Can I just say that I’m pleased for those of you who go to Portman Road
at 00:45 17 Mar 2024

each week with today’s scoreline.

It’s been a tremendous season, we know, but those of you who are regulars at each home game have had so many 3-2s and 4-3s to thrill and stress you this year. I’m pleased for you - and by extension all of us - that you got to enjoy Town taking someone to the cleaners today, without any stress. In fact, fingers crossed that we click into the same high-scoring winning machine from here on out.

Hope we can get back to winning ways in this next spread of games.

at 23:43 3 Feb 2024

we’d bothered to turn up for the first half.

We were a bit unlucky with the first goal given both the deflection and the missed foul in the build-up, but the rest of the half was garbage. Of the starters, only Davis performed creditably, everyone else was well below par. Based on what we saw in the second half, Moore stands a good chance of being our top scorer by the time April rolls around.

"By losing today, we have given someone else the pleasure of winning"

Now, that line may have worn thin between 2018 and late 2021, but after the last year, it seems a necessary corrective to thinking we've got it cracked.

Ipswich Town under Kieran McKenna means that the smile will be on our faces again before too long. I know it. You know it. So come now all, and keep high mirth.

for the first time in a while, our greatest hits didn't come off.

Davis plays a free kick along the ground for Chaplin to run into - it goes over the bar. Burns runs onto a corner from the right and volleys wide. Amazing to think how often those margins have gone our way over the last year.

Cup match than in any of our remaining league matches.

Town have no one to blame but themselves for losing today. Yes, we were unlucky with all the deflections onto posts and bar. We should have had a penalty for the trip on Edmundson as well. But we had the chances to put that tie to bed and didn’t take them. Both of Maidstone’s finishes showed what we are currently lacking as well.

Nevertheless, we still have a hell of a prize to play for this season, and everyone needs to rally around after a rare low point in the last year.

Liverpool - Ipswich April 1984 Full match
at 11:59 22 Jan 2024

This may have been shared before, and would probably work better in the close season, but the full broadcast of Town's 2-2 draw at Anfield in April 1984, shortly after Wark moved there and Eric Gates scored two crackers is currently on YouTube.

Interesting from an historical perspective, not least because 9 days later that Town side beat Man Utd at Old Trafford, after trailing at half-time and remain the last side to have done this, nearly 40 years on!

I had the juxtaposition of Sam Morsy and Noel Coward tonight
at 22:49 26 Dec 2023

The game on the tablet, on mute, so I wouldn’t have to listen to Gary Weaver, while a documentary about the life and work of Coward played on the TV.

For most of the night, I needed Coward’s bon mots and humour, because the game looked like it was going to be one of those frustrating ones where we would huff and puff without putting together the golden chance to unlock a good Leicester defence. At first glimpse, I thought that Morsy had hit a knackered shot just when we needed him to catch it sweetly. To then see the ball looping into the far corner for a late equaliser was an ending which Coward himself would have been proud of.

Looking at social media - when we finally do end the wait for a derby win
at 15:15 17 Dec 2023

the level of whataboutery and self-justification from Norwich fans is going to be epic. I think the longer this run goes on, the more unhinged it is sending them, especially against the backdrop of how things are currently playing out for the two clubs overall.
There are responses on there today, including some from people who should know better, which are frankly jaw-dropping.

I thought we made a lot of our own problems today.
at 14:43 16 Dec 2023

A miss of the season contender from Broadhead; poor defending on their first goal; slow start to the second half leading to another poor goal given away and a general lack of intensity and execution on a lot of our play

In conclusion: 2 points dropped but relieved we didn’t lose, sad that the drought goes on; contented to take an 8-11 point lead to Elland Road next weekend.

Just one more push needed for a dream week if we can beat Norwich on Saturday and then we will see what happens vs Leeds and Leicester.

These are such times as dreams are made of. Don't wake me up yet!

If Town continue this habit of following defeats with double figure unbeaten runs, we can only be delighted with that. 9 points out of 9 since the loss at the Hawthorns.
