I think Frank at Brentford got this right, pragmatic, physical and direct at times, but fluid counter attacking with good football in the final third.

Bournemouth are another one too.
No real ambition other than to stay in the league and an undemanding fan base who are content with that.

Obviously we've been safe for quite some time now, but I'd love the team to prove me wrong from what I posted below, which was directly after our 0-4 home defeat Spurs second game of the season to take our goal difference to -7 after two games.
-4 at the moment, but I think there's yet a chance for us to get into positive goal difference for the first time this season.
They were in positive territory for exactly 9 minutes in 22-23. Clawed it back to 0 after winning at Southampton, got the first goal against United, then lost that game and never got back above.

After some more digging, both 1997-98 and 1998-99 they were never in positive GD
Happy Mathematical Safety Day (S/T Ipswich losing)! 
If the last couple of seasons have taught me anything, it’s that you can never rely on Arsenal.Happy Mathematical Safety Day (S/T Ipswich losing)!
Surely understandable that from their fan base? Looking at the size of that club, it shouldn't be anywhere near the PL. So keeping that status is an achievment on its own and the only realistic ambition they should have.
Happy Mathematical Safety Day (S/T Ipswich losing)!
…I think/hope a draw sees us safe. Draw today & I think they can only get to 37 points.
I`ve no idea how they pay the wage bill, let alone everything else with gates of 12000 !!
Yes, that would do it too. Anything less than a win for them, and they can’t get above us.

Ipswich fans view is he's been way too slow making subs and should've switched to 4-3-3. However beyond Cajuste their CM options aren't prem standard.
Ipswich problem was they've signed a huge amount of attackers in last two windows and only Delap and Hutchinson up to January made any impact at all. Their main CM signing was Kalvin Phillips and at the back just signing Godfrey in January who lasted about three games was never going to be good enough.
That said 99% of Ipswich fans realise they'd be nowhere near playing in the prem without McKenna so they obviously want him to stay and then next time they're up he'll have more knowledge of what is required to succeed at this level.
Just seven points at home is something I can't understand. They've taken far more points away than Forest did staying up in 22/23 so really shot themselves in the foot at Portman Road by not being more pragmatic in their play.

They need to win the last 6 games and we need to lose the last 5. West Ham would probably also need to win one of the next 4 games even if that happens or the last day will be a decider between them and Ipswich.
….’Up the Arse’ 
Mathematically safe here today if Ipswich do not win.
