What a gutless, toothless, lazy, pathetic, torrid, abomination of a game. That's twice now we lose to the bottom of the table Barnsley who WILL get relegated. Meanwhile, these primadomma players who want to play intricate pussyfooting lose to a team that simply wanted it more. No more flair, play direct. The passing from the back constantly? What does that do except put us under pressure? What does waiting for every little pass in the oppositions 6 yard box do? Just flipping SHOOT THE BALL. We were awful. Don't deserve top 2, won't get it, and probably not promotion based on tonight's game. There is NOTHING that Parker could do about this team tonight. These players let us down, they let themselves down. They owe us answers. They are the ones that are playing, not him.
No doubt Barnsley will go down having beat us 5-0 on aggregate!
Mitrovic will be gone this summer, and with this team and Parker in charge. We'll be down the wrong end of the table, he absolutely has to go.
I'd have to say its actually the worst home performance I've ever seen by a country mile. Dating back as far as 2000 since I've been going to games.
How the hell we are so high in the league is beyond me, you can count on the fingers of one hand the games we have been convincing in.
Never wanted Parker as manager, his game plan is crap sack him and show some ambition.
Parker out
mauricio pochettino In.
Smells like time for a change
Players not really pushing themselves today ?
Team selection was pathetic

If Parker DID go, hypothetically, I'm all in on Poch.
I'd rather a potato than Parker right now.

Potatoes are quite useful and flexible - can be cooked, boiled, mashed, fried, sliced, diced, etc. and used in myriad different dishes - breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desert, so with this in mind, you are correct!

Hahaha this has me giggling in public. Well done.
Today was far worse than anything last season when at least we were up against quality opposition most weeks. It was a gutless performance from start to finish. I wasn't particularly surprised though because we haven't played well for weeks

Why don't you add Pep Guardiola to your list, he'll be available at the end of the season.

If we just continually mispronounce Championship as Champions League I'm sure he will come
On train home still to Ipswich, what a day with disruption on all train services. What gets me is how the feck are 3rd still??????

We usually scrape an odd Mitro goal and then rely on Rodak to save us. Those two didn't do the trick today.

I have just returned home, because I made a mistake when I started walking home by walking against the wind.
Now that I am at home I have had plenty of time to evaluate what took place today. I am at a loss as I cannot comprehend a situation and a performance that I did not see coming in any shape or form, only in my worst nightmare. The only thing I got right was the score, but the wrong way round.
Everything to play for today, that alone should have been enough motivation.
How could the players let us down so badly.
The mistake here is the comparison to potatoes ....,,,
They have eyes ...., Parker clearly does not

I am not sure if he has had his chips yet. There is another 39 points to play for, and those points are our destiny.

You and me both. Feel so sad 😞
I don't understand the tactics or the excuses. The amount of money they are paid is obscene to serve up such crap. Too slow too predictable.
If they loved the manager they would try harder.

If they loved the Club and appreciated and respected the supporters they would try a dam sight harder.
I'm no Manager and don't know what the answer is for yesterday, but in conditions like that I would want Johansen on in whatever formation was decided. He may have been injured?
The other thing that is bugging me is the lack of guts, tempo and tenacity every few games? Does this team want to play for Parker? I'm not anti Parker and the Jury is still out in me head, but if you lose the dressing room even in Sunday league you are stuffed!
That question will be answered against Derby
We are still 3rd, regardless.
The reason we are still 3rd is because most of the teams at the top have been inconsistent. Should they all sack their managers, too ?

The definition of inconsistent does not apply to what we all witnessed yesterday. The lack of tactics and cohesion was thoroughly disheartening.
Not too windy when there cashing their checks.
What an appalling performance. I have seen us play some bad games but yesterday was the worst ever. The bad conditions flying off the river were the same for both teams, yet they only seemed to affect us. Our team just looked like they would all sooner be back in the warm, they had no spirit, no drive and no ambition ....

Forget promotion for a while, the immediate doubt is how on earth is Parker going to lift those players into giving us any kind of performance on Friday night.
Confidence at Derby must be high.
When we created two decent chances in the first minutes of the second half, I actually thought, if we got one, we could go on & win the game. Then, game over with conceding the second.Â

A quick glance at their board suggests they're not wildly confident. They also seem to be suffering from the incompetence of the Championship officials.
Potato. Absolutely fabulous, made me laugh for the first time since the final whistle in that horrible last game.
Pochettino: there's a lot to like for him also. Potential promotion back to EPL, London location, budget & managing the best football club in England. If this could be made to work I would smile for a month. 049:gif

I don't agree that the players didn't try hard or that they didn't play for their manager or the supporters.
As Parker has stated lots of times (for different reasons, but...): "This is how I want us to play".
