    About as good as it got in the 2nd half..

    Everything we did get the ball, it was as though we were terrified and instantly gave possession back.

    Still not sure what Cole does on a football pitch.. Gotta be up there with the Frimpong level of clueless.

    1 corner all game and let in 3 of only 4 shots Leeds had on target. Missed a penalty, gave away a penalty and collected yellow cards. I know we were playing a Premier League fringe 11 but I don't think Collins is worried about his place at Ipswich.

    It's another performance that shows the majority of the players we have , are nowhere near good enough . We have a serious lack of talent in that squad . Duff is going to have to be a magician to get anything out of these players .

    I’d love you to explain to me what Walton could have done better?
    We played a premier league team with a set of players that would all walk into our team and played okay.

    I honestly don’t know what some people want/expect.

    Really? I thought that was one of Cole's better games. Norwood however...

    Yep I thought the same. I’m not going to write players off too early but I think the quality of the majority of new signings is a strong indicator of where we are financially. Halme was streets ahead of McCarthy from what I have seen so far.

    That 'fringe' 11 would be safe in the premier league if they were all first teamers

    A little disappointed in McCarthy so far (haven't seen tonights game) because the press up in Scotland were raving about him, saying we've got a really good player on our hands. Can only hope it's a slow burner and he gets up to speed soon!

    Did you go or just spend the night keyboard slapping? Walton didn't do much wrong

    It's not how many he let in it's how many on target he let in. If he had let in three out of say 7+ on target it wouldn't have been so bad. It's that they only had one shot on target they didn't beat him with. Anyway strikers are a bigger concern.

    Why do we keep looking for a position for Odour looked so out of depth ,and big disappointment in Norwood , he looked like a cart horse.
    Mads was immense one or two other players played well but you can't carry passengers which we tried to do tonight.
    Felt for the 3000 that made the trip over ,fair play to them all ,they weren't mugs .
    Just proper fans who deserve better.

    Cole was one of a few tonight that put a shift in.
    Sadly that wasn't the case for some.
