@nwarddrfc: Sorry to say but it's like watching the season slip away from us and there is nothing we can do about it. Darren needs to sort it out and quick otherwise it's mid table for us

@elliott_teale: Tough one to take we were by far the better team! Slack defending for the second goal!

@SteveGr41417727: Battled but no finishing in and around the box. Ipswich defence made it difficult. Lack of concentration cost us goals again. Onwards and upwards, lets keep behind them

@Ady2408: Just not clicking at the minute. Own worst enemies, NOT the opposition out playing us...

@JohnLeslieCoyl1: Dominated possession, conceded from set pieces and generally showed no urgency. Very frustrating afternoon.

@Markhughes82: Sorry but DM got the tactics all wrong in this game why can’t we mix it up go 4-3-3 do something different

@MikeSFollows: Lots of promise up to the final third. There was space behind the full backs but we were too keen to cut inside and try to play through the heart of a packed defence. First Ipswich goal was a dubious free kick but went in Balcombe's side of the goal, not over the wall.

@Filo221963: No good having the ball if you do nothing with it, and when in added time and losing it would be helpful to get it upfield rather than tap it around at the back!

@Bessiered: Totally dominated possession, Bostock is far too good for this league. Ipswich look a poor side. We have to take opportunities we create when they come around. First goal never a free kick, but EB should have done better. 2nd goal typical poachers goal which is what Norwood is.

@GedtRTID: Too tippy tippy, keep playing from the goalie too many times, not string enough up front by far, didn't think it was a good performance

@pgjackson1: Disappointing lacked a cutting edge and urgency today improvement needed
