I don't think the communication has helped at all

Perhaps they thought they could get another one over the line?

I think they tried to get in a loan signing but didn't get it over the line.

Top 6 squad? No.
Top 6 starting XI? Yes.

Wonder if we did fail to get something over the line or simply doubled down with a thin squad.

Insanity if we saw us the last two seasons and thought what we needed was fewer players of quality.

Seeing those squad depth charts floating around its clear to me this squad is set up to play 5 ATB given the depth at CB & wing back and lack of wingers. I wouldn’t want to see it become our preferred option, particularly at home, but I can see the benefits against certain opposition.

Some really odd comments being made in this thread.

Do people actually think that Ben Sheaf is the reason we got to the play offs last year?

Thoughts this morning.

Right side of brain: Relax! This team won 7-1 two weeks ago. We’re all good.

Left side of brain: Dele Alli could still do a job

The comments from Ipswich fans here.. a team that's absolutely schooled us the last few times we've played them btw, make for excellent reading. You don't often see that about outgoing players.
The disrespect from some on this forum about the Woolf will not be tolerated.

I don't know whether Lampards a chuck them in type manager or make them wait type manager tbh. We haven't signed him enough players to find out
I'd imagine he'd be in before too long, the defending has hardly been stellar has it.

We weren’t allowed to ask during the summer. Apparently wondering why there was no activity was bed wetting.

Comms from admin were indeed very poor.

They show a lack of understanding of how fans actually behave on that final day of the window.

I doubt the club even recognise it. The fan representative forum that meets with King should mention it as part of the feedback on fan experience. It’s an easy quick win.

And still Lampard never seemed to rate him by leaving on the bench, Eccles is an ok midfielder who lacks concentration at times and also follows the same standard Sheaf set by givin the ball away in stupid places

The reaction to Austin is crazy.

Look at the last 48 hrs for almost every club, even the champions Liverpool. Their biggest signing in the final day and one long term target missed.

Why do we think we should be able to operate in a different way to every other club ???

By signing Woolfenden it does give us the opportunity to play wing backs instead of wingers of and when injured/suspensions determine

5-2-3 might be a plan B.

Would be interesting to know who we were actually in for over the course of this window and the reasons why transfers didn't get over the line.

I think it’s been a boring, fairly uninspired window but given we bought our stadium and a few good players I’ll not be moaning.

Not really bothered about Raphael going out because it just means they don’t rate him highly enough right now to be of any value to the current squad. We’re very light out wide now which isn’t great and if we get hit with a few injuries it may get a bit ropey.

Overall, we’re at the same level in what on the face of it seems to be a weaker than expected championship so I don’t really doubt that we’ll be in and around the play-offs come crunch time.

I think Godo, Hughes and that Bodo CB were the only ones that got out that we actually bid for.

Yes I’ve always been fascinated by this.

It was one of the disappointing aspects of the interviews with Boddy and Adi that we never really got an insight on this …

If we’d been offered to be in this situation at the start of the summer there’s no way anyone would have said no.

Not every club does tweet that. It seems to be a modern thing because people are so desperate for signings.

If they had put that tweet out, it would have brought more negativity from our fans who have already lost their heads.

This window has been wack. The saving grace is we own the stadium that is what save the hierarchy all the criticism. Kept hearing about 2 lists they had at the end of last season of targets, guessing they lost the stayed in the championship list!

Probably changed when we spent £40m on a stadium I'd imagine.

Well he either rates him now and is more than happy for him to be first backup midfielder, or he must be really pissed off at selling Sheaf with no replacement.

Hakim Ziyech on a free? Lampard signed him for Chelsea, he said at the time the lure of playing for Frank was a major part of his decision. Obviously the amount of money they threw at him was probably a bigger contributory factor. Needs to play regularly to get back in the Morocco squad, only other team I’ve seen linked are Elche.
