    Not sure we have the numbers yet to be able to loan any more out. Only last week we couldn’t field a full subs bench and we’ve made one signing since. Ok we’ve some out injured but we’ll always have rhat. Cooper and Bamford rarely available and might as well be elsewhere. I’m afraid poor Dallas mightnt be able to make much of a contribution going forward so that’s effectively three we’re basically carrying

    What impressed me yesterday was his confidence to carry the ball, the run and pass to Sini for our 4th was terrific. He looked composed in tight situations, and remember he was not playing his preferred side of the park. Thought he also did very well against West Brom. He looks a different player, all of a sudden. Maybe not PL standard, but he’ll do very well at this level

    I think what Bielsa did for KP, Farke is on course to do with Shackleton and Rutter

    We’ll see if it happens. Farke hasn’t got many signings wrong so far <ok>

    He might just be part of Farkes jigsaw. Our coach is building his own squad unlike those before him. We need another midfielder and he is a strong lad.

    So far Darlow, Rodon, Byram, Ampadu and Piroe are all very good signings so Kamara looks like being another. Not my cup of tea but if FARKE wants him fine. We need someone to take over from young Archie and we need someone creative, so Kamara and and another one in there is great and needed as Gyabi has dissapointed after a promising start

    Great result and we were clinical, but if you’re an Ipswich fan you’d feel mugged. Seems like we saw Farkeball good and bad yesterday. Lots of attacking threat, not great defensively. Hopefully some defensive reinforcements before deadline day will help a bit but we’re likely to be in some high scoring games this season.

    Think most of us can see we now need a new right back as well as strengthening in midfield.

    No updates recently on Firpo's injury either but if he can get himself fit we have the left footed left back you all seem to crave.

    Firpo won’t stay fit though. Apart from anything else he’s a sick note that’ll be lucky to play half a season so we’ll need cover. Looks like right side needs sorting alright.

    Hopefully just felt something in his groin and it won't keep him out for long :emoticon-0131-angel

    Morning all. Forgot what it’s like to wake up after a win. Saw the highlights on Sky. Their first goal looked offside? And boy are we unlucky. Every goal they scored was due to a fortunate deflection. Even from the poor Drameh back pass. He kept getting caught because he was trying to get the ball onto his right foot. Some people might say we a ****ing left footer there <whistle>

    On the subject of sick notes, players who will never be available for half a season. Cooper, Dallas Ayling Firpo, Byram, Bamford, Poveda and maybe even Sinisterra.

    Cooper kept on for his captaincy yet injured, Ayling kept on for being vice captain but isn’t as good as Drameh at RB. Yes everyone now seems to hate Drameh but trust me everyone wwill shortly get sick of Ayling getting skinned, giving away stupid free kicks and penalties. Spending cash on a RB when we have one seems stupid to me and Drameh should be given a chance to shine. Firpo has been injured more than being fit since we bought him, Byram has had injury troubles for years, Poveda has injuries every season, Bamford hasnt been fit for 2 seasons and Dallas may never get fit again.

    We know a lot of players have gone but we have an underlying bomb waiting go off and we should have started dealing with it last summer and maybe we would still be in the prem?

    Blackburn taken the lead at Watford after Watford have been far the better side. Just confirms that you need to be clinical in football.

    That's why keeping Sini and buying Piroe may prove to be the difference for us this season.
