    There’ll be big PL clubs in for him before long. He’s done well for Ipswich, a lot better than I was expecting after watching him in the championship

    To be fair they’ve made a lot of average players decent. Manager and coaches are doing a hell of a job. The squad they had last season was thrown together with lower league signings and players like Morsy and Luongo who’d not really done anything whatsoever. We rave about our lads but what they done last season was mental, there’s absolutely no chance of us doing that and you’d argue we have a better squad than they did. People were laughing when they were throwing £20m about here or there in the summer but they deserved the benefit of the doubt.

    Bang on mate. It’s mental how bitter some have been about Ipswich recently. Fair play I say

    I’m not sad enough to trail back but there’s definitely been some of it. ‘They’re in big bother if they don’t go up’ etc etc. but up they went and fair play.

    The job mckenna has done is unreal, improved pretty much every player he's worked with

    Don't know what your meaning with 'there'd absolutely no chance of us doing that' - if you mean get promoted then we can def do it

    My Leeds supporting mate says he has a feeling we will be this yrs Ipswich (challenging for top 2 against expectation), and he's actually more worried about us than Burnley

    Yeah, it's proven tbh, look at Watson and Rigg. Your elite talents should always be given an opportunity at home unless you can't find a place.

    I'm proud of my Liam Delap call. He was a major risk but he had all the attributes, was just needing a season to put it all together. I thought that'd be in the championship, but it being in the Prem has probably boosted his transfer fee to 30 million should Ipswich go down. If he keeps it up anyway.

    We can get promotion defo but not the way they did last year imo, we won’t go up with close to 100 points it was ridiculous. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter how you go up but they done it in style and twice on the bounce.

    Worth saying I’m not just saying we can’t do it, I don’t think anyone will repeat what they done for a long time.

    See comment above. Two promotions on the bounce and close to 100 points. We can defo get promoted this season but we won’t match how they done it, it was extraordinary they already had over 50 points at this stage iirc and most would agree it was a tougher league.

    That’s fair enough, I wasn’t really paying attention to the thread.

    I thought you meant people were bitter now, I don’t think many care that much tbh.

    I think people were more anti-Ipswich when they were rivals, I was, but don’t mind them now …

    … tbh I’m the same with everyone in the Championship this season <laugh>

    I used to see him in the Derby academy as a kid. He had all the talent. I didnt think Man City was the right move for him and he would have been better with Derby. Glad he is now a first teamer and showing his abilities, the lad can go to the top imo.

    Evening chaps. Haven't been on here for a while.

    Just watching a bit of Luton, they're absolutely turd.

    Would anyone try and get Adebayo in Jan? Looks like a lad crying out for a new team/move, think his contract is up soon too.

    He's Roberts best mate too
