I didn't go but have seen the highlights - for me, we look pacier, hungry and better equipped. We've built a team that we can comfortably take into the Championship given a few extra tweaks and additions. The second goal showed more tenacity and pace than we've seen for a while.
We've got good strength in depth as well. The likes of Kayden Jackson, John-Jules, KVY, Evans, Harper and Edwards probably won't play regularly but will be good options off the bench when needed.
Saturday will show how far we've come in that regard. I don't expect another 5-2 mauling - Bolton are a dark horse this season themselves but I just feel this Ipswich team have got something to prove, and far from the early-season rumblings from Cook and his backroom team, I am convinced that McKenna and Pert will have them better organised, more fluid and dangerous from the off.
That said, anything can and will happen. It's League One. |  |

Honestly, I feel confident for this season.
Was excited last year of what might be which quickly was dissolved.
But I genuinely expect success now.
Bring it on. |  |

Quite moist, to be honest. I think all our dreams are going to come true. |  |

I just think a further year of gelling and a manager who clearly knows what he wants will probably tip the balance in our favour. That said, I won't panic if we don't hit the ground running, but my mate who went to Millwall was impressed, and he hasn't been quick to be impressed with us in pre-season for a long time. | |

I think we really need a good start this year. We never recovered from last years bad one.
Fingers crossed we get a flyer. |  | | |

No worries mate.
Take chill pill/pint, if we win great, if we lose it will be a bit crap - but everyone will get over it. | | | |

16, out of 30. |  | | |

Ambivalent. Been around too long to get swept up in the annual pre-season buzz only for it to be extinguished 90 minutes into a new season. While I think McKenna is a good, competent manager, I think his lack of experience won’t get us over the line. Felt we were too weak in the final third all too often under him last season after the bluster of his arrival and I haven’t seen much in our signings to suggest our squad is better off than it was. Question is, what has he learnt that’ll prove the difference this season? | | | |

I like the way you have been quick to make a point that you think is amusing at my expense. Each were intended to be mutually exclusive but thanks for your comments. | |

He knows that you plum.
As did I.
It's a bit of light hearted jesting.
Good grief. | |

Really?.. You don't think Ball is an up grade on Carol? And you don't think that Davis and Leigh have strengthened us on the left side? On top of that, I'd say we are a bigger more athletic outfit...
Get what your saying about supporters getting over expectant, pre season. But tbf on McKenna. I'd say he's learned a lot from last years squad, and duly addressed some areas. Still a month to go on the window, too..
Yeah, he is only 6 months into his first managerial job. We should remember that and give him a lift if/when things get sticky. But he's brought in some backroom staff, some mates to bounce off of, too.. We are miles ahead of last year, imo.. (Feels that way, at least, for me)... | | | |

I see, thanks for your remarks.
I thought you were both trying to add up three mutually exclusive characteristics for a minute there, like you didn’t realise that it didn’t need to add up to 30. Your follow up point was equally witty, where you were making the point that it took me two times to get the maths wrong!!
I get it all now, how amusing. | |

Ball is the best upgrade, without question. Is Davis better than Coulson (not that he got the chance to show it here due to injury and illness)? If we’re all honest, we’re guessing and going on hype and here say more than anything else. I don’t think we’ve strengthened our front line particularly well at the moment and Harness is a down grade on Celina.
All in I’d say it’s a lukewarm foray into the market. Agree that we’ve upgraded our physicality and athleticism, which is great. We’ve got a mix of good experience and some promising young players but we’re missing a bit of craft we had previously with Celina, Bonne, Coulson and Dobra, | | | |

2 more sleeps!
I'm so excited and giddy for the first game that I haven't had time to rationally consider any alternative to a thumping Ipswich win. Morsy to score, Edwards to have a starring cameo at the end. |  |

I’m massively optimistic. I have seen enough in pre season to tell me we will be a serious force to be reckoned with. Ladapo will score plenty and I’m sure we will score plenty from other areas too. Let other teams worry about us, I’m not worried about the likes Wednesday, Bolton or Derby. Why should we be. Bring it on. ðŸ‘🻠|  | | |

Ipswich Town FC are the best team in the world, and every single other football team are absolute rubbish.
That said, I think it will be good fun. Slightly nervous cos its Bolton and they're vile, but Allardyce is under a rock somewhere, and Jaaskelainen has retired.
26k in Portman Rd will be fun.
