Comment | Leicester Thrash Saints to Go Four Points Clear
at 19:16:05
It’s been a wonderful season and hopefully we can get across the line for promotion.
I think the season is beginning to take its toll on a few and results have tailed off a little.
It’s a shame we lost George Hirst as Connor Chaplin hasn’t been the same since. They knew each others game well and as a pair were extremely hard to contain.
I like Kieffer Moore but we had to change our style to fit him in and we haven’t quite been so effective since.
It will be very hard for whoever finishes 3rd as it will be a massive disappointment for them and hard to lift it for the play-off’s.
In reality I think it could be 3rd v WBA as I think the Budgies will nick 5th.
If we are still in the Championship next season we must try to go again with a few new faces.
I just hope we can hang on to our Manager and most of our squad.

Comment | Manchester United Targeting Town Academy Schoolboy
at 13:16:09
Linkboy13 I fully agree with you.
I’ve been slated in the past but what do we get from our academy?
Not many of our current excellent squad are from the academy.
We spend lots of money enhancing young players but our first team seldom benefits from it.
The attraction of Man Utd is obvious but is he really going to get a game?

Comment | McKenna: Hirst Progressing Well
at 15:04:17
That’s good because I think we have missed him.
Since his departure our method of play has changed somewhat to understandably anccomodate players that are available.
We have done really well with the adaptations made but his George’s well timed runs behind defensive lines are very much missed.
I hope George does become available before the end of season but if not certainly in readiness for next season. |

fully agree number8. Players can be carded after the game finishes. Unless things have changed since my involvement with local football clubs, the referee is in charge until he leaves the ground.
I have seen a player being sent off in a bar after a game in the Anglian Combination league a few years back. |

Comment | Ipswich Town 2-1 Coventry City - Match Report
at 11:24:24
BlueWax, I agree it was quieter yesterday. I guess the fans can sometimes have off days as well as the players can. Having said that it was freezing spectating conditions and that possibly didn’t help.
The Coventry fans certainly made some noise though which considering they were losing the game was quite impressive. |

Comment | Ipswich Town 2-1 Coventry City - Match Report
at 08:06:02
Excellent to come out on top in a difficult game. Coventry won’t be in the bottom half for much longer. I thought they were one of the best teams to come to Portman Road this season. Managed by a very experienced and fair minded manager, so this really was a good result.
The quality of both goals we scored speak for them self.
It will be interesting to see how Kieran will want to strengthen in January. He is hard to read.
For me I would like a couple more defenders. That won’t be easy though as whoever comes in will need to hit the ground running and be comfortable with playing the ball out from the back on a knife edge.
Also although highly unlikely I would like us to try and get Jamal Lowe from Swansea. I think he could really add strength to us.
PS from my view point, although the Coventry player went down easily it was a clear cut penalty.

Comment | Jackson: There is Plenty More Improvement to Come

Very well done Kayden, you came through some dreadful times at the club but you stuck at it and never gave up.
Being honest I was critical of yourself and pretty much all of our players at the time. That was born out of pure frustration and boredom with what I saw as a long suffering supporter.
In hindsight I can now see it was basically the ownership and management that failed us.
I am really pleased that you are doing well for us. Your contribution should never be underestimated. Whilst you do not play as many minutes as you would no doubt like, you make an impact and offer something different to help the team when you do play.
It’s great to read you are settled in Suffolk too. The best county in the country but I guess I am biased being a Lowestoft lad.

Comment | Murphy New Man on Portman Road Mic
at 21:49:43
Strange decision, replacing a pretty much like for like person. No disrespect to Foz and Mark but we need a fresh approach. Our club is growing fast in many ways but the attention to detail with the likes of pre-match activities should not be overlooked.
The pre-match chats have become repetitive and lack imagination. Also the pre-kick-0ff and entrance music needs freshening up. None of what we currently have fire the crowd up.
Should perhaps learn from the likes of Cardiff, Leicester and Crystal Palace to name but a few. |

Comment | Warne: Disallowed Goal a Massive Turning Point

Forget his Norfolk and Norwich links, Paul Warne does speak well and made some respectful comments which must have come hard given his natural instinct to dislike Ipswich. Fair play to him. |

Comment | Ashton: New Pitch is On Track
at 13:49:14
Should be a really nice surface to play on.
Just for interest does anyone know the depth the undersoil heating pipes need to be?
Also if we have a safe standing area I guess there is potential to increase our capacity to over 30k again |

Comment | Ashton: Away Fans to Remain in Cobbold Stand Next Season But Discussions Ongoing
at 15:47:48
Don't let them in at all.
Joking aside the Eastern half of Sir Alf Ramsay Lower May work.
Sorry to potentially offend current season ticket holders but getting visitors in and out of Sir Alf lower could be easier for the Police.
Change is needed though as away fans should be nowhere near the centre of the Cobbold stand. It really is unfair on the season ticket holders there and quite intimidating too I would imagine.

Comment | Ipswich Town 4-0 Forest Green Rovers - Match Report
at 19:37:52
Important and comprehensive win against a very poor Forest Green who are sadly out of their depth in league one.
The early goal was key to a comfortable afternoon as I cannot recall anything of attacking note from the visitors.
Chaplin and Broadhead were a cut above this afternoon. |

I think he is spot on and in fairness he usually is. I think he is doing a good job at Bristol as he did at Fleetwood. |

Comment | Ipswich Town 2-2 Sheffield Wednesday - Match Report
at 20:52:36
A scrappy start to the game as we found it difficult to string passes together which given the ridiculous and unnecessary huge number of team changes we had once again was no surprise.
Unfortunately we have built a large expensive squad and one that our manager is struggling to identify what would be his strongest starting eleven hence the constant changes.
Today for a time our team looked like a bunch of strangers.
Need to stick with eleven and give them a run. Barring injury or suspension this should be possible.
Until that time we shall be inconsistent results wise.
It looks like play-off's at best so promotion could go either way.
If we do not go up this time there must be pressure on the management. Season ticket sales could actually drop given the financial state our country is in coupled with what's likely to be an increase in price on what we currently pay. I don't think the owners would settle for lack of progress for too long either. |

Comment | Town Rebuff Hull Edwards Approach
at 12:38:51
Reminds me of Bersant Celina, can be anonymous for long periods but has the ability to win a game with a flick of a switch. Kyle will never be a 90 minute player but is a good squad player.
Probably best to keep him given that we are not short of money. |
