With 1 point gained from a possible 6, a cup exit to Newport and a few frustrating moments along the way, the start to Town's promotion push has stuttered rather than flourished. Whilst we had hoped for an 9-0 thumping of Morecambe, followed by a 6-1 win at Burton, the reality has been rather more... Continue Reading →
Gary Barlow once told us to ‘have a little patience.’ Whilst it may have been sung in a manner that causes your toenails to pierce your sole, the sentiment may well be true when reflecting on Ipswich Town Football Club. We all want fast results, especially after a summer that has left us all on... Continue Reading →
And so, the starting line fast approaches. Whereas in past times we may have approached it with trepidation, we feel this unfamiliar sense of optimism. In a year ravaged by loss and isolationism, we return to our cathedral of wonder, revived. I don't know about you, but this wave of Goosebumps runs through my arms... Continue Reading →
It felt like only yesterday that Town's squad was culled by the self-professed demolition man. Now, two months and ten signings (at time of writing) later, and the new season is upon us, with Town hopeful of finally escaping the League One doldrums. Can they do it? Who are their main rivals?

For far too long, Town have suffered with a terminal disease called 'terrible wingers'. Whilst that might sound harsh, and in fairness Gwion Edwards had a good start to last season before reverting to form, contributions from the wide areas has been awful over the past few seasons. Luke Garbutt, the final glaring example of... Continue Reading →
Formations make the world go round... at least that logic seems to apply within the footballing sphere. From the traditional 4-4-2 to the excruciating days of 4-3-3 under Paul Lambert, each manager brings a distinct identity when they arrive at a football club. Paul Cook is a man with a footballing philosophy akin to the... Continue Reading →
All seems eerily quiet at Portman Road, but there can be no doubting the tireless work that is being conducted behind the scenes to ensure that Town get the best deal possible when moving in a difficult transfer market. Whilst I'm certain that some of the names previously mentioned in this blog series have been... Continue Reading →
Filling the number 10 role is one of the most difficult tasks that will face Town’s recruitment staff this summer, with specialists within said position becoming increasingly sought after. With high influence comes a high price-tag, and it would seem that Town will be faced with shelling out a hefty transfer fee and wage packet... Continue Reading →
