Well I am feeling a bit more confident after seeing that… 23:23 - Jul 25 with 1446 views | SitfcB | Great performance for the first 65 minutes, some nice link up play, quick attacking football as we are used to, pressed really well. Philogene and Davis link up, that’ll course some issues for teams this season. Thought Taylor put himself about well, knows there’s a spot in the team and is auditioning for it but can’t see him holding in down. Matusiwa has seemingly slotted in lovely. Chaplin his old self when he came on, some lovely footwork. Ogbene is bloody quick. Nice to meet Stadiumofdark and his lad, love the middle name(s)! Great to see (forever!) banned GlasgowBlue also I really nice afternoon/evening in Aberdeen, locals all really nice and engaging, had a few shouts of ‘come on Ipswich beat those Aberdeen c**ts’ as we walked through the city, assume Rangers fans haha. Walked along the seafront up to the ground and that’s a lovely bit of coastline by the look of it. Post game Aberdeen fans were really complimentary about our team, had one come up to us and say he enjoyed watching us and was really impressed. Couple of others saying how good we were. Positive signs. A lot of mentions of the 80s team from various people as well, seem to have a good name for ourselves up here as they were obviously up against us back then. Enjoyable turn out from our fans, walking back to the hotel just now through the City and kept bumping into more, we do travel well, fanbase is a credit to the club. COYB |  |

Yep, a few more additions and we will be even better. |  |

Broadly agree with OP and KM's statement on Omari makes it clear we do at least have a chance of keeping hold of him. Elephant in the room (no not him) for me is that we are still objectively very light in key positions and the start we've been given is really unforgiving. Starting XI looks great and raring to go, but AAH coming and for tiring Hirst and only Cam Humphries for back up to an unproven starting CM pairing. Really will be sub optimal going into any of those starting fixtures like that given we've basically got two six pointers in the opening two games. Does feel like we're leaving it awfully late (again) to get those very obvious key additions through the door. |  | |  |
