Burnley manager Owen Coyle threatened to wield the axe after his side crashed 3-0 to Ipswich for a second successive Coca-Cola Championship defeat.
All did not go well for the home team prior to kick off at Turf Moor when a member of the Parachute Regiment crash landed on the roof of a stand instead of the intended target on the halfway line, causing a 50-minute delay to the kick-off.
And own goals from Graham Alexander and Stephen Jordan, plus a Liam Trotter strike, meant the day only got worse for the Clarets.
The result left Coyle frustrated by his team's defensive display.
"We never took our chances but conceded soft goals and if it means a change of personnel until we get it right then that's what we'll do," he said.
"Ultimately, I'll take responsibility as I picked the team but I wouldn't have envisaged conceding goals like that.
"Goals change games, there's no doubt about that, we were in control of the game and had three or four chances but we shot ourselves in the foot.
"We need to roll our sleeves up. There is plenty of effort but we can't continue to give away goals."
When the game did eventually get under way it was Burnley who had the better opportunities with veteran Ipswich goalkeeper Richard Wright producing saves to deny a header from central defender Clark Carlisle, two strikes from close-season signing Chris Eagles and a further header from winger Wade Elliott.
But it was Ipswich who took the lead after 33 minutes as Burnley failed to clear a corner and midfielder Trotter swept the ball past Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen with the aid of a deflection.
Ipswich extended their lead five minutes before half-time when Alan Lee's cross was turned into his own net by right-back Alexander.
Not even a double substitution 10 minutes into the second half by Coyle threatened to bring his side back into the game as Ipswich striker Alan Lee twice went close to extending their lead, only to be denied on both occasions by Jenson.
The scoring was completed three minutes from time with another piece of comedy defending as left-back Jordan headed a free-kick beyond Jenson.
After last week's home defeat by Preston, Ipswich manager Jim Magilton was happy to see his side register their first points of the season.
"It wasn't a classic but it was important for us to get off the mark," he said.
"We took our limited chances and stopped them playing. It took us until Christmas to win away last season so that's progress.
"Defensively we were fairly solid and when we were positive we looked half decent, but we didn't control the ball enough at 2-0 up."
