Did DM give a post match interview in Sky, I switched off. If so what did he say?

Usual rubbish as expected, we lost because we conceded an early goal

[Droitwich Baggie]

This is much more likely the case than the idea that Jones is solely to blame for everything.

I think Moore is mostly restricting Jones's attacking style, but then compromising by allowing the team to play out from the back which causes us problems. Right now the football is neither solid defensively nor threatening going forward.

Should Jones be allowed to take control of the team?
This is down to upper management.

See us out till the end of the season, blend some youth in and get Harper signed up.

The board have got 4 months to plan our next manager

[iwastherein68]

Two things guaranteed as soon as available Brunt and Morrison return! , yes Moore is so predictable, I can call that with confidence.
He is also bloody clueless

To be fair they have been available for last couple of games, just not selected, I guess that will change for next week. Is it for the better ? not for me. The one in ten Morrison can offer something but the other 9 games he offers little, Brunt has to be out wide or on the bench, nowhere near the middle.

Harper was embarrassing today, gave the ball away numerous times and never tracked back just shrugged his shoulders and felt sorry for himself. Even so he was the best of our midfieldrers . Livermore is pinching a living and to think that he has more England caps than Bomber and Cyrille gives me indegestion.

Yes, it is. Moore's audition for the job was to play pretty defensive and dour football. Grinded out results against some big teams but the home games against Palace and Swansea (where the expectancy was to go and attack) showed that he can't set up a team to do that.

In the championship - where we are meant to be a big fish - that obviously wouldn't cut it as teams can sit back and stifle us. Hence we go and get Jones. That was generally the sentiment amongst fans at the time (who were receptive to it too) so I imagine it was upper managements consensus as well. The problem is seemingly we are stuck between two mindsets and thus mastering neither, and in Barnes we have lost the one player good enough to carry us through games regardless.

There's no room for sentiment in football. Time for Moore to go now while there is still some hope. If not we will regret it come May.

Thanks for that. Get rid of DM now.

I have now just been dragged into the "time to change" camp.

[paulosull]

Our board won't sack him as it would cost them money, Pardew the worst manager we have ever had left by mutual consent, he was embarrassed into leaving.

No. It is because they only look at to the bean counters rather than what will take us forward.

The one on the official twitter he goes on (yet again) about picking the bones out of it. He offers no deep insight into what went wrong, because he doesn't know. His tactics are school boy and he lacks a deep understanding of the game.

We do have the best squad in the league, but they are being mismanaged week in week out.

I actually regret buying my Ipswich ticket now. They're bottom, we're going to get battered.

You cannot seriously claim that you have just watched the best squad in the league!!! Not in green and yellow anyway. Stevie Wonder couldn't coach the best team in the league to play that bad.

utter garbage lacks a deep understanding of the game? So you have a better understanding do you? So why aren't you a coach? If you don't want to go against Ipswich sell your ticket or give it to someone who would love to go and support the club but can't afford it. And if you think we have the best squad in the league you and all the others who think that are seriously deluded.

[Droitwich Baggie]

I am now going to uposet a lot.
Although as we know he came from Handswoth (on our borders), didn't he support the vile lot from Witton?

[gazberg]

Just seen his interview on twitter to the official club page an some comments made to Matt Wilson from e and s. Utter garbage.

He's just a football equivalent of the 'Great Zoltar' machine from the film 'Big'. Regurgitating cliche after cliche from a selection of 15 pre-written phrases

[albion59]

What do you want him to do? Come out and say I have no backing from the club and all our players are rubbish!!?

spot on mate, went to our first game against Bolton with an expectation of free flowing football from us but was shocked at what I saw, playing the ball out from back to three center halves who looked uncomfortable on the ball no movement in front of them so side ways passing and then long passes lumped forward to no one in particular. Role on 7 months and nothing seems to have changed.

[gazberg]

What do you want him to do? Come out and say I have no backing from the club and all our players are rubbish!!?

No because he was backed. He's made some poor signings or at least approved them. I want him to do his job and take responsibility. I want him to develop half a footballing brain. The guys been in the game nearly all his life but you wouldn't believe it

[Aztech]

What do you want him to do? Come out and say I have no backing from the club and all our players are rubbish!!?

I simply want him to be honest in his assessment and admit he got the formation and tactics wrong. Unfortunately given that he provided similar comments after the Sheffield United game I don’t think he has the ability to change things.
