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 |

Reply | how do we line up with Akpom and Azon....

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 |

at 09:33 15 Mar 2025
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 |

Reply | I would nick Sainz and Sargent
at 09:05 15 Mar 2025
Sargent will be playing in the Prem next season or moving onto a decent European league. That is if he can keep fit between now and the summer.
Good age, good pedigree and they spent close to £10m for him 4 years ago. He’ll be moving on to bigger places than we’ll be next season.
As for any of their other players, I think we could find (and afford) better players in the football league than go knocking on their door for anyone |

I’ve thought for some time that there could be a new rule implemented:
Any side that gets relegated with less than 25 points should be ineligible to gain promotion back to the Premier League the following season.
My basis was to stop the likes of Naarwich, Burnley, West Brom, Sheff Utd yo yoing up and down and offering almost nothing when in the Prem, but I think there’s a strong possibility none of the bottom three get close to that points tally. |

Thread | McKenna
at 14:37 4 Dec 2024
Has and forever will have my upmost trust and faith. One thing that I’ve always said sets him apart is his balance between his ‘principles’ and his ‘ability to adapt’ as he’s continually made minor changes to patterns, shapes etc. over past couple of seasons to keep us competitive, whilst still playing largely the same way with the same philosophy.
That said, a lot of matches this season we’ve made subs that are ‘like for like’ in terms of positions and we don’t ever really look to go far from the 4231 when we’re at home and ‘having a go’ (this could be down to personnel)
I do wonder if or when (if ever) McKenna may look to transition into some other systems. We’ve seen Johnson & Tuanzebe utilised effectively to give us options for 5 at the back out of possession, so there are tweets that have and can be made to the 4231 to make us competitive for specific opponents and threats
I’m not advocating the ‘2 up top’ mantra but I do wonder if McK will have a shuffle and possibly use our wide players wider or put 3 in midfield at some point |
