Hladky’s potential new deal has some fans skeptical due to his mixed performances this season.
Ipswich could consider looking to replace Hladky if they get promoted to the top flight.
Analyzing statistics suggests that Hladky has room for improvement, but his clean sheet count is impressive.

Ipswich Town are reportedly set to offer goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky a new three-year deal.

Journalist Alan Nixon has said, via his Patreon, that the Tractor Boys are considering putting a multi-year offer to their number one, before he leaves for free in the summer at the end of his current agreement.

The 33-year-old has been Town’s mainstay between the sticks this season, with the number one of a season ago, Christian Walton, deputising for the former Salford City keeper in the 23/24 campaign.

Football League World’s Ipswich fan pundit, Henry, has shared his thoughts on the news of the potential new contract for the Czech shot-stopper.

Ipswich fan view on potential new deal for Hladky

Henry said to FLW: “He’s saved us in games, but he’s also cost us a few points. I do think that he’s saved us more than he’s cost us this season, definitely.

“His ability on the ball has got better and better. There are some questions about his long-range shot-stopping and his ability to handle the ball rather than catch it.

“The last goal against Hull City, and the goal against Coventry City, you could say that he could do better, but, then again, his save in the first half against Hull, and then the magnificent save against Coventry to deny their striker from point-blank range was great.

“He’s got the reflexes, and he’s got the distribution. His aerial presence hasn’t been questioned that much, which I’ve been surprised at because that was one of his flaws when he came in.
