Play offs are extremely unlikely.

important to consolidate this season now

People really do not understand the concept of squad depth, it is astounding.

What ? It’s a stronger squad than last season , top scorers and we’ve just made the defence better, we’ll be fine

Our attacking subs, without injuries, are BTA and Simms.

Our first 11 is superb I’m not coming on here being critical of that

teams have stronger squads though and they’ll prove beneficial and well run out of steam unless we recruit in January

shame we didn’t get a couple of loans in that we’ve had months to plan

I fully expect at least one marquee signing in January if we’re serious about getting promotion, ideally a wide forward

Be great when he’s our only rotation option up front and he might be away in the most congested part of the season

Simmo played 40 odd games last season too. That's an awful lot of time on the pitch just to write off, even if he doesn't score very often.

OK I'll entertain this. If Sakamoto gets injured, like he has previously, then BTA comes in. Our only attacking substitute is Simms. Is that good enough?

It’s just so frustrating, a couple of season loans would have sufficed and it might have meant we could get through till next summer

They’ve sort of left themselves in a predicament where we have no choice but to recruit

People are trying to convince themselves that BTA and Simms are good enough attacking depth, before even considering our depth if we get 1 attacker injured

The money I suspect was there, we were bidding on Woolfenden and Hughes. Come January we need to literally be ready to go on target a or b in positions x y z.

feels like Deja vu from last summer, fully understandable why fans are aggrieved we’re all onboard and I feel on the playing side I expected more I can’t lie

If we could play the same 11 we’d be top six no doubt, it’s a squad game and we don’t have it.

have a look at Leicester, Ipswich, Southampton, and the other top teams, the bench isn’t great, we’re right up there

More than likely we’ll play with two 8s again this year at some point so think you’ll be correct.

It is a shame but the step up from academy to championship is huge.

It's not even people like Turner or Romano it's people who, for some reason, make out like they know something and think it's cool to say "my sources" it does my head in, they know what we know in regards to what's happening behind the scenes... Absolutely fuck all.

Alot of them are on this forum hiding In the background see what's writen then go post it on X like they've been told directly from Doug, it's so stupid like sometimes I'll scroll through looking at football news see a tweet from a fan saying "my sources", I just think, " fuck off you dickhead" then log out

Are you joking? Ipswich had Szmodics, Akpom and Jack Clarke coming off the bench on the weekend as well as their new Spanish striker and the most expensive championship player ever

Like I said not great is it they haven’t won a game yet ? Where as our poor squad need to give us more credit, they don’t let us down when they’re needed, Eccles and Allen stepped in last season and were more than good enough,

I expected more also.

Wonder if the ground purchase was not planned (though surely that takes more time to sort the funding), and thus the transfer kitty was reduced.

Sheaf however I would also assume wasn’t planned this window which would contradict the above a little.

Which just makes me think we would buy a player if the right one was available, and we simply didn’t identify anyone outside of the ones that got away.

This contradicts your point sort of

our first 11 are winning us games at the moment

depth of squad isn’t so much of an issue thus far
