Post match Ipswich thoughts

Firstly, what is wrong with our home form?!

Rather than pin down 1 factor, let's consider the factors that make a team better at home or so called "home advantage"
-Familiarity (perhaps our newer players may struggle here)
-No jet-lag from travelling
-Fans (are we behind the team?)
-Away fans (incredibly, with smaller allocations, perhaps the smaller teams will make more noise?!)
-Tactics (is the way we are set up a problem?)

Any others? I'm not too sure but if I had to put it down to one thing it would probably be our strikers; hitting the bar is not the back of the net.

Positives from today:
- Not miles away from top 2 despite what people think and 10 points off top of the league, hard to believe considering
- Darlow! Great form from the young man and interesting to see premier league clubs such as Liverpool and Man City linked with him
- Our makeshift defence, although it is not ideal to not have a settled back 4, at least there is strength in depth there with players like Halford to bring in, its just unfortunate that 2 key defenders (Wilson and Cohen) are out.

Negatives:
- Still need a ball-winner to stop teams running at our defence constantly
- Well, even though he is in good form, Cox for me still doesn't deliver, misses more than he scores and the goals he scores are tap-ins, also offside all the time
- Home draw
- Sheep won
- Out the top 6

All in all, we'll have to take this point and move on to the next game, we may win our next 5 and opinions may change. I think at this point in the season, it is not critical how we are doing, after January results like this may annoy me a lot more. Stay patient.
