CANARYKING 634 Posted March 19, 2023 …. For years we have been the dominant team in East Anglia. Next season you know who and us will very probably be in the same League, not looking forward to the derbies, will the cycle of being unbeaten finally end. Tin hat on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the Germans 1,070 Posted March 19, 2023 "Very probably"? They are third. Don't get me wrong, they definitely have a reasonably good chance, but I would not call it very probable. Football is cyclical, you didn't expect to be above them forever more did you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,514 Posted March 19, 2023 You know thinking about it the last time they beat us was April 2009. Blimey, a lot has happened since then. A whole 14 years ago.. I would say I feel sorry when I see young Ipswich fans under 14 as they have never seen their team beat us but I don't as it is quite funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would suggest in excess of 20 years. It is doubtful that even at 6 you really grasp the implication. Mind you, I am sure they get shown sepia tinted photos of them winning something.

BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Anybody who is a bit interested in the fortunes of ITFC will know that they always seem to take two steps forward and one step backwards. It has been a joy observing the pantomime of them trying to get out of League 1. for the last four seasons. Managers have come and gone to no avail. They even welcomed Paul Lambert without realising that an envied recollection of his achievements with us should not have disguised his pretty abject managerial performances since he chased the Villa dollar. He did buy them a round of drinks after all. Whether the latest guy is the real deal is a difficult one to assess as he has been very well funded for that league and even then if he does finally get them up it will likely be through the play-offs because they have to overtake Plymouth along with our own Bali Mumba. Yes, Plymouth Argyl (named after a pub) and a youngster sent out on loan for a season in order to be more ready to appear in the yellow. I suspect that if they do get promotion, that they will stay in the Chumps comfortably (as long as they hang onto McKenna) whilst not being anything more than mid-table. Even then this will require further investment, imo. Whether they will be capable of eventually beating us sooner rather than later. Well! A fair amount of water has to flow under the bridge before the prospect of even a local derby is to take place next season. However, as I see it, they are more likely to fail in their play-offs though than we are to even get into ours at the moment. I for one, have moments of optimism that Wagner will get the act together and that we will succeed, although this stance is becoming more difficult by the week to maintain. Opposing managers to the man seem to rate us, and this must mean something. Edited March 19, 2023 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Channon’s Windmill 297 Posted March 19, 2023 If…….if they go up, I’m assuming we will have a totally different team. If they were to play us right now I would be concerned, we have ZERO fight or resilience in the team. But like I said next season I am sure things will pick up once DW has a transfer window and we are able to cull the deadwood ( no small task). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 402 Posted March 19, 2023 It's going to end at some point, but you just know it's going to end with ecstatic celebrations and a carnival atmosphere in ip****. Personally I'd be a little coy about a first win in 14+ years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you say the same about fight/resilience after Millwall? I doubt it. And people do seem to be putting a lot of store on DW having a transfer window. This rather forgets that our transfer windows have been rather poor for several years with perhaps a one-in-four success rate (being generous). Given most of it is down to Webber, there’s a fair chance it’ll be more down to what we already have here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 628 Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Not convinced they’re coming up. Automatics is a possibility because Plymouth seem to be feeling the pressure but if they end up in the playoffs I can see them messing it up. Is it four or five years they’ve been down there? That should give an indication that they’re not very good. 😊 Edited March 19, 2023 by Hairy Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary73 148 Posted March 19, 2023 I'd still make Argyle favourites. Shrewsbury in 10th are the highest team they will play in their remaining fixtures whereas the Binners still have to go to Derby, Barnsley and Peterborough. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heading South 24 Posted March 19, 2023 They are definitely on an upward curve , according to some stats Thayer are currently the most inform team in Europe , have scored most goals , have most wins and GD as nearly all the top teams inc Prem . Something has really clicked at Poorman Rd , and that manager apparently is very astute and will be sort after shortly . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
