The realistic though of promotion this season has been rather up and down in recent months, with our form taking us out of the playoff positions. But we need to completely ignore this, for the simple fact that, promotion or not, next season will be our time to shine.
I give a huge amount of praise to Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor, who have transformed our club from the threat of relegation to the promotion mix. If we miss promotion this season, next season will be our moment to build on our strengths and to iron out our weaknesses.
Another season in the championship will be challenging, with the Premier League clubs coming down from relegation who will be seeking immediate promotion, as well as the newly promoted League 1 clubs seeking to build a performance as Brentford have this season.
To maintain our squad stability and skill, we must hold on to premier league transfer targets Tyrone Mings and Teddy Bishop, as they have put in a great shift this season, being the creative-minded players that we need to set up and score goals. A bit of investment is needed though, with
Our campaign for promotion has taken a lot of hard work from the players, manager, coaching staff and physios, and it is our duty as fans of the club to praise the hard work they have put in to put us in the position we are in today.
My favourite transfer of the season has to be Kévin Bru, as he’s such a hardworking player and is very talented on the ball - has a lot of talent that we must reward him for! Bru is followed shortly by Bartosz Bialkowski, who has been solid in goal and deserves a lot of praise for quickly fitting in with the team and showing us what a great goalkeeper he is.
Thank you Ipswich Town Football Club for a great 2014-2015 season in the championship, let’s look to the future and see what it holds. I can only be optimistic!
