Comment | Ten Stand-Out Moments in Ipswich History
at 10:42:21
What a brilliant blog. For a follower of Town for 60 plus years & having the books I recall so much of what you relate.
I think of Bobby as the nearly man & often talk about 74/75, 76/77 & 80/81.
Always thought 81/82 Liverpool won because they went on a terrific new year run of something like 14 wins from 15.
The other seasons we lost out because of lack of depth of our squad

Comment | Goodman: I've Been Nothing But Complimentary About Ipswich
at 18:24:18
Sky didn't expect us to do well, hence we has to wait until the end of October before a second live game.
Town never been a favourite of the media. In 62 the London press didn't like it because we topped their beloved Spurs. Jimmy Hill ( of MOTD)never complimented the Robson team. He played with Bobby at Fulham.
In recent years the media up the A140 & particularly bbc look Norfolk have continued to ignore us |

Comment | Town Set New Highest Average Home League Attendance Record
at 17:50:31
For someone who remembers the 70s well, This was the season we signed Mariner & if we hadn't lost Beattie at Easter to the fire incident we would have won the league.
Surprisingly the attendances in 80 81 was less.
Also it was standing only in front of both the west stand & then Portman stand |

Comment | Season Tickets Sell Out
at 11:47:34
The seat next to me has been empty for the majority of the season. When I asked the club they advise allocated to a club employee, who clearly isn't using the seat.
This is such a shame when so many supporters can't get a seat |

Comment | Leicester and Leeds Drop Points
at 14:56:50
When will the so called national media pundits realise that football is not played on paper. Last season Plymouth who were the 2nd best team in the league out pointed us. To me it is clear that Leeds & Leicester are better teams than Town but maybe we might do a Plymouth on them |

Comment | McKenna: We Didn't Hit Our Usual Levels
at 15:29:24
The annoying thing is that this lot ( an average Championship side) have beaten & drawn against us this season. On Monday Southampton looked a far superior side as did West Brom earlier in the year. As said to games against the Budgies don't define our season as long as we remain in the top 2 |

Comment | McKenna: We Didn’t Defend a Couple of Moments Well Enough
at 09:32:38
Hindsight is a fantastic thing. Over the past month or so our substitutes have worked to our advantage. The opposite happened as no doubt we needed an additional defender or midfield if not both.
How Cardiff penned us back into our own penalty box is a mystery. But if you allow the opponents to do so the result is obvious & the warning was there when thy missed a sitter minutes before they scored

Comment | The TWTD League Calculator 2023/24
at 17:12:31
As said football is played on grass not on paper. If you could predict the leagues ending then I suggest doing the lottery.
My philosophy is take every game as they come |

Comment | Foster: A Tough One to Take

So ironic that our first & crucial goal was a deflected own goal. This against the team who last season scored so many similar goals |

Comment | Town Visit Plymouth Aiming For Five in a Row
at 07:22:05
I to have the fear of their attacking force / vulnerable defence & our recent record against them But I feel that Steven Schumacher is a big loss to Argyll.
And as long as we don't concede first it could be our day |

Comment | Palace Reportedly Fail in Move For McKenna
at 09:37:59
It is clear that Ipswich & Mckenna are going places, hopefully together.
Palace wouldn't be a wise move as their history proves. There is no way he will leave us for South London.
On the Robson topic Bobby was a sort after manager and did agree to join Everton. But changed his mind at the last moment because of his loyalty to the Cobbold family |

Comment | McKenna: Another Game We Feel We've Done Enough to Win
at 11:11:06
A lot of comments about the amount of goals we are conceding. I know it's a tougher league than Div 1 , but last season we had one of the best defensive records if not the best.
Difference maybe the goal keeper |

Never nice to be placed in this position.
But correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this the player who left ipswich at the end of a contact. Offered a new deal but decided to go for more money on a free |

Comment | West Brom and Millwall Games on Sky
at 09:26:56
Our wonderful start to the season caught Sky out. Showed Sunderland as they expected a tanking. Otherwise we would have more games already.
I agree our record on sky although better still isn't great.
Wonder how Bobby's teams would have faired, but even then Town nor favoured by bbc |
