Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted March 31, 2010 Ipswich did well in 2000/1:''The team performed commendably in their first season back in the Premier League, finishing in fifth position, as well as reaching the League Cup semi-final for a third time''. Winning is a habit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 5,062 Posted March 31, 2010 [quote user="lmc"]At the moment I''d be happy just to stay up next season (should always be the main priority of a promoted team, consolidate and then anything more is a bonus), but I''m hopeful that with a good summer and us carrying on as we have done for the past 7/8 months then we might sneak a top half finish. Anyone who mentions the play offs as being a realistic aim for next season needs their head looking at in my opinion.[/quote]Can you recommend a good Psychiatrist?

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted March 31, 2010 [quote user="lappinitup"][quote user="BlyBlyBabes"]Yep, I think we should be ambitious and go for it as far as possible, but without breaking the bank. [/quote]I think that''s called "ambition with prudence" Bly. I seem to recall hearing that before somewhere![;)][/quote]No Lap.I''ve tried consistently on this forum to try and point out that what we actually got was ''prudence with (a little)ambition''. That is a long way different - both practically and psychologically - from what in my view we really neeeded which was ''ambition with prudence''. Our troika still seems pretty focussed and ambitious. So I hold out hope.Ambition to me is as much ''a state of mind'' as ''a sole function of the state of the coffers''. And that is an understanding we have been clearly lacking in the past few years.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25overpar 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Pretty much agree with this CF, but so far we seem to be following in Leicester''s footsteps and look where they are right now. The thing that bothers me is that if we don''t continue to make the rapid progress we currently are making, how long will we be able to hang on to PL? I think we all realise he and his management team are essential to our continued success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wazzock 919 Posted April 1, 2010 My honest prediction for next season is...We will be in the Championship.[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Provided we go up, of course, and Team Lambo are still here, a top six place in the Championship. In fact, I shall be disappointed with anything less! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
