| News Comment | Former Blue Evans Promoted From League One Again at 08:06:32
My nephew will be well pleased watching his Team win League One in the 89th minute. Would imagine scenes similar to our win in the 97th minute against Southampton. Pompey would have enjoyed that result for us as well!! Obviously Lee Evans is a lucky charm for Teams trying to get out of that awful division!! |
| News Comment | McKenna Named Championship Manager of the Season at 10:39:11
Kieran has been a breath of fresh air to our Club since he walked in the Building. Everyone is on the same page both players and supporters and it's been a joy watching our Team over the past two years. The quality of our football has been exceptional at times! God knows we have deserved it though after so many dark days under Keane, Jewell, McCarthy and Lambert. |
| News Comment | McKenna: Proud of the Performance in Brilliant Game at 11:13:09
A cracking game with both teams having good opportunities to settle it. Once again Omari was the pick of the bunch. Just a shame that his finishing let him down. As others have said the two week break will help us recharge our batteries and hopefully see Wes back. Maybe too much for Hirst to get up to speed . We've certainly missed him. I have a feeling that two wins and a draw maybe enough although you cannot discount Southampton making a late run. Thought they were the best Team to come to Portman Road probably just shading Leeds. |
| News Comment | McKenna: We Take the Positives From the Performance at 08:04:37
A golden opportunity missed! Lets be honest since the Blackburn game we have not been at our best. Last night against Watford's low block we created a few decent chances first half but our final execution wasn't quite good enough. Second half when I thought we might move up a gear there was no real quality. Apart from Omari who was a class apart the others were not at their best. Still we have to remain positive and with four games remaining we are in a better position than 22 other Teams! Roll on saturday! |
| News Comment | Downes: Fans Don't Know the Full Story of Town Exit at 16:42:02
I think most supporters felt that from his body language Downes wanted away, which was probably picked up by Cook. I seem to remember towards the end of his time at Town that he was running around like a headless chicken and lucky not to receive a red card. Sad really for someone who'd come up through the ranks with Woolfie because I feel that under McKenna he would have flourished and enjoyed his football again. |
| News Comment | Wardley Retains Belts Following Draw at 10:25:41
Watched the interview with Mark Heath pre fight and it looked as though Fabio was carrying cuts to the bridge of his nose into the fight. Good that he's retained his titles. A win tonight for the Super Blues will lift his spirits and ours!! |
| News Comment | Ipswich Town 6-0 Sheffield Wednesday - Match Report at 18:13:18
Though Omari was on fire today. Scored two goals and took up several good positions where if his team mates had picked out would have completed his hattrick. Also one pass he played across the pitch from left to right when he was down on the ground, second half, was outrageous. Our central midfield worked tirelessly and Wednesday couldn't cope with the. Only downer on the afternoon was Wes Burns injury which apparently is his hamstring and not good for him or fro the remaining games. |
| News Comment | Plymouth Argyle 0-2 Ipswich Town - Match Report at 18:10:01
Write us off at your peril....We've sent a message to Leicester, Leeds, Southampton and all those ''know all'' pundits...WE AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE!!! To only lose 4 matches out of 35 played is extraordinary. At the start of the season I thought we'd have a decent season and surprise a few Teams, but this is beyond all our wildest dreams. Just goes to show that both the form book and predictions mean nothing so lets sit back and enjoy the rest of the ride!! COYBs |
| News Comment | McKenna: It Was a Bit of a Wild Game, Wasn't it? at 12:53:39
On the plus side we won and are now third. On the minus side, Clarke worries me positionally sometimes, Woolfies lack of pace worries me. Also thought we were led to believe Tuanzebe was quick. Looked second best most of the time this season and as good a season as Hadlaky has enjoyed does his goalkeeper's manual not cover the need to catch the ball on occasions. Whilst I understand the principle of playing out from the back when you are being pressed man for man sometimes you need to mix it up. I lost count of the number times we got caught out last night. We were second best for most challenges and were sloppy both in and out of possession. A bad day at the Office and I really do hope that lessons have been learned. Still only probably the second least enjoyable match this season. QPR being the other one! |
