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 →
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 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...

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 →
'The inconsistency is our consistency.' Those were the words of Paul Cook following a miserable 2-0 defeat at Fleetwood on Tuesday night, and his summary of the season couldn't be more accurate.
