If Ipswich 2023/2024 are like Bristol City 2007/2008 then fair play to them, a team greater than the sum of their parts with a shrewd coach who can grind out wins like last night, or blow teams away.

It wasn’t that long ago Morsy was getting abused by Ipswich fans (every club has their share of these fans…) in league one and now he’s on the brink of the PL.

Just proves that while parachute payments are a major factor in getting promoted from this league, just occasionally a team will gel together and upset the odds.

It’s one thing to lose Alex Scott for significant money simply because he’s already “premier league ready”, but to slam the brakes on TC’s progress then potentially lose him for a lower price and not see him realise at least some of his full potential with us is really frustrating.

Back in it!

Game over, 1-4.

tough times across the club these days

Ian would.be better off admitting he was wrong about NP. He is starting to.sound like one of those Tory MPs sent out to defend the indefensible on breakfast news shows. 

“As I wandered through the High Performance Centre I tripped on a stray cone and I regret to say a part of my body accidentally entered him”

When Manning got back to the tunnel he looked up at SL and clapped and then gave Steve the thumbs up! Wtf was that about?

WTF, was that broadcast or did you see it in person?

The past three-six months have been complete self sabotage. I’ve never felt more disconnected from the whole thing.

The lowest I ever felt was the Holden appointment, but this isn’t far off. I think how unnecessary this all is makes it particularly frustrating. 

The beginning of the end…

The top corridor identified a defeat at Cardiff and the disappointment (despite the difficult circumstances) that followed as the ideal situation to get rid of NP. I don’t think lightning will strike twice in one season, he’s here to stay.

Another full week of training has coincided with a defeat, this keeps happening. We were doing better when LM had less opportunity to coach the team because of fixture pile ups.

Not about the defeat but the performance, absolute disgrace.

Chorus of boos for another loose forward pass that goes straight to their GK. 

Taken 88 mins to start to play, piss take 

Shot hits our own player, sums up this afternoon 

Goal ruled out for offside 

Triple change incoming 

The boos have started

“Cardiff got on the front foot”

that was meant to be us

Absolute crap I’m afraid 

I’m trying to stay enthusiastic, but this is really poor. TC and Mehmeti warming up.

Robins TV calling Ng “N.G.”. Surely that’s not how you say it?!

Pronounced “Ung”, or my mate with that surname pronounces it that way, though ironically his nickname is “N.G.”

Sykes absolutely bullied by Ng there  put so much effort into that shoulder barge and sent himself flying.

Agree with the little risk taking, a few times Williams has received the ball and could have turned but has given it back.

We’re crying out for someone who can carry the ball

Knight having some joy taking the ball forward and drawing fouls, need more of that 

Lovely work on the right by wells to win a corner 

A few corners in succession, handball claims waved away after it hit the defenders knee then bounced up on to his hand.

Yes the last two games were dreadful in every way, but I’m quite confident we can get at least a point today
