Ipswich Town’s torturous season finally came to an end with a 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest yesterday. Blues reporter Stuart Watson hosted a live webchat earlier this afternoon.
Three successive losses saw Town end up in 16th spot – their lowest finish in 58 years – ahead of a 16th successive season in the Championship.
How do you reflect on the last nine months? What were the key factors in Town’s decline following previous finishes of ninth, sixth and seventh?
And where do we go from here? Does owner Marcus Evans need to put more money in? Can manager Mick McCarthy turn things around? Which players need to go and what areas of the squad need strengthening?
