splendidrush 699 Posted December 14, 2019 I read that dylan, not surprised that supporters that always bang on about their history should also have a seventies attitude towards crowd behavior. Sad times in Suffolk ☹ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,634 Posted December 15, 2019 It has only taken them a year to cotton on! To be fair to the supporters they were deep in the mire and were always going to cling on to whatever hope they could. Second place in the league isn’t so bad but does seem to be hiding a shedload of issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,424 Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) They are very lucky that the standard this year is terrible - according to most sensible football people . They have relied on several 1.0 wins against poor sides. Their cheapo version of Holt - described as a “character” (can’t recall his name) isn’t setting the world on fire is he ? And Dozzels lad (next Keiran Dyer) can’t get in the team. PR Paul bought them all a beer yesterday didn’t he? Must have cost around £20 I reckon apparently Mucus is being asked to “spend big” in the window. We’ll see.

K Lo 221 Posted December 15, 2019 If I were an Ipswich, other than being eternally embarrassed, I'd be fairly satisfied with the current status. Looks at where Cov, Portsmouth, Sunderland & Bolton are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,456 Posted December 15, 2019 I believe they only have one win against a team in the top half of the table which is a nice stat 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks at where Cov, Portsmouth, Sunderland & Bolton are. The first three of those are only a couple of wins away from when Ipswich are. On current form Ipswich could easily be sucked back down into the underachievers' ball in mid-table. Think back to our season in League One, and remember how hideous it was early on, being stuck in mid-table and then dragging our way into the play-offs, before riding that wave of momentum all the way to the title. Ipswich look like they're doing it in reverse, and it'd be hilarious if they don't make it back up. Might be enough for Mucus to pull the plug and leave them to 'do a Bolton'.

East Rider 548 Posted December 15, 2019 They are a self entitled bunch who simply because of past events expect to dominate that division.

Jobsworth Canary 168 Posted December 17, 2019 So a club whose debts far outweigh their assets surely they should not be allowed to continue in the football league if there isn’t there should be debt rules in place meaning insolvent clubs shouldn’t be allowed to be league members Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't FFP used to be based around turnover/ wage ratio? Now its losses over a three year period. What keeps them even slightly sensible is the player sales.

Graham Paddons Beard 2,424 Posted December 17, 2019 Ha ha Lambert is great isn’t he? All the other teams play better against the Binners because of their size and history . The big teams that have been in the Third Division don’t appear to include us (even though he was the manager ) . Losing three games is “nothing”. Actually Paul , it’s three. And finally People in Suffolk sit on their arsesand take 4 weeks to say yes. I’m not sure where he is going with that ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willmeister 35 Posted December 17, 2019 My favourite thread on there is their highlights of the decade. Best they can muster is going top on Boxing Day then pissing it away and two equalisers against us in the playoffs. Could you imagine the best part of a decade was briefly equalising and then losing to your closest rivals in the playoffs? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you imagine the best part of a decade was briefly equalising and then losing to your closest rivals in the playoffs? If this is true then that is an absolute shocker and quite frankly embarrassing for them. I know they have been in the doldrums for a couple of decades but there must be other highlights? Didn't they clean a stand one year, that is surely momentous and deserves a place amongst their recent achievements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,088 Posted December 17, 2019 A highlight for me if I was a Town supporter would be understanding wtf Lambert is trying to say. “You’ve got to wake it up, whether it’s through criticism or support. And I’d rather have that than play in front of 12,000 people, that’s for sure.” ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
