How good do we think our squad is? 15:17 - Jun 7 with 3691 views | the_toff | Walton Clarke Woolfenden Davis Morsy Burns Broadhead Chaplin Is there anyone else in our squad you would hang your hat on in the Championship? Or any of those you wouldn't? I think we've got a lot of decent 'fillers' like Luongo, Ball, Ladapo and Burgess but think we need another 3 or 4 of the quality of that lot above to take us to the next level. Must be a good 6 or 7 to be shown the door to make way? Evans and Camara can both go. Jackson and Ahadme too. I can't understand why we kept Aluko. Pigott and Harper can leave. |  | | |  |
How good do we think our squad is? on 09:52 - Jun 8 with 757 views | itfcsuth | I think the group collectively is a good championship squad if I am being honest - we built our squad in L1 with that in mind. It means we don't have to do too much work to the squad, initially 3 or 4 additions of very good quality, that could change with outgoings. As PH said yesterday, evolution, not revolution. |  | |  |

You over estimate the strength of the Championship. Look at how many of the teams that made the playoffs last season played at Portman Road during our stay. |  |

18th-14th with 0 additions really isn't a bad thing and we will make additions? Its very rare for a team to go up and finish in the top half at all let alone with no signings. Sunderland are a complete anomaly. I'm literally saying with a couple of additions we will be a top half team? Id be delighted with that. |  |

I think you are about right. If we don’t sign a centre forward our options would be Ladapo, Ahadme, and Pigott and that would be weak. We’ll obviously sign at least one centre forward so we’ll be improved. |  | |  |

Exactly my thinking. As things stand I think we are a fair way away from being a playoff team which seems to be what we are really pushing towards, doesn't mean we will be at the end of the window. |  |

I would go along with that, I think if we made no additions we would be safe but lower mid table. Of course we will make additions though, especially up front. Would be a lot to ask of Ladapo and Jackson otherwise. I can see Hirst plus a loanee coming in there. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I think Jackson might be one to move on but I'm not sure the current squad does ask a lot of him? He started 1 of our last 20 games, only made 3 substitute appearances over 20 minutes. We used him as a relief substitute for Wes Burns, to add a bit of pace/athleticism late in games. I don't think he'd be a problem per se continuing in that role. |  |

We haven't had to as we've had the likes of Ladapo and Hirst in forward areas. Plus TJJ who played his football in the #10, but could've covered there. And Burns on the right. But we don't have Hirst as it stands, and an injury to Ladapo would leave us presumably looking to Jackson at the moment as 'next best'. I can't see Pigott or Ahadme coming back from where they are personally. We all expect to strengthen up front, guess that's the point of the thread really. |  | |  |
