Not reinforcing that part of the team with more quality could be what costs automatic promotion. We should have been running away with this league beside Cov. |  | | |  |

To be fair its the same narrative we put on the parachute clubs last time we got promoted. The wage and transfer budget. I suspect the pre-season odds also reflected that. |  |

Yes, we have an advantage but the whole “running away with it” view is a very simplistic one. |  | |  |

And 2nd best Goals Scored and 2nd best Goals Conceded. With the game in hand we could go 2nd too. |  | |  |

I can think of about £150m reasons. |  |

| Another toothless day on 10:42 - Mar 22 with 302 views | BouncebackIpswich | I make you right, it's the weakest part of the team along with right wing. If we'd got both those positions right I suspect we'd be clear of Cov by now. On the other hand pre season most of us would have said Hirst was amongst the divisions best strikers, nobody could have foreseen him performing as poorly as he has done this season, and frankly we've still got a good chance of going up in spite of it. |  |

| Another toothless day on 11:31 - Mar 22 with 225 views | The_Realist_09 | Despite being very raw, I thought Azon gave their CBs some real problems yesterday with his link up play and was very unlucky with the worldy save. I don't think the Hirst sub had the desired effect and led to us being boxed in. Despite being taller, he wasn't competitive in the air at all and when we played over their press it came straight back. I think Hirst has qualities that have suffered with the different game states we've seen this season. Hirst is mobile for a big lad so can stretch the play and drop in if there is space but we're now a dominant team usually trying to penetrate really compact teams. That is not Hirst's game, he's not got the intricacy to play in tight spaces or the finishing quality to bury a half chance that may fall to him in the box. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Nice jibe, but if you really want to challenge for the Entitlement Trophy 2025/26, you need to up the figure to £200m or £213m which is the actual gross transfer spend. Btw, did we spend money on players in the past two years?? Gosh, I wish somebody had mentioned it. I never knew. |  | |  |

Thanks for improving my argument, over £200m that's crazy. |  |

My pleasure. Actually add in wages and let’s call it a round £300m. Booooooo Ashton out! McKenna out! Booooo. If only you’d told us earlier. We could have marched on Portman Road crayoned bedsheets (the dried ones) aloft! To strengthen your argument, how about we say that we’ve transferred nobody out for any £££ (after all, have we seen the £1 notes?) and all our players are worthless. They’ve not been sold so they have no value. Does that help you? You are entitled to your opinions and believe in Unicorns if you wish. It’s a free country so you be you. |  | |  |

Akpom should have been replaced hes toothless. Im sure we could have got in a more decent player, its the only area i'm 100% certain has been a mistake, the third striker. |  |
