The Championship Thread 2023/2024

The only surprise was that the winner wasn’t deflected

There's still going to be twists and turns. Ipswich got their derby next week and still have to go to Hull and Coventry. 

 

5 wins from our 7 games will do it comfortably.

He has a squad that's been built for the way he wants to play, he can bring on 4 - 5 high energy subs that make a difference against tiring opponents, it's huge for them and a big reason why they keep getting very late goals

That's the Key to it. He's been able to bring in his own players and build for success. Wheras Enzo has had to make do with what Rogers left him.

You make your own luck.

Cant be that lucky for nearly 2 seasons.

I agree with Vacamions post.

He fell over FFS and that allowed him to toe poke it in 😂

 

They're unbelievably lucky

If there wasn't the threat of it being at our expense,  I think every one of us would like Ipswich to get promoted.

 

There's a lot to be desired about the consistency, grit & achievements of a group of players most haven't even heard of outside of Ipswich.

Ipswich got better with the subs, changes all 3 attackers every game I've seen them and nearly always have an impact. Maybe he should.get the team right in the first place 

 

Opposite Southampton got worse with their subs.

5 wins would still be relying on Ipswich to only get 13 from their last 6, so dropping points in at least 2 or 3 of them. That's not happening. I think we need to get to 101.

I'd like to see their shot conversion rate. Obviously there's an element of skill to that but it does feel that the majority of their shots manage to find their way into the back of the net. 

 

The equaliser was a first time pot shot out of nothing and the winner looked like more of a breakdance than a recognised footballing manoeuvre.

They got the freedom to shoot on sight which is harder to defend against as its unpredictable, and puts less pressure on the player to get it right, as it doesnt need to be a walk it in the net goal.

[Clever Fox]

You have to credit Ipswich for never giving up in adversity.

Tbf, he was lucky that the ball was still there but his finish was class 

[Guest Lcfc82]

Ipswich have got quite a tough run in, will definitely drop some points.

[RowlattsFox]

It's funny that Leeds won the league a few weeks ago yet all of a sudden have to win or will be 4 points off the top. 

[Pliskin]

Ipswich are finishing top two. No doubt about it.

[FrankieADZ]

dont get me wrong credit ipswich but the officials played a massive part in that win for them

[wokinghamfox]

Ipswich were battered for 70 minutes of that game but were like men possessed in the last 20. Their run in is a little easier than ours. They seem to be able to clutch a victory from sure defeat.

We have to win the rest of our games..simple

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I fancy Hull preventing Leeds from winning. Hull are a very good away side and it’s a spicy local derby

[Aleksz]

Anyone that says that Ipswich aren’t jammy need to give their head a wobble, they consistently over perform XG - the amazing thing is that it’s been sustainable.

 

Every week it’s a late winner via a deflection, goalkeeping error, poor refereeing or down right spawn. The lad literally slips on his initial shot and still musters a toe poke to roll in

 

Absolutely obscene 

[Md9]

Ain’t getting my hopes up for a hull result either at least we did what we needed today 

[Swarles Barkley]

Come on Hull you got this you bastards

Doesn't look that tough

[RonnieTodger]

I’d love to see how many equalisers/winners they’ve had beyond 90 minutes.

4 wins a draw and a loss is hardly an outrageous prediction is it, considering their run of fixtures

For some reason I read the “and still have to go to…” bit of your post like circa 1996 Kevin Keegan
