The 2019-20 campaign for Ipswich Town was a season of soaring false hope and ultimate disappointment for The Tractor Boys in their first year back in the third tier since 1957. After beginning the season as promotion favorites and topping the League One table following an eleven-game unbeaten run, a dramatic collapse in form saw them finish a crushing 11th, a position ultimately determined by the points-per-game system after the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leading the charge were joint top league scorers Kayden Jackson and new signing James Norwood, who netted 11 goals each in a turbulent year that started with a dream but ended with the club's lowest league finish in nearly 70 years.
