Ipswich Town v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

Meh. Early start has flattered us really and today's result has balanced out the first two.

Still very disappointing. We should be beating Ipswich when they have 11.

This is the sort of game we'd have ground out 1-0 last year but obviously weaker keeper and defensive structure.

Not good. Need to step things up v our bogey team on Wednesday.

I think it's more of a case that Albert, Hutton and then Green delivered some absolute rubbish. Delivery was nowhere near good enough and the hold up play is beyond Kodjia.

We need a forward where the ball will stick and we will look so much better.

Just watched the highlights

Everything about them screamed second rate

We had four good chances. All from crosses. Three from set pieces.

They missed two sitters.

We do need change I feel. But we need to choose right. And if that means waiting a while I'm ok with that

You'd have thought with McGinn and Grealish we had enough quality to work it ON THE DECK THROUGH THE MIDDLE

Really missing Grabban for hold up play, Davis is also sorely missed in that respect.

Can't see any better than the play-offs under Bruce I'm afraid.  You have to win a  game against a middling side down to 10 men if you are looking for top 2.   I can see Boro being this year's Cardiff, blunt but effective, and Leeds being this year's Wolves.   I really hope this is just a stay of execution while the new owners find their feet, weigh up their options and set their sights on a proper coach.

It’s 4-4-1 with a Jack drifting.
No pace any where, defense drops deep and no style of play.
No defensive pattern , no forward pattern, no creating 2 on 1 situations, no attempt to exploit individual strengths.
Nothing Nada just the same old shit.

Spot on. Grabban was MOTM at the game on 21st April and I agree that we need a fit Davis as soon as possible to keep the ball 'up top'.

Glad he is so relaxed about it.

[Keeno]

It's that mindset. He think's its 'fine' we got a point away at Ipswich.

[Taylor]

It's that mindset. He think's its 'fine' we got a point away at Ipswich.

That’s because in a whole season of results, providing you win the majority, it is.

I think if you see it purely as a result then yeah it is. Unfortunately everyone on here saw the performance and being unable to create anything against 10men for most of the match is definetely not "fine" if we expect to be in the running for promotion

[PaulWinch again]

Not good enough, nowhere near good enough against 10 men.

I'm glad Kodjia scored and pleased we've got 7 points from the 1st 3 games compared to only 1 point  last season. Bothered by way Bruce sets up Axel and jedinak to play and concerned by Nyland. Definitely a case of 2 points dropped today. There's a lot more to come from the Villa team. Is Bruce capable of untapping their potential? I don't think so, despite our improved start.
