Portsmouth look like they are on their wa♕y back to the Champio🌱nship. Kenny Jackett’s side are currently top of League One, six points ahead of nearest rivals Luton Town.

Meanwhile, in the Championship, Ipswich Town might be about to swap places. The Tractor Boys have had a torrid staꦯrt to the season. The 🔜Suffolk side currently sit rock bottom of the table, eight points adrift of safety after just one win in their opening 21 games.

The apparent power shift between the two sides will no doubt make the fans at Portꦿman Road very angry about Matt Clarke.

The centre-back is the lynchpin of the Pompey side and has been linked with big moves in recent times. In the summer, Jackett informed the press only an ‘as🍃tronomical offer’ would see him leave Fratton Park.

But Ipswich, under Mick Mc🎉Carthy, just let him go.

Ipswich used Ipswich sold Webster, who was a hit at Portman Road, in the summඣer to Bristol City and are now battling the drop from the Championship.💟

Meanwhile, Clarke is looking like a ball-playing centre-back with a future at the highest end of the English game. Using him to push the deal through now looks a big💧 mistake♑.

This might have been Mc🗹Carthy’s biggest Ipswich error.🌌
