have made a good point which i'm sure has been noted on here but I have somehow overlooked.
We're now too nice! And if we still had Mass and Morsy we'd easily be top two right now.
I obviously understand we miss Morsy's leadership qualities but it's the fact he is a horrible bugga on the pitch is the biggest loss. Other fans HATED him for his ability to leave a foot/elbow in etc and wind up the opposition - this is exactly what we lack now.
We've recruited a whole squad of really lovely, caring, kind, decent human beings who'd you love to see your daughter bring home. This is great but none of them seem to have that competitive edge to them and rarely get wound up and aggressive. Morsy is a lovely guy too but on the pitch is a nasty fella.
Is it a coincidence that that particular player trait has only been found in a player McKenna has inherited? |  | | |  |

Kind of what I have been saying with me liking to see Jack Taylor in a 3 man central midfield. Whilst Jack is not the most physical and relentless kind of player he is much more combatant then Nunez or Cajuste. Hence I wanted both Azor and JC together with 1 luxury player with them to pull the strings.
I have also mentioned how many teams are very good a sneaking in professional fouls. Charlton got away with 4 of those in the first half and only accrued 1 booking. Clever play that stopped us in our tracks when they were stretched. We just don't do that and teams normally walk through us and we seem to delay the tackle all the time.
Well that's what I think anyway. |  | | |

I'm not sure Taylor is that guy either though. My hope was Nunez might have that nasty streak but he seems a different kind of nutcase. | | | |

It's a very valid point. O'Shea, Greaves, Davis, Johnson, Young, Furlong, Baggott, Taylor, Humphreys, Cajuste, Philogene, Jack Clarke, Szmodics, Walle-Egeli Akpom, Hirst and McAteer are all relatively inoffensive on field characters. Maybe Matusiwa, Nunez, Azon, Harry Clarke and Kipre might have an edge but it's not dominating the opposition and leading the troops stuff.
The supposed recruitment of Premier League athleticism and physicality just hasn't happened. Maybe eventually Walle-Egeli will be but that's down the line.
Very, very good podcast which I watch regularly alongside Blue Monday. |  |

Definitely, very few championship centre halves would allow that first goal. Covering defender in Greaves so not a red, take ball and man outside of the box. Take the yellow. |  |

We need a team with Buccaneering forwards and thugs as central defenders who say stay out of my penalty box. Ipswich has had a rich history of defending greats Hunter, Beattie, Macaulay, Mowbray and De Vos. Just watch some old you tube clips to see how to tackle the Ipswich way. O'Shea's display was so negative. No more Mr Nice Guy just clear the danger in whatever way is required. |  |

I think Chambo deserves an honourable mention here too. Despite his perceived limitations, playing in a struggling side, the number of times he literally threw any part of his anatomy in the way to prevent a shot or block one was astounding. Some will say that was because he'd been beaten but the fact remains, he never gave up. |  |

This podcast seems to get a lot of stick, but i've always enjoyed a listen. They push out content at a regular pace, numerous times a week, and are pretty fair and balanced with their opinions while still being controversial at times.
They're right about this squad. DOS did a nice little speech before the derby but has done precious little else to show he can grab the squad by the scruff of the neck when needed. I don't see who the voice of the squad is now. I actually thought it would be Chaplin after he spoke well the start of the season before he was jettisoned to south coast. |  | | |
