Can Young be used in an attacking role?
at 12:09 13 Aug 2025

He certainly was earlier in his career, and last night he was the only one that showed any genuine quality. Right now, I'd stick him in on the left ahead of Clarke tbh.

Have we become a long ball side?
at 11:03 11 Aug 2025

Not a criticism, but I did notice last season we were more direct than the last time we were in the Championship. Understandable, given that we were a little out of our depth.

But on Friday, I couldn't help but notice that was the case again against Birmingham.

I was expecting this season we'd be more possession based, given we have superior players to the majority of the league now, but still seemed to be a case of playing it around between the centre backs and keepers, then getting it to the full-backs who pump it long to Hirst.

Will be a little disappointing if that is now our tactic, given the quality we've got.

Some positives...
at 00:13 9 Aug 2025

Seen a fair bit of negativity tonight, and not all unwarranted, but I think there are many positives we need to take here.

1) A good away point against a good side
2) Limited them to minimal chances
3) Kept going to the end
4) O'Shea and Greaves looked pretty solid
5) Matusiwa showed some good passes and tackles despite the negativity
6) Humphreys looked neat and tidy
7) Hirst battled well up top
8) Palmer untested
9) Szmodics looked sharp
10) Good to see Ogbene back out there
11) 50% possession against a team that dominates possession
12) Fairly even xG
13) No red cards when there easily could have been
14) Came from behind
15) Ashley Young was very calm and composed
16) Chaplin and Broadhead still have loads to offer
17) Johnson and Davis largely untroubled
18) Al Hamadi offers something on the right
19) Top of the League!!
20) We don't have to go there again for at least a year!

Broadhead gone?
at 11:46 6 Aug 2025

Seen a post circulating on social media that appears to have been leaked from Nathan Broadhead's dad's private Facebook page. It looks to be a cryptic post of Broadhead's career with photos of him at various stages in different club shirts. The final image is a picture of him in a Wrexham shirt as a kid with the caption "Now".

Not sure how legitimate, but sounds like he's gone...

Brentford in for Trossard
at 14:36 4 Aug 2025

I noticed today that Brentford have made an approach to Arsenal for Leandro Trossard. I wonder if that spells the end of their interest in Omari Hutchinson?

The full journey of Ipswich's FA Cup opponents so far
at 13:27 12 Feb 2025

I was interested to track our opposition back to the early preliminary rounds of the FA Cup this season, and it made for interesting reading.

Coventry 1-4 Ipswich
Ipswich 3-0 Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers 3-1 Weston Super Mare
Lowestoft Town 1-3 Weston Super Mare
Lowestoft Town 3-1 Haringey Borough
Witham Town 1-1 Haringey Borough (Haringey win on penalties)
Witham Town 1-0 Sheringham
Derham Town 1-3 Sheringham
Sheringham 2-1 Woodbridge Town

Really interesting to see the full journey of the tie, and just how local it actually began.

Probably would be quite fun to pick a random non-league team next season and follow the journey all the way to Wembley!

Striker
at 14:08 26 Oct 2023

I reckon in January we'll bring in a top-top striker on loan (with a view to signing permanently if we make the Prem).
