Even without Bielik our squad is better than Rotherham's. So why are Rotherham at the same level as us with a worse team?

Considering Rotherham seem to be our main rivals this season, how many of there players would you actually put in our team? 1 or 2 if that? There squads so bad they were even happy to take Jozefzoon of us.
Does this not suggest that we should at least be above Rotherham's level? does this not suggest that either the players aren't playing to there ability? or (more likely in my opinion) the coaches aren't getting the best out of them?

Yes but isn't it worth the risk? we keep losing anyway

If your referring to Byrne, then yes he did get relegated from this division last season, but so did Robinson their other full back who is now in the premier league. Also Byrne was part of that team that only lost 2 of their final 18 games so has proven he is good enough for this division. 
And so players like Lawrence & Waghorn who have proven previously to be top 6 championship players, suddenly just become league one standard do they?
Jozwiak as well, a proven international player, suddenly just becomes league 1 standard when he joins us ??
I'm not saying the squad is good enough for promotion, but it is certainly better than where we are. 

well its one manager and one complete rookie.
The squad is good enough to not be in a relegation fight.

well who else do you compare him to, if not other managers?

there's a certain person already in the building that could do the job....

Should have got Paul Cook while we had the chance

like there is now?

Agree, rate him but according to one of my best mates, an Ipswich fan, he hasn’t pulled up any trees yet and the football has continued to be dire in his view...

I think this season has been long in the making though I did hope we'd challenge but the EFL cup tie against Barrow was an early indicator. 
This week could possibly have been the most significant for us  in terms of how the relegation battle has turned against us - though if we go down, it has to do with a multitude of things, not one week. But it's the week where things are finally no longer in our hands unless we start winning ourselves: Coventry winning away, Rotherham winning their other midweek game &  Huddersfield possibly doing the same whilst we lost again.
It's been a body blow. I'm sure the other sides are aware of our form and know getting a good result of some sort will heap even more pressure on an out of form side.

Mac 3......... Please.

I know we don't have many options at the moment, but what was Rooney doing with the substitutions today. 
Jozwiak off for Watson when we're in need of a goal and he has looked threatening all game. Buchanan on for Forsyth, did absolutely nothing when he came on except hit a cross straight out for a goal kick. Forsyth was playing very well up until then. Why in this sort of situation would you take off the experienced player who was playing so well?
Also bringing on Kazim just seemed to ruin our style of play, he has no movement whatsoever, just demands long balls all the time. And even then he was out of breathe near the end. 
Oh and our u23's RB Ebosele up front in place of Lawrence. I have no words for that. 
 

agree, if anything just to get a "new manager lift". We'll lose a lot more money if we go down than it would take to sack Rooney.
The players showed in the first 60mins against Blackburn they have too much quality to be relegated.
 

Tomorrow I honestly would consider saying thanks but we need an experienced head.. and give it Schteve til the end of the season. Regardless of the league we are in I'm really doubtful Wayne is the man to take us up the table. 

McClaren would have this team playing with purpose and intent. Rooney appears to be Cocu with a scouse accent. They both speak surprisingly well, but serve up dire football. McClaren on the other hand, appears a buffoon when speaking but inspires feelgood football, that is until morons start moaning that a 3-0 half time lead against Brighton is not good enough! ??‍♂️
