Column: Promotion Rivals

League One is slowly beginning to fill up. Sunderland, Portsmouth, Bolton, Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton, Wigan and, of course, Ipswich, are just a handful of 'big' names that will be knocking around in England's third-tier next season. The cemetery of fallen giants seems to be attracting attention from outsiders and it's left some fans debating the... Continue Reading →

Target Practice #3

In order to be the best, you have to beat the best. Unfortunately for Ipswich Town during the 20/21 season, the fundamental element of victory, scoring goals, evaded them for much of the campaign. If James Norwood had been fit for the full season we may have been having a different conversation, but I'm struggling... Continue Reading →

Pitch Inspection – Luke Chambers

Luke Chambers has left the building. After nine years donning Ipswich blue, eight of which he was captain, the former Nottingham Forest skipper departed the club as part of Paul Cook's cull of Town's current squad. It was a bittersweet moment, with many Town fans, myself included, disappointed that Chambers' loyalty wasn't appreciated in front... Continue Reading →

Target Practice #2

There were a number of different variables that Town were lacking last campaign. Decent full-backs, dynamic wingers, a prolific striker and, arguably the biggest void, a central midfielder with some grit. It's been a fair few years since Town last had a dominating, vocal midfielder who would command the play from the centre of the... Continue Reading →

Target Practice #1

Paul Cook's axe is firmly swinging, and it would appear that no one is safe. After the EADT revealed that most of the Town squad were up for sale, much debate was had amongst the ITFC community. Whilst some may disagree with Cook's approach, one thing is for sure: there are going to be plenty... Continue Reading →

Column: I’m Tired

Originally, I had planned for this week's column to focus on the impact of the European Super League. I spent most of my Tuesday afternoon constructing a scathing review of these elitist owners, only for them to pull the plug on the whole thing before I had the chance to publish. I'm sure we can...

Column: Days To Remember, Days To Forget

The phrase 'never a dull moment' often springs to mind when thinking about any aspect of being an Ipswich Town fan. Hopeful of promotion? No wins in 11 games. Expecting a result? 0-0 draw against relegation fodder. A new takeover bringing fresh ideas? A group of players that couldn't care less. Unfortunately, the optimism off... Continue Reading →

Column: America The Beautiful

Wednesday 7th April 2021 is a day that will live long in the memory of Ipswich Town fans. After 13-and-a-half years of decline under Marcus Evans, a new dawn rose upon Portman Road; whilst success isn't promised, the prospect of a fresh start gives everyone hope that our club can return to the place it...

Your ITFC 11

I took to Twitter to gauge the opinion of the ITFC community, regarding the current squad. Through a series of polls, I handed over the managerial reigns to the Town fans to decide: what formation should be played and who should occupy each position as a starter. The results are in... and they're very interesting...

Pitch Inspection: Pre-Season

A new season beckons on the murky horizon. New signings bid to etch their name in Ipswich Town folklore. A chorus of passionate fans follow their club across Europe, in hope of seeing silverware lifted by their beloved blues... Or... The Town players are back on Monday, let's have a look at how they're shaping up for the new season.
