It’s unbelievable! Everything that moves is owned by ‘Roy’. ? I think he’s going for global domination. 

Makes the Trago Mills ‘empire’ look amateur.

It's been like that for yonks too.Must be over forty years ago I first went to Wroxham and it was Roy's Empire then.

Unbelievable last ten minutes - four goals in time added on, two for both sides. The best of it was, it was 0-0 until the third minute of first half injury time when Ipswich scored.

If Plymouth beat Exeter on Monday night (live on Sky) they go four points clear at the top and seven clear of Wednesday in third.

Blimey, a while since I've thought of Trago ?

Ipswich's 3rd is a lovely worked goal to be fair.. but jeeze you forget how slow paced L1 is. You never get that much time on the ball in the championship. 

That was my thought exactly. Almost walking pace. Tbh...I thought Swansea were slow also in their build up play yesterday. I've noticed when teams play slow methodical build up play, the opposition often slow down in their press as well. I thought we did yesterday as well...then got more energetic after they equalised.

Spot on, so slow..

Couple of other thoughts, fair play to the ref, very easy just to play the 6 minutes on the board but Ipswich’s time wasting was off the scale.

A full minute before the game restarted after they made it 3-2 & nearly as much again after their 4th.

Absolutely brilliant tackle by Thomas, the Charlton 3 at 3-4 (he’d also scored the third) & the lad who got the 4th (Dobson) is probably the best defensive midfielder at that level, be amazed if Jason Euell hasn’t suggested him for us

Now out of the automatics….I’m sure Ashton will throw another few million onto the pile in January as a result. 
 

If they don’t go up this year, they are deeply ******

Missing a striker from my very far view

Always dominate possession and shots but cannot convert

Pete, here’s a segment of an interview from Mark Steed, the guy who runs the investment company behind Gamechanger 2020 Ltd, who are behind Ipswich Town:

I’d say he quickly got the measure of Ashton!

Especially with the “skill of luck” comment.

Here’s a list of all their transfers in 18 months:

I’ve crossed through in black, those players that Transfermarkt include, such as promotions from u21 to first team and returning loans.

I’ve circled in red those players that signed last summer, and who moved on by the end of this summer, either perm or loan.

They now want more players…forwards!!

Strikers (forwards) signed so far:

  • Bonne - loan / ended last season
  • Celina - loan / ended last season
  • Barry - loan / ended last season
  • Aluko
  • Pigott - now out on loan (red circled)
  • Chaplin
  • Harness
  • Ladapo
  • John-Jukes - loan
  • Ahadme

to accompany what they already had:

  • Norwood - now left
  • Jackson - tried to move him on, couldn’t, so now back in the squad
  • Simpson - couldn’t retain him, sold to Huddersfield

Ashton claims they were net £0 on transfer spend.  Absolute horse hit.

Brilliant stuff.  

Sounds like Mark Steed has got him well sussed and Swiss Toni won’t be pulling his pants down like he did with our Steve!

To be fair it says more about our club than Ipswich. Ashton was allowed free rein to appear to do what he wanted, but ultimately the buck stops at the top. Ashton is unlikely to have signed the cheques but is likely to have requested the money spent. Every manager wants two or three more players , Johnson was very quick every transfer window to state it ,Ashton would no doubt go to the board that these players would see us over the line and the Lanswdowns would sign off the expenditure. The bulk of the blame is with our ownership , unlike Ipswich we asked no questions or challenges
