at 13:25 6 Feb 2023

And in one of them an Ipswich player will get a hat-trick.

As it's deadline day....
at 15:39 31 Jan 2023

...a day of missed opportunities and shoulda, woulda, coulda...I got thinking.

Ipswich have had plenty of players that have been set to be legends in Blue but for one reason or another never quite worked out. The nearly men.

It made me think...Gio Dos Santos is always held up as one of the best players we saw play for town in recent years but he only pulled on an Ipswich shirt 8 times. Just 8 appearances.

Went on to get 106 caps for Mexico though and 19 goals.

So what about a town 11 of players who could have made it big time here, but never quite stayed long enough. Max amount of appearances 10.

Mark FIsh with his solitary appearance, but over 60 caps for South Africa.

There must be a pretty decent team of nearly men out there...come on...I've put down 2! Anymore for anymore? 11 can't be too hard to find!

Looks like a son trying to stop his dad getting into it with some lads who asked if he used his bus pass to get down the pub.

Not even sure Celina gets in this team...

...as a regular starter. Would have loved him back at the start of the season but can't say I feel dissappointed he's not here now. It'd just be another player to accomodate.

Freddie or Hirst to start v Camb Utd?

Freddie's shirt to lose at the moment for me.

Be interested to see how strong KMcK goes against Burnley in the cup.

I've stayed away since the final whistle blew on Saturday.
at 23:20 22 Jan 2023

But I've come back and feel ok.

We need a win. I believe we will get one against Morcambe.

I don't know if we'll get top two. It may well be too much of an ask.

But over the next few games we are going to turn a corner and momentum is going to gather apace.

Let's enjoy it. Being in League 1 sucks. But we'll get out of it sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

Let's just support this exciting young manager we've got. Let's support this talented team we've got. They need it. Overall they deserve it.

It ain't over, until it's over.

...from the club, but when you look at the kid's reaction to JD and JD's reaction to the kid you can't help but think what a top pro and all round good guy he is.

Other players may be better, but I always feel he's the soul of this team and the blueprint for the kind personality KMcK and Ashton are insistent the club emploies.

So Saturday...
at 10:57 18 Jan 2023

Plymouth v Cheltenham

Sheff Wed v Fleetwood

Oxford v Ipswich


Got to assume PA and SW are taking 3 points a piece. Lovely if they don't but those games look very winnable.

We really need to beat Oxford. Good test of our nerve.

Now the dust has settled from Saturday...

How are people genuinely feeling?

Personally, bizarrely for me...I'm still quietly confident.

I can't help thinking if this is a our 'dip' then it's not that terrible a dip.

I'd argue Plymouth and Sheff Wed will have their's too.

I think we start a winning run now and we'll reel them in.

But what's everyone else think?

One thing we haven't done as often...
at 16:37 10 Jan 2023

...as I would have expected this year, despite being the leading goalscorers, is hand out many proper larrupings.

Putting 4 past Rotherham felt like one, and we put 4 and 6 past Buxton and Northampton respectively, but in the league 3-0 is our biggest victory margin.

I'd love to see do someone 5-0 as we have it in us.

Wouldn't it be lovely if it was this weekend?
