Our top scorer of the season with 12 goals and counting. His ability to lead the line, create chances for himself and occupy defenders is a throwback to a previous era of centre forwards. He has been excellent this season and will have his choice of top clubs this summer. Probably the most consistent performer at the club this season. He is strong in the air, brave and provides excellent leadership qualities, as proven by his appointment as captain when Sam Morsy is absent.

With only a couple of Premier League games remaining before Ipswich Town drop back down to the Championship, I thought I'd scratch a 'whataboutery' itch for the season to date. So for what limited good it will do, here's my top five 'Sliding Doors' moments for Ipswich's 2024-25 campaign - the situations which could have taken a far more positive path than what actually happened. While the criticism of goalkeeper Aro Muric has been overblown, it's clear that Alex Palmer is a calmer pair of hands.

What an evocative experience it was visiting Goodison Park as an away fan on Saturday (even if my view from the away end was compromised by steel rafters and pillars!). The pre-match scenes were exactly what I hoped for, and while the buoyant atmosphere amongst the home fans waned as Town got themselves back in the game, you could easily imagine what a vibrant place it could be for a bigger match.

I have nothing constructive to add into the discourse following Ipswich's Easter Sunday defeat by Arsenal. On a lovely sunny Suffolk afternoon, Leif Davis is now public enemy number one for those of a red persuasion, Town shipped another four goals at Portman Road, and ultimately nothing new was learned. Bring on the summer please. Maguire explained that when Leicester and Southampton were relegated in 2022-23 and promoted back the following season, £102m in parachute payments were saved.
