God no, zero faith in us pulling this off.. but I know that is just conditioning from decades of supporting through years of almost criminal mismanagement of the club.
I can't relax at the moment, it's making me question if I can actually enjoy football.
For what it's worth my biggest fear/nagging doubt is that teams like Ipswich and Southampton will put on a massive
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.If he could wait until some time after December to sort it out please
Blackburn's form is now catching up with their underlying stats so will be a tough extra game to be thrown in.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.

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 year, albeit it is my favourite ever Ipswich goal in 50 years as a supporter.I believed Ipswich would dominate the league based on how much you manhandled us in the FA cup. Whilst we played a weakened side, the players you mentioned on the bench would start for most, if not all the teams in the league.
Too much competition is just as bad as no competition and that’s why McKenna doesn’t know his best eleven yet.
As for McKenna, are fans starting to doubt him? From the outside looking in, it looks like the old stalwarts leaving has changed the dynamics. A similar thing happened to us with Robins after 22/23.
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 win that one just because it’s how football works out more often than not.Blackburn's form is now catching up with their underlying stats so will be a tough extra game to be thrown in.

Usually only comes on the back of a management change/Overhaul?,expect a similar pattern without.Snap - why do we put ourselves through this

Mckenna's stock is falling all the time currently. He got you back to back promotions but you barely made a fist of it in the Prem and is doing nothing this season in what's a fairly poor standard Championship. I don't see any club getting to 90 points this season.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 cutting edge at times. Watford on Tuesday was another example of us creating good chances and not taking them.
As for McKenna. He’s got a huge contract - £5m a year apparently. Celtic won’t come close to that and won’t meet his release clause (again £5m according to reports). I don’t think he’ll go there but it’s a case of when not if he leaves. Despite recent results and last season I wouldn’t swap him for any other manager in the EFL.

Well yeah, but just by the law of averages, we are more than likely to suffer further injuries to key players as the season wears on.In all seriousness, Rudoni coming back is going to make a huge difference over the final furlong

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.I would if I was them. The fact the game is being replayed from scratch after Blackburn were winning 1-0 v 10 men with ten mins left is a joke
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.I’m really starting to believe
how many signings would we need in prem??
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 from 12 suggest we’re getting there.Mckenna's stock is falling all the time currently.

If you don't get promoted this season it will be back to back failures and with owners as they are now Mckenna will probably be getting a nice compensation package.
You’d have to decide who can make the step up and work from thereI’m really starting to believe

I thinkYou’d have to decide who can make the step up and work from there
Wright if he sorted his consistency out would be a yes. Rudoni also.I think
Rushworth if signed yes
Mve yes
Thomas yes
Grimes yes
Then it gets into the realms of maybes and hell nos
