The season draws closer and Town's team continues to take shape. The midfield has been significantly improved, goals have been added at the top end and it now appears as if Town have 4 competent full-backs that could aide a promotion push (provided the Hayden Coulson deal is wrapped up soon). The arrival of George... Continue Reading →
It was unlike Town to be involved in a public transfer saga, it was even more unlike Town to be competing with sides in the division above. The mission statement for the transfer market has been set and with eight new players (at the time of writing) through the door, the new season looks to... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
Some frown at the thought of dipping into the lower leagues and acquiring 'lesser' talent, but the truth is: the gap between League One and League Two is minimal. The top performers in England's fourth-tier are just as well equipped to showcase their talents in the league above. Another year of development in the lower... Continue Reading →

With a transfer rumour appearing on our timelines almost on a daily basis, we're bound to find favourites. Some people, out of love for a certain player or a rumour, will convince themselves...

This week sees the arrival of Town's new CEO, Mark Ashton. Arguably the most popular man in Bristol, Ashton arrives with a remarkable pedigree and a hunger for a new challenge. His overall demeanour may be akin to marmite, but I imagine that reputation comes with the territory when you're in a position of power.... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
