This is how I feel. But within the space of, what, one month, I've gone from believing we're top-two material to thinking we're top six at best. And then I think of what we were like pre-Gamechanger and I wonder whether I should be moaning about anything at all. Sadly, however, 'that' League 1/Champo team had run its course. A new chapter begins. |

This:
'......there is a responsibility and values vacuum that is hard to quantify. Maybe others can step into that but it’s asking a lot of players that have not been part of the recent ‘journey’ and have not been at the club very long.'
Very well said. No one on here could have put it better.
And it is exactly why we'll do well to instantly bounce back up. Fingers crossed it happens. |

....which is working SO well at the mo. We're at our most disjointed attacking-wise since McK joined.
Incidentally, who would your front 4 be? |

Well, yeah....the loss of whose two clubs stalwarts HAS made it more difficult.
Walton isn't our first choice keeper, while Burns is recovering from a serious injury.
So apart from Leif I'd argue we don't have anyone in the dressing room who has any kind of connection with the club or fans. |

is now a monumental task, but not impossible.
Good luck, McK.
I posted in here a while back about my concern over a lack of goals in the squad - only to receive a number of downvotes cos my opinion didn't fir the narrative at the time (it seems you can't criticise anything MnK or Ashton-related in here).
For what it's worth, if Chappers follows Woolfie out of the door, I think Burns is our most experienced Town player (140-odd IT games) followed by Leif (120?). And then you've got the likes of Hurst and Walton (60-odd games each). We're no longer Ipswich Town, we're Strangers United. I felt the same during the Demolition Man era.
I hope this chapter ends with a similar promotion.
And we expect this lot of newbies to just click?
That's gonna take some waving of a magic wand.
But looking at the positives, we have bought well - albeit a number of great individuals.
I just hope there's a team there....at the mo, I can't see it.
Cue more downvotes..... |

How many loans can we have?....
I'd break the bank and go for, cough, Raheem Sterling
Or Reiss Nelson
Or Luis Sinistera
Or Arsenal wonder kid Max Dowman |

Thread | how do we line up with Akpom and Azon....
at 17:22 14 Aug 2025
assuming Hutchinson leaves, can someone with a bigger brain than mine give me their starting XI with the players we have?
Is it
Palmer
Young O'Shea Greaves Davis
Cajuste Matusiwa
Clarke Akpom Philogene
Hirst
Is Akpom a starter? I don't think we bring him in, with his pedigree, to keep the bench warm.
I assume Clarke will move to the right - as he did in pre season - when Philogene is fit.
Which means just two (Hirst and Davis) remain the XI from the double promotion seasons.
Wow.
And does anyone reckon we'll be announcing Hackney on transfer deadline day? [Post edited 14 Aug 17:22]

We do have a load of attacking options.
I'd be interested to know how many of those players you think will better what they did in 23-24 (taking away Ogbene? |

No. Is that wrong?
I can't see all of them hitting the heights they did for other teams.
That's my fear.
Sorry if not everyone agrees with it.
Surely you also have to take into account how many games they've played together - in the same team - at this level?
A big ask, I'd say. |

So my point still stands - even if you feel there's no point to it.
We need the aforementioned players to repeat what they've done before.
I can't see it. Should I change my view to something positive because that's what I believe?
I don't understand these posters who moan about other people's posts if it doesn't agree with their narrative.
Perhaps all the posts should go through you and then you can select which ones to put on here.
ALL views are welcome. |

....we scored 92 goals. If Omari now leaves - and good luck to him if he does - we are gonna need some stellar attacking replacements or players having a fantastic season, which, of course, is possible. We'll need, say, Ogbeni, Clarke, Szmodics, Philogene, Chaplin and Broadhead to be contributing close to 10 goals, while Hirst will arguably need to step up, too. Can't see it happening in terms of us being top two right now. All of that can change with the right incomings. |
