Hello fellow FM fans, this is the beginning of my save as Detective Sherlock Holmes! I have started the save with...
View attachment 332265
I decided to choose Ipswich because I wanted to be Championship Side but not one who are predicted to do amazingly, so I looked around for a bit and chose Ipswich because they have quite a good youth system and squad but are only predicted to finish 18th! So my goal for the season is to get top half, maybe play offs!
Ipswich Manager Holmes' Isn't Going To Spend Big!
I didn't spend any money during this transfer window, only buying a few back up players for free and one loan signing!
SIGNING ONE!
Emile Mpenza - Free
View attachment 332266
He isn't an amazing player but will be good backup incase any of my other strikers get injured!
SIGNING TWO!
Cristiano Zanetti - Free!
View attachment 332267
Another backup signing, but he is constantly moaning about not being played enough when I specifically said he would be backup! I will be letting him go when his contract expires.
SIGNING THREE!
Mikel Alonso - Free
View attachment 332268
He has been my best backup player as he has come into the midfield in two games and done a good job covering if anyone has to come off!
SIGNING FOUR!
Rudi Skacel - Free
View attachment 332269
He was originally going to be a first team player but I have better players than him so he is backup as well, luckily he hasn't moaned about playing time!
SIGNING FIVE!
Shaun Cummings - Loan from Reading (22k fee)

Backup in defense in case of any injuries as I always seem to slip up because of not having enough backup in the defense!
SIGNING SIX!
Papa Bouba Diop - Free
View attachment 332271
Another backup player, not amazing but I feel he could do alright when needed!
FINAL SIGNING!
Danilo Bueno - Free
View attachment 332272
He is quite a good player but won't be played too often, will most likely replace tired players as a substitute.
THE SQUAD!
View attachment 332273View attachment 332274
As you can see, I have quite a large squad so I don't think I will come into much trouble with lack of players!
TACTIC!
View attachment 332275
You can probably guess why I brought quite a few midfielders as I play a 4-5-1! It has worked well so far as you will see soon with the fixtures!
PRE-SEASON!
View attachment 332276
A positive pre-season with only one loss! Not too many goals though! Onto August!
AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER REVIEW!
Capital One Cup (Round 1)
Ipswich Town 0-1 Swindon
An embarrasing result considering we dominated the game throughout and they only had 5 shots compared to our 20!
Npower Championship
Ipswich Town 3-2 Bristol City
Goalscorers: Wordsworth, Chopra and N'Daw
A great result in a match which we completely dominated throughout having 10 more shots than them, but became sloppy at the back!
Npower Championship
Hull City 1-2 Ipswich Town
Goalscorer: Daryl Murphy (2)
A great performance from the lads in a game we went 1-0 down in after just 7 minutes but we equalized just a minute later and controlled the match from then on!
Npower Championship
Ipswich Town 0-2 Watford
A broing game with only 10 shots all togethor, but Watford took their small amount of chances, unlike us!
Npower Championship
Millwall 0-1 Ipswich Town
Goalscorer: Lee Martin
A close match which we just won with a goal in the 82nd minute!
Npower Championship
Ipswich Town 1-2 Barnsley
Goalscorer: N'Daw
A very poor performance in a game which we should have definitely won! The defense fell apart too many times during the match, and it wasn't a good day for our goalie!
Npower Championship
Bolton 1-3 Ipswich Town
Goalscorers: Daryl Murphy (2), Emmanuel-Thomas
A fantastic performance, pulling off a great win against all odds and a great performance from our man up top; Daryl Murphy!
Npower Championship
Ipswich Town 0-1 Notts Forest
A poor performance from Ipswich with only one highlight throughout the whole game, which was the Forest goal!
Npower Championship
Crystal Palace 0-2 Ipswich Town
Goalscorer: Emmanuel Thomas (2)
A great win against a good Crystal Palace team who are fighting for the play offs! Emmanuel-Thomas was on great form as was the rest of the Ipswich sqaud!
So, all in all it has been a good two months, however, we have only won 1 game at home and seem to be playing really badly in front of our homes fans! Something will have to be done about that!
League Table!

We are just inside the play off places but it is very close so far, and one slip up and we could go falling down the table!
Stats!
View attachment 332278
Our striker Daryl Murphy is the only player on the stats table so far after a good start getting 4 goals, 2 assists and 2 man of the matches!
