The 2020-21 campaign delivered an ultimately frustrating mid-table finish for Ipswich as The Tractor Boys finished 9th in League One, falling short of their promotion ambition. Leading the charge was James Norwood, whose 9 goals were a crucial contribution in a campaign of transition. It was a challenging year defined by the mid-season managerial change from Paul Lambert to Paul Cook, an attempt to inject new life and attacking belief that provided a foundation for the future and remains a significant period of change in the club’s modern history.
