Thread | 19 games, 18 goals
at 15:40 1 Jan 2025
And every single one has mattered at the time it went in. Every goal scored by Ipswich this season has either:
- Levelled the game (5 times)
- Put us in the lead (10 times), or
- Extended our lead from one to two goals (3 times)
Not sure it means much but with goals at a premium compared to the last two seasons it is great that they've all been goals worth celebrating (rather than a bunch of consolation goals after going 3-nil down) |

Thread | Re-finding our identity
at 21:46 29 Sep 2024
It's been clear in our first few games that we've installed a pragmatic element to our game - particularly with the draw against Brighton. FWIW, that is one of the key differences between McKenna and the likes of Russell Martin - both have the same philosophy to play out from the back and play good football but McKenna is inspired by it whereas Martin is beholden to it.
While Delap's second goal was fantastic and will rightfully get a lot of praise, his first goal actually meant more to me because it was just the type of goal that we've seen so many times over the past couple of years - high press winning the ball upfield, neat play in midfield to free someone down the sides, and a low pull back followed by a first time shot into the back of the net. For all the positives out of the first five games it was clear that the usual patterns of play were still being worked on after two years of them being ingrained in the side (everyone knew what Morsy was about to do at the start of the move that resulted in that Sarmiento goal) but seeing that gives me more and more confidence that this team will carry on improving game after game.

Thread | Previous Ipswich owners
at 12:43 27 Apr 2023
I was talking to a colleague today about how things have changed at Ipswich since the new ownership, and how there were such great hopes when Marcus Evans bought us that quickly fizzled out.
It struck me that I didn't really know about the ownership structure before then. Obviously the Cobbold family were heavily involved, but they are typically referred to as Chairman and on the board rather than owners. And I have no clue who Marcus Evans bought the club off - Sheepshanks was Chairman but he didn't own the club.
Can any of our resident historians shed a light on this? |

Thread | Dean Lewington
at 15:57 13 Aug 2022
It feels worthwhile giving a shout out to the longevity and loyalty of Dean Lewington, who both starts today and also started the March 2004 Division One Wimbledon vs Ipswich game 18 years (!) ago. Wonder if there will be many (any?) more one club players like him. |
