Another fantastic win. Dare we dream that on Tuesday night we could be level on points with Leicester? Hopefully the blip has come & gone and this winning streak can continue. COYB. |

. Another great deserved victory. We need to keep thus going like last season. Leeds might not wobble but Leicester might as Saints have & we need to keep pressing them all the way. Maybe not having to play in the F A cup this week will play in our favour. |

Comment | Stevenage 2-1 Ipswich Town - Match Report
at 20:10:13
Went to the Stevenage match. Lots of misplaced passes, poor touches & not much going forward, especially in the first half. But in reality, only Walton, Morsy, Broadhead & Hirst will start against Sunderland I expect and Morsy, Broadhead & Hirst were our stand out players. It was a very disappointing performance & I never thought I would say I went to Stevenage and watched Ipswich lose but I am not too bothered about what happened. Plus to be fair Stevenage played very well and showed some quality at times and forced errors especially from Edmundson & Baggot.
Tuesday will be a real test and perhaps show where we are if McKenna plays his first 11, bar those injured. |

Sick, so had to listen to Radio Suffolk today.
Great fightback but I am with Mick Mills, subs made at the wrong time. It sounded like we had them for the taking & then McKenna changed things and in the end it sounded like we were holding on. These endless changes are not necessary & disrupt our flow. If players are not fit to play 90 minutes then don't start them! We have a big enough squad to play 11 fully fit players. Today the subs put a stop to our pressure & that was that.
Hopefully I am fully fit for next Saturday to see us stuff the might Forest Green Rovers. |

Disaster today but the players let us down more than McKenna. Clark, Keogh & Edmundson played well together recently but today, just not good enough. Morsy & Evans are our first choice midfield pairing but today just not good enough. Burns & Davis are our best wing backs but today just not good enough.
But if McKenna had not started with any of them and we got this result, what would we all be saying?
McKenna did try something different for the 2nd half and we got better but again we lost our way as the half petered out.
The players need a rocket from the manager, sure but some of them really need to start earning their pay when they are out on the pitch.
Tuesday gives McKenna the opportunity to try something new. We are serious underdogs so why not change it up.
Go 4 4 2 with Ladapo & Hirst up front, Humphreys & Luongo in midfield with Edwards on the wing with Harness or Chaplin or even dare I say Jackson on the other side. And then Wolfy & Burgess & Janoi & Leigh.
Just need to give it a real go. |

Great performance from us, considering who we were playing and the number of changes from Tuesday.
Good to see that some of our fringe players can hold their own against Championship opposition.
The replay will be tough but we were millimetres from a win today so another top performance and who knows and a possible top team in Round 5 could really gee us up COYB. |

I love football! I hate football!
But this is the reality of supporting your team.
Disappointing result but it is not the end yet all.
There is still a long way to go.
We need Broadhead & Hirst to shine & turn chances into goals and I, for one, am hoping that will turn the table round.
On current form Sheff Wed & Plymouth don't look like slipping up but the horrible facts of football are that happens quite often especially when the pressure is on, which is what both teams have at present.
Still keeping the faith for a top 2 finish.

Comment | McKenna: More Good Things Than Not in Second Half, But We Missed Chances We Shouldn't Miss
at 19:23:56
Kieran we need another striker. There is an obvious gap that needs filling.Langstaff from Notts County will be worth a punt in January. He knows where the goal is. That was the issue today. Creating chances in the 2nd half 10/10. Finishing 2/10.
The likes of Davis, Harness, Edwards & even Jackson today managed to get balls into the box but we lack someone who has the natural instinct to convert those chances.
Against teams like Lincoln who play so well defensively that is what makes the difference.
Trusting that Kieran gets it sorted.

Comment | Ipswich Town 0-1 Lincoln City - Match Report
at 18:59:37
The first 20 minutes were the story of the match. Lincoln hunted in packs to start with and we had no rhythm going. They scored 5 minutes later and their game plan was coming to fruition. They then just needed to keep their shape, which they did and that was that.
I had hoped that like the Cambridge match the subs would turn it around and I thought Edwards had a good 10 minutes but then faded and Jackson looked lively too but the lack of a decent striker on the bench is killing us.
But we are still 2nd and it is only October.
Hopefully the lads will be fired up to put Derby to the sword on Friday. |

Comment | McKenna: I Really Liked the Way We Responded to Defeat
at 22:32:30
We are all living the dream at present & KM has given us real hope with the team he has built and his approach to every match. But we have to be realistic before we start thinking about naming stands. Football has changed dramatically since the days of Sir Alf & Sir Bobby. If we get promoted and have a good first season back in the Championship, how long before a Premier club comes calling? KM has said he is committed to Town and I believe he is, but in reality if Everton or Villa etc come calling in a couple of years, what will he do then?
Hopefully we will be up there with them by then but if we aren't but knocking on the door, it will be a tough call to make. |

We badly need some players who can find the back of the net. It does seem we have a half decent striker on the books, but he is playing a blinder for Portsmouth apparently.
That has to raise some questions about the coaching and the formation at ITFC. |

Comment | McKenna: It’s Already Pretty Fixed in My Mind What Needs to Be Improved in the Summer
at 20:15:39
Sadly the way we play has become as predictable as the Lambert & Cook days. Other teams know what to expect and seemingly adapt accordingly as in the Lambert & Cook eras. Whereas we seem to stick with a rigid system that just hasn't been working of late. Really hoping McKenna can get in a few players that suit league 1 better than some of the lightweights we have now. |

Comment | Town Recall Simpson From Swindon Loan
at 16:44:04
The fact that we are willing to loan out Harper & El Miz but recall Simpson must surely mean that McKenna has plans for him. Simpson has proved himself as a good old fashion centre forward and that it seems, appeals to McKenna more than players like Jackson & Pigott.
He has had a few weeks with the squad now and perhaps he feels neither of those two are good enough to bring on for Norwood or Bonne if he plays them both up front as the "Bash brothers." I think he wants another "Bash brother" and why look for someone elsewhere when he has a perfectly good CF playing for someone else. |

I agree with many on here that say the boss probably learnt a lot about his first choice 11 today.
The reality is that footballers have "off" days. Our squad do tend to have those too regularly but that is what the manager needs to see.
Norwood & Bonne have been on fire but today they just didn't really get going. However I remember matches when Mariner and Brazil had those matches too.
They will come good and I expect we will see a better performance next week.
In the meantime McKenna has another week working with the squad and possibly strengthening it too.
With teams like Plymouth, Portsmouth & even Sunderland struggling to get consistent results I am not writing off 6th place yet. |

Comment | McGreal: Atmosphere Like the Premier League Days
at 19:39:56
Good match, shame we couldn't win, but hopefully the new manager can see the potential.
Glad JM played a more attacking freer formation, this will suit us better going into the 2nd half of the season especially if Coulson gets fit.
Need 16 wins from the 2nd half of the season, which does seem unlikely, but not impossible.
Still holding on to that glimmer of hope. |

Comment | McGreal: Really, Really Poor First Half, the Inconsistency is the Crux of It
at 07:12:30
Another night going to bed angry. Fed up of this now. It is pretty clear some of these players are not willing to play for Town. Morsy, Carroll, Nsiala, Jackson, Kane, Penney Pigott made no effort at all.
Sadly I think our new manager is stuck with a bad bunch and I still can't see much more money being made available in January, unless we can off load some of the dross.
We needed a miracle to resurrect this club. I thought that came with Gamechanger but now we need another one.
Sad times. |
