BBC reporting with a totally impartial approach... 11:15 - Jan 2 with 2966 views | hoppy | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67818351 The narrative is interesting... "Ipswich's winless run continued as they laboured to a goalless draw with Stoke" "Second-placed Ipswich are now without a win in five matches and have scored only once in their past four games." ...or with 1 defeat in 9 matches, 5 goals in the last 6 matches "Stoke, meanwhile, remain unbeaten under Steven Schumacher, having won one and drawn three of their four matches since he took over." "Ipswich's poor run has enabled leaders Leicester, who beat Huddersfield 4-1, to extend their lead at the top to 10 points." 4 draws, 1 win, 1 defeat - 7 points from last 6 games. "Stoke, meanwhile, have looked solid under their new manager - this was their second clean sheet since Schumacher took charge and they are unbeaten in six matches in total." - 5 draws and a win against Birmingham - 8 points. 6 goals in the last 6 matches Yes, I know, compared with how we've been doing this season up until recently, it's dipped a bit, but thanks to that start, we're still second in the Championship table, which is amazing compared to where we were even this time last year. I'd have taken just 3 defeats and 16 wins at this point if offered it. |  |

Ya, i think it helps illustrate the fact we didn't capitalise and Stoke have new manager bounce. |  |

He probably didn’t even realise we were in League One last season. I made the mistake of looking at the comments and it’s just full of tedious Budgie trolls. Completely hijacked - total sad sacks. |  | |  |
BBC reporting with a totally impartial approach... on 11:26 - Jan 2 with 2746 views | Nthsuffolkblue | I don't think it is an unreasonable take. Isn't it great to be 3 points clear in second place when we are on such a poor run! Gone are the years where we were in Stoke's position reading a report like that and thinking "that team has gone off the boil, we are now on a run, let's fight our way to 6th place (some 11 points away) or at least overhaul the budgies who are only 6 points ahead of them!" |  |

It was tedious enough seeing Plymouth fans whinge about not being given enough positive attention and bang on about 'narratives' last season - not sure there's a need for us to go down the same path. |  |

BBC reporting with a totally impartial approach... on 14:05 - Jan 2 with 2180 views | Swansea_Blue | It probably the obvious angle. Stoke needed to tighten up, so a 0-0 against a team in 2nd place is a good result. We have laboured lately and are struggling to score and so this mini-run is poor by our standards so far this season. |  |

Yes, that average would put us approx 6 points behind Nodge's actual points total for the season to date. It's always good to exclude good periods of points and just use a period where a learner period starts! |  | |  |
