Egeli would be a great signing as he can play CF as well as wide, and he doesn’t impact squad limits (albeit he could be considered a risk) he’d then fill the two forward roles you’ve highlighted. If we then get another CM, which I agree we need then I think Taylor might be on his way.
That would take us to a 25 man squad I think |

They’ve known since January that Broadhead, Taylor, Burgess and Woolfy wanted more game time, each could have gone then, but weren’t allowed because of the injury situation. |

It was an out of possession move that stopped their “free” midfielder ending up in loads of space as we pressed high, he won the ball several times and closed down the space that had allowed them to dominate the ball for spells of the first half. |

Are we going to keep scratching the Premier League scab for ever. Last season is gone, lessons have been learned, hence the change in recruitment targets now.
For evidence that KM doesn’t just keep playing the same way, look at how Greaves was deployed in the second half against Saints. We’d frequently allowed them to play out from the back, in the first half, so Greaves frequently stepped forward to pick up in central midfield when their keeper had the ball, leaving O’Shea to mark Armstrong and with Johnson and Davis sitting deeper. |

I’d agree you’ve been consistent, I’m questioning what you achieve. You’ve always seemed to be quite balanced in the past, although it seems (to me anyway ) you’ve let frustration get the better of you on this issue. No problem, we’re all Town fans, let’s review our transfer window when it’s all done. COYB. |

I’m a little bit puzzled as to why you’re determined to present as negative a view as possible of the team you support. It’s been relentless recently. What do you believe you achieve by this attitude. Let’s be clear it’s not presented for discussion because you refuse to acknowledge an alternative viewpoint. |

We don’t have to run away with it, even when we went up, in neither season did we do that, instead it went to the penultimate game each time before we could be confident of promotion.
Do you think this squad could win 29/30 matches? If so, with some inevitable draws, that’s going to equate to 90+ points, so if you’re correct and it’s wide open, then likely that would be enough for promotion. The play offs can be achieved with 23 wins, half the games.
Last time in this league we only lost 4 games and this squad is much better than that one, albeit sentimentality suggest it isn’t. We’ll be fine, but it will be the usual bumpy ride in this division. |

Can we make a loan signing permanent outside the transfer window? Just wondered if that might be a solution eventually, even if we have to wait for the January window. |

His first touch is simply not good enough, much as I would have liked to see him succeed, he is way off even against L2 opposition |

Oh I realise the irony of Ipswich fans complaining about this, and you’re right we can’t have it both ways. Maybe it would have been best if the European Super League had happened, with no promotions or relegations, and left the rest of football to get on with their local leagues. Maybe it will in the future, as I can see the business appeal of no relegation. |

I think the reason is the movement away from the football club as a community asset, inevitable I guess but at PL level, as we saw last year, it no longer resembles that, and this represents another, even greater move in that direction. |

at 11:14 11 Aug 2025
We were closed down very effectively by Birmingham, especially in the first half. That meant we often had no option npbut to go longer, partly to avoid losing possession in our own defensive third but also to try and exploit their press and pin them back a little. It was noticeable that once they tired a little and brought on their subs we were able to play out from the back, albeit that we still weren’t at our best.
I think also we had a bit of a makeshift team out, with players not fully match fit, so McKenna played more of a containing game. Once we’ve had time to integrate new players and get the squad back to full strength we will see more of the possession based play. Worth noting you don’t get points for possession though!! |

Zero chance he would stay whatever, but he’s made a mistake going to Chelsea in my opinion. They hoard players and with Pedro brought in he’s not likely to start many PL games. |

The rumour is that it’s proving difficult to agree the contract, should the he join permanently. |
