To bring a slight bit of nuance to the Wolfenden > Hughes debate. The year Ipswich went up they conceded 57 goals with him starting at centre half. Were conceded 58 last year and were defensively ‘frail’

Woolfenden sounds like Ipswich version of Josh Eccles, does a job when required, came through the academy and been part of a successful team but just lacking an edge at the top level. Hope he does we'll but I'm not convinced about this signing.

Reading the Ipswich forum, it seems like he’s the Ipswich version of Josh Eccles if he was actually better than Matt Grimes and deserved to start most games in front of him.

So essentially not at all.

I missed the part where we got automatically promoted with Josh Eccles starting every week.

But he’s a proven CH. So if Thomas or Kitching get injured we play Woolfenden rather than Lati. Ie our defence is strengthened

My issue is it’s our weakest area on the pitch, I hope Woolfenden can improve it but sceptical he’s better than what we already have

What about the 11th century text in the Domesday Book which states “Thine centre half shall work as a collective, bequeathing unto each other the collective burden of thy defence, in the name of the Lord our Saviour, Gary Breen”?

I’m warming to the wolf signing. A lot of championship teams were after him and he’s chose us by the looks of it. No shame losing his place at Ipswich to 2 £20m centre halves.

About Hughes projected level in a year then in value, I just had a thought he could be another Harry McGuire (Hughes)

I can’t say I’m that overly excited by the signing judging from the reports and his stats (yes I know stats only tell half a story). He does seem to be a tidy player but he’s seems to be weak aerially and in the tackle which is a concern for a CB.

Does he ultimately strengthen our squad? Yes but I think that’s about the limit of my excitement.
