22A Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 At the 16 minute mark the Norwich fans applauded. Did I hear the commentator right? He said this was because it's 16 years since Ipswich dropped into the Championship. Hmm; if true then perhaps Wycombe fans if playing an evening game v Rovers could all applaud at 20.14 hours.

It was the Ipswich fans applauding celebrating 16 years in the championship apparently. Essentially celebrating being the most boring club in the league. Could do with this being a draw though. If either one wins they`re only five points behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Has Mad Mick sent his players out wearing slippers? Everyone of them seem to be hitting the deck as soon as a Norwich player gets within a yard of them! And the ref is doing nothing to deter them from doing it! I thought Mad Mick set his teams out to be hard to beat, not to try & cheat every opportunity they get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Not a great watch TBH. Both are better than this I think, particularly Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Interesting fact just mentioned. In the 5 years Mick McCarthy has been manager he has spent approx £3m in transfer fees but has recouped approx £14m in transfer sales. It illustrates what a tight budget he’s operating with, but still keeps Ipswich on the fringe of the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have the remnants of a “big club” image, but seem to be happy to coast mid table in the Championship. That said - they have just scored. Late run for the playoffs?

22A Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Three observations; When Ipswich scored the Stewards immediately got in their way so the players couldn't celebrate with their fans. Winning one nil in stoppage time, Ipswich did not just run the ball into the corner, but tried scoring a second. 1-0 down with seconds remaining and the Norwich fans were not streaming out in their hordes, but stayed there urging their team on - for which they were rewarded.

I think it’s that living on past glories (Forest, Leeds etc) & they think they deserve better when in theory a club who works hard for their subsequent success are seen as small & lucky. Ipswich have decent facilities (training ground etc) so they haven’t had to spend money on improving the basics of the club but they seemingly haven’t put any of the funds saved from not having to improve their facilities into the playing staff. On saying that, Mad Mick knows what type of players he wants & they don’t tend to cost large amounts as his main objective is to have hard working players first & foremost & that the talent will come through with the hard work but it’s clearly not as simple as that. As for their transfer dealings, Mings brought them a huge profit as he was signed from Chippenham Town for a very small amount & sold on to Bournemouth for an extortionate amount on the back of Bournemouth making their move to The Premier League & he’s been really unlucky with couple of really bad injuries but it makes me wonder if Ipswich expect to unearth deals like that all of the time, which is just highly unlikely.

By the sounds of it he’s in no rush for a big move, he just wants to play & not end up in someone’s U23’s. Quite refreshing to hear a young player wanting to play rather than chasing the money as soon as it’s offered & also shows that he has faith in his own ability.

I’d guess that he’s happy to progress his career steadily & make the move up one step at a time so he can assure himself that he’s good enough to play for whatever club he goes to rather than getting his dream move now & not actually playing first team football & it all seeming like a waste of his career. He wasn’t getting game time at Norwich last season & asked to go out on loan, which he did to Aberdeen & it’s clearly done him the world of good.

Wanderingred Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Ouch, got to feel for Ipswich there. Hadn't beaten Norwich for about a decade.. that was their Louie Donawa moment and it was then taken away from them. Imagine how we would have felt if the gas had scored a last gasp equaliser that night l. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
