Thanks all. Really helpful and a few good options to choose from.

Hi, I’m looking forward to the game on Monday. It should be a good one but I’m coming more in hope than expectation. I’d take a point now. Any car parking recommendations please? Ideally one that means relatively easy access back to the M6 south after the game. I looked on the official website...

January signings will be crucial to you, that’s evident when a couple of injuries at the moment are leaving you short. We were lucky/clever with our signings in both January windows in our back to back promotion seasons. In the year we got to the premier league we made 4 and they played an...

In the summer after we got promoted, Chelsea and Man U were interested. Palace and Brighton both supposedly offered him the managers job. He chose to stay and signed a new 5 year contract - rumours of him earning £100k a week. Right now his stock is relatively low. Relegation and an average...

I get that. At the moment, the majority of our fans would say we’ve over paid on players and bought some very average players for a lot of money. It’s too early to really judge though.. For 8 months Philogene was average at best but whilst he still lacks consistency, he’s had a few games...

I agree, he is/we are. Last season’s effort looks even worse now when you see what Sunderland are doing than it did at the time. However, I still wouldn’t swap McKenna for any other manager in the EFL. It’s too early to judge Lampard or say how effectively he’d spend money if he had it. He’s...

You’d think so but it doesn’t work like that. Our 23/24 team would beat the current one. Sometimes it’s about the right blend and everyone doing their job. It isn’t about transfer fees, reputations and wages. A sizeable minority of our fan base acted as though we’d won the league in July when...

Every clubs got them. We’ve got some absolute weapons who follow our club. Stone Island clad teens who gob off and give it plenty in a group when they know they’re safe but would run a mile at the first sign of them having to actually fight one on one. A few of your fans weren’t that great...

That’s your opinion. I get it, I’m not going to justify a decision I didn’t make. All I can say is that hand on heart I would not have expected your keeper to be sent off for that. If a forward is one on one and the handball is all that stops a clear goal scoring opportunity then fair enough but...

If have been very annoyed with the Hirst decision if one of your players had escaped a second booking for it after what had gone before. It wouldn’t even have occurred to me that your keeper should be sent off for doing what Walton did.

I remember. It was the reason I registered on here to post how hard done by you were. It makes it even more surprising that some of your fans now see it as something missing from the championship.

You won’t be saying the same this time next year. VAR is the worst thing to happen to watching a game live in the 50 years I’ve been going to football matches.

The unofficial time outs seem to have stopped. You’re right though it used to happen regular as clockwork - Chaplin 9 times out of 10, midway through the first half. Not seen it since we were promoted. In fact the shithousery generally (there were and are many, many worse than us) has...

No argument from me that we got lucky with that decision. Not sure it would have been game over but it’s very unlikely that we’d have got more than a point. I can’t even remember Hirst’s first booking. The ref was very keen to dish out yellow cards for minor infringements which made it...

The EFL disagree with you . Blackburn are going to be in the same position again now thanks to their pitch - exactly the same thing happened today with them a goal up and half an hour to play. As for the Oxford forum. No I didn’t, I said that in my first paragraph. My previous posts on this...

Very possibly. Matusiwa - our most important player. Would have felt wrong having him suspended today as Greaves got a suspension after being sent off in the abandoned game against Blackburn earlier in the season.We were rotten against Blackburn on Tuesday, definitely a point gained.

Of course it can, I get that. I also know that when we were at the top of the division two seasons ago and supporters of other clubs were saying we’d go up I took it with a pinch of salt. Given what you’ve been through in the past 20 years I completely get why you don’t want to allow yourselves...

The league is too mediocre for two teams to overtake you as long as you maintain any sort of form. I’m assuming you’ve named your next two games. Even if you lose them both (you won’t), you’d be 6 points clear of third with the best GD in the league. I’d love to think you could be caught but the...

I love it, I can’t imagine anywhere else as home. The Cobbold Stand is great to look at but horrible to sit in. whatever they do they need to keep the “Ipswich Town Football club” that runs across the top of the stand in the same font it’s in now. It’s been there, unchanged since my first game...

The away fans stuck in the corner next to a stand full of old men and kids isn’t ideal for creating an atmosphere. The Cobbold stand you would have been in today is 55 years old, it’s has it. Tired, outdated, awful facilities, lots of restricted views, minimal leg room etc. there’s a lot of talk...
