Here's my quick assessment of Ipswich's Premier League season - and a return to my August predictions.

Ended the season: 19th

Pre-season prediction: 20th

There were some flashes of hope, all too rarely. A return to the Premier League proved too much for Ipswich under Kieran McKenna, after the brilliant achievement of two successive promotions.

Liam Delap showed his quality but there was not enough elsewhere. He will leave, but McKenna might think he has enough for another promotion next season.

What I said in August: "It will be some feat if they stay up."
