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. |  |

It doesn't matter.
Journalists have to find an angle, and they usually choose the easiest ones.
I don't think there's any agenda. |  |

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

Just another know-nothing journalist, if it’s not the PL they are clueless. 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. |  | | |

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!" |  |

What's wrong with that?
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. |  |

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. |  |

Can you all please not become those fans? It’s a slippery slope. Before you know it you’ll all be blaming Masonic refs for not getting penalties. |  |

7 points from last 6 games is nearly relegation form. I think they've gone easy by not writing the story around your Mckenna fella being in sack trouble. |  |

Wait till Ashton makes Master Mason, then we'll be fine... |  |

It does reflect how I'm feeling to be honest - albeit, I am trying to fight it!
Got my tix for Sun'lun so will be happy to see a return to form! |  |

If they wrote it differently would we gain extra points? |  |

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! |  | | |
