Contracted players for next season....
at 13:41 14 Mar 2024

...following on from the 'overhaul' thread I make it these players will count against the squad limit next season and are contracted:

Over 21s contracted - i.e.will count against the squad limit - 20 players

GK (1)
Slicker

RB (1)
Clarke

LB (1)
Davis

CB (4)
Edmundson
Woolfenden
Ndaba
Baggott

CM (5)
Morsy
Taylor
Luongo
Humphreys
El Mizouni

W/10 (4)
Burns
Chaplin
Harness
Broadhead

CF (4)
Al-Hamadi
Hirst
Ahadme
Ladapo

Out of contract - 10 players
Walton
Ball
Burgess
Jackson
Aluko
Camara
Hladky
Hayes
Tuanzebe
Donacien

You'd expect Burgess and one of the keepers to be retained as an absolute bare minimum there, personally I'd say both keepers, even if it is just to try and sell Walton

Effectively leaves us like this at 23 of the allowed 25 players

GK (3)
Slicker
Hladky
Walton

RB (1)
Clarke

LB (1)
Davis

CB (5)
Edmundson
Woolfenden
Ndaba
Baggott
Burgess

CM (5)
Morsy
Taylor
Luongo
Humphreys
El Mizouni

W/10 (4)
Burns
Chaplin
Harness
Broadhead

CF (4)
Al-Hamadi
Hirst
Ahadme
Ladapo

GK - 1 will likely go
CB - Imagine at least 1, if not both, of Baggott and Ndaba go out on loan
CM - El Mizouni likely not to play a part here
CF - Ladapo to go, Ahadme loan or sale

Takes us down to about 17 players so 8 slots which we are very likely to fill, plus the sale of players we don't want to lose (i.e. Davis), and the sale of players we are maybe happier to move on (i.e. Edmundson, or even Taylor)

I could see us pushing back up to the 25 man limit next season as KMc likes a big squad, and there being 10 new signings in that, whether they be permanent or loan.

Illness in the camp.....
at 14:55 11 Mar 2024

....according to Stuart Watson on today's KoA podcast. McKenna had been struck down and put his presser back a day and apparently had been in playing squad.

May go some way to explain the injury time performance when we looked dead on feet after yet more long travel.

Time for a good week on the training ground, beat Sheffield Wednesday then another secret club trip to a Gulf State for some R&R ahead of the run in

Sure we’ll have loads of posts about what we can’t do, what’s wrong with u

…and people forget that all these things we will have done numerous times over the last 2 seasons.

Massively frustrating, but think the subs we made to win the game worked, but then they weren’t the right subs to see it out….struggled to get a hold of Colwill. 9/10 that’s a foul given on Davis too.

We restart the winning run next week at Portman Road

Brandon Williams update in the Broadhead story
at 10:04 8 Mar 2024

At this point, even if he is to get back I struggle to see him getting up to speed as will have not played for 3 months plus

Regarding right-back Williams, who has been back at parent club Manchester United since the start of January, McKenna, whose side will wear their white third kit at the Cardiff City Stadium, says there is no date yet pencilled in for his return to the club.

“No news, that’s with the Man United medical team and out of our hands,” he said. “To be honest, our full focus is just with the players that are here.”

That a play on the West End will ensure that it will only show to an all black audience, or that people can be identifying as black as opposed to actually being black.

Putting aside the why and what of it, it really does leave us very short in the full back positions and with 15 games left, and time it will take to get up to fitness you wonder how much he'll be able to contribute even if he comes back in the next few days

Next Ipswich manager....
at 15:01 9 Feb 2024

....obviously hopeful it doesn't come to this in the summer - but has anyone caught your eye and feels gettable?

2 managers I've liked a lot of what I've seen off

Carlos Corberan - WBA and club in a mess
Danny Rohl - Sheff Weds

Rohl's probably going to see them go down, but he has turned round a squad who were dire and the worst in the Champ and got them looking good whenever I've seen them. Maybe just run out of steam a bit now as relegation creeps up on them. They are on Sky tonight
