When we play like this I wobder how we are even remotely close to the playoffs and when we play like we did at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge I wonder how we aren't 6 points clear at the top.

What is this team? Good grief it's frustrating.

Young, I think is the answer.

This team relies heavily on the performances of our younger players. We lack cohesion if any of our loanees or youngsters are off their game.

I actually thought the problem is people are trying to do too much. We are trying so much that just isn't on. 

All the forward players can see their names on the score sheet. 

More or less every game now. Constantly trying to pinch the ball in front of the opposition. Constantly trying to catch them out. Constantly thinking of how I'm going to celebrate my goal

Exactly! Just do the simple things right ffs! It’s messing the simple things up that’s killing us, you win by being the bets at the basics, not by showboating. That’s exactly what we did on Saturday, and aren’t doing here. No composure, no surprise with such changes

[Woodley Ram]

Noooooooo

[Posh Ram]

We are playing so poorly, such a good chance for us to close the gap at the top.

Nice clearance by Holmes tho

[Mr. P]

We just can’t get anything going. 

[DCFC1388]

This is so poor. To concede from that freekick position is a joke. Lawrence is way too narrow n Malone keeps cutting inside and losing it. 

So many long aimless balls to nobody

[SaintRam]

Duane Holmes clears a ball of the line with a header, leaping up to the top corner. Quite impressive.

Not sure age is a factor tonight. There are some experienced heads on the pitch tonight and it comes down to a basic lack of effort and composure with the ball.

Dreadful showing. 

[SuperDerbySuperRams]

What is going on today? Regardless of the team put out this is us being complacent again, just like against Rotherham and Bolton. Huddlestone has to come on here

[Remy the hare]

Where just not at the racers are we? Making Ipswich look like a good side. Why change the system from Saturday?

[Mckram]

This is an absolute criminal performance and hate to say it but totally inept by Lampard putting Johnson and King in together. No control in midfield all game.

Then to bring on Nugent, I have no words.

(Please score now Nugent)

For me though it's the younger players who make the difference. Most of our experienced players, with the exception of guys like Keogh and Huddz, are average Championship players at best.

It's our young lads who have the superior talent, but are inconsistent, and when they're off it our overall level drops to below average. 

[Anag Ram]

Can we please get Lawrence off? 

His performance is giving me indigestion.

[Edtheram]

Players don’t want it - there’s do. Had the same problem for years.

Finally had a midfield Saturday, so what does frank do? Tear it apart and stick Johnson in. Unfathomable and this dirge showing is no surprise given the team put out. Worsened by a general complacency in the team as well.

It's quite baffling how poor we've been away from home to the premusably 'poor' sides. Bolton, Rotherham, Millwall, Wigan, Preston and now Ipswich. All crappy performances while we've been phenomenal away at United, Chelsea, Southampton, West Brom and Norwich. 

[Whoneedshuls]

Players thought they’d  turn up and piss it against bottom of the league with minimal effort..

[May Contain Nuts]

Did we really think selecting 2 central midfielders who've never played together before and neither 

of whom have played a league match since November was a good idea?

[Cam the Ram]

Away vs the bottom half teams:

24th (Ipswich) - currently drawing 1-1 and being outplayed

23rd (Bolton) - lost 1-0 and were outplayed

22nd (Rotherham) - lost 1-0 and were outplayed

21st (Reading) - won 2-1 on the opening day, but were outplayed

20th (Millwall) - lost 2-1 and were outplayed

19th (Wigan) - won 1-0 and probably deserved the win (although they played with 10 men for 75 minutes)

18th (Brentford) - not played them away yet

17th (QPR) - drew 1-1 in an even game

16th (Stoke) - lost 2-1 despite being against 10 men for the 2nd half

15th (Sheff Wed) - won 2-1 in a close game

14th (Blackburn) - not played them away yet

13th (Preston) - drew 0-0 but were dominated
