Delap as super sub
at 14:30 26 Oct 2024

Not sure if he's on the bench because carrying an injury or just tired because of so much on his shoulders ever game, but if he comes on at the 70 minutes mark he could be a handful for a tiring Brentford defence. Remember all those last minute goals we used to do so well....

Best Prem Signings - O'Shea
at 11:12 12 Oct 2024

A listicle in the Guardian on the best Summer Premier League signings.
Was surprised Delap wasn't in, but O'Shea is at No.3:
https://www.theguardian.com/football/who-scored-blog/2024/oct/12/best-signings-s

3) Dara O’Shea (Ipswich) – 7.18 rating
While he was unable to prevent Ipswich from falling to a heavy 4-1 loss against West Ham prior to the international break, Dara O’Shea has proven a shrewd piece of business by the Tractor Boys. The 25-year-old is winning more aerial duels per game (4.8) than any other defender in the Premier League and while he is yet to be on the winning side for Ipswich following his arrival from Burnley, it’s only a matter of time before they’re able to claim a first victory following their return to the top flight.

Omari, future England no.10
at 01:06 5 Oct 2024

The Athletic report that Omari has pledged for England over Jamaica following Carsley taking over.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5818945/2024/10/04/omari-hutchinson-england-jam

"It helps that Hutchinson already knows many of the England Under-21s players. He was called up for the first time last month and travelled to the camp despite having a minor injury that meant he had to withdraw after a few days.

But the trip reassured Hutchinson he was making the right choice. It gave him the chance to see some familiar faces and have a positive conversation with interim head coach Ben Futcher.

The latter was given the role after Lee Carsley was named interim head coach of the senior team in August. Carsley, who has a great chance of securing the main job more permanently, rates Hutchinson highly.

There are no guarantees over what happens next, but the fact England have made such a concerted effort is a compliment to Hutchinson’s abilities in itself."

Past players' value today
at 01:33 30 Aug 2024

Thinking about the transfer market fees today, and thought about what past Ipswich greats went for and what they would be worth in today's money.

I wonder what we'd get for Mick Mills or Crawford today.
I'd make a bid for Kiwomya, Brazil or Crawford to fill our number 9 shirt this season.

Connor Wickham to Sunderland, 2011, for £8m: now £11.5m
Kieron Dyer to Newcastle, 1999, for £6m: now £11.1m
Titus Bramble to Newcastle, 2002, for £6m: now £10.8m
Tyrone Mings to Bournemouth, 2015, for £8m: now £10.7m
Aaron Cresswell to West Ham, 2014, for £3.75m: now £5m
Darren Bent to Charlton, 2005, for £2.5m: now £4.29m
Jason Dozzell to Spurs, 1993, for £1.9m: now £3.96m
Richard Wright to Arsenal, 2001, for £2m: now £3.6m
Dalian Atkinson to Villa, 1991, for £1.6m: now £3.57m
Mauricio Taricco to Spurs, 1998, for £1.75m: now £3.29m
Terry Butcher to Rangers, 1986, for £725: now £2.1m
Chris Kiwomya to Arsenal, 1995, £1.25m: now £2.5m
John Wark to Liverpool, 1984, for £713k: now £2.256m
Alan Brazil to Tottenham, 1983, for £425,000: £1.4m
Ray Crawford to Wolves, 1963, for £55k: now £973k
Paul Mariner to Arsenal, 1984, for £160k: now £505k

Old flames

If we are revisiting old flames that never quite worked out, like Chiedozie Ogbene, perhaps NOW is the time for Kevin Phillips?

Away pub?

I'm now heading to Against the Grain, a small cidery and tap room I know near the ground. But if I get bored I wondered if there's an away pub tonight? (Even though TT I'm a home fan...)

Sofiane Karraoui - third keeper?
at 22:43 23 Aug 2024

no idea of the genesis of this story, or the trust in the publications that state it. But here it says that Ipswich, AS ROma and a "big" Spanish club all want this Moroccan U18 keeper Sofiane Karraoui. Seems to have dual french citizenship

Speed on the counter
at 18:40 23 Aug 2024

As well as all those top two stats for pressing in the first week, this is an interesting one:


And if it happens, I can't wait to see Davis and Clarke and Hutchison all relentlessly overlap at speed on the counter to completely confuse defenders.

August 31st
at 00:09 23 Aug 2024

It's going to be very strange to wake up on August 31st and not think about "which player will they sign today?"

Which is a good thing, it's all been very kids in a sweetshop as we more than make up for the last two decades of dirge. It will just be strange moving on to the next phase of what will be a long, complicated season.

This is a nice thread. The banner that was held up when Ipswich lost to Liverpool 5-0 and went down has been recreated and hung from the town hall for tomorrow
