Ipswich 1-2 Southampton - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Ipswich Town and Southampton.

Here are some of your comments:

Ipswich fans

Dave: Simply not good enough. Muric has shown that he is not up to the required standard yet again. We can't score enough goals and then defend well enough to hold on, plus we no longer have the impact players on the bench to grab late goals. We are now staring down the barrel and it will take a minor miracle to save us from the drop.

Jon: It's a shame to see how we approach games. We had to go for the jugular but we have lost our way. We have the players to win games, but they are trying to be heroes. There is no connection running through them and we are too slow. We can't beat the worst team in the league at home, and Saints looked awful. That says it all. We must do much better.

Trevor: Absolute rubbish. Hugely disappointed. That's my weekend ruined.

Andy: It was always going to be a close game but being on the wrong side of it makes me feel, and probably the rest of the fanbase feel, that relegation is more likely than not. I'm still very much behind McKenna, but bringing Muric back into the starting line-up seemed destined to lead to mistakes. A costly choice.

Derek: If McKenna is so great, why do we still have no goalkeeper? Muric has lost us at least 12 points this season.

Southampton fans

John: Great win. The fans were amazing, as always. One more win to get the dreaded 'Derby record' tag away from us. The manager has definitely got the players performing well, so it is really pleasing for him to get his first win.

Bill: We did well, away from home with two new players. Our central defence is worrying, but we came through. Still a long way to go. Bournemouth blow hot and cold, so we might surprise them. The fans were great.

Steve: If we are going to do anything for the rest of the season, we need to have our best players on the pitch as much as possible. Unfortunately, I don't feel he knows who they are yet. This result was very welcome, but I don't think it changes anything.

Kenny: The spine we thought to be key to our starting XI is in fact... the problem. Stephens, Downes, Armstrong. Juric is no fool, it's not all about him. He looks up for this.
