We've got exactly what we need on 08:00 - Aug 31 with 1723 views | ipswichtillidie | If Hirst was fit the clamour for a no9 wouldn’t have been there. Clearly there are some questions over Hirsts injury record. Broja was obviously seen as a huge upgrade given the fee we were prepared to pay. Personally I had my doubts about the fee being so large. He’s potential is there and obviously McKenna felt like he could unlock that. It will be interesting to see how he goes now at Everton and how long he’ll be out for, if at all. Overall what a window, 100m spent and some 8/9 internationals now in our squad. Coyb [Post edited 31 Aug 2024 8:19]

Add Delap, Phillips and Greaves into the mix and wow. Then all the others, I have lost count because we have brought so much quality, and we are in a much, much, much better position than we were a couple of months ago. Fantastic job done by all those involved. |  |

Psychologically if we don't start picking up points how long will it be before self doubt starts to creep in and before we know it, it'll become harder and harder to see where the points are coming from |  | |  |
We've got exactly what we need on 08:27 - Aug 31 with 1567 views | Dubtractor | I said last night on here, we really needed another number 9, and I think we've handicapped ourselves a bit by not getting one in, but I'm not too disappointed that the Broja deal fell through. Far too many concerns about that one. Nelson felt like an odd one, having just signed Ogbene. Let's hope Hirst stays fit! |  |

Not sure of the relevance here in relation to the OP. But points total is, of course important but I’m curious to why, after 2 games this is a talking point. Most people outside our bubble think we will accumulate very little points and finish in the bottom 3. Suspect we may need to use this to our advantage. Siege mentality n all. I suspect a lot of the “melts”’on here pissing their pants we didn’t get a number 9 in could be some of our newer supporters, whom will disappear again if we ever end up in a different division, thus miraculously returning when success is upon us.

Op was stating the performance is more important than the points. Clearly this isn't true as i stated previously |  | |  |
We've got exactly what we need on 08:38 - Aug 31 with 1480 views | mikeybloo88 | We are light up top and no amount of positivity can disguise that. Scoring goals in this league is tough and I guess we’ll need contributions from a lot of players without any proven and prolific out and out strikers. We do have pace though and with a good passing game we hopefully can at least create enough chances to give ourselves hope in any match. |  | |  |

I think we have always focused on the performances and the results take care of themselves. Think McKenna has said this numerous times. Suspect that’s what the OP means. Your correct points tally will obviously override everything. Hopefully we can get some today. We need to get behind the boys now. 12 players is a huge overhaul. Patience maybe key. |  |

I’m confused because since McKenna took over all we have done is score goals. Infact from all over the pitch yet people on here seem to be implying one player not coming in is a real worry? |  |

It’s a shame we missed out on the Greek bloke. He was KM’s first choice by the looks of it. Seems a tidy player on YouTube as well (yes, I know, Sam Parkin, etc.). |  |

The Greek bloke was early doors though wasn’t he and they wanted the fee up front. Which makes me think we probably wouldn’t have the likes of Clarke here if we had spent big on a no9. Hence why the Broja deal was structured to pay next season. Our budget was stretched to the max I think and gave us less options in this window to pay fees up front. This would align with the strange Nelson loan. Don’t suspect many no9s were available for a loan. People amazingly aren’t seeing this even after we spent an incredible 100m + way above expectations. |  |

Clearly there is an amount of positivity that disguises it for some people...management do not have the same view it seems having spent the last week trying to get another striker in |  | |  |

I had no idea Sam Parkin was Greek. |  |
