I hope he said to Bacuna, Vaulks, Pack in particular thar they can forget about playing again this season as they were embarrassingly bad.
I hope he picks a selection of youngsters in their right positions but he is a stubborn manager - as Ipswich fans will testify.
Why did the club give him a 2 year contract? If he doesn’t improve results or performances in the last 6 games (2 of which may be against already relegated clubs) then he may get a call from Tan to say ‘thanks for keeping us up but the fans can’t put up with next season.’

Remember this was a team that was bottom of the league at the start of the game and had lost something like 8 of the last 10 games and we managed to make them look like Barcelona.
Hopefully this is one of those times where what he says to the press is far different to what he says in the privacy of the dressing room. It was clear that Harris had lost the dressing room when he started blaming individual players during interviews for mistakes and I'm sure that Mick is far too experienced to do anything similar.
On the other hand sometimes it needs to be pointed out by the manager that the performance from players and management team was badly lacking in all aspects.
We know what we saw Mick and it was unacceptable from first minute to last against a team that clearly wanted the points far more than we did.
So please cut back on the bullshit.

Fickle is an understatement for some of the comments on here, we lost, we got thrashed so did Chelsea vs relegated WBA the other day... it happens
Do we struggle without Mozza?... of course we lack that leadership on the pitch, hence why he’s the captain...
Are we weak in certain areas... of course if we weren’t then we’d be top of the league...
Perspective is important, a few months ago we looked destined for league one now look where we are, Mick has done a tremendous job but throughout it kept saying it’s a different story when you lose a few and peoples opinions soon flip to the negative. so perhaps instead of commenting some of rubbish I’ve seen on here it would be really refreshing to in place of doing what he predicted we would that we dust ourselves down, accept we took a kicking that we weren’t expecting and back the club through thick and thin.
We got Blackburn next a decent team in poor form. We might lose heavily, we might draw or win marginally we may even thrash them my point is does it matter? our position in the table is amazing when you consider the Harris half off the season so who the hell cares, let’s just get behind the manager, the team and try and enjoy the rest of the season.
And scrap the picture of Mick pulling a stupid face

Careful.
You aren’t allowed to say anyone is fickle.

“Sheffield Wednesday were very very good today.”
"It was a humbling experience this evening, that's for sure," McCarthy began. "The first goal set them up with a bit more confidence than they would have done, with where they are (in the table).
"Having watched it back we should have defended it better, lets put it that way, that's disappointing.”
"If we play like that we can forget about the play-offs.”
"The second goal, I'm not sure what we can do to stop that, to be quite honest with you. Maybe stop it at source from the throw-in? But they've worked it well. The cross from the wing back and the finish from (Callum) Paterson; well it was an amazing goal.
"The third one, I'm disappointed we gave away the free-kick away, but again, nothing Dillon (Phillips) can do about it.
"I thought we started the second half well, we've had a couple of scrambles and couldn't score and we've been punished for throwing men forward and they've caught us on the break twice.
"But they were considerably better. Being 3-0 up certainly helps, but it was the worst performance we have had since since I've been here. And I imagine it's the best Sheffield Wednesday performance all season."
The Bluebirds were 5-0 down before McCarthy made a substitute, prompting many to question why he had left it so late.
But the manager said it was because he wanted to see a reaction from the team he originally selected, because he thought those XI players could win the game.
MICK McCARTHY:
"Yeah, there was (temptation to change earlier), but my message at half-time was the team I picked, which I thought was the best team for the game, I wanted to see a reaction from them, to be quite honest," McCarthy added.
"To be fair, I thought they had (reacted). Then at 5-0 down I made the substitutes, I gave Kieffer Moore a rest - I wouldn't be taking him off normally.
"That was the reason. When I've picked a team like that, I don't think... I don't think they played badly.
"We got done with goals that were almost unstoppable and then we got a bit disjointed.
"But I wanted to see a reaction from the players that started the game."
Cardiff have now won only one game in their last six, losing their last two.
It has come at the worst possible moment, with Bournemouth, Barnsley and Reading all having registered wins earlier in the day.
And with the latest defeat up in Yorkshire, McCarthy believes that all play-off hopes have "probably" evaporated.
When asked if it was too tough an ask to break into the top six now, McCarthy replied: "Probably. We'll just keep pecking away. We will keep trying to pick up points.
MICK McCARTHY:
"It wasn't so much a disappointing performance against (Nottingham) Forest, just a poor result. It was both tonight.
"If we play like that we can forget about the play-offs.
"But if we can play like we did in the first five, six, seven, eight games, who knows?
"But eight points adrift? Look, it was never in the conversation when I turned up. We got ourselves into that position.
"Teams have looked at us now and think 'These are a threat' and they've had to play better against us.
"Sheffield Wednesday were just very, very good, I thought."
