Out of the cup(s) and it's all about the league now. I expect a few tweaks and some solid performances with the points and higher league placing to show for it between now and the end of the season. Keep the faith Town fans!

Think we can get point on sat If Hudson stops messing about...
No chance at Boro
Wigan is winnable
Hopefully smash the Liids
Imo 5 points from 12

Unfortunately, it is not difficult to see us with 1 or less? Watford are a good side, Boro in right streak of form, Wigan away will be tricky and even though Leeds are shite, Local derbies can go either way. Fingers crossed and hoping (& cheering) for the best! |

Its a very unpredictable division and Town are a very unpredictable team in it.
As with most other clubs, the difference between fending off relegation and pushing for a playoff place is pretty minimal- in our case its a reasonably prolific striker to put away a decent amount of the chances that we create, as creating chances hasn't been an issue in most games. We just waste so many of them its untrue.
If we can't sort that out then I predict we'll finish more or less where we are now ( hopefully). If we can then theres no reason why we can't finish much higher than we did last time- top half.
Thats the championship- the form of just one player can be the difference between 18th or 8th.

Ipswich aren't full of stars are they, man for man, how far in front of the teams below them are they? Consistency and a tad more luck will see us pull clear from the bottom of the table. |

I love some Town fans blind faith. If we get some decent signings, ship out the shite we've got oursens lumbered with then, we'll see what happens but Town couldn't win a raffle at the minute.

Home league forms pretty good. W 5, D 3, L1 of the last 9.
Weve struggled away over the same period but had some of the toughest fixtures to be fair. Not that any away games are easy at this level.
saying we couldn't win a raffle at the moment is monumentally stupid even by arts standards when we won the last one!

Its not scoring goals which is the problem........its shipping em at the other end! We have the worst defensive record in the division except for fulham....and only 11 teams have scored more....indeed sheff wed have scored only just more than half what we have and sit 10th! 30 goals in 24 games aint that bad, but 4 clean sheets in 24 (27. Incl cup games) is dire. I nderstand we have had a tendency to not take chances at important times in games, but the old adage of keep clean shhets and The worst we can do is draw remains. |

Agreed except when Powell tries to instill that into the players they take it 100% literally and make no attempts at all to win the games- content to gain a 'shut out.' When we play naturally we play some nice stuff and are a threat...but inevitably some individual defensive extreme shitness or woefully wasteful finishing costs us the 3 points. Rotherham a case in point. |

Especially given that we beat a team who'd won 5, drawn 3 & lost NONE of their previous 8 games. Then there's the previous home game but one against Brentford, who in an 8 game sequence, won 7 & lost 1. I wonder who the loss was against? I despair at some of the negative shit that's posted on here. |

Hogg not being available for Saturday isn't a great place to start a run from but overall if we get Bolton performances people will feel happier with their lot than if we get rubbish like last Saturday.
We should have enough to stay away from a last day nail-biter but a couple of astute additions this month would help.
I'd settle for better performances and a bit of belief. Do that and we'll be comfortably safe and can look to what we might want to achieve next season.

We all have witnessed what kind of a performance this town team are capable of, but that can only happen if players can create space to play their very impressive passing game. Towns style of play has been very " predictable " over the recent months especially down the wings, and one reason how most championship managers have found ways to stop certain members of the team doing what they are good at. There is no such thing as a jan'window quick fix at this level , but priority must be to vastly improve towns dreadful defensive record .

Your right mate of course. But defending is an entire team thing that isn't an easy fix. Ours obviously needs improving as the stats prove. But finishing chances is often a one player issue really. A striker who scores a reasonable amount of the chances we present to him. Another thing we lack IMO. If we had that one player then are position in the table would be hugely improved, even with the leaky defence at the other end. |

Nakhi has a better than 1 in 3 record despite playing in a poor team and up front on his own for large swathes of his time here. Get him a partner, play with a higher tempo and we will be fine ........ if that means losing Vaughan to accommodate it then so be it IMHO. |

Jury's still very much out on Wells IMO. Seems a bit of a sulker at times. Not been overly impressed with his effort in a lot of games. Touch isn't the best and for a slight bloke he needs to have a lot more fight about him if he isn't going to be muscled out of any 50/50 challenge.
1 in 3 isn't disastrous but its not brilliant either. Would give him 15 over a whole league season. For the amount of chances that fall his way, id like to see him do a lot better than that. And i think we need better than that too.
