A knee injury of the worst kind for Robert Scott
20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Ipswich Town lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market28 Dec 2026
Jack Clarke hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ipswich Town can pretend not to have heard.

A fracture rules Gerrard Buabo out for 21 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Ipswich Town will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
The dugout28 Dec 2026
Eliot Matazo: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Ipswich Town have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Match26 Dec 2026
Ipswich Town make home a hard place to visit
12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Sport Recife come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Ipswich Town did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Marcelino Núñez has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Ipswich Town can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Tempers go at Ipswich Town
Marcelino Núñez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Loan watch28 Dec 2026
The goals keep arriving from Sam Szmodics’s exile
16 goals in 22 games at Derby County — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Ipswich Town updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.
