We need fullback cover
at 11:01 30 Jan 2024

Hopefully when we get Gallagher through the door we need to address our fullback situation. Working on the basis Williams is going back to Manchester United we will need cover for both left back and right back. Due to squad size I think we would need to deregister Donacien as is he realistically going to be fit.

Plus you can't expect Harry Clarke to remain injury free when he is being managed through his achilles issue.

Could Yengi be the answer
at 19:58 31 Dec 2023

As we are currently short of strikers I know he didn't do too well in his last loan in Finland but surely he is a better bet than the 18 year old. He is a big physical lad I don't think it would harm to have him on the bench. I assume he is off as he wasn't in the squad at QPR.

I see clubs are releasing their retained lists. I wonder when town will release theirs. To be honest it won't be too much of a surprise who is going.

Cobbold stand redevelopment might be coming sooner than planned
at 21:56 2 May 2023

Listening to Ashton's interview at the end of season awards he mentioned they need to look at the capacity. Makes me wonder whether they will accelerate the redevelopment of the Cobbold to keep up with demand.

I wonder how our inbred canary friends up the road think of our success this sea
at 19:47 30 Apr 2023

I would be interesting to see how they perceive this and whether their is genuine concern among the fan base that we are going to do a job on them next season. If I were them I would be sh***ing myself us making them look like a bunch of clowns, and thus restoring the natural order.

Who was the first player we ever signed from a non-British or Irish club?
at 23:12 17 Aug 2022

I was perusing the Ipswich v Coventry City league programme from the 1977/78 season and in the programme it mentioned that on July 27th 1936 we signed Scottish right back Bob Thomson from Racing Club de Paris (86 years ago) when we were in the Southern League.

Surely he was the first?

ITFC Natasha Thomas on having to work full time even though she is pro player

BBC News - Women's football: 'I'm a pro footballer but I have a second job'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-62386612

There was much made about town having full time players but this seems like smoke and mirrors. You can understand why the club has failed to attract any players in the summer. What's the point being a pro but still having to work full time it's counter productive.

I think the club needs to invest more in players contracts which when compared to the men's team would be a modest sum.

Tete Yengi
at 23:17 19 May 2022

I have seen Yengi has been finding the net on a consistent basis since his loan move (albeit in the Finnish premier League) but he seems like a striker that would fit perfectly in McKenna set up. The lad is a tall, strong and fast who appears to have a decent eye for goal.

Hopefully the loan move could give him the kick start he needs.

Also good article about the lad here as well.

New Indoor Arena Coming to Ipswich - Impact on Ground Development?
at 12:36 12 Apr 2022

So today I received a Conservative party Flyer for l the May local elections and in part of their drivel they usually out in one interesting thing stuck out which could have an impact on any future Portman Road development.

They propose to investigate the feasibility of a multi use music and sports arena with a large capacity on Princess Street which the current council wants to build a multi story car park on.

I don't know whether this would have a positive or negative impact if they would look to redevelop the stadium.

Thoughts?

So who to depart before the window?
at 10:53 26 Jan 2022

I think we will see more outgoings than incomings between now and the end of the window.

Players out

Piggot (loan)
Simpson (loan)
El Mizouni (loan)
Harper (loan)
Fraser (loan/sell)
Nolan (release)
Holy (loan/release)

Going by what McKenna say post match last night I wouldn't be surprised if Jackson was kept on until the summer.

In term of incomings, I think maybe another center half and that would be it or a left back if Coulson doesn't start making progress.

McKenna it looks like then
at 15:42 16 Dec 2021

This is the first appointment of a town manager / head coach where I simply cannot get excited about. As much as I want him to succeed and be truly successful at the club I have this lingering feeling he won't last very long and I suspect we will have another manager by the end of the season.

I do hope I'm proved wrong.

The least the club should do is fully refund every away fan yesterday

After that cluster f**k the club should be refunding every away fan yesterday.

Like other posters have suggested I doubt the US owners will be over unless we have a new manager appointed before Saturday which I doubt.

Why can't our fans have nice things?!?!?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the US owners won't turn up on December 18th

If there is no new manager appointed (who I think btw will be a 'big' name such as John Terry even though I think the bloke is a wretched human being) by the Sunderland game I suspect the new owners will use covid as an excise to not come.

Why would they come over when it's so blooming toxic at the moment and it's turned so quickly this is really worrying.

Yes the performance tonight was not acceptable and the fans behavior after the game is a disgrace but we should be bigger than that surely? Have some class people.
