 | News Comment | Chaplin: The Best Four Years of My Life at 07:38:45
All the very best Chappers. I always felt our attackers were provided with good service when you played. You had developed an excellent understanding with those around you. I have no idea why you did not play more in The Premier. Portsmouth will be a lovely move for you but hopefully you will return to Town and Suffolk in some capacity at some point. |
 | News Comment | Chaplin's Portsmouth Loan Return Confirmed at 13:11:20
The loss of Wolfie and Conor has just about sunk in with me but whilst trying to remain positive I cannot help thinking there have been far too many changes for us to be a real force this season. The squad which took us on an unbelievable journey for three years has all but been ripped apart in Paul Cook style. I do appreciate there was no choice re Delap and Hutchinson. It looks to me that we now have several players that are very similar. It will be difficult to pick a strongest eleven. Despite this we are still short of experienced players, Ones that are streetwise. We have lots of talented individuals but they must learn very quickly to become team players. Trying look at my glass as being half full but it is very difficult. We hear lots from management that we must get behind the team. Of course I understand that but was it really necessary to try and fix what was largely unbroken? |

I hope management know what they are doing because I can think of Two or Three others who should be moved on before Chaplin. |
 | News Comment | Woolfenden Undergoing Coventry Medical at 12:54:04
I can understand why he wants to go as he has seldom been given a chance of having a run of games. I find this odd because of all of our defenders he looks the most comfortable on the ball. Given that large fees were paid for the other defenders it was obvious they were going to start games ahead of Luke despite the arguably being no better. Good luck at Coventry Luke I’m sure you will do well there. |

The highlight of the afternoon was the entertaining entrances by our Two new signings. Really enjoyed that. The positives for me was that we got a point by not giving up even when not playing well. Also Cajuste in the first half was outstanding and on that form will dictate any opposition midfield.just need Nunez in there with him and we will be flying. Young once again defied his years. The negatives are the team for long spells looked like strangers which for One or Two can be excused but what has happened to our no fear approach when we were last in The Championship? I think this will be another rebuild season. Finally I appreciate we are going to have some poor referees this season but this One takes the Trophy already for the most incompetent ref. The amount of time wasting he allowed was unacceptable. He was not helped by equally incompetent assistants. Mick Mills said it on Radio Suffolk a comment that I agree with which was that Kieran very quickly has to field what his strongest eleven is and stick with them. For me that must include the new signings even if it upsets some of our more established players. |

You couldn’t write this transfer window. I’ve lost track of who we are currently after. Nunez reported to have had a medical last night and yet no further update today? |
 | News Comment | McKenna: All Transfer Windows Are Tough, This Has Had the Most Challenging Situations at 18:32:24
It seems like players were moving on for differing reasons. Delap and Hutchinson to keep in the Premier League and although the latter was handled badly it was understandable why they wanted out. Others have disappointed me somewhat. Broadhead again I understand he wanted to go back to Wales and in fairness to him for some reason he was never a nailed on starter despite arguably being our most naturally gifted player. Others such as Burgess and Tuanzebe I can only think they were not up for the fight to try to gain promotion again. Have they bettered themselves? Doubtful. I just don’t understand why we cannot attract players of a high standard. Geographically we are not that distant from London or the East Midlands, so I don’t think it’s that. Every summer window has been the same. I just hope we do not end up with new players joining just to fill the squad numbers. I would much rather give game time to the likes of Humphreys, Baggott and Barbrook. Either way we are a long way off being a promotion driving team this season. Finally and I have said this before but is everything ok behind the scenes? I don’t mean the players or coaching staff but from those above including the owners who have been very quiet lately. |

Luke Woolfenden is a fine player and certainly does not let anyone down when he plays. In my opinion he is equally as good as our other defenders. Should not sell him. |
 | News Comment | Ipswich Town 1-1 Southampton - Match Report at 15:54:32
Plenty to be encouraged about. A lot of players are either settling in or our established players trying to bond with them. We needed a much stronger midfield last season and still need new faces now. Jens Cajuste will be very strong but he will need a couple of others around him of similar standard. At the moment we are likely to be overrun in midfield. |
 | News Comment | Morsy: Hutchinson Exit Should Have Been Smoother at 14:06:14
This wouldn’t have happened a couple of seasons ago. Sadly some players who have experienced Premier league football may now ideas above their station. Kieran’s man management skills will certainly be tested now. |
