And the plan within Ipswich is to be in the PL sooner rather than later. Isn't that the plan/hope for every club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few clubs, such as Villa or Newcastle are actually having a solid plan to make this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 If we have to tolerate an east anglian club in the PL then I would rather have Ipswich who might show a modicum of ambition and attempt to actually invest and stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as they have not managed to get back for so long they will really make a go of it, with norwich they just yo-yo. i liked it in colchester when i have been a few times so i hope they can have a good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the season we finished runners up to utd norwich finished 3rd in 92/93 season. Look at the table back then to now. Its mental how much its mental how much its changed.

Broadhead's a good striker, can see him hitting 15 + this seaso and also becoming Wales first choice CF so Ipswich will make a nice profit on him even if they don't go up. I think they've got the momentum Sunderland had 12 months ago which is often telling for these type of clubs so wouldn't shock me at all if they were seriously in contention for 6th in April. No Lambert to send them down this time I'm afraid Naarrrrwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted August 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2023 If people think Ipswich could go up then why not Argyle? They did better than Ipswich last year, have improved their squad this summer and had a better opening result. I dont think either of them are close to going up.

I expect leicester to walk the league with saints and leeds in mix for top two. Two teams i think that could be in mix are coventry and stoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naaaaarch Posted August 8, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2023 I think there's significantly more quality in the division this time around versus last season. Both sets of teams promoted/relegated into the league are better and I think a majority of the basket case sides from last year (Us, Watford, Stoke, Cardiff and Birmingham) appear to be on the upturn. Momentum and a well implemented style can certainly take you places in any league and both Argile and Town have that but I can't see it being enough to genuinely challenge the top 6. As a Norwich fan I'm thankful Ipswich weren't in the division last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Another defeat for QPR. I fear Gareth Ainsworth will soon be looking for another club. It just hasn't worked out for him there sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Ipswich make best start to a Championhip season since QPR ten years ago, the Bielsa Leeds teams or Wolves when they were promoted didn't have as many points as Ipswich have now after eleven games; eight points clear of third place and eleven point cushion on seventh place. Shows how well Leicester are going as they have even more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
