Season summary

The 2019–20 season saw Ipswich compete in the third tier of English football for the first time since 1957. Ipswich started the 2019–20 season as one of the promotion favorites following relegation from the EFL Championship in the 2018–19 season. The club's pre-season began in Germany with a 12-day training camp from 4 to 15 July.[5] After returning from Germany Ipswich scheduled pre-season friendlies with a number of English sides. New signings including Tomáš Holý and James Norwood saw a change to the first-team squad, following the departure of a number of fist team players at the end of the previous season.[6]

The season began on the 3 August, with Ipswich traveling away to face Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium. Ipswich made a positive start to the season with a 1–0 victory in the season opener away at Burton.[7] The following week saw Ipswich host Sunderland in the club's first home game of the season at Portman Road. After being in control for the majority of the game Ipswich conceded a second-half equalizer to cancel out a first-half goal from new loan signing Luke Garbutt, drawing the game 1–1.[8] Ipswich exited the EFL Cup in the first round, following a 1–3 away loss to Luton Town on 13 August.[9] Ipswich began the season in exceptional form, going on an eleven game unbeaten run during the first quarter of the season, reaching the top of the table following a 5–0 win away at Bolton Wanderers on 24 August. Ipswich went the first two months of the season unbeated in the league, with a 1–0 win away at Fleetwood Town keeping the team top of the league going into the first international break of the season,[10] while manager Paul Lambert also won the EFL League One Manager of the Month award for August.[11] Ipswich suffered their first defeat of the season after returning from the international break, suffering a 0–2 away loss to Accrington Stanley.[12] A first home defeat of the season against Rotherham United saw a stutter in form,[13] although back-to-back away wins over Southend United[14] and Rochdale kept Ipswich top of the division going into November.[15] Summer signing Kane Vincent-Young picked up a groin injury during the win away at Fleetwood, which forced him to leave the field. Despite early expectation that the injury would be minor, it was announced that Vincent-Young would require surgery on the injury, ruling him out for an estimated three months.[16] Ipswich began their 2019–20 FA Cup campaign on 9 November after being drawn at home to divisional rivals Lincoln City, with the first round match ending in a 1–1 draw, setting up a replay as a result.[17] The replay took place on 20 November at Sincil Bank. A 94th minute winner from Alan Judge saw Ipswich win their first FA Cup match since January 2010.[18] Ipswich were drawn away at Coventry City in the second round, which was scheduled to take place on 3 December.[19]

Ipswich suffered from a poor run of form over November and December, starting with a 2–2 draw at home to Blackpool followed by a 0–0 draw with then league leaders Wycombe Wanderers, with a goal by Ipswich captain Luke Chambers being controversially ruled out for offside.[20] Ipswich did however progress in the EFL Trophy, with the 2019–20 season being the first time Ipswich had entered the competition in the club's history. After finishing second in the group stage, Ipswich were drawn away to Peterborough United on 4 December. Ipswich progressed into the third round after beating Peterborough 6–5 on penalties following a 1–1 draw, with debutante Adam Przybek saving two penalties in the shoot-out.[21] Despite progression in the EFL Trophy, the poor league run continued as Ipswich failed to win in eight consecutive league games from mid November to New Year's Day, including an FA Cup exit to Coventry City on 10 December following a replay after a 1–1 draw.[22] Ipswich also exited the EFL Trophy in the third round, following a 1–2 away loss to Exeter City.[23]

Despite the poor run of results, on 1 January it was announced that Paul Lambert had signed a four-year contract extension with the club, extending his contract until 2025. Ipswich's next league win did not come until 11 January, with a 4–1 win at home to Accrington Stanley.[24] January saw an upturn in form, with a draw away at Oxford United being followed by a 2–1 away win over Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park, in which Ipswich came from behind in the second-half to win the match.[25] The following match saw Ipswich beat Lincoln City 1–0 at Portman Road, returning Ipswich to the top of the League One table for the first time since November.[26] The following league match was a top of the table clash between Ipswich and second-placed Rotherham United. Ipswich suffered a 0–1 defeat at the New York Stadium.[27] The following run saw a huge decline in results for Ipswich, defeats to promotion rivals Peterborough United and Sunderland followed by a 0–0 draw away to AFC Wimbledon.[28] Ipswich suffered another injury blow on 21 February, when it was announced that James Norwood would require surgery on an adductor injury, adding to long term first-team injuries to Kane Vincent-Young, Danny Rowe, Jack Lankester and Tristan Nydam.[29] A 4–1 win at home to Burton Albion followed four league defeats in a row to see Ipswich drop to 10th in the table, after being in the top six of the league from August through to February.[30]

On 13 March the season was suspended until further notice due to the Coronavirus outbreak.[3] After months of uncertainty, it was announced on 9 June that the season would ultimately not resume, with the final league table being determined on a points-per-game basis after the League One club's voting to end the season. Ipswich dropped a further place to 11th in League One, representing the club's lowest league finish since the 1952–53 season.[4]
