Dominic Ball, a former midfielder for Ipswich, thinks the team’s growth has been “incredible” and that the Tractor Boys have enough to escape relegation this season. Ball, a member of the Ipswich team that won back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League, stated on the most recent episode of BBC Radio Suffolk’s Final Whistle: “I fully believed before the start of the season that Ipswich would stay up – I still believe that.” “Since the manager took over, you can observe the improvement.

Every game means everything and the FA Cup for Ipswich this year will be massive – he knows that.”
