A fair whack of time has passed since I last penned a column. From starting a new job to volunteering at Bath City FC to coaching a youth team on a Wednesday night, I’ve been busy, and finding the time has been more difficult than sitting through a Papa Johns Pizza Trophy match. However, this... Continue Reading →
It doesn't feel like too long ago that Ipswich Town Football Club lost its identity. The disbanding of the community trust was arguably the single greatest failure in the Marcus Evans era, with the club losing an entire generation of fans as a result. Football has always - and I sincerely hope always will be... Continue Reading →
I wasn't sure what I wanted to write about this week. On one hand, I could write about Town's shortcomings against Accrington, or how how I finally saw an FA Cup win on the gantry at Twerton Park, or how we're going to win the pizza trophy, but none of that really fit. With Town... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago, I remember saying how we should never get too high, and never get too low. However, after the most dominant performance I've ever witnessed from an Ipswich Town team, surely we can all reach for the stars? I had to double check I was watching the right game as the...

When I published last week's column, I felt a twinge of sadness. For so long I had tried to be positive about the new regime - but as I pointed out - positivity can't become an excuse for naivety. Town's start to the season had been poor, and the loss to West Ham's U21's felt... Continue Reading →
The eagle-eyed reader will have noticed there was no column last week. Instead, I was celebrating my graduation whilst also getting to grips with a relocation to Bath. Naturally, I feel a great sense of sadness any time I leave home, but that was nothing compared to the total feeling of apathy I felt as... Continue Reading →
There's a lot of caveats that run parallel to this column, but I'm hopeful that the peddling of positivity will manifest great things for this club... I'm willing to try anything at this point! After a couple of phenomenal days rounding out a sensational window, Town's squad is looking in incredible shape, and the brunt... Continue Reading →
Two weeks into the new season and you'd be forgiven for feeling a little flat. Town haven't hit their stride, but flashes of excellence have been showcased within the mire of individual errors. It's easy to reflect on Town's opening four games (excluding the cup, as everyone seems to nowadays) with a sense of frustration,... 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 →
