Liverpool Wimps - Ipswich Town News

With Liverpool complaining about their run-in we thought we'd look back in history at a real, proper, man's run-in as endured by Town back in the seventies. As posted on the Message Board the other day here is Town's run-in from 1974/75 season.

We don't imagine Liverpool are going to have anything like the run at the end of March and the beginning of April where games were played in consecutive days and Town played three games in six days. It is interesting to note that out of the sixteen games in a month and a half Town only lost the semi replay to West Ham and we all know why that was, don't we? Gerard Houllier, stop bleating!

Ashley Lyth, one of the two Scarborough players given a recent trial at Town, signed for Leicester yesterday for £100,000. Scarborough manager Town old boy Neil Thompson sent Lyth and David Pounder for a spell with Town in February.

Lyth is a centre-half, is only 17-years-old and made his Conference debut this season. Thompson has to sell off players as Scarborough, relegated to the Conference in 1999, are in bad financial straits.
