    I really like Hutchinson but he has a slightly concerning habit of losing the ball in areas that lead directly to goals against.

    Bar a couple of Morato moments we've looked comfortable at the back but predictably anaemic going forward.
    Then that happens. So, so weak.
    I've told myself that going out of the cup doesn't really matter, but this is - yet again - rather shit.

    And now it's 2.
    Utterly pathetic.

    Which bit do you like? The bit where he mostly makes the wrong decision when on the ball, the bit where he mostly hits the first man with a cross or the bit where he's weak as fuck in any contact and gets brushed off the ball like a fly?

    I'm a bit perplexed and the TNT coverage was shit as ever so we may never know.

    Don't think we've had a shot on goal have we?

    Nothing going forward.
    Weak and error prone at the back.
    Pretty shambolic, really.
    McAtee and Ndoye utterly non-existent.
    Yes this is a scratch side but it's not that much different from the first team in terms of performance, is it?

    I think there's a lot there to persevere with. He's a young kid who's been thrust into a hurricane of a shitstorm this season (including all the Europa League squad bollocks), and still managed to produce some important moments for us.

    What do I like? His acceleration over five yards, his balance and trickery, and the simple fact he has that rare talent in the modern game of being able to go past a player. Admittedly his final ball is often more miss than hit at present.

    My mate's been supporting Ipswich for nearly 40 years and says he's one of the best, if not the best, he's seen at Portman Road. Plenty more to come from Hutchinson, I think.

    Not sure what the officials were up to but I guess they eventually came to the right decision. Unless juggling’s allowed now, I lose track.

    Didn't hit his arm. Was top corner of his chest.

    Nope. Not much difference from what I've sat through in PL games recently. Same shit different team.

    It was his arm.

    So weak it's untrue.

    They said earlier this 11 cost us £179M.

    Definitely below the sleeve line, which is supposed to be the deciding factor.

    But so fucking what? Those margins shouldn’t matter.

    Just seen the replay we literally passed the free kick to their player standing 12 yards away who played the guy in.

    It's actually funny how utterly shit they are.

    Silver lining, it's less games in the schedule/more rest time. That's all I've got.

    See if you can find a still to clear this up, because I'm pretty certain it wasn't.

    Luiz looks like he's playing through a whole lot of regret.
