Thread | Great words from McKenna as always
at 19:53 2 Aug 2025
"Hopefully we can have some additions as soon as possible, but I, the players and the supporters - which I know they will be when it comes to the start of the season - need to be 100% focused on the task at hand, being together and going to Birmingham next weekend, delivering a top performance and trying to get points on the board. Doing that for the games ahead.
"Situations, incomings and outgoings, will play out as they play out. We'll always try to do what's best for the football club."
Fück the noise, we’ve got to get behind the team and not worry about things outside of our control |

Thread | No Muric
at 15:52 7 Jul 2025
In the latest training video, shows Palmer, Walton and Slicker but no Muric. On another note, Ogbene looks like an absolute unit, seems like he's filled out since before his injury [Post edited 7 Jul 15:59]

Thread | Unpopular opinion maybe
at 10:23 5 Jul 2025
But the away kit wouldn’t be getting anywhere near as much hate if the leaked photo hadn’t have happened. It looks so much better as a shirt sleeved shirt and, whilst it’s not great and I won’t buy it, it seems very non-offensive to me and a perfectly fine kit. I think people were set up to hate it before even seeing it properly due to the leak |

Thread | West stand sponsor
at 13:37 30 Jun 2025
Now that Halo have been announced, wonder what’s happening with the West stand sponsorship? I had assumed it was being held back until because it was the same sponsor for the kit and the stand but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Seems strange that the club haven’t taken the opportunity to get some more money through the door yet |

Anyone have one?
We’re moving into a new place which needs a full refurb including a heating system (it’s currently got a mains gas back boiler). Looking at options, we could replace it with a new combi boiler for £6k-ish or we could fit an ASHP for £4.5k plus solar with battery for a further £7k and remove gas completely from the property. Just keen to know if anyone lives with a similar system and how you find it / whether it’s worth it |

On loan at the scum, looks a decent prospect and fits the profile we’re looking for. Think the scum have got an option to buy but wonder whether other clubs can match that offer and give him a choice to make? |

Anyone recently sold in Ipswich and got a recommendation for an agent? The market seems incredibly tough at the moment, it’s a 4 bed semi in IP4 of that makes any difference. Thanks in advance |

Been a while since we’ve had a North Stand display, would love an ‘As One’ banner as we move towards the end of the season. I’ve donated a few times before but anything in the pipeline? |

Thread | European loan striker
at 17:23 31 Jan 2025
Can we take on another loan striker from Europe or are we at our limit now? (Phillips, enciso, cajuste and Godfrey)?
If not I can’t believe there’s not an 18 - 20 year old striker at a decent european club whose well away from getting a game and wouldn’t fancy a 5 month opportunity to be a third choice striker in the prem at a club battling relegation? They may well come in as a third choice but at least it would give us a little bit of cover for delap / Hirst. As a club you surely want to have your youngsters going out and getting experience and a premier league relegation fight would be a great learning experience.
I know it wouldn’t be anyone’s first choice of

Thread | Inhalers
at 15:52 17 Dec 2024
Something I completely forgot about and not sure what game it was in but recently noticed Chaplin using an inhaler during one of his 30 minute sit downs. Has anyone else noticed this? I know there was something about the Liverpool teams use of inhalers at one point, wonder if we’ve also got a lot of players using them? |

Thread | 1% away
at 14:30 10 Dec 2024
Sam Morsy didn’t have a great game on Sunday, but I’ve still been singing ‘He’s Egyptian’ to myself all week.
It feels like we’re 1% away from being a mid-table team. The only problem is that 1% is a massive jump at this level. We’re not getting embarrassed as a team and are competing with all of the teams we’d want to be competing with. It’s just that 1% of quality, experience and depth that we’re missing. And actually that makes me proud and shows how much we’ve stepped up already this season. Our squad value is £100million lower than anyone else’s, it’s £250million below the average premier league squad value. Our two most ‘premier league’ players are both 21 and in their first season in the premier league. And yet we’re competing, we’re 1% away.
And yes, that 1% might be the reason we go down. In all honesty I’m not sure what else anyone can do without breaking FFP. And if we do go down, we’ll still be in one of the best positions the club has ever been in. Various ground upgrades, a new training centre, a vastly improved squad compared to a few seasons ago, the club moving in a clear direction with a clear plan, parachute payments and valuable assets.
We’ve got to stick together and stick with the team. Whatever happens this season, we’ve still got our club back.

Thread | Team for Sunday?
at 08:54 6 Dec 2024
—————————— Muric
Johnson — O’Shea — Burgess — Davis
——————— Morsy — Cajuste
—Hutchinson — Szmodics — Broadhead
—————————— Delap
I think that’s what I’d be going with, get Szmodics playing off Delap and get Hutchinson back on the right. |

Thread | Ref and Tuesday
at 18:03 30 Nov 2024
Lots of hate towards the ref online, I didn’t think he had a bad game? Lots of niggly fouls and diving about but don’t think he got a lot wrong.
Tuesday I feel like Broadhead needs to start on the left, he looked lively when he came on. Szmodics on the bench to replace Delap later on |

Thread | Sir Bobby dynasty via McKenna
at 10:41 25 Nov 2024
I know the link to Sir Bobby via Mourinho has been spoken of but I wonder how far that’s going to continue through the current players? I know a few of them done some of their coaching badges previously and I can really see McKenna inspiring them to move into coaching / management. I think:
Chaplin will be a great coach / manager one day
Morsy will manage Egypt
Burgess is highly regarded for his tactical knowledge and gets involved with coaching some of the younger ages
Szmodics another who could be a decent manager potentially
Any others?