| News Comment | Chaplin: I Love Playing For This Football Club at 16:38:54
A great statement by Connor on how he feels about Ipswich Town, his love for the fans, fellow Team mates and admiration of his Manager, particularly when you consider his fondness for the Pompey fans. My nephew, a Portsmouth supporter, is gutted that he's not still at Fratton Park but wishes him nothing but the best for the rest of his career. Hopefully the rest of the Team feel exactly the same and want to remain with us on our journey to the 'promised land' |
| News Comment | Millwall 0-4 Ipswich Town - Match Report at 22:28:19
Can we play you every week? Leeds and Southampton reminder...it's never over until the fat lady sings!! We are back on our 'A' game now!! |
| News Comment | Palace Reportedly Fail in Move For McKenna at 16:55:26
Yes we all know that money talks but I agree with DissBoy that it would take the right Club to turn McKenna's head. I really do believe that he loves everything about this Club and sees his appointment as a long term project building season upon season. If anything our achievements so far this season have probably exceeded his expectations. Bobby Robson was with us for 14 years until England lured him away and there were plenty of suitors during his stay with us, so why not McKenna?? |
| News Comment | McKenna: Millwall Trip Too Soon For Taylor at 15:24:03
Keep right on to the end of the road was a fans favourite at the time and would it be lovely to hear sung on the terraces again! Unsure why it was dropped? |
| News Comment | McKenna: Officials Apologised For First Two Preston Goals at 16:28:39
It doesn't alter the result unfortunately but at least the Officials had the decency to admit that Preston's first two goals should have been disallowed. Sadly due to various factors over the past few games we haven't hit the heights we enjoyed early on, but with our new recruits and seventeen games to go I strongly fancy us to be in the mix come May. |
| News Comment | Preston North End 3-2 Ipswich Town - Match Report at 17:43:20
Disappointing I know guys but we just need to keep some perspective. There's still plenty of games to go and we are well in the mix. Looking at it second spot is well up for grabs between us Southampton and Leeds so lets stay positive. My only concern is that although we love to play out from the Back I've often thought during many games we've ridden our luck so sometimes we need to mix it up a bit as other Teams know that if they press us we are likely to make mistakes. Today has proven the point. |
| News Comment | Leicester City 1-1 Ipswich Town - Match Report at 23:09:28
We'd have taken a point at the league leaders before the game so well done lads! Under the cosh first half but grew into game in the second. Hutchinson and Sarmiento made the difference and looked really lively, although Woolfie and Hadlky were probably the standout performers for me. Good to get some respite from the league now and hopefully time enough to bring in a couple of strikers to see us through the season. Southampton will not be looking forward coming down here and so long as we can maintain a good standard i'm optomistic we'll clinch second spot....at least!!!! |
| News Comment | Charlton Confirm Ladapo Loan Move at 20:25:02
Only halfway through the window and allowing Freddie to leave now indicates something must be about to happen. Freddie had his moments with us but to be honest probably missed more chances than the goals he scored. Can't say I agree with Appleton's appraisal of Freddie. I never thought he was that quick which probably accounted for the fact that he was never going to be able to fill George's shoes and chase down players. Shame Shefki wasn't twenty years younger! Joe Royle said he loved him because he'd chase paper if necessary. Still like many others on here I wish Freddie all the best on his footballing journey. |
| News Comment | Delia and Husband Issue Statement on Car Incident at 23:54:03
Advised to follow a police escort with the Norwich coach but declines the offer and decides instead to follow the Ipswich coach in a highly charged atmosphere where the actions of one mindless idiot were pretty nailed on. OK though for us supporters in The Sir Alf to be inconvenienced when we are only yards away from the turnstiles but have to be rerouted by the police. Don't remember all this pc nonsense in years gone by! |
| News Comment | McKenna: Nothing Very Imminent at 16:32:44
Probably a narrower playing field than last year too. I'd rather be patient though and get in the right recruits. You could say that the F A Cup match has come at the right time and gives us some breathing space. Shame that we don't have anyone like Hirst to suit our game plan but lets be optimistic that we'll be all smiles come the end of the month! |
