Reply | Town’s most forgettable XI

Alex Henshall!! Players that you forget for a forgettable XI are truly the most forgettable.
Fryers one of so many full-backs. Clegg, Karbassiyoon, Wabara. Does anyone connect Liam Rosenior with us?!
Fish so bad he was memorable, for me. |

A solid trio. Welcome to the club.
Gerry Creaney another, and unsure if Axeldal/Gudmondsson deserve something like cult status just because it wasn’t every day we had a European striker.
David Whyte? Andy Legg? George O’Callaghan? So many keepers, Stephen Henderson?
Brekke Skard always welcome in my team. Dawkins - apparently - played twice, though I wonder if he’ll even remember it. |

Thread | 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!)

Also keen if for any reason LB27 doesn't work out.
LB27 - if by any chance you only wanted one ticket, I could get by with just one and would happily pay. Thanks. |

This is brilliant. I like the additional stats and now keen to add them to my record.
Hope that never losing against City record becomes relevant and remains the case next season. |

This is such a brilliant blog. I love it. So true re the memories. Thanks for sharing.
Ah, I thought my win percentage was pretty special but yours being so similar having seen so many more games suggests that’s not the case!
I’m up to 53 of the 92, and it’s reflective of our status that I’ve got a fair few Premier League grounds to tick off. |

Three wins from three at Ashton Gate though so happier memories there!
I grew up in the Midlands but don’t have a particularly good Town record at any Midlands grounds, except Pride Park and the Bescot.
I don’t make too many trips to PR so I won’t curse the current good form but 7 points from 9 for me on the road this season! |

I was lucky that I got started years back, but I must admit I can’t be sure it’s 100% accurate. My Town ticket purchase record says I was at a 1-0 loss at home to Palace in 2011 but I can’t remember a second of it.
Would recommend trying to piece together what you can, I found it very nostalgic. Also it really re-emphasised the fun element of being a football fan, the memories etc, especially in the context of how special it is right now. |

That is a lot of games! And a brilliant record.
Can you see which player you’ve seen score the most? Scowcroft and Darren Bent for me, at 12 apiece. Shout out to Tommy Smith who’s up in joint fourth. And Josh Carson, because I witnessed 66% of his Town goals.
That app sounds great, I’ll have a look.
You mustn’t be far off doing the 92. |

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. |
