Stock falling with who? You won’t find many Ipswich fans who would want anyone else in charge. Back to back was a step too far. As for this season, a slow start but with almost a third new team in 3 seasons. McKenna will be judged in May not November but consecutive 4-1 away wins and 10 points...

No point asking me - we changed a whole team and got nowhere! Maybe that was the problem although Sunderland have done well with the same approach.

If we were them I’d be fuming but the game should have been abandoned at half time when it was 0-0. Sending off and pen both linked to the state of the pitch. Yes I’m biased, we’ve got lucky and now need to make it count.

It’s a free hit. We’d lost the game in September so to get another chance is a bonus. In fairness the pitch was a joke and played a big part in the goal (iffy penalty) and the sending off when it wasn’t possible to run properly through the puddles. Without wishing to sound cocky, I think we’ll...

The vast majority of fans are 100% behind McKenna. We had 20 years of decline before he came along and gave us 2 incredible seasons. It wasn’t just the promotions but the quality of football was incredible at times. Burns goal against you at PR was one of about 20 great goals we scored that...

We’ve got 7 games in December including Blackburn away that was abandoned with 10 to go and us a goal down and man down. It’s always an important month but this year seems particularly pivotal. The two games against you stand out as being particularly important. They should be good games.

No, there’s nothing to indicate any pressure on McKenna from those making the decisions and never has been.

Our squad looks ridiculously strong for this league - Jack Clarke as an impact sub, Nunez an occasional starter, several £10m + players on the bench every game but the balance isn’t right, we lack an identity and have no idea what our best 11 is. I’m not being critical, just honest. Without...

More importantly you then followed it up with a win and after being a goal down.

Yes I think we will. Whether it’s going to be enough is questionable. We badly lack a real leader (Morsy was the best captain we’ve had in decades, only Mills and possibly Butcher come close for leadership). We’ve got lots of great attacking players that are lovely to watch but we still lack a...

We had about 20 years worth of good luck in the year we went up. For years every fine margin seemed to go against us and then for about 18 months we were on the right side of just about every marginal one. A good example is injuries. George Hirst (he’s gone backwards , was better two seasons...

There’s nothing to fear in this league. IF we click we could go on a long unbeaten run and eat into your lead but you’ve got a big cushion and don’t see many teams that are going to put a string of say 6-7 wins together and then maintain promotion form. Christmas will be decisive, it always is...

Best way to look at it. When we went up part of the fun was that right up until we got a late winner at yours in the penultimate game most of us thought we’d fall just short. The sense of entitlement from some of our fans this year is pathetic.

If you’ve got half a team who individually are as good as anyone in the league and the momentum, unity and cohesion that we all can see then that’s my answer. Our promotion team didn’t have one player who’d definitely go into the Leeds, Leicester or Southampton teams of that season but that...
