Town’s most forgettable XI
at 19:03 9 Apr 2024

Inspired by seeing mention of Ben Pringle on an earlier thread - whose Town career almost entirely passed me by - I thought I’d pick an XI of players who I can basically not remember playing for us.

A lot of loanees obviously - my only rule was they have to have actually played. So no Paddy Kenny, Jason Brown of Sean St Ledger.

A lot of these were decent Div 1/Championship players elsewhere (and some even did OK for us), but they’re the kind of players I actually have to check played for us. I’ve gone for a workmanlike, snap-your-hand-off-for-a-point 4-5-1.

Other players very much welcome. Who’s been cruelly overlooked? Any centre forward options? Macken still feels a bit obvious to me.

(Also serves as a nice reminder of how good we are at present, regardless of how the next few weeks go!)

Win percentage as a fan
at 15:10 10 Oct 2023

Afternoon all.

Long-time reader, first-time poster.

I’m off work just at the minute so I have found and updated the (incredibly tragic) document I have that records every Town game I’ve ever been to.

I’ve not lived locally for a long time so since my first game back in 1996, it’s been roughly 5/6 games a season.

For stats fans:

Ipswich – 67 (26 Portman Road, 41 away)
Draw – 25 (10 Portman Road, 15 away)
Loss – 42 (9 Portman Road, 33 away)

Portman Road (45) – 26 W, 10 D, 9 L
Away (89) – 41 W, 15 D, 33 L

Ipswich goals – 210
Opposition goals – 141
Overall – 351 = 2.62 p/m
Goal Difference = +69

Yes, I know, deeply sad. But like a cat dragging in something that it’s killed I wanted to share it with someone.

One thing that struck me was the percentage of Town wins I’ve been lucky enough to see. 50%. Given I go away more often than PR this feels like a surprisingly good record. Maybe subconsciously I went less often in the really bad times - but I have so many bleak memories that this feels unlikely.

Is anyone as similarly tragic as me?

Do you have a doc that records that you were there when Shumulikoski scored?

Have you too never seen a win in your six visits to Molineux?

Something to muse on in the international break perhaps.
