. Still no word on the "imminent sale" of the club, nor the hotel.
How soon is now?... Better call in The Smiths.
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own...

"I was looking for Parky to lose his job and then he left his job and heaven knows im miserable now"
(I feel a bit embarassed at thinking the lyrocs to HSIN was "I'm the sun...and the earth")

Its hard to see anything other than a defeat today.
All I hope for is some of the spirit that was in the Coventry game and that we do not suffer a humiliating scoreline.
It’s interesting with the Bury situation in that they will probably come out of this chaos better than us points wise. We play on with the kids and get 1 point from 4 games probably before we can get any experienced heads into the squad where they can have experience in their side from match 1.
Anyway looking forward to the match – hopefully a decent crowd and fingers crossed.
0-3 I'm afraid but still things to cheer.

It will be a very tough season for these youngsters but I do believe they will become stronger and maybe better players for the experience they are now getting. We badly need a striker and possibly put the young goalkeeper in today. It will be another loss but hopefully not by a lot 1-3 COYWM

Sorry 0-5 this is not football or even funny anymore Keeping up The Smiths theme, not sure intended? IF and when we go down it wont be on goal difference. Does not make a jot of difference. They dont need 1 or 2 players they need 16-20. I'm wondering if this takeover is a case of Ken wants whatever we offer + £1. No matter what we offer

COYWM Perhaps they've had enough chip, perhaps, but what I've read about the postponed Doncaster game, they had to pay thro' a premium phone line to get a refund. Then, there wasn't much in the BN on the sale of tickets either, or whether the match was definitely on. Too bad it's got to this really, 'cos I miss the post match reports from AndyL, davidm and so on. Yourself too chip. Did you go?

I was there and unfortunately we played like a Parky side, give or take a few nervous moments and misplaced passed that should have led to openings. As I saw it captain Lowe was the prime cause of us shipping 5. Asked to look after Zouma at the back, he left him out to dry and on his own many times as Ipswich slotted through ball after throughball ito our penalty area particularly in the second half. Our lads were'nt helped by a pernickety referee who gave a strange first half penalty , which seemed undeserved, along with some one-sided decisions against them. I cxannot understand why the waiting Jack Hobbs hasn't been allowed to play,as Zouma is looking lost without his colleage Edwards at the back. And whowever is in charge in future, please ensure that Lowe has to scrap for a place, without bestowing the honour of captaincy on him .

It’s hard to think what to say about that.
Men against boys.
Totally outclassed.
Tremendous effort from our boys but short on strength.
Some basic mistakes which cost us whereas in an U18 match they would have got away with them.
Defensively, too slow to react to bouncing balls - Lowe gave no help at all to the other defenders Midfield overrun - again critical of senior player Murphy. This meant balls from the back were hoofed too often because there was no one to pass to. Attack - tried hard but we'll never score.
This situation cannot go on much longer. You can see the confidence draining out of the team as the opposition just toy with us. It is also basically unfair to the other teams in the league to gift points to Ipswich, Tranmere etc when, hopefully, when we get players in we will be difficult to beat.
Realistically, it could easily have been 7, 8 or 9. Norwood could have scored 4 in the first half and it was only because Ipswich players started swanning around trying to score wonder goals towards the last 15 minutes that it wasn’t a bigger score.
Summary of the match is like others. We held them for 15 minutes, then some basic miskicking in our area led to the ball hitting Brockbank’s hand. An unlucky penalty but we were punished. Someone please tell me why Brockbank was booked. It certainly wasn’t deliberate handball.
We had one wonderful chance before half time when the ball bounced well for King-Harmes and he had Weir totally unmarked in front of goal to his left. A simple pass would have given us a great chance but he shot instead.
1-0 at half time was OK but only thanks to a couple of excellent saves from Matthews.
Second half, Zouma got in a terrible tangle, Matthews rescued us but the loose ball ran to an Ipswich player who scored. We were slow to respond to loose balls.
Again, hesitancy in our defence left to the ball being headed forward to 2 players who looked clear (offside?), they hit the post but then rolled the ball along the goal line for a tap in.
Lowe got in a terrible tangle and let Norwood in to score no 4 and a long ball into the box bounced all over the show for Jackson to score easily.
We must continue to support these young lads – they do give their all – but conceding 5 every match is soul destroying. Look at the attendance today. People will stay away unless something occurs soon.
Marks (probably give them all an additional 2 for sheer effort):-
Matthews - 8 Three or four good saves
Brockbank - 5 Unlucky on the penalty but got caught a few times
Lowe - 5 Not a centre half. Caught terribly for goal 4
Zouma - 6 Got caught a few times but strong
White - 5 Again, got caught in possession a number of times
Graham - 4 His total miskick led to the penalty
Murphy - 4 Very disappointing. I realise that playing with young lads around you is hard but his passing was awful. He should have organised the midfield but we were outclassed badly in there
King-Harmes - 5 Tried really hard. Wasted our best chance
Weir - 4 Took every dead ball and unfortunately did nothing with them
Darcy - 4 I was hoping for something from him but he was totally anonymous
Brown-Sterling - 6 Worked his socks off. Out muscled often but kept trying
Boon - 5 Looks to have class but, as with all the others, needs experience
Hurford Lockett - 4 Came on at half time but couldn’t affect the game
Brown - 4 10 minutes run around
These marks may look harsh – I did suggest adding 2 for effort – but we were completely outclassed.
