Poor game, devoid of any quality whatsoever. Our substitutions were made too late, especially in midfield. Kelly and McGuane both tired early, and - similarly to Saturday - we went from winning the midfield battle to losing it, and ended up on the back foot as a result. Agyei showed again that he's better as a striker than a winger (despite only being given about four minutes to do so), but I fully expect to see him back out on the wing on Saturday.

At least we got a clean sheet. Yippee.

We should have won that. That was a massive opportunity to get a win.

Ipswich were poor. We dominated the game, but we didn’t attack enough.

Clare and Agyei should have come on with 30 mins to go and let us really attack them.

Can understand Robinson being cautious given that is exactly what he tried to do against Swindon with his subs.
 
How do you build any play when the ball does not stick up front? The full backs provide zero quality from an attacking perspective
and as always the set piece delivery is so often poor.

That was a good chance to win a game againt very ordinary opponents but we can’t build anything and so often in second halves at home
we offer little after an hour or so. It seems we vacant the central midfield area and just try and get it down the right side all the time.
Can’t see where the creativity is.

A clean sheet is welcome of course but we just don’t show enough ambition to win a game.
 
That was rubbish. We let Ipswich have a point and I'm not happy with only a point.
A decent side would have got two or three against them. Even signs of time wasting by us. I'm getting really fed up with this shower now. Can't see how things are going to get any better.
 
Please for the love of god will the Eastwood sentimentalists now accept Stevens has to be our starter?

Look, Eastwood is like a TV series. I loved the early series, but the recent series are predictable and full of plot holes, run out of ideas. End the show now before you forget you enjoyed the early series.
 
Very laboured performance...a notch or two above the second half on Saturday but Ipswich looked exactly like a team with so many first teamers out that they were there for the taking. Dull, predictable stuff.
McGuane stood out by playing an averagely good game.
 
We scraped a 0-0 draw at home against a side that has been in free fall league wise. Better than the usual two goal deficit I suppose.
 
Well done Jack Stevens ....vocally communicative...defence had belief in him ..and the first league clean sheet since way back in last season too
 
So we ended up with a dreadful, encouraging, wasted opportunity, point earned against a top six side, clean sheet, wasted chances, confidence boosting, point gets us nowhere result, right?
 
Let’s start with the positives - Clean sheet. Finally. McGuane looked decent again and nobody got injured.

Negatives... Christ that was dull. The attacking play compared to last season is painful to watch, such a lack of pace and quality. That was Ipswich Town reserves, we were at home and supposed to be showing a reaction from Saturday. It wasn’t really any different to what we’ve seen so far this season.

We tried to time waste vs the scum too. KR has run out of ideas.
 
As already said good we got a clean sheet and well done Jack !!!
Just feel we are passing sideways and backwards too much and a bit laboured in the build up.
But a game we should of and could of won, we looked very nervous the last 15 minutes at the back.
We didn’t lose and should give us a bit of confidence because we are going to need it for Saturday.
 
This would have been a decent result if we hadn't of imploded on Saturday. I was hoping of a performance that would make me some what forget the scum game but there was no real urgency up front . The only positive is we kept a clean sheet.
