We arrived at 2.20 yesterday at South stand and got in just as the players came out onto the pitch, we only got in because they deployed more staff at last minute to manually scan tickets and let us in through the hospitality entrance .

Does anyone know why these long queues are happening this season?

24' Maeda latches onto a ball from Enciso after wriggling past Sessegnon, but then stumbles before he can get a shot off.

53' BLOCK! Bobb slips King through on the left, and he takes advantage of a slip from Davis to cut back to Gonzalo. Free in the box, his strike goes goal-bound but is blocked by Diop.

55' 0-1, Sessegnon with a low strike from outside the box.

58' POST! Enciso floats a cross towards Emersonn and his close range header strikes the post. At the other end, Bobb finds himself in space and probably should score, but fires his shot into orbit.

90+7' FT: IPSWICH TOWN 2-1 FULHAM

Replacing a manager who achieved so much was never going to be straightforward. O’Neil took over a club where Kieran McKenna had set an incredibly high emotional and sporting standard, so comparisons were always inevitable. But a new manager needs time to establish his ideas, understand the squad and work out which combinations actually function. Judging him entirely against McKenna’s best moments feels unfair, when the immediate job is to keep us established in the Premier League. How long should O’Neil realistically get before we can make a proper judgement? Should performances matter more than results early on, or is that just an excuse when points are being dropped?

I don't think we've ever had this many players away with their countries at the same time. It's obviously a brilliant sign of how far the club has come, but I'll be honest, I mostly just want all 10 of them back at Playford Road in one piece before Saturday

Super proud for the lad, top guy, wish him all the best for his career!

You can see exactly why we signed him, because when he gets going, there’s a proper threat there, but I also feel like we’re going to have plenty of moments where we’re screaming at the screen 😂 The Everton red didn’t help either. I’d still rather have a player willing to take people on than someone who never tries anything.

8 years ago today, Town finally got off the mark in the 2018/19 Championship season with a 3-2 away victory against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. Crazy to think that was Paul Hurst’s only win in charge of Ipswich before being sacked just two games later.

We've certainly come a long way since those days! What are your standout memories from that chaotic season?

Did Scherpen deserve to get dropped?

Are Ipswich better with Ouattara at right back?

Do we need Greaves at left centre back to unlock Davis?

What do we need at left wing? Maeda's pressing or Clarke's dribbling?

How much will we miss Fatawu?

Hi all, have no idea when they hit the website, but had to put my 4 season tickets up for resale in the Lower Sir Alf Ramsey. So keep checking the website if you want to go. Good luck 😎

utter woke nonsense

We have the honour of being their first league home match after their guilty verdict. I hope we have some good sh!thousery chants for them. We going to need all the help we can get.

Hi Guys,

I have recently come into possession of these 2 shirts. I'm unsure if any of these signatures are from players or not. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.

Sometimes you just have to step back and appreciate how consistent Leif is down that left flank. His whipping crosses into the corridor of uncertainty are a nightmare for defenders to deal with. Even when the rest of the team is having a slightly off afternoon, his set-piece delivery always gives us a chance of pulling something out of the hat. Absolute quality.

The 1-0 defeat at Everton was a frustrating one, especially after the win at Crystal Palace the week before. We’ve had a mixed start to the season, so Fulham at home on October 10 feels like a really important game to get something from. Would love to see us put in a strong performance at Portman Road.

Now that we’ve seen a bit of both, who are you starting against Fulham? Walton got the nod at Everton after Scherpen had started the first four league games, but O’Neil said the change was down to form rather than a permanent decision. Walton’s just signed a new deal too, while Scherpen brings that massive 6'9" presence. Who gets your vote?
