After today its easy to see why.
Hopefully we can get something at Spurs but can't see us getting anything from Villa. |  |

Can't see us getting many more points. Maybe hull and crystal palace at home but expect us to be in bottom three by then and pressure really on. We have been the poorer team in every game I have watched apart from against Hull. We were outplayed by Sunderland but squeaked a win and a hapless man U side thrashed us. | | | |

9 games takes us to the half way mark. I can't see us getting more than 4 or 5 points from those, putting us on 15/16 points, with a mountain to climb. | | | |

If we keep on conceding such soft goals, it's had to see how we win games. Playing balls into the space behind our full backs now seems a regular tactic. |  |

gifting goals, not creating enough chances. It is a tough road to travel. I hope we can keep our confidence levels. We need a win soon, but I cannot see where it is coming from at the moment. | | | |

This is right, the mistakes are killing us and it’s probably going to lead to us going down.
The majority of the points come in the first half of the season generally for promoted teams, as you get worked out. |  | | |

And now look where they are….
Scary. | | | |

We’ve missed the boat. Hull was a big game and we bottled it. This defence and keeper are championship at best. GON … time will tell, but conceding early, giving away gifts every game. Can he stop it? Not convinced. Lucky to get 30 points now. | | | |

Leeds had 11 point after 10 games and a -8 GD last season. Leeds fans were moaning they would be relegated if they didn't stop conceding silly goals
They won another 36 points after that |  | | |

We look like we are falling off it at the moment.
If you offered me 38 points now, I’d snap your hand off and hope that City get less than 88 with a 50 point deduction and 2 others get less than us. | | | |

We're the sixth highest goal scorers in the league.
We have scored the last goal in 8 of our 10 games.
We just need to stop making silly mistakes. [Post edited 9 Nov 8:50]

I'm thinking of starting a new grouping and I can't make up my mind as to which of the following I should call it.
The Ipswich Town Detractors Club
The Ipswich Town Fault Finders Club
The Ipswich Town Doomsters Club

I think Detractor Boys must surely be the answer? |

Leeds had a much better side then we have now, they were bed wetting, the reality is we'll probably finish 18th or 19th bar a patch of incredible form where we take points from sides we shouldn't.
It begs a bigger question of how sustainable it is for Gamechanger to keep chucking money at promotions, and then a further £200mil on the Premier League, to gain very little in sporting terms. Of course we assume we'd go back up, but Leicester and Burnley show what can happen just as easily. We're a legacy club competing in the media money era, the odds are very much against us.
Ashton shouldn't have been talking about Europe publicly yet, behind closed doors, great to have ambition, but he's over hyped a very intolerant section of our fanbase who are struggling to come to terms with the fact we're firmly in a relegation battle. |  |

Anyone who believes Ashton's delusions of grandeur hook, line and sinker deserves to have their brains checked. 50/50 at best, and more often than not just pure b0ll0cks. | | | |

What's frustrating is I think we did amazing work this summer and we are really close... but what's ultimately hurt us is repeatedly failing to recruit for certain positions.
£20m on Muric, Palmer and Scherpen - and Walton is still our number one.
£38m on Egeli, McAteer and Ogbene - and Fatawu is our only right winger at the club with Maeda now playing out of position (probably out of necessity as much as anything).
£35m on Clarke and Philogene - and frankly it is still a problem position for us. Most teams have one of their star attackers cutting in from the left; Jaden looks miles off it to me.
Those hurt and will continue to hurt us. | | | |

Leeds fans were bedwetting, and you're not? 
Leeds were in the same position as us. Conceding silly goals, but they improved as the season continued.
The problem is too many Town fans thought the season was defined after 3 games, it never is. There will be ups and downs, thats football. Its about where we finish at the end of the season not after 10 games.
Makes me laugh how some on here highlight Coventry fans getting emotional about losing games and they should understand this season will be difficult and then react the same. Even moaning naughty Ashton shouldn't mention qualifying for Europe. | | | |

A lot of supporters have been drawn into the idea we are safe, the Europe talk hasn't helped the mentality. Its going to be a brutal slog where we lose more than we win and it's still more likely we'll be playing in the Championship next season than the Premier League. It's not being negative, it's just some of us live on earth!I get that some want to believe, no harm in that, it's just some forget to be humble. The superiority complex over Hull and Coventry is totally unwarranted, let alone those who think we by rights should be beating Bournemouth and co.
Its 2026, not 1976.
We're a legacy club, we're competing with the media money clubs. They very much have every advantage over us. | |

I am not bed wetting, I am realistic, I am not emotional at all. I think we'll likely be relegated, thats my head and not my heart. We don't have a Premier League squad, we have some players at this level, but not enough to cover for those mistakes you reference.
17th would be a huge achievement for this squad. Anyone thinking Europe or mid-table is going to be hurting this season. It's a dog fight to avoid the drop. | |

No poop Sherlock, media clubs (aka established Premier League clubs) have an advantage over us.
Did anyone ever think otherwise?
Survival though is not built on us finishing above the likes of Bournemouth, Brentford or Brighton.
That's why many remain reluctant to administer the last rites when after 10 games we're 14th in the table and 3 points above the relegation zone.
And it's hardly delusional to believe, on the basis of what we have seen so far, that we can finish above Palace, Coventry and Hull.
But if you're happier feeling doomed already, then go for it. | | | |

We've just had arguably our worst performance of the season so no wonder some are getting anxious. We will go down if we keep conceding soft goals. GON will be well aware of this; the issue is what he does to improve it. Both goals conceded were the result of poor individual decision making & hopefully the team will learn from that. We are far more competitive in midfield than 2 seasons ago so we are nowhere near a lost cause . | |
