Championship - Edwards: Players behind Keane

Eurosport - Thu, 22 Oct 12:20:00 2009

Ipswich winger Carlos Edwards admits he is at a loss to explain the club's run of form but is adamant the players are behind manager Roy Keane.

2009-2010 Ipswich pre-season Roy Keane - 0

Another goal conceded in stoppage time saw Watford extend Town's winless run to 13 games on Tuesday night but the former Sunderland winger is sure the tide will soon turn at Portman Road.

He said: "We are all fully behind Roy Keane. I have never been on a run like this before. It's the first time.

"The manager asked us this very question in the dressing room after the game. He asked us if anyone of us had suffered such a run in our careers and no one said "yes" they had.

"But what more can we do? We keep throwing the kitchen sink at teams. We don't look like a bottom team and we are all sticking together, like we have done all season."

  4. James, You make a great point, the team is surrounded­ by a fantastic lack of realism " we don't­ look like a bottom team ..." well look at the­ table and expalin that. Played 13, lost 6, won 0, drawn­ 7, -12 goal difference. In any other world apart from­ "Ipswich World" its time for a manager­ change.

  7. I see Paul Mariner is the new coach at Plymouth.
    Good­ luck to him - legend - but can't help thinking that­ once again Keane's lack of knowledge of the club­ has shown him up.
    It would have been a major boost for­ Ipswich to have been able to get someone like Mariner­ on board.
    His conection with the club and respect from­ everyone at Portman Road would have given everyone a­ massive lift - oooops sorry, just remembered, Keane­ couldn't possibly think about bringing someone in­ who might be able to show him a thing or two! (the mans­ arrogance, narrow-mindedness and egotistical powers­ know no bounds.

  8. We haven't won for 13 games and everyone thinks we­ are playing well!!!!
    Surely it's a first in world­ football for a side to continue to play well and not­ win for 13 matches.
    The league table does not lie, we­ are obviously not playing well, people need to take­ their heads out of the sand and realise the depth of­ the problem.
    Almost a third of the season is now gone­ and with so few points on the board a relegation battle­ is well and truly underway.
    It is a measure of the­ disaster this season has been when you look at­ Middlesboro.
    Both they and us had similar ambitions­ ahead of the season and they are disappointed enough­ with their position to sack their manager - just a­ point off the top.
    I dont know if I am going daft, but­ I seem to remember us being fourth favourites for­ promotion a week before the season started - oh how­ times change and people's memories fade in­ footall.
    WAKE UP!! THIS SITUATION IS COMPLETELY­ UNNACCEPTBLE AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE ANY­ MORE. HE IS ONLY STILL IN THE JOB BECAUSE OF HIS­ NAME.
    IF MAGILTON HAD KEPT HIS JOB THROUGH THE SUMMER­ CAN ANYONE HONESTLY TELL ME THAT HE WOULD STILL BE AT­ THE CLUB AFTER SUCH A WRETCHED RUN THIS SEASON??? NO, I­ THINK NOT.
    PUT US OUT OF OUR MISERY AND GET RID OF THE­ MUPPET NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!

  9. Or it may be a case of mass denial as to how bad the­ side really is!

    From Frederick, on Thu 22 Oct 6:14PM

  10. if you are playing as well as you say you are it will­ only be a case of when not if for the win so come on­ you blues
