Baggott and Humphreys
at 12:20 1 Sep 2025

EDIT - I missed Leif - so we are at 25

Does that take us to 24 spots with 1 left free, or we name Fletcher in squad as a loanee

GK - Palmer, Walton, Button
RB - Furlong, Young, Johnson
RCB - O'Shea, Kipre
LCB - Greaves, Baggott
LB - Davis
RCM - Matusiwa, Humphreys
LCM - Cajuste, Nunez, Taylor
RW - McAteer, Burns, [Walle Egeli]
R10 - Szmodics, Akpom, Chaplin
L10 - Philogene, Clarke
ST - Hirst, Azon

Who is this Benjaimn Bloom?
at 10:19 1 Sep 2025

Also, and whilst I can confirm Ben is [clearly] an Ipswich fan - the host on the shows that Ben presents are there to elicit opinions from the pundits.

I tend to refer back to Ben on wider Championship views as he is much more dialled in to that than I am, in the same way that I am more dialled in with Ipswich - because of our roles on the pod

These road closures around PR sound chaotic tomorrow...

I get there quite early, but this doesn't feel like it's been well communicated ahead of tomorrow, and seems to get rid of a few car parks as can no longer be accessed - the SCC multi storey, the one on PR, access to the one behind the old Hollywoods, etc

Hop to it Trail Ipswich
at 22:25 28 Aug 2025

It’s really good, but also all over the county - last time they did the trail they were basically cleared in night it finished so may not have them there

I really hope this has been a purchase that has been thought through

He's about the most similar player to Hayden Hackney in the Championship - if that is the profile we've clearly wanted we've been able to land a proven Champ player of that profile

Would be the end of Ben Johnson here so only way it really works is if he comes in and BJ goes out, which to be blunt I wouldn't be at all bothered to lose BJ

He's not actually Irish [yet!], doesn't have a passport so is having to sort out his residency requirement to be eligible for them for the future

Egeli, plus a CM and a CF....

I wouldn't be comfortable with that trio, there's no one to just battle with Hirst for the number 9 shirt

...plus a replacement for Woolfenden if he does go

Feels like the minimum we need to do - will we get it all done?

5 days to make a number of key signings
at 08:51 26 Aug 2025

I was more frustrated at what I knew the reaction elsewhere will be and having to deal with it when I speak to people.....!

We are heading in right direction, think a few areas of team look good but the front 5 [Davis, Philogene, Hirst, Szmodics, Clarke] on Saturday were just disjointed and misfiring .

To be nerdy about it, our numbers are pretty good in the main - and we've had a tough start - we should only improve from here and look more fluid so results will follow.

But the transfer window been a bit of an abomination, but when you look at parachute clubs it's just the nature of the beast now...we aren't doing anything worse than our peers but deals just push right through to end of window now so we need to be patient.

2 points from 3 helps nothing, and we need to find a way to convert performances when we edge games into results

Just the nature of the beast, but it is bloody annoying how the window works.

We are a couple of steps ahead of Soton and Leicester at least who are still going to end up selling as well as buying this week.....we are now in final straight with full focus on incomings at least

Where are we then?
at 11:05 22 Aug 2025

GK - Palmer, Walton, Button
FB - Young, Clarke, Johnson, Davis
CB - O'Shea, Greaves, Woolf, Kipre
CM - Matusiwa, Cajuste, Taylor, Humphreys
RW - Ogbene, McAteer, [Burns]
R10 - Szodics, Chaplin
L10 - Philogene, Clarke
ST - Hirst, Akpom

I'd say - with no 1 in 1 out transfers [i.e. Woolfie replaced by Caceres] it's like this

GK - Sorted
FB - Can we get a further LB in? Or just go with what we have [Young, Johnson, Humphreys]
CB - Sorted
CM - Need someone to back up Matusiwa, plus I'd prefer to upgrade the guy rotating with Jens
AM - Need at least 1 more in there, a left footed dribbler
ST - Need at least 1 more in there to put real pressure on Hirst and free Akpom up

So if we said

Back Up 6
New 8 [Hackney, James, Billing]
New Left Footed Dribbler [Egeli, Ragg-Zaggy]
New striker [Ivanovic, AN Other]

We'd be happy

Kasey McAteer - here we go!
at 09:22 22 Aug 2025

I really like the signing, but fee feels heavy for him.

Our right side forward position is very weak - we've so far seen Ogbene feeling his way back to fitness and Jack Clarke there.

For fit players we now have

RW - Ogbene, McAteer
R10 - Szmodics, Chaplin
L10 - Philogene, Clarke

ST - Hirst, Akpom

Needs a sprinking of stardust into the 10s a la Omari, and another 9 option to free up Akpom too - but it is a lot better balanced now Broady has gone and McAteer replacing him

Bigger fee than I thought it would be, but really like the signing and improves us instantly on that right hand side with Ogbene feeling his way back and Burns out with an ACL. Gives us exactly what we need in that role.

We still need another versatile option up there, but really like the fit of this one
