January transfer window outgoings
at 14:06 11 Dec 2023

Not a topic that we want to think about but given that our 25 man squad is full we are going to need to offload to recruit who do we think is at risk?

Personally I think the following:
Humphreys loan move due to limited game time. Also think the club would listen to permanent offers
Baggott the same as above
Dominic Ball - has limited game time perhaps we could sell
Lee Evans - As above
Kayden Jackson - A McKenna favourite but perhaps he could be tempted by a club willing to make him a regular starter

Also the following could be at risk of being poached:
Chaplin
Broadhead
Burns
All in their prime and it the right premier league team came in with the right offer I’m sure we would consider it.

Phil - Any idea when we may get a manager decision?

I would imagine they would want to let McGreal deal with Barrow, surely it’s got to be before the Sunderland game?

Two pennies worth from someone who was actually at Sunderland
at 00:32 21 Nov 2021

Not going to write a full match report but here goes:

Sunderland matched us man for man from the kick off with the same 4-2-3-1 formation.

The first ten minutes it looked like it was going to be a pretty even game with both teams getting down the wings quickly. I’m not too sure why Edwards started not only has he been a poor performer recently but he thrives in games where he is going to have a lot of time on the ball and this wasn’t going to be one of them, going to the stadium of light etc. He had a lot of flair going forward but likes to take two many touches and this allowed Sunderland to close him down. Should have started Chaplin but the result wasn’t all down to him.

Aluko was getting a lot of joy on the right by contrast he’s been a quality signing.

Fridge solid defensively tried lots of step overs at the back and a lot of them came off good to
See him playing with the Sunderland attackers.

Walton was at fault for the first goal but he’s saved us at other times this season. He likes to get the ball forward quickly from the goal kick but with one upfront there aren’t usually too many options.

Talking about upfront other than a shot in the first half following up from Celina. Bonne was pretty anonymous but again due to lack of service at the feet more than anything. Pigott could start on Tuesday but it would be harsh.

Sunderland definitely didn’t deserve any more than a point but having defended so resolutely for 85 minutes, we threw the game a away at the end. Game management again is our Achilles heel but with 2 games in hand and in 6th Spot Sunderland are the benchmark for us and we’ve got a chance to put it right quickly on 18th December.

Roll on Tuesday COYB

#BeKind and mental health pandemic lost on a lot of you. The vitriol spouted at our manager who has only been in a job since March. We’re better than that. What do you actually want? A Watford approach?

Cue the downvotes but I don’t care.

If we win our next two will all the flouncing stop? It’s clear things aren’t going to change overnight and if we sort the defence out we climb the league. Portsmouth in poor form and Fleetwood is winnable….uppa towen.

Buyout query

Just a quick question for you all on a Monday morning, Phil you might know?

How much did the Americans pay to buy us from Marcus Evans? Thought it was a quite significant sum from reports at the time?

...including against Sunderland and before that beat Charlton 4-2.

Oh yeah but we’re Ipswich so we should be 10 points clear at the top of the league, all we can do is moan that it’s not 1981 again... 🙈

Anybody would think we lost
at 18:52 21 Nov 2020

We're not going to steamroll everyone 5-0. Yes we were poor but we had a run of 3/4 games where we had some poor decisions against us. It all balances itself out over the course of the season. Whilst we're still 3rd and chance to beat the leaders we need to get behind Lambert. Disunity is going to help nobody in getting out of this tinpot league.
