Thread | IF - and I stress if - we are waving the white flag after today....
at 17:08 15 Mar 2025
....send back Kalvin P to Man City now. It hasn't worked, but we don't need to be paying a percentage of his wage if we all but relegated. Drop Davis, too, and play Townend.
Only reason to play Delap now is to up his value - otherwise I'd give Hurst a run.
And stick with whatever centre-half partnership you want for next season.
KM (or whoever takes over) has a nice pre-season over the next 8 games.
Use it wisely. I'd also send back Encisco, although we won't. Totally pointless pointless playing him now (and I don't know why he's here anyway).
Not all doom and gloom.
We'll back back soon. |

Thread | for what it's worth....

Hojlund....Zirkzee....Dorku....they cost £130m+ alone. Delap must be worth £50m+.
Fernandes was different gravy tonight. Unfortunately for us.

He has made 25 League appearances for us - 24 of those from the bench...
Without checking, against whom did he make his sole start to date?
I doff my cap to you who get it correct - I failed miserably! |

Thread | Philogene song anyone?.....
at 16:01 9 Jan 2025
(to be sung a la Micky Jackson's Billie Jean)....
Philogene. Ipswich town player.
He snubbed us once, claiming Villa the ones.
But the kid is now a Blue.

I always thought Philogene was a left sided attacker.
But we already have Jack Clarke and Nathan Broadhead.
Does the new boy play elsewhere?
Is he really what we need, regardless of whether we also buy a main striker this month?
Head scratcher for me. |

Thread | Being in the home end for away games
at 19:42 5 Jan 2025
Managed not for the first time this season to get tickets for the home end for an Ipswich game
Always an interesting experience
Same things always crop up…in no partucular order:
1) the grounds are soulless with very little chanting or hostility
2) the sense of entitlement at Arsenal/Tottenham/Fulham/W Ham is unbelievable. Plucky old Ipswich turn up from the Champo and we should thrash them 4 or 5-0.
3) refereeing standards aren’t a huge upgrade on the Champo
4) players seem so much more street smart than us. Is this a Prem thing? I’m talking about dark arts and killing games off. I think that’s 20 or so points from winning positions we’ve dropped
5) our fan base is amazing and have outsung the home lot almost everywhere I’ve been this season |

Thread | ticket ballot question.....
at 15:51 11 Dec 2024
....for those of you who have been successful in the ballot:
Is there a particular area (block) to target for a pair of tickets?
My son would prefer to be lower/closer to the pitch. I've explained to him how things are now but, for example, can you get a pair of tickets via the ballot for the North Stand?
Thanks |

Thread | January striker options.....
at 17:54 10 Dec 2024
Bleak, isn't it. But Delap is running on empty and Hurst is out for however long.
Anyone think any of this trio is worth a punt - or should we stick Szmodics up front?
Taiwo Awoniyi. Hasn't been getting a lot of game time at Forest for a number of reasons. Had injury probs in past and has lost No9 shirt to Chris Wood. 6ft tall. Big and strong. Possibly the best fit in terms of a Liam Delap replacement.
Colby Bishop. Fit again following heart surgery. Decent scoring record. Although is he too similar to Sammie Szmodics? Apparently we've been in for him before. A big gamble and, at 28, may not fit profile of McKenna targets.
Emmanuel Latte Lath. We all know about him, having been in discussions about signing him. Still young at 25. Good scoring record at Champo level. As with Bishop, however, is he the 'right' type of striker we need right now?
Foreign player? I wouldn't know where to start. Is there any team happy to get rid of a top asset in January?
If we do use Szmodics as a striker, that would give Broadhead/Clarke a chance on the left. Delap desperately needs a rest. Alternatively, stick Burgess up top and bring Greaves into the team! Our wizard from Oz can do no wrong. If Micky Stockwell can score goals as a striker, so can Cam! |

Thread | And breathe…..
at 22:02 8 Dec 2024
A lot of negativity in here tonight…but we have to take a deep breath. For me, we lost today cos of an error from our keeper and the fact we couldn’t score a second goal. Why KM is getting all this stick is beyond me. The whole ‘is Muric good enough?’ debate hides the fact that this team is brand new with new players everywhere - I’m amazed we’re not cast adrift by now at the bottom. What do you want KM to do? He has worked miracles with Lg1/Champo players to get us into the Prem. And all he has to work with now is this squad of fighters and players playing at a level probably most thought they’d never attain. I doubt we’ll survive this season but I doubt Pep G would get more out of this team than KM is doing. Sure he is not above criticism - ALL managers make mistakes but does anyone REALLY think any other boss could get any more out of this squad. We’ve just to trust the process and hope we can bring in some Prem-quality reinforcements in Jan. It ain’t over yet! |

Thread | I no longer recognise my Ipswich
at 10:38 22 Aug 2024
There, I’ve said it and I feel relieved. All these signings….back to back promotions. Wow wow wow. What a time to be a Town fan Maybe it’s an age thing, I don’t know, but this potential £100m summer splurge is, well, nuts for our beloved club. We could already field an XI completely different to the team that got us up. Yes, progress. Yes, we want to stay up. Yes, this is the Prem. It just seems a massive gamble. Even bedding in these new boys will take a while….we’re back to the Cook days when he became the demolition man. Hope the dressing room spirit created over the past two seasons isn’t destroyed by this spend. I feel for Burgess, for Luongo. Oh, well…I guess this is top-level football in 2024. |

Do any of you seasoned away travellers believe more tickets will become available? We could conceivably sell out the entire Vicarage Road end. Thanks |
