QPR Podcast: Season 2023/4 Episode 1 - August

Great podcast
Don’t think your Ipswich predictions will be right though
They are a team brimming with confidence

The NTT20 podcast, that I rate highly, had Ipswich to finish 4th I think in their Pre season predictions.

This is not an ordinary League 1 promotion team by all accounts and I think we're probably going to lose Saturday

That is a little premature I think singlespeed! 

If this Ipswich team finishes fourth it's damning indictment on the quality in this league. Their style of play is positive, but a quick glance at the squad and it's not exactly spectacular. NTT20 is good, but Elek and Maxwell... not my favourite blokes in football to say the least.

The one star, for me is Conor Chaplin. I played against him in an Under 15s County Cup Quarter-Final whilst at Secondary School, and he was incredible. No bigger than 5ft 3in at the time and he mugged us all game. Every time you checked your shoulder he had so much space. Game culminated in us losing 3-0, our centre forward sent off for headbutting one of the opponents. But the third goal, he scored, was brilliant. Fouled 25 yards out by my partner in midfield, he lay on the floor laughing at the tackle. Then picked himself up and smacked in the top corner, and everyone just turned around as if to say 'hows that even fair'.
