http://www.blues-online.co.uk/ Absolut Engine 1.73 - http://www.absolutengine.com/ Amy Downes writes her latest article for Blues-Online.co.uk relating to this weekend's 1-1 draw with Burnley at Portman Road. So, to walk away from Portman Road yesterday feeling disappointed with a draw is, in a roundabout way, a good feeling. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/amy-downes-on-saturdays-draw-with-burnley http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/amy-downes-on-saturdays-draw-with-burnley Opinon Article youremail@yourdomain.com (Blues-Online.co.uk) Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:52:39 GMT If ever we needed to be reminded of the unpredictable nature of Championship football it was last weekend. The new football season kicked off with five home wins, a draw and the princely sum of six away wins. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/championship-preview-1415-august http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/championship-preview-1415-august Opinon Article (Richard Gardiner) Fri, 13 Aug 2010 09:05:44 GMT New Blues-Online.co.uk writer Amy Downes gives her opinion on this weekend's fantastic 3-1 win against Championship favourites Middlesbrough. I hope you can bear with me - I'm suffering a bit from shock. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/amy-downes-on-saturdays-middlesbrough-win http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/amy-downes-on-saturdays-middlesbrough-win Opinon Article (Amy Downes) Mon, 09 Aug 2010 10:59:20 GMT Andrew Cullen returns with the second part of his opinion article, the first of which featured on our website late last week. Click here to read part one. Many Town supporters are unenthused by the prospects for the new season. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/keane-on-a-knifes-edge-part-2 http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/keane-on-a-knifes-edge-part-2 Opinon Article (Andrew Cullen) Mon, 09 Aug 2010 08:58:43 GMT Of the current Championship sides, only Coventry City has had a longer run than Ipswich Town in the second tier of English football and then only by one season. Both teams had long runs in the top flight but have fallen on harder times in the last decade. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/20102011-championship-preview-the-season-head http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/20102011-championship-preview-the-season-head Opinon Article (Richard Gardiner) Sat, 07 Aug 2010 07:33:54 GMT In professional sport the margin between success and failure is small. This applies to soccer in general and it definitely will apply to the Championship this season. In a League where at least half the clubs have ambitions of reaching the play-offs, early betting and pundits' assessments place Middlesborough as promotion favourites with Nottingham Forest, QPR, Burnley and Bristol City as play off favourites. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/keane-on-a-knifes-edge http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/keane-on-a-knifes-edge Opinon Article (Andrew Cullen) Fri, 06 Aug 2010 10:07:02 GMT The controversial argument was made in Part One (published here on 18/07/2010) that Town should accept offers for Connor Wickham, Jon Walters and Owen Garvan if that would yield a fund of £ 12,5 million that could be used to buy new players. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/free-wheelin-in-the-transfer-market-part-2 http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/free-wheelin-in-the-transfer-market-part-2 Opinon Article (Andrew Cullen) Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:07:52 GMT It is certainly not impossible that, with the current Town squad, the manager could get the club into the play-offs this season. To do so, they would probably need to amass 74 points. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/free-wheelin-in-the-transfer-market http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/free-wheelin-in-the-transfer-market Opinon Article (Andrew Cullen) Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:07:36 GMT The 2009/10 season was a huge disappointment for all concerned with Ipswich Town F.C. Disappointment partly because of the extent of unrealised expectations following the arrival of Roy Keane as manager, but also because of the lack of goals, quality, consistency, positive results and commitment from some of the players. http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/how-will-we-perform-in-the-championship-this-year-part-2 http://www.blues-online.co.uk/opinion/how-will-we-perform-in-the-championship-this-year-part-2 Opinon Article (Andrew Cullen) Mon, 19 Jul 2010 10:10:14 GMT The 2009/10 season was a huge disappointment for all concerned with Ipswich Town F.C.
