Stat on 17:09 - Apr 10 with 3509 views | judespiveyg | Since all of them are since 2009 under Keane, this just shows we've been in three relegation battles in 10 seasons, 5 if you count 11/12 and 16/17 where we never quite fell into the bottom three as well. Pretty much emphasises how poor we've been the last ten years. | |

The football is much better? How exactly? Better than what exactly? Being better than our worst manager in history who couldn't decide on a formation even for a whole game and who fluked a win at Swansea is hardly a ringing endorsement. | |

There's also the new manager effect twice and fact that attendances are up across the division thanks to the make up of it by about the same amount, but I guess looking at stuff like that is unhelpful. | |

We have a midfield again. Didn't have one at end of Mick's tenure. | | | |

It's a tough one for me, while I hate that we're going down and miss the comforts of 15th greatly, and I'd have still got an ST with MM in charge, some of those Tuesday night games last couple of seasons with sub-10000 and zero noise with very little football being played were a little tiresome and repetitive, in comparison the crowds and atmosphere have been fantastic all season and the football is actually watchable even if we've been dire pretty much all season. I actually don't know which I'd pick. | |

Right. But that's your measure? Not scoring goals, defending, winning games, etc. | |

Except we've had that as recently as Hull, throughout the last few weeks of Hurst etc it's not as if the end of Mick's time was down to him. We've got the noise back because of things like Blue Action and people realising how good we had it and what we're now losing and have lost. There's a plethora of narratives that have come out this season which show that. It'd would have been nice to have it when the team needed it most last season. | |

Football has to be about more than just winning games. I'd take attacking football, entertainment and passing football over Mick's grind any day. It had become joyless. Also how are you so certain Mick would have delivered safety? [Post edited 10 Apr 2019 17:43]

Can you let the FA, the league etc. know please? We've not been playing fantastic football under anyone who succeeded Mick in any great periods of time. Even our win Saturday, like the one against Rotherham was a game of differing periods. Care to give us a little run down of where and how this improved football has been evident away from results? As for you last question, take a look at his worst season here even with that level of adversity we were never close to going to down. Now average out the 5 or so as a whole. For Mick to have taken us down would require a level of hard luck and poor investment even we've not seen under Evans ever. | |

Reading at home, must win game, one up front.... There hasn’t been that much difference to last season, apart from we have been considerably worse. | |

The monitor always went up and down with Mick, this season we were due a good one with him. | |

I'd rather watch us win more often than I watch Halley's comet and not be relegated. But that's just me. | |

His players yes, they were by and large loyal to each other but the effort put into the job was first and foremost for his own legacy, hence even in the beginning a large proportion of the fans never bought into it. | | | |

Difference in style between Mick and Lambert is clear. A reminder that Lambert has achieved this with a depleted and unbalanced squad. West Brom away, Reading away, Bristol City away. Did you go? Fantastic football and entertaining. A long way from Mick at the end. No need to go to FA etc - football is entertaining again and Lambert is building something. | | | |
Stat on 18:01 - Apr 10 with 3161 views | Kieran_Knows | They’ve got Lambert’s head there as if it’s his fault when it should be Evans/Hurst for a start. But good, we definitely need another thread on this. | |

That depends, as someone who plays on a Saturday morning and watches Ipswich in the afternoons and I consider them very different things. Playing I consider as sport, and at a low level in front of next to no one it is indeed about winning, regardless of style of play. However I don't view watching football as sport, but as entertainment. While there's obviously the emotional part to football which a trip to the cinema hasn't got, you still do it for enjoyment first and foremost, and while winning is always more enjoyable than losing, an end to end 2-3 loss like the West Brom game is infinitely more enjoyable than a 0-0 draw such as we've seen a number of in the past few seasons. | |
