So where do people think we will now finish in the league? 20:56 - Nov 5 with 2798 views | BigDaddy | 11 games in, with a break from the league. I think 3rd. We have strength in depth and Hawkins has solved some of our issues up front, I don't see any sides better player for player than ours when fully fit. Just think we may bottle it against fellow promotion rivals. Still not fully convinced with lambert. For me, Peterborough and Charlton will go up automatically. Maybe Sunderland instead of Posh, but no one else. We will definitely be top 6, but feel we will fall short, just short, of top 2. |  | | |  |

8th? Based on what. Genuinely interested. I don't see us going out the top 6 all season. As average as lambert is, he should learn from some of his mistakes from last season. Any of us could get this tram in the top 6. |  | |  |

So where do people think we will now finish in the league? on 21:23 - Nov 5 with 2175 views | Nthsuffolkblue | We would finish now in 5th on ppg. However, I am not sure why the season is finishing now. I predict that we will finish 8th if all continues to the end of the season and that is because I currently feel pessimistic that we cannot get it right against the better sides and we will not continue to win virtually all of our games against lower sides. I hope I am wrong. I think 3rd-6th still represents failure, although if it resulted in promotion via the play-offs I would accept it. My bigger fear is if we were to get promoted, what are our chances of staying up again? |  |

If we go up, it would be via the playoffs IMO. We have a team who could compete in the championships, maybe a few more quality signings. If teams like Luton, Rotherham etc can be competitive, then so can we. If we went up, I would expect us to stay up. Not saying we will win the league but I'd expect mid table or lower mid table. |  | |  |

Where do you think we will finish? From what I've seen this season, Peterborough look a class side as do charlton who look brilliant. Sunderland look well organised and there are a few other good sides. We were unlucky at Sunderland with the referee. |  | |  |

8 better? Whilst I respect your opinion, from what I've seen, only charlton look better and posh who sometimes fall away. No way can I see 8 better than us in this league. All opinions I guess. |  | |  |
So where do people think we will now finish in the league? on 21:46 - Nov 5 with 2061 views | Oldsmoker | With the Town2000 YouTube video still fresh in my mind, I would be confident of finishing 1st if we had a player with the determination and leadership that Jim Magilton showed in the Bolton game. We don't, so 4th or 5th. |  |

Ipswich's results against sides higher than 9th in league 1 in reverse order: This season based on teams currently top 8: 1-2 0-1 Last season: 0-1 0-1 0-1 0-1 1-4 0-1 0-0 1-1 0-1 1-1 0-0 0-2 1-0 (Fleetwood, finished 6th, 5/10/19 the last time we beat a side that finished 8th or above that season) 2-2 1-1 On league form that would be 9 points from 17 matches. And these are teams that are generally not good enough to be in the Championship. We are currently much further than a few shrewd signings away from being a solid Championship team (much as I would like that to be true). That is worse form than we had when Keane or Jewell went. I would hazard a guess it is far worse than Hurst left us too. Even more worrying the trend is getting worse rather than better. We are currently on a 8-match losing streak and a 14-match winless streak when looking at these sides. EDIT: Before researching this I hadn't appreciated just how bad this is. We are a million miles away from being even a struggling Championship side right now and that is utterly depressing. We can't even explain away most of those results with the lack of Norwood, Downes and KVY. [Post edited 5 Nov 2020 22:03]

Whilst I don’t disagree that most ppl on this board could get this team into the top 6.....unfortunately none of the posters on this board are in the hot seat currently. So 8th. |  | |  |

I've only just seen this thread and am genuinely confused! I assume he's changed his avatar since starting the thread - what with it saying Portsmouth n' all. And also added the signature too! |  |

I have to say I am outraged to even be asked the question. If Phil and gav look at the logs I have been logged in on this username for hours and I have a very confident hunch the changes were made using an IP address I have never used. My alibi is watertight and I resent being asked then insulting questions. |  |

Maybe, but not a good leader. He's shown signs of being a bit of a fanatic in the past and I wouldn't trust him not to have anyone shot who disagreed with him. |  |

Christ, that's some bar you set there. I was hoping for maybe play-offs. Top 2 I doubt very much. |  |

That’s based on twenty years of trauma. |  |
