Manager Paul Cook is hoping he and his players can deliver a performance co-owner Brett Johnson, who will be attending a game at Portman Road for the first time since the Gamechanger 20 Ltd takeover, can be proud of when the Blues host Fleetwood tomorrow.

Johnson is the first of the Three Lions to make the trip to England and met Cook and the playing staff face to face for the first time at Playford Road this morning.

“To have Brett over for the game will be fantastic for him but it's also fantastic for us and our supporters", Cook told iFollow Ipswich.

“It's been a long time since our owners took over and the opportunities to travel because of Covid have been really difficult.

“We know how much they've been supporting us from afar. They're very passionate about the club and what we're doing on a daily basis.

“He'll see a very passionate fanbase and a very passionate support that care deeply about their football club and are wanting success so badly.

“Hopefully, we can deliver a performance so he'll go back to America to tell his colleagues how proud he was of the team and how much he enjoyed the experience.”

ArnieM added 14:50 - Oct 22 Oh God, you just know this is the kiss of death now for a Saturday “performance to be proud of “! I hope not. Wouldn't it be nice if Town actually turned up, when they said they intend too. Fingers crossed lol!

itsonlyme added 16:09 - Oct 22 A massive thanks Brett for saving our club. You will see whole hearted support for our club tomorrow thanks to you and your fellow owners. We are so proud of this club and everything we have achieved on and off the pitch since we gained admission to the league in 1936. We have a wonderful, rich history, something that Norfolk folk are extremely jealous of. We are ITFC with the best supporters in the land. COYB.

IpswichT62OldBoy added 19:56 - Oct 22 Maybe Brett reads TWTD, possibly Brett is already a member of TWTD. Assume those speculations are accurate I thank him and his mates for saving our club, adding 15 years to my life expectancy and giving us back our pride. Suffolk, land of the rising sun.

GiveusaWave added 22:22 - Oct 22 We've been really good going forwards and just need to convert a couple of those opportunities. Toto has also made a huge difference in defence. Think we will win this one as long as we don't have another disaster at the back... 3 points right now will start to make this season much more interesting....
