The big question is, will the focus be on saving this season and adding during the window or merely playing out the string and keeping our powder dry for a rebuild next summer?

I think you evolve and add one or two smart additions
There's talk of Fraser going to Swansea as an example, that could happen but they're going to have to make a decent offer that works for us
We need a quality centre back coming in to partner Edmundson and probably need another midfield anchor who can run the midfield next to Morsy
Do we need much more than that, do we have a recall on Simpson and if so, would you bring him back and have a look? |  |

Now we're not having to fit everything into a stone-carved 4-2-3-1, we can maybe shape the system to fit the players rather than vice-versa. A by-product of that being a reduced need to majorly overhaul the side. |  |

Evolve. I hope the days of public blow ups, bomb squad and sledgehammer are gone. If he doesn’t like a player fine, quietly get him away. If a player wants out, sell him/get him away. Properly learn what players he has and progressively change as necessary and truly build a team. [Post edited 17 Dec 2021 1:06]

He has to go out to win games. If we win enough we can still make the play-offs.
He has a handful of games to assess the squad and bring in 2 or 3 in January. |  |

As he's primarily a coach, I suspect he might try to actually, you know, COACH the players to be a bit better.
That'll be a novel approach, we haven't seen a manager try that for a couple of seasons now. |  |

I hope he plays fraser as an 8 and gets everything going through him.
Don't think we need any more players. Think we should leave dobra and simpson where they are if they are doing well. | |

Cook signed those players to fit the 4231 system, which they do. |  |

Fraser doesn't. |
Well he might if he ever actually got to play in his preferred position but so far he's played everywhere but.
Too many number 10s. |  |

Agreed, but he's stated himself he's an 8, which is a position that isn't used in this current system. | |

Whisper t soft, but M**k coached a fair few players to be better. But he wasn't very 'technical'.
Apparently coaching isn't what Technical Managers do. | |

Personal opinion is that a good manager/coach will identify areas/players that they can get going/working for what they desire. There will be a those that don’t fit, and just won’t work out, and KM and his team shift them to bring in others in time.
If we don’t end up with a promising manu kid or two over the next few Windows I’ll be amazed. |  |

And yet his title is ‘manager’ not ‘head coach’, which came as a surprise if I’m honest.
Maybe he’ll be one of those tracksuit manager types, but as we don’t have a recruitment department as yet, he’ll definitely be looking for players. |  |

Fraser doesn't. |
And neither does Harper and arguably playing it the way Cook wanted neither does Penney or Donacien...that said , that was so last year

I just hope this guy is a pragmatist not a romantic. We have loads of good players here. Rather than just buying fives new ones let’s see this guy get the best out of what we have and let the system evolve around them rather than the other way round. |  |
| |
| Does he build or demolish? on 08:30 - Dec 17 with 1115 views | itfcjoe |
From now on it has to be evolve - we can't afford to do anything else because so many of these players are on long expensive deals with no resale value.
I look forward to seeing how he wants us to play and then we can go from there - but all bets are open currently |  |

I really hope the do Arnie. It’s not going to work otherwise. Whether this happens or not, in our instant world, is another matter.
For me, it’s the only way. I was never into the idea of an oldie, like Warnock, for the rest of the season. If the owners were serious about building something here, that was never going to be the way to do it. | | | |

Harper does, he’s a 10 or a central midfielder- he’s just been poor. Fraser does too, he’s rarely been given the 8 role. Penney is an attacking full back so is tailor made for a Cook system, he’s just very inconsistent defensively. Arguably, the only one who doesn’t fit a Cook system is Donacien but he’s on for player of the season given how much his game improved. | |

But we don't play with 8s, so Harper and Fraser don't fit - we play with 6s | |

Both full back positions have been holding us back all season IMO.
Coulson looks to be the only one at a high enough level, although that's a small sample size. | | | |

Yet both of those have the level of on-the-ball skill that KM might be likely to respond to. | |

People - football supporters - Ipswich supporters - NO
I’d like to think a large majority will shout them down with force tho | |
