We have absolutely fcked this haven’t we 19:40 - Feb 11 with 45197 views | textbackup | Even a draw after pissing about going 2-0 down isn’t good enough. We were fcking top, points clear. This is an absolute shtshow, we’ll probably nick a 5th 6th place finish due to the sheer amount of sht we have left to play… but I don’t see us getting anything from barnsley Bolton or Derby, might nick a point or two if we are lucky, which really then gives nobody any hope that the playoffs will result in anything but 82726 passes then concede from the only shot or two we have against us.

People are petrified, mate. It's like Groundhog Day. They've seen this all happen before - our season fizzling out in Feb/March again. You can't get on the backs of fans that have followed the team nationwide to the hilt. [Post edited 15 Feb 2023 9:12]

We have absolutely fcked this haven’t we on 22:15 - Feb 11 by BlueForYou | I would really like McKenna to succeed & get us promoted. But that ain’t going to happen until he sorts the defence out. No messing about, he needs to bring in three proper defenders in the summer, & trade away the current bunch of calamities. Then he needs to realise this is English Division Three, & we need a tough no nonsense approach. We’re going nowhere this season. |
Never forget. |  |

This can only be judged at the end of the season. If we don't go up then we would have fcked it. |  |

Doesn’t matter what stage of the season it is tbf, all the comments were made in the midst of a poor run of form and was all valid criticism at the time it was levied and its relevance will not be altered by reaching the end of the season, promoted, or otherwise. |  |

Texters wear his heart in his sleeve and he was wrong on this thread. But he attends all the games and is a loyal fan so we shouldn't really be digging him up on this. A lot of people folded too early imo but I think there should be a board amnesty and just let everyone enjoy the current state of play. |  |

And To be fair, it was an honest view of the position we were in at that time. Nobody could have foreseen the run we are on, and how much we have improved, things were going bad back in February. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

What you're saying. A bit unnecessary and inflammatory to say 'Never forget ' and to be digging other fans out over this and coming over all supercilious. It would be nice to put the divisive days behind us. Man Texty is alright. |  | |  |

‘Nobody could have foreseen the run we are on, and how much we have improved, things were going bad back in February’. I’m not buying that at all. Results weren’t ideal, but we had injuries in key positions and were bedding new signings into the side, all at a time when our performance levels were still consistently among the best, if not the best in the division. I can’t get my head around those that watched us play and concluded that we hadn’t vastly improved, weren’t capable of delivering consistent results or thought things were ‘going badly’. Some even questioning the managers future FFS when we’re sat here in the 3rd tier with one of the brightest young managers in the English game. I’m not about digging fans out for their overreactions and don’t really see the point of pulling old threads up but let’s not forget there was still a big number of us happy to not let results dictate the narrative entirely. The progress was obvious on and off the pitch, we needed (and still need) patience. |  |

Out of interest Mach seeing as we’re now flying, if we finish third now and don’t win the playoffs, would you be McKenna out? Because there’s no denying the players have shown huge character and fight the last 6 weeks |  |

Not really, he went totally OTT on Mick as well, while we were in touching distance of the championship play offs, on a shoestring. |  |

Of course it is making him smile. He absolutely lives and breathes Town. Anyone can see that. It's sad that a thread of frustration has been bumped to basically attack someone who has been there for every year of the sh1t. The post at the time was absolutely fair. If we're crap again in 10-15 years and back to 15,000 Texters will be one of them. [Post edited 8 Apr 2023 17:52]

Cheers my man Defo went full pissed off mode… but, never wanted a change of manager, etc etc, just think I’d accepted playoffs was happening. And we’d started with such promise that it went to my head. But as it is, we are gonna win the league. So happy days |  |

Good post. As J2 says if it goes to sh*t again and the crowds dropped to Evans era times, Texters would be one of them. That alone says as much as is required. |  |

a rare example of chico getting something right:- "I hate to be the bearer of even worse news but we aren’t going to make the play offs at this rate, and I don’t believe we will & said as much the other day." and lo & behold, we're not in the playoffs. even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. well done chico! |  |

If it’s a 24hr formatted clock then it’ll only tell the right time once a day (if stopped). |  | |  |

I remember a couple of talking heads on one of the Ipswich podcasts was laying into McKenna around this time, but said, “It’s because we’re in League One. If we get back to the Championship, I’ll relax.” I think a lot of the overboard comments of the time were down to a fear that we would never get out of this league. |  | |  |

It was a fair shout. KMs average point haul since becoming manager would have seen us into a likely 3rd or 4th spot but he absolutely smashed it to turn it good. Not many doubted whether we had it in us to go on a run like that as we’d done it earlier in the season - whether we would and the new players would bed in in time was the question. Turns out the signings were gold and the rest is history. |  | |  |
