Apparently got a bit toxic in the Ipswich end at Wrexham yday - If they could collapse a bit it can only help our cause

Is everyone aware of the story behind that scene? It's a fab scene, but Ford was actually supposed to have a sword fight with the bloke, but had diarrhea on the day of filming, so they just had Indie shoot the baddie instead.

Love the story that this scene was supposed to be a big sword fight but Harrison Ford had the shots that day and didn’t want to do the whole thing so he and Spielberg just agreed to go with the shooting instead.

Seen a couple of Ipswich fans suggesting that he personally, is in the Premier League regardless of whether they go up this season or not so he may have mentally checked out a bit

Who knows, they still have the potential to go on a run of course but it does seem everyone has got them nailed on for the Top 2 apart from their own supporters

I am the opposite. I find him incredibly unlikeable to the point where id be delighted if he got no reaction from us whatsoever

I must admit disappointed with the way he left club.

Got to say he in virtually all the time at City he really tried for the cause. Remember some games he was kicked to pieces but carried on.

It’s their away form that’s a problem for them. They’re averaging less than 1.3 ppg on the road.

We’ve slipped to 1.5 ppg and that’s after going close to 3 months without a win away. Even if Ipswich win their games in hand, our away form is still better which says a lot.

If Ipswich don’t go up this season, it should be considered a major blot on McKenna’s CV because their squad is in my view, not that far away from last seasons Leeds/Burnley teams. In 23/24 their team hit 96 points with an objectively worse team. That is where they should be to be honest.

Will they pull the trigger soon if it doesn't change for them maybe in a couple of games time?

The team he took up had been together for a number of seasons and understood what he wanted from them very well (like our team this season). When you dismantle that and start again with very talented but unfamiliar players, it’s not a shock that they are currently performing less than the sum of their parts.

There’s a lesson in there for us if we go up.

plenty of the team have played together a lot, for example they have basically a former west brom defence wit Davis added as an outsider.

There is the issue, for all their spending they have managed to spend big on fucking west broms defence

Right, but my point is the core of the squad was removed.

it's not that, the have a team good enough to still win most games even as a scratch side

it's the insistence of making a back 4 of see ball kick ball defenders play out form the back added to a midfield tha has far too llitte quality for the amount of money spent

in the end they are a team of top level championship players and that is where they are
