    Funny time to announce a signing.... 

    It's normally at the top of the hour 
    We’re not moaning about the exact minute a signing is announced now are we?

    I mean come on…surely a bit much!

    Not moaning at all. They are normally automated tweets that go out at the top of the hour.

    I like how we only have two loan signings at the moment.

    Could still fill the other three slots, and may well use two of them if we sign a Left-Back / Striker

    But nice we're not banking our season on them this time around as much

    Gallen says one or two more could come in and one or two could go. I hope it’s a striker and a centre back (ideally left sided) we’re after. I have more confidence in Clayden stepping up than Ness, it’s easier for a young full back to come in and I don’t like the idea of Inniss being one of only three senior CBs.

     Biggest thing to note is that Gallen or Garner haven’t said that this is the signing they have been working on for a long time. Still think that is Tyreece Simpson which hopefully will come later in the window.

    Ipswich will definitely release him….just likely holding out to see if anyone comes nearer to their 600k valuation (but I expect he will be sold for nearer 400k close to deadline day… to hopefully us).

    Completely agree about Inniss being one of three, huge risk. Feel LB could still be strengthened though, whilst you’re right it is easier for a young LB to come in, Clayden isn’t a LB.

    I think we will sign him in January.

    Have commented on this before but maybe he is and he’s finally found his best position? He has the pace we want in that position and isn’t good enough to challenge for a place in the front three.

    A backwards Lee Sharpe?

    I really need to stop making jokes based in the 1980/90s.

    Fair and it’s possible. Although I think it’s more likely he’s being played there out of necessity. Not a position I’d necessarily panic and rule the season over but ideally I’d bring another in.

    Thanks for the memories, Ben. The painful, awful memories.

    I think we should henceforth refer to that Pratley-Watson midfield pairing as 'The Partnership that shall not be Named.' Like Voldemort.

    Getting worried now.

    Three weeks until the window closes and we've signed no one for ages.

    If Tyreece Simpson is so good why are Ipswich selling him? Genuine question.

    I'm not one normally to comment on players, formations, what to expect of the new season etc. However, for the first time in years I actually feel really optimistic about the new season, slowly but surely each piece of the jigsaw is slowly coming together, I have the feeling we have a proper team in the making.

    He is a left back

    Another zippy forward in. Starting to make Stockley look even less of a fit for the players we have. Will still support him fully.

    He’s refusing to sign a new deal.

    Hasn't played since he was recalled in January either.. seems a weird one. From a quick YouTube glimpse looks like he'd be decent. Looks mobile but still strong.

    If anything we seem slightly over stocked with RBs when compared to our LB options
    In hindsight, signing an out and out LB over Sessegnon would have made more sense. Depends on whether Garner thinks Egbo can do a job at LB, if he does we'll probably stick with the 3 we've got and have Clayden as 4th choice. If not, he's got a decision to make, would he be content if Sessegnon gets injured and we have to use Clayden for 10-15 games. 

    The left-footed defender able to play LCB or LB makes sense on paper, but I don't really think that sort of player exists. You might get a LB capable of playing CB in a 3, or a CB capable of being a defensive LB, but how do you get a O'Connell and Sessegnon as one player?
    It seems a bit odd if we end up with 3 options at LB in Sessegnon, Clayden and Egbo, all being of the "can do a job" variety.

    And it looks a bit inconsistent to have a right footed LB cutting inside, but not have the same on the right seeing that all our RB options are right footers, Egbo, Clare and Sessegnon plus Ness who's been tried there.

    Agreed. Personally I'd prefer Clayden went out on loan and we brought in a left-footed LB. But with Clare, Sessegnon and Egbo I can easily see Garner being comfortable with them three fighting it out. If funds are tight it's going to be down the list
    Think Clayden’s left footed. 
    He is, but he’s not a left back. I thought he had a decent game Tuesday but was caught out of position a few times. Not sure I’d be comfortable with him for an extended run if Sessegnon was injured, especially if Kirk was in front of him. Having said that, I think Kirk would benefit from him in an attacking sense. 
    Being caught out of position a few times doesn’t mean his future isn’t at left back. Players make mistakes, especially younger ones adapting to first team football and learning a new position.

    It’s similar with Clare, just because a player was labelled as a midfielder or winger earlier in their career it doesn’t mean it’s his best position.

    If Clayden wants to play regularly at this level I think left back where his future is. I don’t see him being good enough in attack to play one of the wide forward roles. I also doubt we can bring in someone significantly better to be back up.
    No it doesn’t mean his future isn’t at left back, nor does playing there a couple of times mean it is. He done reasonably well the other night but when you think about what he done well, it was the attacking play and not the defensive side. I accept modern day full backs need to be good going forward so I’m not writing him off.

    Personally I feel he looks like a wing back and I’d be slightly worried defensively if him and Kirk were playing down the left together. Ultimately, if Garner has seen enough of him to be the back up LB that’s good enough for me. But I want him to be there cos he’s good enough and not because our squad is too thin or budget too small.

    No he’s not. He’s only started playing there recently, always played further forward.

    If not this season then next. Building blocks for the future.
    Permanent signings rather than 5 loan players.
    Dobson Clare and some won’t agree but Stockley were the start of the solid signings.

    Biggest missing element is a left hoofed centre back. It's not strictly O'Connell that has made us vulnerable, it's the fact it is easy to press a right footer on the left hand side when playing out.

    Make your mind up, are we hoofing it or playing out!
