The biggest and best change since McKenna took over and new owners came in has been the improved crowds (sell out every week, been the same for 2 and a half years and will be next season) and the massive improvement in the atmosphere. The club had been in decline for 20 years, we’d lost a...

Definitely. To do that though you need a promoted team to scrape staying up the year before (not sure if this makes sense!). The teams immediately above is are Man U, Spurs and West Ham. That shows the level. First half of the season Wolves looked vulnerable but their quality (relative to the...

Thanks. If it’s made one of you feel better then it was worth posting. What I have missed most this season is going to games, expecting them to be exciting and knowing that we’re in with a decent chance of a result. You can kid yourself and we’ve had a few great, surprising results (beating...

It should be but there is a risk that the restrictions they’ve put on spending are going to reduce the competitiveness. It suits us next season but it will damage the EFL if the clubs with the parachute payments have so much more clout than the rest. We’re edging towards a situation where...

That was the penultimate game of the season. A win meant we only needed a point from the last game to go up. Of course we did what we had to, every team would do the same. I couldn’t care less what fans of other teams think of us and if that’s your takeaway from what we achieved last season then...

No offence taken. I said it was raw and have watched my team lose more play off semi finals than I care to remember. If we’d missed out last season and a Luton fan had popped up on TWTD I’d probably have had a similar reaction to you. When you get there (you will, it’s cyclical for all clubs...

Fair enough! You’re right that it’s easy for me to say what I have when we’ve benefitted from the money, have parachute payments and without sounding cocky should have a decent season to look forward to. Trust me though, when Sunderland or Sheffield United are getting smacked 6-0 at home you’ll...

I get that and in the long term this season should take us up a level but it’s a painful process. We had a team we loved - players we’d seen grow and develop, bond and achieve something really special. Most of them have now left or are way down the pecking order, replaced by talented footballers...

Hi, Ipswich fan here. I watched both games, you were definitely the better side in both and yet again, just like the FA cup semi-final last year, didn’t get the rub of the green. Rotten way to lose a play off (much easier if you’re Bristol City and are just outplayed across two games) and on...

I watch Ipswich every week and can’t believe we’re a top two side either. From August to November we were flying. The football was exceptional and we were beating teams far more convincingly than some score lines would suggest. Since then it’s been mainly a case of results being achieved by hook...

Was he good for you? I heard an interview with him a while ago and I remember him saying he struggled a bit at one club, I’ve got a feeling it could have been Coventry.

I forgot that Chaplin played for you. His form has dropped off a bit lately but that’s compared to the consistently very high standard he has had for 2 years. We love him - a quality player with a great attitude.
