6088m canary 0 Posted February 16, 2011 No im not talking about Man City''s crap song.....Actually nice to see Ipswich on a good run of form....just goes to show what sides are capable of when they have a decent manager. Lambert tranformed a side that Gunn could easily have got relegated from League One, and Jewell is now guiding Ipswich to where they should be (challenging playoff spots).Would love to see a playoff final involving us two (if we cant grab 2nd :P)....thought im not sure any of our nerves could take it.

BroadstairsR 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Hang on a bit. I think its nice to see them out of the Keane doldrems, mainly because of my disliking for the man. However, play-offs? Perpetual mid-table or below for our rivals please. The new manager syndrome is working well for them at the moment and it seems that the players are playing with a freedom now that they have no one to be afraid of. Let''s see if it carries through to next season. Jewell''s job was made easier this season because of the Keane factor. Next season will be the one for them, (It''s a bit too late this, especially as they have a tough fixture list to contend with.) They could compete at the top or drift back to the ordinary as PJ''s sides have often done. They will likely lose Bullard for a starters. Not that it will effect us as we will be in the Premiership (hic.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bovril 214 Posted February 16, 2011 I''m one of the fans that wants us ideally both to go up so we can have the derby in the premiership...In the short-term Jewell is doing a great job there and it could actually be exactly what we need. Thanks to Keane they''re too far behind to make a late charge at the play-offs ala Leicester but as a previous poster pointed out still have to play alot of our promotion rivals.Hence, they could do us some huge favours in taking points off the likes of Cardiff, Forest, Leeds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted February 16, 2011 You can only beat the team in front but so far they have beaten a Derby side who had just sold there best player, Sheffield United who are probably the worst team in the league at the moment and Doncaster who for some unknown reason have had a bad run of results (possibly injuries to key players) and a draw against a Barnsley.Let''s see how they do against Cardiff and the likes. - I also think that Jewell has be fortunate to get Wickham back as he seems to be a key player.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted February 16, 2011 They''ve only played one team in the top half of the table since Jewell took over (which they lost vs Millwall), lets see how they get on in their next half dozen fixtures against some of the top sides before starting to talk of rivivals.

Jacko 0 Posted February 16, 2011 They are not going to make the playoffs. They have too much ground to make up on the top 6. Throw in the very impressive form of Leicester, the improvement of Burnley under Eddie Howe and there are also too many teams chasing the top 6 as well. Ipswich to be fair have a pretty decent squad. Its just Keane''s man management skills were absolutely zero and people were scared of playing for him. So I am not surprised they are climbing the table. However Keane''s decision to allow around 12 first team contracts (including Norris and McAuley) to potentially expire in the summer may come back to haunt them for next season.

NCFC_Thain 0 Posted February 16, 2011 @ The Great Drinkell - Doncaster have 7 first team players out and have very little strength in depth, hence the poor run of form Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
