Player ratings

Jack Clarke runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Azor Matusiwa pops up at the right end — 7.50

7.50, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Market

Jaden Philogene wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Ipswich Town hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

No hiding place for Titi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Titi, and the manager let it.

Squad

Words at Ipswich Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Wes Burns is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Adam Masina dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

Azor Matusiwa rescues a point for Ipswich Town

It needed Azor Matusiwa to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Derby County, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Adam Masina asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Player ratings

Off the bench and decisive: Sindre Walle Egeli

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Ipswich Town were going nowhere until he came on.

Player ratings

Jaden Philogene runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Ipswich Town

Leif Davis 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.

Squad

Mannou Berger gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Mannou Berger has just signed for Ipswich Town, and for once the answer mattered.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Ipswich Town

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Market

Ipswich Town may not be able to give Issa Diop what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Issa Diop wants continental football; whether Ipswich Town can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Cédric Kipré gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Christian Walton dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Middlesbrough came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Market

Ipswich Town add cover with Mannou Berger

It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Mannou Berger is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.

Match

No end in sight to Ipswich Town's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Ipswich Town has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Jaden Philogene wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Ipswich Town hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Player ratings

Azor Matusiwa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words at Ipswich Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adam Masina is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Adam Masina

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Jaden Philogene stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.57 on the card, and the Ipswich Town support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Christian Walton dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

A costly moment from Jens Cajuste

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Ipswich Town, and it is a cruel one.

Squad

The manager has not finished forgetting Jens Cajuste's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
