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 →
The transfer window is almost open, which seems impossible given the number of names that have already been linked with the club. 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
As the 2020/21 season ground to a merciful halt, there was only one question on the lips of Ipswich Town fans... When are half of this lot gonna leave? The long-awaited re-boot of Demolition Man, starring Paul Cook, has gotten underway, with the club announcing their retained and released list on Monday. Whilst there were... Continue Reading →
It seems almost impossible to surmise this season. As people, irrelevant of fandom, we have all experienced a poignant year that has left many of us drained. With that in mind, it probably wasn't ideal for the club we love to force us through one of the most demoralising seasons in recent memory, with goals... Continue Reading →
