Saturday's triumph over the Tractor Boys highlighted Heckingbottom's work in ensuring that the feelgood factor has made its return to 'Fortress Deepdale'

Ipswich copied Leicester with a losing trip to PNE

After a second successive home win over a side which plied its trade in the Premier League last season, I left Deepdale on Saturday very satisfied—and also sporting a grin as wide as one of a Cheshire cat.

The game was played in a great atmosphere, which was an illustration of the feelgood factor I feel has recently returned to the stadium along with its 'Fortress Deepdale' status.

The longest-serving US president, Franklin D Roosevelt, once said: "Happiness is not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement in the thrill of creative effort."

This statement rings true for me, as there is no doubt that this really was an exceptional all-round professional team performance from our new-look side that the manager has built on a shoestring budget.
