Think they’ve miscalculated - what with having more fingers and thumbs.

We need another screen. I sit underneath the screen and it's a right ballache trying to look up at it.

I always take a "Tranny" 😉 with me

Mel had good intentions and backed the club with a crazy amount of money. For me it was poor recruitment of both players and managers along with a very poor recruitment team that was his failing. If you look at how carefully David Clowes is going about the rebuild it shows up much of Mel’s poor decision making.

He isn't taking part in the current series, but what do you guys think he'd make if he was to enter?

There’s no reason why we won’t finish in the top two. I’m expecting a very good season from us.

Greetings,  Ipswich  fan here, but don't worry I won't be making any more posts other than just this one.
I'd just like to say how pleased I was that Jackson got a really good move to a good club when he left Town,  and more so that he seems to have had a pretty good start with you.
KJ has had some footballing journey. He literally won a competition to be a pro footballer with Swindon Town,  only to spend his time there loaned out to Swindon Supermarine and various other non-league teams, before finally working his way into the football league and then getting what must have seemed like a dream move for him Championship Ipswich.  Unfortunately for KJ it was at a time when Town were utterly rubbish.  Hurst had just come in as manager,  sold anyone decent (Martyn Waghorn and Adam Webster most notably)  and replaced them with a bunch of league one players unproven at a higher level,  most of whom were individually not up to Championship level and collectively way off it.  Only Jackson and Janoi Donacien came good, and it took time for both of them. The end result was that Town got relegated with barely a whimper.
I'd like to say that in the lower league KJ shone, but he didn't.  He was mostly decent and put a shift in but wasn't really at the sort of level that would help get us promoted back to the Championship.  After an up and down few years under Pauls Lambert and Cook he ended up training with the under 23s and was in the 'bomb squad' those players that Cook wanted to shift on.
Then  McKenna took over and transformed him.  He seemed to gain confidence and though he was mostly a 'finisher' coming on as a sub more often than being in the starting eleven, particularly at Championship level,  he never let us down, always worked hard and made a lot of crucial contributions,  more in terms of making chances for others than scoring himself, including one of the best assists I was all last seasn where he put a low cross right onto Nathan Broadhead's toe for what was a lovely finish,  Broady could be seen mouthing 'what a ball' to KJ afterwards.  He did also score some crucial goals for us too,  a wonderful goal against Sunderland and another against Stoke after making space with some lovely movement stood out for me.
Just as importantly he always had a terrific attitude,   just about every fan who has met seems to have nothing but positive things to say about him, he does seem to be a genuinely great guy.  This, quite moving, post on TWTD gives a hint of what he's like https://www.twtd.co.uk/forum/548325/5423156/
Anyway, we paid about £1.5m for him when he was far from the finished product, you have picked him up on a free after McKenna worked his magic for him.  You have got an absolute steal.   I wish both KJ and yourselves well for the coming seasns.
Anyway, that's it from me. Over and Out. Uppa Town

Pinched from the Bristol forum……………. just after we’d gone 3-0 up.
This Derby side is absolutely awful as well and this isn't being bitter either, player for player we're better

I’ve seen that. Heading to Morley Hayes I’m thinking. 

Thanks for your kind words. Mate. 

Blimey, Barrow …. The longest cul de sac in the whole of the UK. Disgraceful.
