Relying on Russell to dictate a game, he needs to have the game of his life. Don't understand having Cotter on the bench either, why not have Shaw or Martin on the bench for another attacking option.
Not been impressed with Russell thus far. Seems far too slow and ponderous hopefully he proves me wrong tonight but feel even more less confident about tonight’s game than I did before.
Already have 5 loan players in the squad so no room for Martin, no idea why Shaw hasn't been involved.
That is a really weak midfield. Kane is good at what he does, Phillips has been poor for weeks and Russell so far has been one of the worst players I've seen for years.
We miss Connell when he's out than any other player by a country mile. Trying to stay positive but I predicted a loss before hand, can't see anything else happening now. I think they'll control that area where Connell plays and just get at us. Another reason we should be annoyed about Ipswich picking & choosing when they want to play... They would have been without 2 first team players, we'd have been on better form, they'd be on worse form, & we'd have Connell. If's and buts but it does grind my gears because we wouldn't have got away with it. Never mind. COYR!
Phillips hasn't been poor for weeks. All about opinions and that but he really hasn't. He's an excellent player and created both goals on Saturday, plus made at least three more chances we should have scored from.
Ah well, in my opinion he has. He contributes in moments but goes missing for majority of the game which puts pressure on others to carry.
