I've conceded we won't be getting any more defenders 13:10 - Jul 7 with 5250 viewsJ2BLUE

It seems our defence is now:

Kenlock/Nydam

Chambers/Nsiala/Woolf

Emmanuel/Donacien

I'm not going to count Nbada. Asking one young CB to step up is difficult enough. I hate having less than 8 defenders but it seems to be the Ipswich way in recent times. With Donacien and Chambers able to cover other positions and Skuse possibly covering CB if we're desperate I now have to reluctantly agree that we probably aren't bringing any more defenders in.

Nsiala made good progress towards end of season, after Pennington’s injury and a regular place in the starting eleven.

The final game, against Leeds, he was very impressive.

Hope is there.

'Good progress' is not really what I want to see from an allegedly experienced defender...

No problem with frees if they are of the right quality. We need a couple of bodies though.


Free agents stopped being paid as of June 30th. You'd think, if we're going to get the decent ones in that it would be very soon. If it drags on it will be concerning. Unless we're just waiting on Keane to prove his fitness before he signs but even then it has the potential to go wrong.

I think we are short defensively but we are really short up top. We finished the season with:

Harrison, Jackson, Quaner, Keane, Sears

We now have:

Norwood, Jackson, Sears (he's out until Xmas).

I think we need two personally, one of which can also play wide.


I may be completely wrong, but isn't Lancaster a wide/forward man?

We’ll be good again... one day

We could have had three but we sold Harrison. We can't even use meagre 450k from the Harrison transfer as 'THERE WILL BE NO MONEY TO SPEND' as Lambert says. And some people still lick Evans' arse.

Now we have to find some freebie. It is stupendous.


maybe, and again I could be wrong, but maybe PL is saying we have no money so clubs don't up asking prices for players

Our defence is very weak and lacks depth. An injury or suspension and we would be in trouble.

For me, we need a left back (Nydam is a holding midfielder - need round pegs in round holes) and at least one CB at an absolute minimum.

Plus some physicality in midfield. We've got a lot of technical ability there, but no-one, bar maybe Downes, willing to get stuck in. Which we'll need in the third division.

The quality mostly cost though.

And we need a quality. Not just 'bodies'.


Keane and Eaves are two without clubs that would fit the bill here.

He is as much a left back as he is a holding midfielder in my opinion. Too easy to pigeon hole players at that age.

We knew nothing was happening with Bart when Mayor was here.

We must be getting a striker. Chances are it probably will be Keane. If he can stay fit that is fine by me.

I do get the impression though that there is a section of our fanbase that would rather see us spunk a transfer fee on a player, any player just so they can see we're spending money rather than actually get in decent players on fees.

You've conceded? How have you come to this? there is a lot of time before the transfer deadline is over. Let's not be dramatic.

We might have to get people out before we can sign anyone or other teams need to get players in before we can sign/loan them.

Let's just wait and see rather than conceding on 7th July

We don’t really know what happened there - we may have still been trying to negotiate with Millwall at that point, or speaking with him in the hope that Bart didn’t have another suitor for a example. Quite probable that we didn’t offer him a deal in the end given where he ended up

Poor choice of words maybe. I just meant I have come to agree with those saying we won't sign more defenders. I'm not 'flouncing', simply saying that based on what we've seen and comments coming out of the club I would be surprised with any defensive additions.

Something along the lines of he wasn't bothered, if he didn't want to come he was ok with it as he only wanted players who want to be here.
