  Ipswich will count themselves unlucky not to have won that considering we scored from pretty much our only two chances. Dire first half in which we invited Ipswich onto us with the usual dodgy passing around at the back. This gave them confidence to have a go at us and they deserved to go in at half time ahead. Second half saw an improved performance by us but we still looked dodgy and likely to concede when Lawrence and McGoldrick (who both had excellent games) ran at our defence who were backing off too much when they got the ball. McShane is a big miss when he doesn't play. That was a point won rather than two thrown away in the…

  Frustrating season for me as this was my first awayday, and a disappointing performance all told. OP nails it with his assertions, although Williams played on the right as he was clearly right wing back, with Blackett and Gunter playing centrally with Moore. Desperately disappointed with Gunter for the first who backed off and backed off, making minimal effort to push Lawrence wide instead allowing him the freedom of Suffolk to smash home, and the defence collectively for the second with a direct ball out of the Ipswich defence finding McGoldrick in space who in turn played a single ball piercing the heart of the back line. Such a…

  I had a feeling we'd have an absolute stinker of a performance today and I was proved right. We can't just rock up and expect teams to roll over and let us play. There was little movement, communication and creativity, confounded by loads of individual errors. Defensively we were awful. Swift was atrocious, as was Gunter. Thought Obita had a decent game and Grabban looked good when he came on. Dissapointing performance but pleasing to come away with a point after playing so badly. We move on.

  Whilst I wasn't too chuffed with the performance, I'm happy that we have enough within the squad to grind out something when we don't play too well. It's also a measure of how far we've come that a draw at Portman Road is deemed to be a bad result. I got the thoughts from some Ipswich fans, and they said that was their best performance for the last 18 months, which is frustrating. I'd have taken 4 points from the two away games at the start of the week though.

  Tom Lawrence got goal of the day, to me it looked like a simple breakaway goal and not overly special. This is based on a poll the Sky Sports Twitter ran.

  I didn't feel that there was any cohesion. Nobody seemed to be aware of what anybody else was doing, the aimless passimg across-field got on my tits, the defece was a total shambles (We almost gave them there second) and Ali Al-Habsi's reluctance to "give it a hoof" now and then frustrated. Also why were we having so many problems slipping over (Particularly down the right in the first half) when I don' recall one Ipswich player losing his footing at any time. Bloody happy not to lose. We were crap (And £35 admission was an unpleasant surprise, too).

  By the way: if that's the best Ipswich have played for 18 months, it's no wonder the place was half empty.

  Compared to Tuesday evening that was rather disappointing to say the least - twice the cost and half the entertainment. Poor support for Ipswich and not much better for us - certainly not helped by cretins screaming abuse at our own players ! Thought Mutch looked very composed and will bring an additional level of experience, just like Griffin did a few years back - could turn out to be a very shrewd loan.
