I have just been sent a text from somebody who has previously been spot on with info, saying that Paul Cook sent the players home Wednesday midway through training due to lack of effort and intensity.
Apparently all the players left as told, meaning the lunch that was cooked/made had to be donated to the Samaritans.
If true, slightly concerning, but fair play to Cook.
Edit - Clarified this was Wednesday, not yesterday. [Post edited 26 Mar 2021 9:33]

The canteen etc is all closed still at the minute isn’t it? Players still arriving in their kit and going home in it etc.
I will wait until I hear something from ITK Dobbo, unless that’s who you got it from? [Post edited 26 Mar 2021 9:17]

That I’m not too sure on, just passing on the message I was sent. I would imagine if they’re doing double sessions, some sort of food is/was available. [Post edited 26 Mar 2021 9:17]

....I notice that he's changed his twitter profile to say that he's a freelance Journalist.
Despite is Linkedin profile stating that he's a claims assessor for LV.
Funny. |  |

It wasn't yesterday, it was Wednesday afternoon they were sent home after a poor session in the morning. |  |

That's pretty embarrassing. Was that what Cook was referring to when he said the players weren't up to training as full on as he'd hoped or did this come after that? |  |

Oh, c'mon, a bit of leeway. A good few years ago I added some 'info' to a couple of Wikipedia pages, I'm sure that gives me the right to call myself a freelance journalist should I want to
Now I come to think of it, I was asked in for coffee by a walking guide in Ethiopia and what he really wanted was for me to write some blurb in English about his walks. I'm a travel journalist.
And I post on here too much all the time. I am a sports journalist.
And I watched 'Gladiator'...I am Sparta...OK, I see your point. |  |

I think so. Think he's also frustrated that players aren't getting in early or staying late as well. Only ever seems to be the youth players in the gym/staying after training rather than the first team players. | |

Think he said Tuesday was the day, Wednesday must’ve been worse then, after he had done the press conference!! | |

Yup. Had another double session for Wednesday which obviously didn't go to plan! | |

Christ, so more or less straight after the new manager has said he was disappointed they couldn't train with the intensity he'd hoped, they put in a lacklustre effort. I guess this is what happens when you have a huge first team squad where half won't be here next season, where the fitness coach is working from home, and they've had two years of nothing but negativity from the manager. What a mess. | |

I was told the only senior player that tried to stay was Tomas Holy, but he was also told to leave eventually. | | | |

The only players on Wednesday who stayed behind were Baggott (on loan at Kings Lynn), Clements (who's injured) and Woolfenden.
Says a lot about the rest of them. [Post edited 26 Mar 2021 9:33]

Looks as if PC is still having problems getting players out of their comfort zone. The comfort zone that results 8n individual player taking the easy, non penetrating, option when on the ball.
PC won’t stand for it...wish him luck. |  |

Squad is rotten to the core.
I really hope when Cook mentioned contracts he's not thinking of offering too many. Not sure I really want any of the current lot to be retained.
Start afresh. Even if ability they are not quite as good, i'd look to recruit a mixture of young hungry players, a bit raw but with bags of pace mixed with a combination of experienced pro's who have won promotions at L1/l2 level. |  |

That's pathetic. A lot of these players are playing for their future either here or elsewhere and they don't even seem bothered. Definitely need a clear out in the summer, too much damage done to/with this squad. [Post edited 26 Mar 2021 9:33]

Glad to hear that Woolf stayed behind and I hope he carries on showing that attitude and gets a chance soon. He's got bags of potential. | |

What a shambles, literally the day after a new manager publicly asks for more. | | | |

I'm not claiming to be some massive 'def info' but from what I hear, there will be a massive sea of change here this summer. Players & staff wise. | |

Sunday league mob this side. Easy life playing for Ipswich.
Thankfully, we have a top class manager who won't allow it, and secondly, a lot of these players out of contract so can be cleared out. |  |
