  • See the "mighty" Ipswich scrape a 2-2 home draw to Morecombe with a 90th min equalizer  B)
    From Bonne
    Would be nice to have players with league experience able to come off the bench to save a game. 
    We've got Pearce and Watson, how much experience do you need?

    Still need what we needed 3 weeks ago

    CB
    LB
    CAM
    LW
    ST

    As a minimum, with another attacking player that can play out wide as a bonus

    GK can be covered on emergency loan I guess

    Need 7 in my opinion. We're miles short of a balanced deep squad, and we only have 4 players injured - there won't be many times this season we don't have at least 4 players unavailable through injury or suspension. The fact there were, effectively, no subs today (Claydon so late as to barely count) shows you the faith Adkins has in those youngsters, whatever positive spin he might try to put on it publicly. 

    A striker
    2 Wingers
    A creative midfielder
    A left back
    A right centre back
    A reserve goalkeeper

    Doubt we'll get that many in 3 weeks.

    I do not see any good evidence we have replaced Aneke's 15 goals. And without those 15 last year we would be mid to lower half of the table. "Bodies" alone does not get the job done, imo, if the goal is promotion or even playoffs.

    Unpopular opinion...Morgan isn’t good enough CAM to get us promoted. Need a ball playing cm or CAM 
    Not going to disagree with this, he had 2 glorious chances today and completely faffed both of them. As a minimum he should be hitting the target, especially the second one

    I doubt you will find that it's that unpopular, and we 100% need someone else who can play in that position - but ask yourself what was the difference between our play in the first and second half and I feel like it was less long balls into Stockley and more playing through the midfield and Morgan.

    I'm not sure if he is good enough for 90 minutes, 46 games of a season, but I don't think we should be making out that he is a poor player either.

    We will score more goals this season than we did last season.

    Football isn’t as simple as plugging player X in and adding 15 goals.

    Couldn’t agree more. Think that was our main problem today.

    Think Morgan has the ability to play attacking midfield but to play in the hole you need to be a goal threat.

    No chance in my opinion. Although it's not the end of the world if we shore up at the back and in midfield.

    Wanna put some money on that prediction? We finished 4th in the division in goals (70) scored last season and I see no way we come close to that in 2021-22. How is a £20, payable via Venmo or PayPal? Very happy to lose that money if you are proven correct. B)

    Statistically Gilbey is a goalthreat when he has been played in a more advanced position. Whether he is also good enough for promotion is another question.

    Agree on the second the first came at him bloody quick and he had to hit it with his left.

    Second I expected better as he got a touch. 

    His creative passing is what has him as our CAM at the moment and he showed he can spray good passes around as he grew into the game. 

    He made intelligent runs into the box too, just needs that bit of composure on the strike, which he seems to have lost in favour of power.

    Go on then, a bit of fun. We can make it $20 since we’re both Stateside!

    Lol, no we won't, we averaged 1.52 goals last season, and have lost our top scorer and now play 1 up top

    Looks a better player than Clare to me, however ; not that I thought the latter is bad but I wonder if you need him and Dobson at home .

    Going for the lesser value amount. I like what you did there. Tight arse.
