City put in a woful performance at Portman Rd this Boxing Day, crashing to the bottom of the Premiership with a 2-0 defeat by the Tractor Boys.

Boss Dave Basset went loopy afterwards ranting;

"Players have got to stand up. They earn good money and have got to start taking responsibility for earning that money.

"It is just lucky that half our team aren't brain surgeons or aeroplane pilots.

"They lose and win as a team. They don't realise how important it is to the club, they don't realise how important it is to their club.

"I don't go around criticising players unnecessarily at all, but I don't see why I should sit here and defend the indefensible.

"It doesn't matter to me if I get the sack, I am not a young manager.

"If I was a young manager, I might have beaten half the team up tonight - with a baseball bat.'
