There's obviously alot of talking about styles lately, with Mick at Cardiff etc providing threads about style/results etc
I came across this and It shows town with a nice bit of passing, now Lambert could take note of this, despite the ball being played back and across, look how high up our backline is!
And yes, im very aware, this is similar to the royle years, but christ it was entertaining, 4-3 wins, 5-2 wins, sometimes a 3-4 loss. But we took games to teams.
THAT'S what town folk have been used to watching over the years. |  |

Royle's sides didn't tend to knock it around the back much. We were pretty direct under him. |  |

No i know, but when it did, we didn't tend to have our CB'S still on our 18 yard line unlike today | |

Royle’s teams started matches direct in an effort to force teams back, before going a bit shorter in order to try and dominate the opposition.
I couldn’t agree more, though. If there’s anything that defines the Ipswich “way” it’s taking the game to other teams, rather than the length of passes — it’s what we did (or tried to do) under Robson, Lyall, Burley, Royle and Magilton.
Obviously we’ve lost this ever since Evans bought the club. Keane was just dull, while Lambert plods around. I could see Dyer bringing this back. |  | | |

I don't remember a better midfield/striker duo/partnership than Miller and Pablo in my time (2001ish onwards). They loved playing together and it was great to watch for a good 6/7 years. |  |

Miller, another one who was underappreciated by a section of fans at the time. |  |

Scowy, much more a reason for our relegation than some think imo, was such an influential player, a proper target man, still surpised that we let him go for £3mill, it wasn't like he was a bit part player, he'd been heavily involved in our first year back in the prem, over 30 odd appearances that season [Post edited 14 Feb 2021 22:25]

There’s a huge difference between playing it out from the back and being stuck in you half without an outlet. We’re the latter most of the time. Same thing with going backwards. There’s nothing wrong with going back to start building again. But that’s very different from being forced backwards because you can’t create any other opportunities. People seem to muddle up those different scenarios. We don’t do possession football very well. If I was Lambert I’d give up on trying. |  |

Helps if you've got a forward who makes it stick though and wide players willing and able to beat their man. | |

Miller and Wright definitely, Norris at a push. I'm not having Leadbitter. His best 6 months came when his contract was coming to an end. | |
