Bristol City 2 ITFC 1

Very poor result today (losing to bottom place team Bristol City). I listened to the radio commentary and ITFC again had winning chances. Town started well with a good first half but then to let a goal in the first few minutes of the second half and then to concede a goal in the last few minutes is just dreadful.

It is just an awful season for ITFC supporters! Town now down from 19th place to 21st place and in real danger of falling into the bottom three and getting relegated. It is time for Mick & Terry to get the Town players and team motivated and determined to fight harder.Town need greater committment from the players in the squad and especially the team. Sadly, the team & the players have let themselves down badly, as much as letting the supporters down. Look at Bristol City today-they kept going & took their few chances and ended up winning, not because they were the better team but because Town players let them through complacency and lack of awareness. I actually think Mick McCarthy is too soft on his team saying recently he cannot fault the team work rate. My own view is that these players are not performing well enough and I feel as a team and as a minimum the team work rate has to be way above average to compensate. Unfortunately games and results are not just won and gained from work rate especially when one team do not concentrate & hand the opposition chances as ITFC team have done repeatedly over this & the previous season.

Well that was the bad news! However as I have said before the good news is that all the Town players are good football players-they simply need to get it together as a team consistently. I do not believe Town have to try & hope to get better players to join the club (though it would be nice to get a few top quality players in!) but  the players need to WAKE UP & WORK (& fight) a lot harder to get points and results! COME ON TOWN!!
