The keeping for Hirst’s goal and the defending for Clarkes were pish poor
Other than that they reminded me a bit of us at times
The second goal knocked the wind out of them but the 3rd absolutely KO’d them which might explain the powderpuff defending for Clarke’s goal. Really poor (from Godfrey I think I was) as they’d rolled over by then |

I think the McAteer signing has all the hallmarks of a McKenna inspired signing.
Good age, experience and very good physical profile for the role he will be asked to play in this system. Reminds me a bit of when we signed Hirst, underwhelming in terms of stats but was an excellent fit in terms of physical profile and McKenna has got a tune out of him and McAteer looks like the long terms replacement for Burns, so a few more weeks and months we will hopefully see some more consistency and better decision making etc. |

Looks more like a training top to me. Probably because of the badge which doesn’t quite look right in my opinion, looks like a kids version of the shirts.
I think our best recent kits were our L1 promotion kits. All 3 were good, we certainly haven’t managed to better the home shirt from that season.. this seasons is far better than last seasons offering though |

Is the KOA podcaster Ross? If so, he’s pretty consistent at getting names wrong so probably went for the safest option. He couldn’t pronounce Sarmiento to save his life (Sarmiento) and I’ve heard him call Furlong “Forlung” too many times already. Got himself in middles pronouncing Hladky quite a few times as well.
Do agree though, we could do with it being cleared up.
I’ve heard pronounced ‘wall-a Egg-a-Lee’ which is how (in my head) it should be pronounced… until I’m corrected obviously |

I would hazard a guess that everything is signed and sealed and he’s a registered Ipswich Town player
Given the 2 signings yesterday evening the club might want to give this one a bit more ‘air time’ and the Media team will be plotting something a bit ‘extra’ to go live for Friday evening peak social media traffic
That’s what I’m thinking anyway.. the club didn’t want this signing to be lost or watered down by the Furlong of Azon signings |

Next three Home games could give us a chance to gain some momentum..
Derby
Sheff Utd
Portsmouth
All three have had indifferent starts except Sheff Utd who have been very poor. I’d hope we atleast remain unbeaten from those three |

Clarke played predominantly on the Left Wing for Sunderland (or atleast that’s how I recall it)
Interestingly Phil O’Gene played predominantly on the right hand side for Hull. That said I think he played of left for England U21s and has stated previously that’s his preferred role.
Competition for left side, but ultimately both Phil O’Gene and Clarke can operate on the right as well |

I really liked the multicoloured (very jazzy patterned) training tops and jacket. The blues, greens etc. that looked like a 90’s bus seat.
Missed them in the sale and seen them for sale on eBay and Vinted for over £30+ still. |

In my simple mind. I think we’d struggle to find a better 3rd choice striker given the costs involved in signing strikers. Kone valued at £5m for example.
AAH joined us injured, contributed (in this division) with some valuable contributions from the bench.
Had his surgery, then played last 5 or 10 minutes against the likes of Liverpool and Citeh (matches were over and we barely touched the ball) and impossible task to get ‘match fit’ after an injury having been playing L2 just 12 months earlier.
The lad may never play above championship, but there’s enough there to suggest he’s worth keeping around for another year at least as trying to replace would be both expensive and a risk |

I’m in my Mid 30’s and have a fairly eclectic music taste but generally centres around Indie, particularly 2000s indie…
But I’ve found myself listening to a lot of Olivia Rodrigo. There’s some mopey teen love songs which I’m less fond of, but some songs really remind me of 90s girlband pop rock and find myself listening to it far too often for a man of my age. |

Purely speculation based on not a lot, but he’s supposedly available for a decent fee (not signing a new deal at Sheff Utd where contract ending soon)
Boro and Burnley named as interested parties, but expect there will be others (possibly us?) I seem to recall his name mentioned a couple of seasons ago as a player we were interested in.. though not sure how genuine that interest was
His record since then hasn’t been spectacular, but good age, pedigree and physical profile with point to prove |

Kulesevski was in full kit with his leg in a brace.
Pretty sure it’s UEFA who are enforcing this.
Maddison has played enough matches in this years competition to warrant a winners medal |

The Fulham away fixture feels like a real ‘sliding doors’ moment in my mind.
Jack Clarke puts that effort in the bottom corner rather than against the foot of the post we get back to back wins and (from memory) move up to 16th. Instead we concede late penalty and draw.
Pretty sure we had a pretty awful run of results immediately after that. Felt like we could have built some momentum |

Reply | Is that four players now who’ve scored in
at 22:34 2 Apr 2025
I recall earlier in the season a stat that only 10 players had scored goals in all four professional English divisions.. and that 4 had completed the set by scoring a goal for Ipswich in the Prem this season.
That was Smodz, Taylor, Morsy, Chaplin. Not sure if there has been any since |

The midfield is genuinely a concern next season. Morsy, Luongo, Taylor and Humphrey’s are the only players contracted for next season and Morsy & Luongo will be moving into twilight of their careers and Humphrey’s isn’t really tested at that level.. in fact Taylor wasn’t a regular in our promotion campaign.
I can see us spending money on that area and would expect us to show some interest in Ben Sheaf again. Not sure on his contractual situation and obviously if Coventry go up that poo poos that, but would be a natural successor to Luongo or Morsy in my opinion |

I expect he will want to go (assuming we’re relegated) and will be gone
It’s a World Cup year and he’s put himself very much in the conversation of getting a call up. Only Kane, Watkins and Solanke realistically ahead of him for the centre forward role.
If it was this summer and there are any injuries or drop of form for those 3 then he’s on the plane. He won’t want to miss that opportunity |

Reply | It is our signings that have
at 09:28 15 Mar 2025
I sort of agree with a couple of those, particularly O’Shea as I didn’t think we needed him(especially for that money) but you have to say is he better than Edmundson as Wolf has still played and Edmundson left to allow the squad place, so the answer is yes
Greaves is a top player, we can have 2 top players for that role as Burgess hasn’t ever really let us down.
Clarke & Phil O’Jean are players bought for the future, not the here and now.
I do think (and thought at the time) we’ve overspent on those players, particularly O’Shea & Muric mainly because I’m not accustomed to Ipswich spending any money but the sad reality is that is probably the going rate. Muric has been the standout failure, but there are redeeming factors and long term potential on pretty much every other signing |
