‘May want to rethink that one’ – These Ipswich fans react to latest Paul Lambert decision

Ipswich Town exited the FA Cup last night and despite winning their first game in the competition for years against Lincoln City, will not be in the third round for the first time in over a decade.

They’ve now played four fixtures in this year’s competition, coming back from 1-0 down against Lincoln in the first game and seeing a penalty missed by Tyler Walker, being held 0-0 throughout the replay until a late goal snatched a win. They then drew at St Andrew’s with Coventry City, necessitating another game at Portman Road.

Jordan Shipley and Maxime Biamou gave Coventry a 2-0 lead in the first half which effectively ended the hosts run, although Luke Garbutt’s late consolation gave them a glimmer of hope. It wasn’t enough and Ipswich can now concentrate on the league, which is what Paul Lambert seems to have been doing all season.

He’s used the cup competitions to rotate his squad, even the prestigious FA Cup. Whilst promotion may well be the top priority, fans do want to see some excitement and progression in the premier cup competition and that’s certainly the feeling amongst supporters responding on Twitter.
