Reply		Whatever league next season
at 10:30 14 Mar 2024

The Paul Cook demolition job was absolutely necessary as most of the squad were no longer fit for purpose and had a relaxed attitude to the job in hand. That decision was given even more credibility when many went to Colchester the following season and flopped there too.

This time is different though.
We have a decent squad with a great squad attitude with many premier ready players.

We must also heed the mistake that helped put Ipswich in trouble years ago.
George Burley had done a magnificent job in getting us to 5th in the top division.
The following year lots of new faces were brought in and they failed to gel quickly enough so we were relegated.

So please not too many changes!

Reply		Comparison Spur/Ipswich - Conte/Ange to Mick/McKenna
at 12:03 1 Feb 2024

This is so true Garv.

Sometimes coming away from Portman Road after a 1-0 win under Mccarthy the supporters would discuss what they were doing that week instead of talking about the match they had just watched.

I know we can't always win + entertain but continuous boring football is just mind numbing and was reflected in our attendances.

We are so lucky to be where we are now.

Viva Mckenna !!!

Also worrying was the Maidstone manager saying " we knew Ipswich's limitations".

Curious to know what those limitations are.
Obviously they are widely known.

Could it be that we play high so are easily get caught on the counter or is it that we can't breakdown teams who park the bus.

Great match and great result.

Terrific atmosphere from both sets of fans.

Great win and then they play that god awful song Ebenezer Brown ......

Totally kills the atmosphere.

Or am I alone in this?

Reply		Kyle Edwards set to leave ITFC
at 15:52 11 Aug 2023

Shame cos I really liked Kyle Edwards. He was electric and got you off your seat.

He was also a fun guy, always laughing so good for the dressing room.

As another poster said he doesn't suit McKenna's style.
McK. prefers to get through the opposition by passing to the man in space rather than dribbling through.

Given that it's best the Kyle moves on and gets games.

Best of luck to him.

Burns is an interesting one.

He was there today but as you say he didn't get any minutes and as far as I know is not injured.
Did a few autographs but stopped unlike Burgess and Broadhead who went round the pitch.
I'm also told he didn't get on the team bus afterwards.

If anything is going on I would be sorry to lose him as he's quite a character and a great player but he would fetch quite a price so maybe ITFC are tempted.

Reply		Squad as it stands
at 11:15 18 May 2023

My guess is there will be about 10 players moved on and I think the midfield will be strengthened heavily. Probably about 5 experienced coming in plus a couple of youngsters.
More than I thought at first so it could be another busy summer for the recruitment team.

My thoughts :
Leigh - decent back up but may want more game time.
Ndaba - chances limited
Baggott - Maybe stay on loan
Evans - Ok but Luongo has raised the bar so better quality required now
Ball - Never let us down but older so KM may want younger
Camara - Seems ok but Its not worked for him
Harper - League 1 rather than championship player
El Mizouni - loan or transfer.
Harness - Good player but may want more game time
Edwards - Love him but again he may want more game time
Ahadme - Hasn't really worked out
Pigott - Good player - could get some money back
Yengi - bit of an unknown t me so not sure

Whatever we do I can see a back to back promotion on the cards.

Good times.

Reply		Statue
at 18:48 1 May 2023

Always think Millsy is overlooked and as you say wouldn't it be great to give somebody a statue in their lifetime?

He still lives in the area and is a regular on BBC Suffolk's football commentary.

He was our ever present captain during out most iconic times , FA Cup , EUFA Cup , First Division runner-up: 1980—81, 1981—82 and Second Division: 1967—68.
Not to mention he's an MBE and England International and captain.

Surely he's due a statue at some time. Why not while he's alive!

Thread		This is what we wished for.
at 09:46 16 Apr 2023

Myself and others took flak and the doubters said be careful what you wished for.

Well yesterday was exactly what we wished for.

Owners that care and take the club forward. (Gamechanger v 'absent' Evans)

A progressive manager (Mckenna v 'died in the wool' Mccarthy, Lambert)

A team that drives forward and a solid defence (Luongo, Morsy, Woolfie v 'Sideways' Skuse and that other loser Chambers) that keeps going until literally the last minute even if they are winning comfortably.

and above all hope and excitement for the future.

The futures bright. The futures blue and white.

Reply		No freedom for Charles Bronson (n/t)
at 18:39 31 Mar 2023

In his latest bid for release he faked a relationship with his "son" for six years and him and his "son" did a very convincing documentary.

This was Bronsons idea and he hoped it would gain him publicity and sympathy (which it did).
The"son" in fact was not related and was a paparazzi photographer who made a mint.

I thought originally they should transfer him to an open prison but on hearing this it would appear I was wrong and he was still trying to con the authorities which means he will never come out.

I was at that game. If I remember rightly it was pouring with rain and although I had a season ticket me and my buddy weren't keen on going but my dad wasn't going to let a bit of rain put him off.

He was right. What a match.
Taught me never to let the weather get in the way of a match.

As to the Leeds game it was the easily the best away atmosphere I have ever experienced with the Ipswich fans singing loudly all the way through.
Even a few oldies made it in (Remember the old Ipswich Town anthem Keep right on the the need of the road?)

Good times but they will be back hopefully ....!

Agree about the number of analysts.
If the BBC reduced the number of analysts maybe they would not have to make BBC combine BBC Suffolk with BBC Norfolk etc.
