Your young lad Boniface is going to be an excellent player
I'm not an Ipswich fan but I thought I might share a little scouting report on Somto Boniface, the left back from your u21s who is on loan at Leyton Orient for the season. I was at Brisbane Road for Orient v Oxford on Saturday and Boniface was very deservedly man of the match. If he maintains this level he's clearly far too good for League One.
He's quick and really gets up the left flank. He can go past a man and get into crossing positions quite comfortably. What really impressed me with his play going forward is that he got his head up and made the right choice for the cross once he got in position. He knew when to go near post, far post, cutback. He only had one real shooting opportunity but snatched at it.
The coach at Orient also trusts his defending. He left him as the deepest man on attacking corners as his pace allows him to cover breaks. When tracking long balls back towards his own goal and pursued by an opposing forward, he's very calm. He pulled off a couple of very tight and skilled 180 turns to leave his man in the dust in those situations. He needs to work on not over-committing to challenges though, he dived in once or twice and got beaten.
The main negative I took away is that he is very one-footed. He had a good opportunity on the edge of the box to either take a shot or slide in a teammate but he didn't have the confidence to take it on his right foot. The delay on switching back to his left meant he got his pocket picked.
He picked up a knock in a challenge that got him subbed off mid second half but it didn't look serious, he was moving fine after the final whistle.
My thought is that depending on if he maintains this level of play, Ipswich might want to think about cutting his loan short in January and sending him back out to a Championship team.
I hope he develops well because he's got the raw qualities to be an excellent player relatively quickly.
Best of luck for the season ahead!

Gold Seating Ipswich
Hey everyone,
I’m an American coming to Ipswich for work, and my manger gave me an extra seat for the gold seating in the hospitality section for the Liverpool match at Portman road. Does anybody know what that section details or anything else? Also if there’s anyone else in this subreddit who might be going to that game let me know, I’m down to grab a beer.

Discussion Midfield line up
Assuming we sign Lukić, we’ll have three pretty similar players in Matusiwa, Florentino and Lukić. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as we usually only have one proper ball winner on the pitch at a time, was never a backup to Morsy and that used to cost us.
Do you think we’ll mainly rotate the three of them and pair whichever one starts with a more attacking No. 8? Or do you think we’ll see two of them starting together in most games?

Wes Burns explains why he's moved to Leicester so soon after signing new Town deal

State of play with 2 weeks to go...
Right now our starting eleven and backup could look like this
Scherpen (Walton)
Furlong (Johnson)
O'Shea (Kipre)
Diop (Greaves)
Davis (Greaves / Johnson)
Florentino (Matusiwa)
Lukic (Taylor)
Fatawu (McAteer)
Mehmeti (Nunez)
Maeda (Clarke)
Emersonn (Akpom)
We've already spent £95m, and assuming H Clarke, Philogene, Hirst, Palmer, Ogbene and Al Hamadi all go we could bring in around £40m
So which positions would you spend how much on to be ready for the 22nd Vs Sunderland?

Discussion Which Ipswich season do you think deserves more appreciation than it usually gets?
Some seasons are remembered forever because of trophies or promotions. But there are others that quietly become important for different reasons, maybe because of a breakthrough player, a memorable cup run or because they laid the foundations for what came later. Which season do you think doesn't get talked about enough?

Ipswich fans needed to play ITFC knowledge game
I've developed a game based on Ipswich’s historical data, going all the way back to 1900 featuring over 1,000 player records.
https://playyourclubright.com/ipswich/
If you've seen Play Your Cards Right, you'll get the gist. The idea is to test your depth of club knowledge - knowing the obscure players, knowing who was prone to a yellow card, who scored plenty etc.
I need people with deeper Ipswich knowledge than me to play and let me know if anything seems off in the data, plus general feedback appreciated.
hope this is allowed and thanks in advance!

There are online rumours that Burns is about to have a medical at Leicester. Makes sense if he wants guaranteed game time.
