Thread | The Jealousy
at 14:19 5 May 2024
Love seeing all the comments on social media from bitter fans of other clubs expecting us to be "one and done" in the Prem next season.
The same sort were saying the same thing this time last year about us in the Championship, and while our two worthy competitors who were promoted with us narrowly escaped relegation, we soared to the autos.
And that is the nature of our ownership group and, of course, our manager, and our players.
We are different.
We are dynamic.
We respect the challenges and work hard to understand and address them. Gamechanger 20, Ashton, McKenna- they are young, aggressive, infinitely capable and have crafted an organization and a team unlike any other. And our fans have supported and celebrated them, pouring fuel on the blue flame.
At Ipswich Town, our aspirations are not just to compete. Our aspirations have always been to succeed. And to succeed sustainably.
We are not a blue rose that blooms for us to marvel while it lasts, but a blue rose at which we marvel BECAUSE it lasts. "Ipswich will fade?" Anyone who says that simply hasn't been paying attention.
So, to all those who underestimate the resolve, the determination, and the genius of Ipswich Town, we say: you ain't seen nothin' yet.

I did. That's who.
Just wish I'd put the house and retirement fund on 'em. Ha.

Thread | We'll be Hull City's 3rd match in 8 days, as we rest for 2 weeks
at 14:48 14 Apr 2024
Our next match will be Hull City's 3rd in 8 days.
They have 2 away fixtures before we arrive, including a 300-mile roundtrip to Coventry on a Wednesday evening prior to our match the following Saturday.
They have no choice but to go all out in each of them to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Meanwhile, we'll have had two weeks of rest and recovery.
At the end of a gruelling season, that would seem huge advantage for us, baked right into the schedule.

Thread | Why all the changes?
at 18:45 13 Apr 2024
Certainly, changes must be made for injury, but with just a few critical games remaining, we have changed up to half the outfield side, game by game, at discretion. And you can see the effects on the pitch, that we are missing that innate sense of awareness and understanding that comes from being out there with a bunch of guys you instinctively know are going to be in particular places doing particular things. Ipswich are more than the sum of our parts, unless we scramble them all up.

Thread | April Blues Day
at 23:43 1 Apr 2024
April 1, 2024, is a date that will live forever in ITFC lore, with an appropriately unbelievable result. Today, we’ve turned April Fool’s Day into April Blues Day. |

This is like a replay of last season.
How many points do you think will it take for the autos? |

Thread | Leicester have four away matches in a row
at 18:45 2 Mar 2024
Including the FA Cup, Leicester have 4 away matches in succession. All 3 Championship fixtures are against sides in or near the upper half of the table (Sunderland, Hull, and Bristol City). This could be an absolutely epic run-in. [Post edited 2 Mar 18:47]

Thread | A sloppy mess
at 17:59 17 Feb 2024
Conditions were so sloppy, it’s tough to come to conclusions about the quality of play. Certainly not a lot of free-flowing football and many of our passes went to invisible players. We held up well, though, despite the scrums 🎉 and sogginess. |

Thread | 5 goals on 5 shots on goal over the last 2 games
at 17:31 3 Feb 2024
Our opponents have had a grand total of 5 shots on goal over the last two games (Cup game and this one) and scored 5 goals (granted, one was an own goal).
Meanwhile, we've had 63 shots over that span and scored only 3.
One would be inclined to believe we're still on the right track- just hitting a patch of extreme misfortune. |
