Comment | Ipswich Town 2-4 Nottingham Forest - Match Report
at 19:58:48
On paper, we had a strong attacking squad, and if we’d been promoted with them, we’d be a different team now. But the reality is that constant changes across both transfer windows unsettled a winning side. We’ve lost everything that made us cohesive and now seem devoid of ideas and adaptability—ironically, two of our biggest strengths over the past two seasons.
Our only hope is that Wolves slip up and we somehow scrape through, though it’s clear we need significant improvement. This season was always a free hit, with the long-term plan to build a strong, cohesive team over three years—one capable of promotion and sustained success.
If we do go down, the focus has to be on regrouping, learning, and coming back stronger. The break gives us a chance to reset, lick our wounds, and hopefully rediscover the spark that made us so effective before. |

Comment | Enciso's Knee Injury Not Serious
at 19:51:26
Even though it’s not a serious season-ending injury, it will still keep him out for several matches—setting the team back for weeks. We’ve been relying on him to contribute to our goal threat by getting up to speed, which he hadn’t quite managed yet—but he would have in a few more games. Now, when he returns, he’ll have to start from scratch. Why is it never straightforward for us? |

Fingers crossed for speedy return…..!
It would be just our luck if that’s him done for the season. He looked to give us more going forward, something we’re gonna need in the run in… |

Let’s be honest, who would have expected anything different from this and Man City. Two world class sides and us playing Wimbledon away 2 years ago.
There were some good performances out there and the subs made an impact.
Recent additions have shown the club’s desire to stay up. And looking at the run in I am confident that we will, but only just. 17th or bust…!!! |

Fingers crossed he’ll get sufficient opportunities to develop and improve so he can eventually hit that ‘barn door with a banjo’…. Much love Ali (modern day Shefki Kuqi) |

Good move for all. Perhaps a spell playing will enable him to ‘hit a cows behind with a banjo’ as he can’t at the moment…..! |

Comment | McKenna: We Knew We Needed to Be Solid and Resilient to Give Ourselves a Chance to Stay in the Game
at 11:06:42
It was always going to be a tough, backs-against-the-wall game, but we held our own and didn’t embarrass ourselves. We limited a top-class side to just a handful of chances and managed to frustrate them. In my opinion, there wasn’t much wrong overall—just a lack of composure on the ball and the awareness to find the best opportunities. That said, you can’t fault the energy and commitment; every single player gave everything they had.
It’s disappointing that Sammy couldn’t capitalise on his chances at the start of each half, but these things happen. Chelsea will pose a similar challenge, but if we bring the same determination, we’ll come through these tricky fixtures with our heads held high and ready to face the uphill battle ahead for the rest of the season.
Fingers crossed we can bring in one or two reinforcements during the transfer window, and that Axl and Georgie make their returns soon. I haven’t stopped believing—and neither should anyone else. |

Comment | McKenna: No Doubt It's a Crucial Match But Must-Win Doesn't Really Mean Anything
at 10:37:20
People should remember where we were just two years ago. This season is an added bonus – I don’t think the club even expected to secure promotion last year. The initial goal was to build a stable foundation and take on the Premier League challenge over a couple of years. Building that base so quickly was always going to be a massive challenge. Typically, we’d have made this number of signings across multiple transfer windows to ensure everything fit together smoothly.
It’s going to take time, and injuries haven’t helped. Some might argue we don’t have time, but we do. To stay up, we need around 30 points (not the often-cited 40 – just look at the last five seasons), and that’s within reach for KM and this squad. Once we gain momentum, we’ll be fine. |

Comment | McKenna: First Win Would Be a Boost But It's Not a Monkey On Our Back
at 19:15:52
There are no easy games…. West Ham proved that and although they are down with us Everton can produce a hammers like performance if we’re not too careful. One plus is we’re at home.
We’re going to miss Axle for sure, Johnson was poor last time out. Let’s hope he gets better… or get Harry in, he’ll give 110%.
This is going to be controversial, Leif also needs to improve his defensive attributes. He’s great going forward but in this league with back to goal has been left wanting. Fingers crossed for O’Shea being fit.
If we are successful in containing their front 4 we have a chance of 3 points , cause we’ll score against them for sure..
Let turn the volume up tomorrow and get right behind them for 90mins…..!! COYB..!! |

Comment | West Ham United 4-1 Ipswich Town - Match Report
at 10:44:08
We’re going to have days like this in this league, it’s brutal…. 4 good performances prior and a bad day at the office. What I would say is I agree that there were some players who were noticeably below par… our right side was poor and the left not the penetration that we’re normally used to. So credit should go to West Ham for that.
It’s all about the reaction now. Everton were good against Newcastle, so it’s not going to be an easy assignment as some people are thinking, as was West Ham…. |

Comment | McKenna: West Ham Are Still Building But We Have a Lot of Respect For Them
at 19:28:36
3-points here we come… we’re starting to click better in certain areas and improving. West Ham are a long way off being a threat and won’t have enough to beat us. Worst case scenario a draw. Which ever way we’ll leave London only beaten by last season’s top 2….
COYB…..!!! Let’s pop some blown bubbles….. |

Comment | McKenna: Villa Will Be A Great Test For Us
at 20:12:59
This is going to be a great test for us. A mark of how we’ve progressed in the short time in the prem. villa are a strong side but do have a soft underbelly on the road. We’ll get at them and as long as we don’t leave ourselves too exposed who knows this may be our first win… can’t see us losing so may be a draw…
Make sure we crank up the noise, the 11 on the pitch will give everything us in the stands need to do so the same…!!
COYB…!! |

Comment | Town Appoint New Head of Analysis
at 20:56:32
I have read the article, reviewed all viewpoint, identified any area of strength and weakness in all follow-up posts. The accumulated data has been refined and fed into the latest AI scrutiny tool. In turn it analysed another 1205 similar reports posted around the world. This, combined with predictions from some of best in the game as well as the long term shipping forecast and betting odds of who will win strictly come dancing means that I’m going to stick my neck out with a degree of certainty and say “welcome Jamie..”. |

Better than Greg Leigh in my opinion and a really good back up for the illustrious master Davies. Let’s be honest, if we had a back up already KM would not have tried to shoehorn in others like Cam Humpries…
Welcome Conor, onward and upward…..!! |

Comment | Hutchinson Recalled to Chelsea
at 19:09:54
Let’s be realistic, yes he’s good for our squad and yes he has the fans. However signing expensive players (which he is in comparison to the entire squad) Will only serve to destabilise the group. History tells us when you buy big name players into a stable squad other lesser players start looking around and their performance drops off. You’ve only got a look at previous signings the last time we were in the premiership. Much better looking at up-and-coming talent and bringing them on Then putting all your eggs in one basket.
We love you, Omari and wish you all the very best for the future.
PS, please don’t score against us.
