What a start! 18:18 - Aug 19 with 1567 viewsNutkins_Return

We must strengthen from this position of strength.

We've maxed out on results but to state the obvious we're far from dominant in this league. Going to be a long and tough season and we will need to add some quality to and already strong squad.

Poll: Who do we think McKenna (not you) will partner Greaves with ?

I don't think we will push the boat out before the end of the indow. A couple of additions at most.

There is a long way to go, but if we are sitting in the play off positions, or not far off them then I think we will see a similar game changing January window to to the one we just had.

Absolutely we don't need to hire quantity. It's the 2-3 Ashton mentioned really. But they need to be quality.

We shouldn't overpay so it will be tricky but we can't rest on our laurels here. We've been brilliant but 9 points flatters us slightly. That extra 2-3% in quality really tips the balance for us and could be the difference to us for by 3-4 positions come Jan.

A great start , for any potential recruits seeing us top of the league must help our chances of attracting the right players

Where do you think we need to strengthen? I very much doubt we will sign anyone who will be first choice.

The key word is "strengthen".... There won't be many players out there, within our budget, that will actually "strengthen" our squad.... Can see us maybe bringing in a loan or two at best for now... Maybe keep our powder dry for January window, or next summer.
By January, we would have played everyone, and have a greater insight into this division and how far our existing squad can take us. Therefore, a clearer picture, with more info, before gambling $$$.

I think we will sign an experienced right sided central defender as cover, having missed out on our younger targets. And dismissing sentimentality, I think we may move Ladapo on and sign sonme direct competition for Hirst.

Right sided rather than left sided? You think we'll trust Edmundson to cover the left? Or Baggott?

Poll: Who would you play at right centre back on Saturday?

CB and Striker minimum. Someone to goe toe to toe with Hirst. I would still either now or in Jan have Hirst + 2 new strikers. One in similar mould but upgrade on Ladapo (who I like but being ruthless we can upgrade) and one with different skillset (E.g. a Dane Scarlett).

I think McKenna does want another for behind the front man e.g. Rak Sakyi. If being super greedy another midfielder and Humphreys a season loan.

All our players are good and really likeable so its hard and horrible to contemplate replacing/upgrading. But if you apply our thinking last year (I e. Signing with one eye on division above) and apply that lens then you can see clearly we will have to do it at some point if that is to be our ambition.

100%.

Now is the chance. We have proven what we have will be competitive, I think we knew that. We just need a few more bodies I think, that can add whether that be from the start perhaps someone like JRS. Or off the bench.

Poll: Will Paul Lambert be Ipswich Town manager on the final day of this season ?
