What the hell has happened at Ipswich? They can’t seem to get going this season at all. Wonder if McKenna will get the boot soon. 

They're rise was so fast though 

I remember Benjamin bloom doing a video saying how quick rise is always followed by a bump back to Earth 

I did expect them to comfortably get promotion this season mind, they still might but they've started very slow for a side of their talent 

Such a weird league as usual, I thought Charlton looked very beatable on Saturday and if Ugbo didn’t have a 50p shaped head we would have drawn the game.  
 

Championship really is the “throw a blanket over the lot of them and see who comes out” league at times. 

Ipswich have lost the spark they had in their first few seasons under McKenna. 

They have a much better group of players than they did a few seasons ago but they are not a team anymore.

That L1 season of theres was beyond insane. 96 points with a +44 gd finished 3rd , and we got 76 with a +21 gd and didn't even make the playoffs. 

Ipswich spent most of that season hammering sides by 4 or 5 finishing with a +66 gd and still didn't win the league.

The gap in quality between the top and bottom in that season was enormous.

Someone was always going to miss out on an automatic spot, which if Wednesday hadn’t fallen apart would likely have been Ipswich.

Ipswich right now is a test of how good McKenna actually is. He rode the wave when he first started, and whilst the rise was impressive, the momentum kept them going. They got into a habit of winning and kept doing it.

A season at the top table, losing most weeks and a whole load of big money signings changes the dynamics, and now his biggest test is getting them to perform at the levels they should, in a division which many of their squad will feel is below them.

Millwall sliding under the radar yet again.

Id actually like to see someone like them have a shot in the Premier League.

They've just lost Luongo for the season.

So annoying Lampard is tearing it up with them 

They look so good 

Plymouth are sinking faster than the Titanic 

I had them down as top 2 and coming back up, currently sat 3rd bottom 13 points off the playoffs 

Pleased for Brian Barry-Murphy tonight. His Cardiff team looked decent against the Hollywood 11.

I like Plymouth. Stunned to see them down there. Wonder what has gone wrong.

@pafcprogs - is this a blip or are you in serious trouble?

McKenna now heavily linked with Celtic 

Ipswich talking about Solkjear, Cooper and O'Neil as likely replacements
