Team for Ipswich


Is batth just not fit enough yet? Cos batth and Ballard would be my preference

Don’t care how much L09 loves the club Batth is the better CB
Well if the rumours are true about Batth leaving, he certainly looked like a player who knew he was leaving last night.
 
The problem could be motivation...as ever if you have two alternative 11s players are gonna realise they are in the back up squad. Maybe Batth is unhappy about not being first choice? Gooch maybe too (although he definitely should not be). I suggest they play better or fuck off...simple management😅
 
A shitty performance last night has everyone guessing we'll not be good enough.

Let's not lose our shit because a bunch of young'uns, and a handful of first teamers had a half arsed run out and got beat. It didn't look like anyone wanted to be there, let alone play tbh.

Real work starts Sunday.
One thing it does show that the squad is unbalanced and lacks strength in depth in certain areas of the pitch.

Everyone was buzzing after the performance against a top-half La Liga side a few days ago.

Now it's meltdown central because of a second choice side thrown together for a game that no-one wanted, with the sole purpose of giving players who will be on the bench on Sunday more minutes.

Hume Ballard Batth Cirkin

This board is completely incapable of dealing with even the slightest setback. It’s utterly ludicrous. What on earth they’ll be like when we get to the prem and lose most weeks:lol:
 
Cannyvaro is more than good enough imo. As is Batth if fit.
Baath is leaving by all accounts. And I don’t think we can rely on a CM at the back. It cost us against Luton last season and he cost us quite a few goals. He’s okay as a fill in 4th choice but we really need a few big lads at the back. I thought we’d have learned that lesson from last season but alas
 
O’Nien is not a centre back, it really is that simple. If Triantis and Seelt are deemed inexperienced and not first team ready and Batth is on his way we should be looking at a proven centre back as we are also relying on Ballard, excellent when fit, to stay injury free for a concerted period.

Whilst there’s a few weeks before the transfer window closes the lack of striking options for the start of the season is really worrying.

Where's he going? Read Blackburn deal was off so assumed he was now staying.
 
I hope Seelt and/or Triantis are deemed good enough for the first team, because I think we will need O'Nien in midfield sooner rather than later.
 
The team is certainly weaker than last season and when you consider the league looks to be way stronger than last season, we are going to struggle to be near the top 6.

I guess the hope is that improvement comes with experience..... Hemir to terrify all championship defenders and score 35 goals with Ekwah to win the Ballon D'or... or an inconsistent struggle.
 
Ridiculous really that despite signing 2 CBs and still having Batth, O'Nien (not a natural cb) will still start the first game.
This - he just isn’t a CB and shouldn’t be first choice. He’s brilliant to have in the squad as a second choice this and a third choice that and by extension he probably starts most games through injury etc but he cannot be your first choice CB if you expect to contend for playoffs
