I think we are being too passive in the window. Ipswich and Boro seem to be really keen to strengthen and I find our reluctance too a bit strange.

We don't really need anything. A top talent signing would be great of course but I don't think we're crying out for a signing.

Grimes back up the most likely. But on other positions we're fine

I just look at a few of the other deals going through, Mehmeti, Louza, etc I think they would add a lot to us

That's what he is there for. We also relied on Hadj and Esse scoring, thats football. Rushworth is part of the dference you do know

Rushworth is there to keep goal, yes. Clever of you to notice. But the defence and midfield aren’t supposed to be as easy as they have been - is the point.

It's more of a "think you have a jacket spud left for tea and then you find it's gone green and sprouted" performance.

So are you saying a good defence should never let a goalkeeper make saves and keep his team in the game. Thanks for noticing I'm clever not sure I can repeat the comment

Mehmeti and Louza would be excellent signings, as would Amass who has gone recently.

I dont think many would argue.

I know people like to say XG means nothing , but what it does show is preston are overachieving and create the chances of a bottom half team

Ipswich need to do something different to get to where we already are. We don't have the same pressure as them to build a Championship super-team right now, that should stand us in good stead next season.

Because we're several points ahead of them and have been consistently playing at a higher level than them all season.

Thats not much and can be eroded quite quickly.

I wouldn't say we have been playing a higher standard all season, at times yes but not all season. Remember they've beat us well twice

Hence their incentive to throw the kitchen sink at it.

If they do go up then they're looking at another season in the PL with a squad that's too good for the Championship and woefully ill-equipped for the top flight.

The more signings we make now, the more difficult it becomes to overhaul the squad in the summer to reach the required standard.
