Well, before the Burnley match last Saturday was the game at Crystal Palace where Town got thrashed 5-0!
Welcome to the real ITFC Mick McCarthy!

It was the same awful Town performance against Palace. In fact it was an awful second half when we gave 3 penalties away! So, dreadful defending and a poor to non existent attack gave that bad result & I felt amazed that this was almost the same side that had won away a few days earlier at Birmingham. I felt sorry for Mick McCarthy but I also felt he could and would deal with this situation. Mick needs some time to get the team together and start to get the team getting points. He knows it may be a bumpy ride through the rest of the season but he knows that points not performance are the key to survival against relegation and I feel sure Mick has the will to get Town moving up the table. He kicks every ball and more on the touchline! That is the passion he has and Town need!

So, what better tonic than to win your first home game as the manager for Mick? With the 2-1 win against Burnley that was exactly the much needed tonic for the team, club and all the supporters. Much relief all round (I think the first home win for Town?). Again there were good & bad parts to the performance but getting a win was vital for the three points and that helped Town move up the table. Carlos Edwards played somewhere in midfield and Luke Chambers full back and that worked. Ritchie Wellens played what maybe his last game. He has done well for Town during his loan and it would be good if he could get his loan extended. It was a better performance than that versus Crystal Palace but it wasn’t hard to do better than that dreadful performance. DJ Campbell continued to do well-he scored again.Overall well done Town! Nevermind the performance just get the points!

Let’s hope for points at the next match, which is away at Leicester on Saturday. Should be interesting…
COYB!!
