Reality check ! 17:38 - Sep 21 with 598 views | stiff_talking | We are only 9 points off Liverpool. It’s great to be back in the Premier and we are getting points on the board and growing as a team! Ipswich fans should be enjoying it. There are a few people posting negative comments on our own players. I’d like to see those individuals play at Premiership level and we get a chance to judge them ! |  | | |  |
Reality check ! on 17:58 - Sep 21 with 518 views | GeoffSentence | Next week we play Villa, which means that 5 of our 6 opening games will have been against the current top 8. tough start, and tougher than we may have imagined it might be. Once we have a home game or two against teams who are not in early season form, I reckon we will start climbing. |  |

"tough start, and tougher than we may have imagined it might be." I imagine it's about as tough as should have expected? Perhaps the hope would have been that Brighton had appointed badly, or Hurlezer needed time to set up the squad, but in reality I imagine the most optimistic would have seen us having a chance of beating Fulham and Southampton, the realistic perhaps a draw against Fulham and win v Southampton, and the pessmistic five losses. From a personal point of view, today is maybe the first game of the season where I feel we've dropped two points rather than gained one, though the manner of the equaliser dilutes that somewhat. |  |
