“In a statement today, Sky Bet Championship side Ipswich Town have parted company with manager Mick McCarthy, citing irreconcilable differences. The statement continued to announce that former youth player Richard Abbott had been placed in charge until further notice. 35 year old Abbott, who was born in Ipswich, had been coaching with the clubs youth system alongside managing non-league Cornard United. It has been announced that Abbott will have a one-year contract, and be expected to reach mid table. The decision to sack McCarthy, and replace him with Abbott, has shocked Ipswich fans with many tipping their club for relegation.”
F**k, the fan sites don’t make for good reading. 95% of fans think we’re going down, with literally nobody anticipating anything better than a relegation scrap. Let’s face it though, the squad isn’t the greatest and needs work, not much work mind. I mean, we have potential to be great – Teddy Bishop and Andre Dozzell could rule Ipswich and England for years to come, and Ben Morris looks a special talent.
The tactics shouldn’t change all that much from Big Mick’s reign, with the starting formation being a 4-2-3-1, however I’ll be asked them to control the tempo, build from the back and break down opposition that way, rather than boot it long and hope. The ideal starting eleven is full of injuries though…
Bart [Bartosz Bialkowski] will start in goal, with Josh Emmanuel and Jonas Knudsen being my full backs. Captain Chambo [Luke Chambers] will play alongside Christophe Berra at centre back. Luke Hyam will start alongside Bish [Teddy Bishop], when both are fit, until then Cole Skuse and Ainsley Maitland-Niles will play. Freddie Sears will play on the right, with Ryan Fraser on the left. McGoldrick will lead the line, with a new signing going in the hole behind him.
I’ve even drawn out a couple of transfer targets, money allowing;
-Jhon Arango - Deportivo Estudiantil
-Sergio Diaz – Cerro Porteno
