Dont rule out McK playing Walle Egeli on the left. look how he operates here...he really can play anywhere across the front but will end up as our 9....if we keep him for long enough !
No one's place is safe up top from Friday which has to be good ! |

Comment | Ogbene: Nine Months Out Injured Was Life-Changing
at 08:04:52
Wonderful interview from a great guy, but I wonder if mentally he has healed yet, as he did not seem willing or (doubt this from the interview) able to sprint fully, even this pre/season. I hope he can get back that explosive speed during his loan, as that is his USP and what could still take him to the top....hopefully with us next season. |

Comment | Cajuste: Town Culture Suits Me Perfectly
at 13:10:14
We got a snippet of what a fully fit Jens could give us at this level on Saturday when he was so much better than anyone else on the pitch....presumably why Travis tried to nobble him...twice. However, 90 minute performances have eluded him at Town and he ran out of steam in 2nd half. Hopefully we can see 90 min performances in the near future; if we do then hard to believe that will not push us closer to promotion. |

tetchris if this did indeed cause M.A. to panic and buy Furling instead...then thank goodness. Not only do we not have at least 1 expensive recruit agitating on the bench, not only does Elkin get a shot at some 1st Team football which is important for him and the optics on the Academy, but also because I believe Furlong may prove to be a pivotal signing.
Furlong gives us true balance at RB, will play the position in the way KMcK always wants the role played, will be 7/8 out of 10 every week, and with natural balance/pace/power will open things up to allow our forward players (incl Leif) to to the damage they have failed to inflict so far this season with (e.g.) Johnson clogging things up down the Right. Wait and see ! He will also improve us in the air in both boxes by the way. |

Good luck to the lad...but I keep saying the same thing that at 18 and older, these 'kids' we are signing need to be looking at 1st Team action otherwise (which I cannot see happening) one can only presume this is an exercise in asset trading again?! |

Comment | Chaplin: The Best Four Years of My Life

Heck of a post darkhorse28...and what many of us are thinking. McKenna worked wonders before, but he had a funnel into the players in Sammy and Chappers. Look at the body language of some of our players now before and during games; those 2 would NEVER have accepted this. Unless McKenna identifies a real leader in this squad quickly, I worry the job (promotion) may be a step too far.....but I do think Young is a good temporary option, as he is the only one acting with any leadership right now! |

Comment | Walle Egeli: As Soon as My Agent Mentioned Ipswich I Wanted the Move
at 17:10:28
OK interviews mean nothing, but you would still rather have a great one than come off like an idiot ! Main thing is, as Mick Mills stated, he plays immediately for the money spent and whilst I do not know where he will play across the front, he must make an impact as none of our new arrivals have yet shown they are a significant upgrade on our last Championship team....and that team had spirit/momentum.....so we will NEED to be better! |

Sad day, but surely not Clarke as well ?! Johnson MUST GO before we let Harry out the door....perhaps Johnson's high salary may factor in trying to release him....and his Premier League credentials draws some interest....please. |

Comment | Day of Departures Expected at Town
at 10:20:28
I can generally understand our transfer strategy, but our mismanagement of Burgess and Woolfy does not sit right. I can understand bringing in O'Shea (never a captain) and Grieves, but they should have been made to earn the shirts as I do not beleive they have shown as an upgrade on the 2 in the building....and we have lost Woolfy's ability to put his foot on the ball, spray it or bring it forward; yes Grieves tries to do that but just not an upgrade for me.
Woolfy could/should be our captain now, instead we are likely to lose him, strengthen another team, and yet I understand why he wants to leave and will (as with Burg) wish him all the best for everything he has done and given the Club. |

Comment | Blades Linked With Ogbene Loan Talks
at 09:55:02
The lad is clearly not over his injury....have not seen him sprint since he came back. He is also 3rd choice on the right now, behind at least McAteer and Egeli and he would be on decent money. Seems obv he needs to leave as does Johnson; 2 of the most disappointing signings we have made in recent times but for completely diff reasons and wish Chieo all the best and would always be welcome back if he can get his mojo back! |

Comment | Town and Swans Mfuni 'Approaches Rejected'
at 17:28:42
Suspect the appeal is cos he does not count to squad numbers but could be good enough to contribute. Can't see how he improves us in any way tho. We don't give our own youngsters a chance so why do this ? Ashton promised we would not train youngsters for other Clubs any more, but Azon looks to break with that already. |

Comment | Travis: Cajuste Tackle Totally Accidental
at 17:25:29
About as bad as we will play all season at home, and we get a blatant pen not given against Hirst and an impossibly obvious Red Card for Travis who I like as a player/man, but is taking the #### if he thinks it is anything but a Red.....to be fair he does not say it should not be Red, just that he did not intend to hurt Jens. So that's all OK then!
My main issue is with the appalling Ref. I can't believe officiating in Champ is worse than when we left; how low can it go ?! |

Comment | McKenna: Ogbene Could Move Out On Loan
at 20:51:58
This makes sense as the lad clearly does not trust his body yet, and needs regular minutes to get that trust back....as he is yet to truly sprint in game since his injury. And for a lad that previously relied on his pace that is a problem that a loan could help with. |

at 16:30:24
Apart from being a decent player, who should improve un der McKenna (natch/yawn) he has something about him and if our team is missing something it is a bit of s##t Housery, esp in the middle. Could do worse.....though we could have done so much better, but the Hackney dream seems very much over sadly. |

Comment | Town Among Clubs Linked With Manchester City Right-Back
at 12:01:30
The only reason anyone could say we do need a RB is they have not been watching Johnson....Young looked on a different level to Johnson when he came on which accentuated how poor he has been in 3 games so far....which cannot be helping Clarke in front of him. If we can lose Johnson and bring in someone with the attributes this lad has, then we should jump at it and take whatever cash we can get for Johnson. Does not affect transfer strategy at all if this can be done, and we have Young in place until he gets up to speed. |
