Magilton was in charge of Ipswich between 2006/07-2008/09 but how did his teams do in terms of goals scored, conceded, win percentages etc.? Did he have a 20 a season striker? How did he do in comparison with QPR?
Note I have included the final two matches of last season although Magilton was no longer Ipswich manager but it helps for overall comparison.

Many (including myself) will say that a three year comparison is probably unfair as our team has dramatically changed from that of 2006. But what this does show is that in this time Ipswich have scored more than they concede, they've never had a 20 goal a season striker to do so and they spread the number of goals around the pitch.
