Genuinely don't know where a win is coming from playing like this. 

 

Who cares about winning when the manager is a good honest bloke and the team has less of the ball than our opponents? We've got our Leicester back

I'm.not saying sack Cooper, I don't think that will help at all plus who else would else decent want to come here?, but we need to try and get a couple of more semi decent players in and try and get some better attacking intent in otherwise it's gonna be a long laborious season. You can just sense it.

 

Maybe another great escape! Who knows!

The game showed us just how far we've fallen, even teams like Fulham have left us behind. We played some good football against Spurs, but today we were just rubbish. No positives for me.

what game were you watching? we offered basically nothing 

We had 10 shots in the game. But in the 2nd half we did struggle to keep the ball in their half until we bought Ayew on.

disappointing result today it felt like a game we could nick something out off. Their second goal was incredibly poor from our point of view. unforgivable at this level.

 

We have no natural number 10 or 9 to come off of the bench so once Vardy and Facundo went off it was square pegs in round holes again.

 

3 more years of Bobby Reid God, help us

 

The mystery surrounding Ricky P goes on.

 

The only positive I can think of is Skipp looked half decent when he came on and we looked mildly threatening from set pieces & we have a new chant that will annoyingly stay in my head for the next 2 years

10 shots but other than the goal not a single one of them was a good quality chance

 

Before and after the goal we didn't create another single even decent chance

No I just don't do knee jerk reactions, because I'm not a melt......

 

It's not knee jerk to say he's clearly out of his depth, should never have been given the job and we're just wasting time because footballing decorum is to give a manager "time."

 

There's no evidence at all of him having a functional plan and communicating it to the players. 

 

Remember when we came up with Pearson and we were struggling for points after the initial flury of excitement around the United game? 

 

We still looked like there was a plan, we were in games, we were often unlucky. It took deep in to the losing run for Pearson to lose the plot with that four defensive midfielder diamond away at Newcastle. 

 

This doesn't look like "let him cook" at all does it. You can't watch this and go "I see what he's trying to do, when it clicks we'll be great."

 

It just looks like a manager that absolutely stumbled in to premier league management with a freak purple patch and is now out of his depth. Especially given that he's being asked to do something different here to Forest. Here he's being asked to back up all of his talk of playing progressive, possession based, attacking football. 

 

In football, it's always frowned upon to sack a manager without time served, substitute a player before half time, generally make any early change. But statistically, the earlier you make changes the better. 

 

I really hope we don't throw this season away out of politeness. **** sunk cost, just reverse the mistake and go approach a proper manager. **** it, Potter must have given up on England now. I'll have him third time lucky over this mess.

I thought there were a few occasions where a better touch or pass would have landed us with a great chance to score.

 

I'm not suggesting that we've gone to Fulham and blown them off the park but I do think a bit of perspective is needed.

I thought we were an improvement on last week. Cordoba Reid worst player on pitch, Kristiansen struggled and not good enough. Central defenders played well, Winks tidy, Ndidi broke up a lot of play , Justin very strong.

It's going to be a long hard season, but we knew that.

Might be able to pick up points against the bottom eight teams on this performance. 

‘Justin very strong’ except for when both Fulham goals were scored.

« Shit is fine, just not this shit, this is a thousand miles from the shit I ordered. »

This seems to be general feeling.
Go down, make money, come back up. Don’t be shit next time.

That’s football though isn’t it.  Teams have ups and downs. 

23 years ago Ipswich beat Man City and relegated them.

You know what the sooner some realise we aren't the Leicester of 2019-2021 the better 

I accepted the position we are in well before the first ball was kicked on Monday 

Anyone who genuinely believes we would go and dominate Fulham today need a reality check 

Yeah we could have gone toe to toe, but more then likely they pass around us with ease and we get beat 4 or maybe 5 

Aside from the 2 goals which were defensive disasters from Justin, the plan to keep it tight and maybe sneak a winner was going OK 

It wasn't pretty football at all, and there are areas we need to improve on drastically, but come on FFS, it's 2 games

I think those expecting signings this week that will bring goals are going to be disappointed. I believe the club think they've sorted that with Ayew. I reckon no more business will take place.

Those saying we're worse than under Maresca. What would Maresca's passing out from the back approach have done today against Fulham's quality Premier League press? In any event it was effectively the same team at the back and up to midfield except arguably a more natural left-back.

We're not good enough and won't be all season. I won't be beating myself up each week.

I'd play Ricardo at right-back and Justin at left-back, Mavididi instead of Reid, and Cannon for Ayew but after that what else could anyone change? In all honesty, I don't think those changes alter much either. The quality is not there and we knew that.

What would Potter do differently?

Pretty much what I've just tried to say in my post 👏

Iargely agree. Thought we were resilient and tidy at times

 

But the frustration is we could be soooo much better. Good players sat twiddling thumbs on the bench and garbage out on the grass
