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 start of this season has left us all bemused. The arrival of the new owners, the total overhaul of the squad and in the implementation of a new infrastructure was supposed to signal the beginning of a new dawn. Rather, this meal is starting to taste similar to the one we had last night,... 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 →
The first two weeks of a season often lends to large-scale panic and a swarth of knee-jerk reactions. Whilst I'm remiss to comment on Town's start to the season, (refer to the latest edition of 'Pitch Inspection' for my thoughts), I do want to talk about a compelling theory that has arisen due to Town's...

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? Just how good... Continue Reading →
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 →
