Ipswich Town have had a season to forget.
Their nightmare campaign is going to end in relegation, with that yet to be confirmed; they will fight as hard as they can to get closer to the other struggling sides to restore some pride.
Paul Hurst started the season in charge before being sacked and replaced with Paul Lambert.
The former Wolves and Villa boss has not managed to improve their situation but has added to the side since.
January saw a rebuilding job undertaken with survival in mind, as well as the possibility of League One football.
The confirmation is close, and Town will be heading to the third-tier next season.
One signing in the transfer window, who appears to be sticking around is Alan Judge.
The former Brentford man moved to Portman Road on a deal until the summer, with a view to signing an extension.
And that extension could soon be triggered with the club poised to offer the 30-year-old a two-year deal to remain at the club.
He could be a big-hitter in League One if the contract is signed and sealed ahead of next season.
And here are some figures to back up why he could well be their League One saviour.
Judge has started 12 games out of 12 since his switch from London to East Anglia – clocking up a total of 1053 minutes on the pitch.
With Ipswich’s predicament, he has not managed to score, or assist so far – but that is to be expected for a club bottom of the league.
But it is in other areas he has excelled and shown his worth.
The midfielder averages 1.7 tackles per game, 0.6 interceptions and 1.3 fouls - as well as 0.3 clearances and 0.2 blocks.
From that, it’s easy to deduce his defensive contribution needs work and could be a reason as to with the Tractor Boys remain at the foot of the table.
But going forward, he has been immense for Lambert’s side, a real asset.
Per game, Judge averages 2.8 shots on goal – the most of any other Ipswich player this season – and by some distance.
The next down is Freddie Seats who averaged 1.3 shots per game before his season-ending injury.
The 30-year-old also averages 2.8 key passes per game – and that is just the tip of his successful passing statistics.
He also records 41.6 average passes per game with a 78.4 per cent success rate, as well as 3.3 crosses, 3.1 long balls.
That places him first for most key passes per game as well as fourth in the whole team for most average passes and fifth in the pass success rate category.
Consistently in the top-fix in passing and offensive stats, his influence, while not in the goals or assists column, is more valuable in other ways
From that, it is imperative Ipswich keep hold of Judge for next season as he could well be the man to dominate a division if he wishes to.
The stats back up how impressive he could be in the third tier having done well for the worst team as it stands in the Championship in such a short space of time.
