I revived an old superstition from ITFC in Premier league.
When we played Liverpool I ate Everton mints.

Shame because to me O'Shea and Greaves were not upgrades on Woolfy and Burgess although they were ok players.
Should have got more minutes and would wonder why he would stick around. |

Reply | Most important area to sort
at 13:06 2 Apr 2025
I agree with others. Its midfield that needs sorting.
They have over run this season and too often play sideways or backwards.
Sammy will be ok in the championship but not for the premier league the following year(?)
Cajuste has patches but not sure.
Taylor has not stepped up unfortunately and was struggling against the better championship sides last year.
Phillips has too many injury issues.
So at least 2 needed including attacking midfielder if possible with a shot (Oh Warky where are you?!) |

Me & my buddies were locked out. As we were walking home it sounded like the most exciting match ever. I was amazed when I found out it was 0-0.
At the Filbert Street replay it was non stop noise.
Even sang Keep right on to the end of the road at one point!
Replay at Filbert Street was Town versus Clive Thomas. What a plonker.
Shame because we would have won the final that year against Fulham. |

Our previous transfer windows have been spot on but this one, Delap excepted, has not been good with no major upgrades on what we already had.
Possible exceptions too are O'Shea and Greaves but note sure they are any better than Woolfy and Burgess.
The rest are just not up to this level.
What's worse is that we copied Burnley and replaced our tight group with too many new players and are about to pay the same price as they did.
Not sure Luongo and Harry were up to this level but most of the squad might have been so I thought it only needed 4 players as per the previous windows.
As Mick Mills said tonight its a nightmare keeping that big a squad happy. |

Good summary Cheltenham Blue.
On the songs front the library chant was particularly embarrassing as it was true.
Understood the Bristol Rovers flat atmosphere but last night just never got going in a possible win match. |

I have said for ages we need an attacking midfield player.
A Son , De Bruyne, Declan Rice type player.
That way we could spread the danger to the opposition. |

Reply | What was that extra "security" all about last night??
at 10:55 17 Jan 2025
Queues were silly again last night with airport style security.
Having to allow much longer to get in.
Surely they also have to replace the doddery creaky old turnstiles with tap and go style as part of upgrading the ground in the summer. |

After being outplayed in the Newcastle game and looking at the other teams around us I sadly think we will go down (in third place from the bottom) together with Leicester and Southampton.
Dyche will get Everton winning ugly and strong.
Wolves are getting the new manger bounce and looked good yesterday.
It is a possibility that Crystal Palace may start to drop places so that could help.
We have been very unfortunate not to win a few more games (Fulham, Aston Villa, Brentford, Bournemouth come to mind) but it hasn't happened so we are where we are.
I will never the less continue to keep behind the team and manager and am so grateful for the journey so far.

Sadly a lot of our players are single footed.
For example have you not have noticed Lief is left only and Sammy is right only?
They often rotate their whole body in order to kick with their favoured foot.
Personally I would love Kieron to make two feet a criteria of future Ipswich players but football is stuck in the myth that players can only have one foot. |

Reply | Where's Wolfy?
at 16:36 13 Dec 2024
I think he's behind in the pecking order now.
For me he's had a hard knock as he was solid at the start of the season and was Prem ready.
I'm not sure O'Shea is an upgrade as he's a good blocker but has poor distribution.
It would be sad if Woolfie moved in January. |

Reply | Burgess and O'Shea outstanding
at 16:18 9 Dec 2024
Burgess was outstanding and fought for his shirt but O Shea (and Johnson) were over run by Bournemouth's classy left side.
His distribution is weak and we were told he was fast but he does not show that when faced with faster opposition players. May be work in progress.
For me he is not an upgrade on Woolfenden and Woolfie should be given more opportunities. |

Reply | Players with a weak foot - so right!
at 17:24 1 Dec 2024
Couldn't agree more FrimleyBlue.
When I was a young right winger my teacher temporarily put me on the left wing and told me to practice with the other foot. Result was me happily kicking with both feet.
Confuses the heck out of me why modern coaches cannot train players to do this.
So many players , even in the premier league, have to cut back, change position and waste chances. Also not sure why defenders don't try and keep them on their weak foot.
(Unless they are as good as Arnie Muhren with one foot!)
One footed players should stay behind and have special training !! |

Brian Clough once said if one of my players is not interfering with play he should not be on the pitch.
Totally agree.
Of course he interfered. Mad decision
We should get back to offside pure and simple and take out the ambiguity. |

Same with BBC and Football focus.

Some of these programmes should be renamed The top 6 hour cos that's all you see. |

At first I thought this programme was a spoof.
Police in fear in case Ipswich don't score against Port Vale.
Twenty thousand supporters may turn ugly.
I'm sorry what ????
Maybe that policeman thought it was the seventies again and he was reliving his youth.
So glad that (apart from him) Ipswich police take a more adult softer stance. |

Thread | Statue for Mick Mills ?
at 10:05 31 May 2024
Slightly odd timing with all that's going on but I keep thinking it would be nice to do a statue of a legend while they are still alive so who better than Mick Mills?
He's number one in appearances.
Captain for the FACup and EUFA Cup (two of our three shirt stars).
Was also 1st Div runner-up 80–81, 81–82 and 2nd Div champion 1967–68.
Also the first Ipswich England captain and MBE to boot.
Still analyses the Ipswich games and does a lot of foundation work.
Wouldn't it be nice? |
