Embarrassment.Sword65pf said:I’m loving how most clubs state how bad they were on the day / how awful we are, and then we get a positive result, we are so lucky every team almost has an off day against us. I just can’t fathom what the common denominator is. I’ve been saying we are better than people think. The club has an all round feel like the curbs days us proving people wrong. I love it!!

Last year they were in The Premier League and the two before that they won promotion. They’ve wrongly assumed that this season in The Championship was going to be if not a cake walk then straightforward enough to be right up there. They lost a few players and spent a lot of money. They have a great squad on paper but as we know we don’t play on paper. A squad of talented individuals but not a team. It was obvious from last night that it’s less than the sum of its parts. On the other hand we are the complete opposite. Jones is a talented coach at getting things together. We’re greater than the sum of our teams parts and together as a squad, team and fan base. We’ll see a lot of comments akin to those of Ipswich this season.2

I watched a big chunk of that last night after I got in from the match.carly burn said:
Unbelievable. the first two fellas look like they're going to cry any minute. Life must've been so tough being an Ipswich fan these past few years.
It's only when the third bloke joins halfway through that we get given any credit at all. Well, he says "I assume you've already given credit to Charlton", and the first two just look sheepish because they've barely mentioned us, other than commenting how we don't have any quality in our side and that our "best player" (TC) was on the bench. Brilliant.
Well worth a watch if you have a spare hour or so!1 -
A good example is how we close down/block so effectively in and around the penalty area so oppo is reduced to speculative long range shots like last night.fenaddick said:
As is the theme for all our victories. Opposition fans will always think we caught them on an off day because they don't see us enough to realise that we specialise in creating off daysTodds_right_hook said:Ipswich were poor second half because we made them look poor.
Ipswich bought their way out of L1, went up again and have parachute money. We have spent less to try and stay in the championship than they spent to get out of L1.
of course we won’t finish above them. The fact that their fans are even discussing it shows how far we have come0
