 | News Comment | McKenna: Hirst Primed For Good Season at 13:17:52
C_Jam_Blue, why so cynical? Maybe KM is giving us his professional assessment of George's preseason form and development, not trying to stroke George's ego or make any indirect message about signing another striker. I reckon another striker will come in as we can't rely on just one, no matter how fit and on form he is now. It's a long season and Ali isn't at the required level yet. |

Sentenced to 4 years in June but free to play professional football in July? What sort of a deterrent to drug smuggling is that? |

Mick did the best with what he was given. A decent win ratio despite the defensive style or maybe because of it. The standout year was when Daryl Murphy was the divisions top scores after being an average player. Credit to Mick and Terry for that. Murphy and Didzy, when fit, were a formidable partnership. It’s unfair to label Mick as a boring tactician. When given the tools he got Town scoring goals. |
 | News Comment | Chelsea Strong Favourites to Sign Delap at 12:12:43
I'm looking forward to seeing him play in a top prem side and hopefully for England one day. He is a raw talent with huge potential at the right club. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: West Ham Executed Better Than Us in Both Boxes at 09:12:24
slade1, I am sure the investors are a lot calmer and more balanced than you. They are business people who have invested for the medium to long term and would be delighted how the value of their stock has risen in just 3 seasons and very satisfied that the team made it to the Prem well ahead of any realistic schedule. If we were still stuck in Lg1 they would be pulling their hair out. No fan or investor realistically expected Town to be an established Prem side straight after back to back promotions. |
 | News Comment | Ipswich Town 1-3 West Ham United - Match Report at 19:45:54
How can people say it's our worst season ever? They must be "new fans" that didn't support the club in the dark days of Lg1 before the transformation that put us on the same pitch as Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea etc and in record time. Yes it's disappointing that Town were outplayed most games but it was to be expected as all 3 promoted teams went straight back down, as they did last year. People also forget Town's injury crisis that didn't help. At times half the squad was unavailable - Ogbene, Philogene, Smzodics, Broadhead, Burns, Chaplin, Greaves, Axel etc. I don't think it's fair to say we wasted £100m. With a fully fit squad and decent preseason, I think Town will be too strong for most teams in the Championship. We need good replacements for Delap and Cajuste. |
 | News Comment | Forest Eyeing Davis at 16:55:07
Leif was massive for us in the back to back promotions with his creative play, crosses and assists. He struggled with the step up to the Prem, but so did almost every Town player including the big money signings. Leif has admitted he lost confidence this season, not just due to the problems on the field it seems, so I for one want him to stay and get back to his best as he could be massive again for us next season. I thought he was one of our better players against Leicester last weekend. I like Townsend a lot and the two of them would ensure we have great cover and competition for that position which is important. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: Palace Are a Strong Side But We Go There With Confidence at 14:10:32
I'm cautiously optimistic if Omari and Enciso are back tomorrow. I think they could have won us the game on Monday and with them and Delap on the pitch, and Palmer in goal, I don't write Town off as many on here are doing. I am sure the players will go there believing and giving 100%, so let's get behind them and the manager. |
 | News Comment | Nottingham Forest 1-1 (AET, 5-4 on Pens) Ipswich Town at 22:50:27
Unlucky boys. Great effort. No luck again. Came out just the wrong side of a fine margin again. Hope they take confidence from this into the league. No shame in the result tonight, was a lottery at the end and Town were close to a win against a strong Forest team at their place. We were missing key players in Omari and Enciso who could have made the difference. We're all gutted to lose like that, but back the boys and be proud of them tonight. A penalty save the other way and we'd all be in seventh heaven. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: A Really Poor Result For Us, a Game That Was There For Us to Win at 20:37:35
Some of you so called fans need to get a grip. We are very lucky to have Kieran and he has got us from mid table league 1 to the Prem in 2 seasons! How can some of you accuse him of coming up short or not being good enough! Also, the owners are pumping huge amounts of money into improving the squad, facilities and to try to keep us up. Fans need to get behind the team, on bad days, not just good ones. Yes, it was gut wrenching to lose today. But Town were the better team and deserved 3 points. That's football. |
 | News Comment | Ipswich Town 1-2 Southampton - Match Report at 17:23:36
Town deserved to win. More threatening, more quality, more attacks but poor finishing. Southampton had all the luck, Town had none. Town should have been out of sight instead of relying on Muric who has zero confidence. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: A Devastated Dressing Room at 19:35:06
Some of you negative doom merchants need a reality check. At 87 mins Town were winning, and were robbed of a 2 goal cushion. The players worked their socks off and were knackered at the end. Bournemouth had quality subs to help them nick it at the death. That's no reason for some of the so called Town fans to throw a tantrum and get their knives out. Most of you seem to think you know better than our manager. Go back to your armchairs and support the team up the road. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: Bournemouth Approach Could See Open Game at 19:58:29
BrockleyBlue78 Davis isn't being dropped. Just not mentioned above. dirtydingusmagee so negative even before a ball is kicked. You just read how Kieran is asking for the fans to get behind the team as they work their socks off to try to get something out of the game. If Southampton beat Bournemouth, why do you write Town off? If we can beat Tottenham away, against the odds, we have a chance on Sunday, surely. COYB!! Prove the doubters wrong! |
 | News Comment | McKenna: We Certainly Could Have Won It at 22:19:51
Poet, what game were you watching? Delap had a great game and had the highest rating of both teams according to the BBC poll. To suggest he had a bad day, when Onana made two amazing/lucky blocks is a disservice to both players. You don't know what you are talking about and I hope Delap doesn't read your drivel. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: Any Team in Any Division in the World Would Be Delighted With Our Start at 22:03:38
Was reading the PNE forum and lots of compliments about Town including Warton PNE said: For what it’s worth, Ipswich are about 20 times better than Leicester. We’re getting absolutely shagged but they’re cracking to watch Comment: Thought Leicester would be Decent to watch come start of season but Ipswich have been fantastic there a team that's for certain Ipswich more entertaining than Leicester who have come down. |
 | News Comment | Blues' Promotion Hopes Boosted Further After Owls Draw at 23:03:12
Hugely impressive run for 6 or 7 games and some indifferent results for the rest of the top 4 have put Town well in contention if they can keep the winning mentality going. They certainly have the quality and confidence. Come on Town, you've had your blip and its time to capitalise on the points dropped around you. So close! |
 | News Comment | Moore: Chance to Go 3-0 Up Was Turning Point at 20:14:27
I think the missed penalty and the lack of the red card was a lucky escape for them and the important turning point. Sounds like there will be a retrospective ban for their dirty player. |
