He was at the game with his son who is Burton fan. There was nothing overly juicy so thought it was safe to share his thoughts which can be summarised as:
- loved his year at Ipswich, genuinely a fantastic club to be at
- had a great relationship with Lambert and could really buy into his vision
- sad that he didn’t have any fans attending during his time at Town
- linked to the above this also took away the fear factor of Portman Road to away teams who fancied their chances every time they visited an empty PR
- knows how much impact vociferous fans can genuinely have (can have opposite effect when negative noise) but Town fans do make PR an intimidating place to go
- thinks we were well set for promotion in his season but there were two big issues - no fans and no fit forwards - Norwood was often injured, as was Jackson which meant we had Drinan as our sole striker for some games. If we had a fit striker and stadium of fans he thinks the season would have panned out very differently.
- Cook came in and made it clear that he was looking at a different ‘age profile’ which he was fine with.
- Was well looked after by the club as a player with a family living up in the Midlands.
A nice bloke happy to chat, his best years were sadly behind him when he joined us in an uninspiring season. |  | | |  |

My first thought was that this was about Stephen Ward, the osteopath at or near the centre of the Profumo affair. I'm glad it wasn't. |  | | |

Nothing against SW but we would still have had Lambert and therefore promotion was never on the agenda. | | | |

Did it turn out that Lambert HAD a vision beyond 'con the boss into giving me a new contract'? |  |
