His stock is falling with the rest of the Football community. He was being linked with Man U last year!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.
I think we have from a numerical POV?last 5 games we’ve not been performing at autos level

It’s also been done while carrying a lot of fitness issues and to reiterate, since Rudoni’s injury we have won every game except one where half a team was missing.Winning 4 games from 5 when not at your best is exactly what teams challenging for the autos do.
And we were never going to keep up the momentum of the first 13 games, that was an insane start to the season.
who remembers our first season down - we were top or there about at Christmas only to fail to win a game after Jan till the end of the season - i won’t believe ever until it’s mathematically certain- this is CCFC after all
There are some mitigating circumstancesNot yet
Don't get me wrong, this is our best chance in the 25 years we've been away without question
However it can and sometimes does go completely tits up. Look at Walsall last year. 19 points clear of the play offs in mid January. Didnt even go up
I reckon I'll still be reading online that we haven't played anyone yet even then.See how we are placed after playing everyone once. If we are still top 2 we should get auto place provided no long term injuries to key players, and we strengthen in January.
It's our best chance since relegation from PL.
it’s boring nowNot really sustainable though, we’ve been lucky to get some of those points.
Well we beat Blackburn despite not being at our best, Blackburn then went on a winning run including beating Leicester away.last 5 games we’ve not been performing at autos level
I mean I agree with all that- we have shown some great qualities in these games, taking our chances, getting ahead early and seeing out games extremely well. I’m just saying our general play has taken a dip and it needs to improve if we want to keep this up.Well we beat Blackburn despite not being at our best, Blackburn then went on a winning run including beating Leicester away.
Watford the game was over after 10 minutes whatever the stats say, they have been unbeaten since, including a creaming of Boro and draw away at Ipswich who everyone are still fretting over.
Wrexham we had half the team missing which unsurprisingly gave us our only defeat of the season.
Slaughtered the Blunts second half.
Won away at second in a game a lot of people thought we would lose and looked in control for all of it despite Robins' sour grapes.
I sure hope we have more shit runs of form like this.
Today was absolutely massive. I would have taken a draw considering the situation.
To get the win and the difference between a draw and win was big. 7 points vs 4 points clear of 3rd.
We're going to have another half dozen games like this that can make such a difference and if we lose them it's irrelevant but I think this is the first season defining games.

Thing is, we will be top after 16 games regardless
Dunno how that will affect the above, but I'm sure the stats look better on teams top after 16 games not 15
Sunderland dropped off the top game 16. One of the many markers for failure we’ve now passed.
I'd agree we need Rudoni back if you want to see us at our absolute best. Real top player. Fair to say we've done ok without though.I mean I agree with all that- we have shown some great qualities in these games, taking our chances, getting ahead early and seeing out games extremely well.

Need Rudoni back, or Eccles fit again (I think he’s struggling for fitness). Or maybe explore playing 5 at the back away from home.
Just okI'd agree we need Rudoni back if you want to see us at our absolute best. Real top player. Fair to say we've done ok without though.
If anyone else is playing crumble bingo, it’s game 21 for Cardiff.

We'd have to dig him up firstAs long as we don't bring Jim Smith in to work alongside Lampard we should be ok
There’s more detailed info on earlier pages. 75% chance we’ll go up automatically. There are several examples of peaks that have fallen away. Reading and PNE 2 times each, Cardiff, Forest, Leicester, Brentford and a couple more have missed out having been in the top 2 at this stage.Just see this on x. We are doing very well when compared to recently promoted sides.
I'm pleased you taught science and not maths1.5 points a game from now on gets us 90 points. Or in simple terms, alternate wins and losses for the rest of the season.
Our fixtures over the next couple of months are very tough. If we get through the next 10 games with 20 points and a relatively unscathed squad then I'd find any kind of drop off to be pretty unfathomable.
erm....that's 80 points surely (34+(15*3)) + say 1 draw1.5 points a game from now on gets us 90 points. Or in simple terms, alternate wins and losses for the rest of the season.
It will be we haven't played anyone on top form or something equally as frustrating or boring.I reckon I'll still be reading online that we haven't played anyone yet even then.
