Louie barry recalled by villa from ipswich, he's a striker isnt he?2

Not surprised they've called him back, Ipswich have about 15 attacking players to choose from don't they?1
-
Genuinely concerned that we’re going to be stuck in League One for the foreseeable. There was clearly a new manager bounce, but that seems to have diminished to some extent.We’re now looking at a large squad of averagely decent players who aren’t quite as good as we need for us to be genuine promotion contenders, a promising but inexperienced manager, and an owner who feels we have one of the best squads in League One.Hopefully one or two signings might freshen things up, but don’t be surprised if it’s not a dramatic transformation.
Of course I’d like to be proved wrong.10 -

I just can't see us getting the profile of the squad right for a good couple of years and I absolutely hate league one football.
I've seen regulars stop going in recent years. That won't be me, but away games are a rarity for me as are home cup games. Have to say I find the whole Charlton thing gets me down far more than it should.
The hardest thing is watching old stars return on Charlton TV and you realise the chasm between those teams and today's one, where the fans laud an extremely average player as the new Pele. I cringe in my seat every time I hear it.10 -

As Cafc43v3r says in league one we lose c.10 million per year before we spend a penny on transfers.
There seems to be a lot of people throwing negative and often unsubstantiated flack at TS and I am struggling to understand why.
As far as I am concerned the only thing TS has got wrong so far is changing the women's team name which feels like a big own-goal for no benefit.
In terms of the men's team he has:
Saved the club from almost certain admin and possible liquidation.
Appointed an experienced manager who had previously taken a team from League One to the Prem ( yes it didnt work out but the logic was there)
Appointed club legend as manager.
Spent the most in the division on transfers (more than even Ipswich btw)
Made progress towards academy cat 1 status (we would be the first ever league one club to attain this).
Give the guy a break please, he has been here 18 months, he will make some mistakes but he clearly wants the club to progress.64 -

I also get his point about seeing the old players as I find it hard to watch all the great clips from yesteryear as it’s a case of this is what you used to have.2 -

Also, do you think the loan signings we have made came free?5 -

But I'm not criticising Sandgaard, we make a substantial loss every season and I'm happy with a owner that gives a shit and wants us to improve.2 -

The title of this thread is supposed to read:
'actual transfers start p122'
So keep posting guys. We have to get there before the 'slamming shut' happens.4 -

I hope the club is being proactive in getting in an additional striker, and not just waiting until the end of the window, assuming we're not already planning for next season. We've got 2 winnable away games next week, lose those and the league season will be over, but they're exactly the sort of games we've struggled in.0

Think fans often view their teams players as being better than they actually are both individually and collectively. For me it’s pretty clear we as a club are nowhere near having a squad I’d feel confident in saying will get promoted. The transformation needed before next season commences seems unlikely to me. I think we will need to get it right over the next two or three seasons. Not going to be easy.1
-
A lot of people saying that we're going nowhere this year - and now is the ideal time to rebuild for next season.
They may be right, of course. But I don't believe Jacko and his coaching team are ready to surrender this season just yet - although no doubt they realise it's a tough ask. Jacko says:“I don’t stare at the league table and think about gaps, or things like that. I think about the next game. What we need to do to try and win it. If we win enough it will take us where we want to go – if not we’ll fall short.
“We’re coming from a long way behind, aren’t we? It was always going to be a difficult task.”
We have a very decent team for this level, providing we can field our best XI every game. But if one or more key players are missing, that's when we struggle.
This transfer window, that surely is the issue that will be addressed?

Do we actually have scouts and a scouting network in place these days or are so called talented up and coming players identified by their playing stats?0

I never said our transfer business was cheap. I've never accused Sandgaard of failing to spend a sufficient amount. I'm merely pointing out that we were certainly not the biggest spenders in the league. Not that it did Ipswich much good anyway, they're not bossing the league like a lot thought.0 -
£2m was the figure i was told, including transfer and loan fees and agents fees1
