Williams Remains at Town
at 08:45:56

For all we know Man United may have been running the rule over him to bring him back into their first team for 2nd half of the season as they are struggling. Would explain the mysterious nature of him going and the relative secrecy around it? Or could have just been illness as reported.

Edwards Leaves Town By Mutual Consent
at 13:42:18

Probably the best move for both parties.

With his injury it saves us the wages and even when fit he's unlikely to get game time here.

One of the best dribblers we've had in recent times and capable of magic moments, but unfortunately a real lack of end product which unfortunately is what wins matches. I think League One is about right for him.

Best of luck to him wherever he ends up (presumably Oxford in the summer). Always did his best and cost nothing so was worth signing at the time. Thank you Kyle for your efforts in the promotion season - certainly played a part.

West Bromwich Albion 2-0 Ipswich Town - Match Report
at 19:43:35

Well played West Brom. Game plan worked perfectly and nullified us completely.

It does seem teams have the measure of us these days. Press us high from the off and good chance you'll get an early goal.

Sometimes I do wish we had a plan B. Plan A works well usually but so often if it's not working we just change the players and keep the same formation and hope it works. We need to develop an alternative for games like this tonight where the opposition have clearly clued up on how to counter us.

McKenna: We Need a Training Facility Which Matches Our Ambitions
at 11:15:23

If we are serious about becoming a top level club we need top level facilities. We've got the top level manager and top level staff now. It's all coming together nicely. To be honest it's probably better to maybe focus on the facilities while we consolidate our position in the championship for a season or 2 and then once those are in place, THEN we make our promotion push. Hopefully by then we've amassed a few quid in the bank from player trading to be able to afford the bigger transfer fees on the players we will need.

McKenna: Burns Hopefully Training Tomorrow With Hirst, Walton Making Progress But Donacien Still Out
at 16:10:04

I think Axel might still be injured? I think we signed him before anybody else could take him, on the assumption that he's not too far off?

Not sure everyone will agree with me on this one but I'm perfectly fine with Jackson filling in at RW, with Hutch coming on as sub at 60 mins. Not a massive loss for us.

Welcome to the project Brandon!

Bout time KMcK pulled some strings and used his standing to secure a signing or two from his old clubs!

Stevenage Eyeing Baggott Loan
at 11:31:02

Has very good potential. Is he better than Burgess? Not far off but probably not quite. Assuming we are going to sign a new 1st choice LCB then think a full season in L1 would be great for him. Or whack a Jan recall in there if he's doing really well.

Town Closing in On Hutchinson Loan Signing
at 13:06:26

A raw talent who hopefully KMc can develop quickly into a top talent in this division. Imagine he might take a few games to come to terms with Championship football but hope once he finds his feet he can express himself in our attacking system. Good luck to the lad!

McKenna Tight-Lipped on Hutchinson
at 00:56:02

I still think we need a new first choice CB to play alongside Wolf. Burgess is OK and will be fine against the lower and more physical teams in the division or to shore up a match, but I think he will be found out by the faster or more skillful teams. I think KMc hasn't ruled one out. He says we're not looking to add just for the sake of numbers, but not that were not looking to add there entirely - which to me reading between the lines means we're looking for a new first choice CB.

Also his response about an imminent signing to me suggests Hutchinson is close and will hopefully be in by end of the week to challenge Wes on RW.

Duo in League One Team of the Season
at 08:27:32

Agree that Morsey should be in there. Doesn't get the most goals or assists which is probably why they have omitted him - but for everything else 100% should be there.

Don't agree Walton should be there though. I can why he'd be a candidate due to the number of clean sheets and goals conceeded (which I would say is testament to the whole team dominating games, but also to the defence as a whole unit) - but I have to conceed that Cooper has been a better keeper this season in terms of saves made and is half the reason Plymouth are where they are.

TWTD League Calculator 2022/23
at 10:46:06

So based on the calculator I have Wednesday 1st, Plymouth 2nd, us and Barnsly for 3rd or 4th depending on whether we beat Barnsley or lose.

I just cannot see where Plymouth and Wednesday are going to drop points. They literally have no hard games left on paper wheras we have several.

Thankfully football is not played on paper. But we definitely need some shock results to go our way to finish top 2.

McKenna: We Know It’s a Big Three Points
at 18:39:47

@Gforce I see your point - But Lambert also had no idea of coaching, tactics and had a very poor underfunded squad. You can't compare Lambert to McKenna. However I would love to see KM show some of PLs enthusiasm on the touchline as I honestly think it would help motivate the players.

McKenna: We Know It’s a Big Three Points
at 16:52:02

Massive, Massive game tomorrow.

Win and we stay in touch with the auto promotion hopefuls. Lose and we're completely dragged into the play-off scrap.

"An electric atmosphere can affect players' emotions and McKenna was asked whether it has a similar impact on him on the sidelines.
“I don't think so,” he reflected. “I think you can certainly look at the Premier League and see lots of high profile examples of the emotions that a manager can go through during a game.
“But I think the job where possible is to try and stay calm, to make sure we're able to analyse what's happening on the pitch as clearly as possible."

My personal opinion is his calmness may well work against him. You look at the top premiership managers - Klopp, Pep, Arteta, Conte etc going mad on the sidelines - and I think that energy can pass onto the players. I'd love to see our manager pacing the touchline barking encouragement and kicking every ball. Who knows, in some games this season that may have seen us through. I think that is something he lacks, but maybe thats just me.

Town Rebuff Hull Edwards Approach
at 13:09:06

Any idea what the bid was?

If it's something derisory like £100k then fair enough he's worth more than that. I wouldn't be averse to selling him if the deal was right for both parties though as he's on the fringes - probably the most skillfull player on our books and capable of moments of magic, but his end product is really bad - and only way he will improve that is with games, which he's not going to get here.
