For who? We’ve spunked our CB slot on Woolfenden who looks even worse and have three LBs where Dasilva is still the standout by a mile. Maybe KKH there.

Its both. The players are crap and the only coach I’ve seen who can overcome that with a system is Lawrence. I think most Championship defences are pretty poor but our CBs are spectacularly poor at defending one on one or defending their box which means they don’t compensate at all.

It’s just the constant pretending every goal is his fault when this one for example has Kitchings name all over it. You think I’m stanning for Dasilva when in fact I’m complaining about your stanning for Thomas and Shitching.

Sometimes I exaggerate for comedic effect

Simms and Wright for the money we paid have dreadful technique. Simms in particular. Torp is OK but I’m fitter than him and my 10 year old is more physical than Sakamoto. Woolfenden, Thomas and Kitching are truly dreadful defenders. EMC is very hit and miss. Just not what I expect from a bunch...

Will fit right into our first team then (zing!)

Well they didn’t and he isn’t. Robins was though.

For me since he took over the players we’ve signed have generally had poor technique or a fatal physical flaw and have had poor mentality as well as generally being at best costing roughly what you’d expect. I don’t think we’ve unearthed a single gem and have overpaid for some very average...

It’s not a slight at anyone but Austin, who I think is a poor scout. I just don’t agree with a system where a manager doesn’t have full control over the resources available to do the job. I didn’t agree with King blocking Bamford either. Give the manager a budget and let him use it how he sees...

He’s just come back from AFCON and has been training with a PL team all season. I think it’s bad enough Markelo seemingly can’t keep himself fit over a two week break, but no reason Onyeka shouldn’t be.

Amazing the number of people that think we won’t start a player we’ve agreed to sign if we get promoted. Are we just thinking too soon?

I take it you haven’t finished watching the highlights then cos we did the exact same thing from the right too. The problem is two CBs who couldn’t defend their box if their life depended on it no matter how much you want to blame the wingbacks.

I’ve not claimed he has zero involvement. But everything from the club suggests it’s mostly about trusting Dean Austin and maybe the manager gives a once over at the end then Doug gives the final yes or no. Frank having a zoom chat doesn’t really change that opinion.

Dasilva was back. Eccles and Grimes were further back than Kitching. You keep banging on about this and all it does is show you don’t understand how our fullbacks are asked by the manager to play.

He’s the only coach I’ve seen set us up defensively with any competence tbh. Also WBA are in a very different place and don’t have players he knows.

Assuming Onyeka signs I’d drop Grimes but not change shape. Kamikaze seems to work at home against teams that aren’t Ipswich even if the football is a bit crap. Rushworth MvE Thomas Lats Dasilva Onyeka Torp Saka Rudoni EMC/Esse Wright Chuck some of our many wingers on and swap strikers at...

Was Thomas’ man there really. Kitching had taken himself out of the game with his stupid “run to the halfway line and miss the ball” thing he’s always doing.

Got to say I’m more worried that our manager seems to be refusing to look at his part in this than any player. Nothing is stopping him telling Eccles or Torp to play deeper or the fullbacks not to bomb on when we’re one up away from home after a run of seven without a win. The hope seems to be...

Would genuinely offer Dennis Lawrence the money we’d be spending on a player to come here instead of West Brom.
