You’re not imagining anything at all Mark. Only last Saturday at Shrewsbury Aluko switched to the left in the second half and was about to be joined by Celina until the Bugess sending off which scuppered McKenna’s plans. I thought we looked much better balanced when he switched across because until that happened we were heavily lop sided.AzzurroMark wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 8:55 amAgreed. If we strengthened our left side (and even through the middle) it would certainly give opposition teams more to contend with! As an opposition manager you look to see where a teams threats & weaknesses are and set up to nullify/exploit these. Virtually every single Ipswich fan can see we offer little down the left, so it is not hard to work out how to cut off our supply lines. Sadly most players who are nigh on impossible to freeze out play at the very highest level. I believe Burns would still give many Championship defences problems.Tangfastic wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 7:33 amI think Rossi must be on his own on that one. Burns has been great along with Donacien down that right-hand side. They've been the season highlights, for me, playing some great stuff down that wing. If we want to free up Burns then we have to get stronger in other areas of the pitch. Hardly his fault that we're so much stronger down that right-side and the opposition target him. It's really a compliment to him and illustrates where we need to improve.Blue Wilf wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 6:55 amWe would be crazy to ship out Burns. He has been player of the season by a distance for me. Yes, he has been frozen out at times and occasionally inconsistent but if that is the criteria then the whole squad and manager himself would be on the out list! We need to work out how to utilise him better and prevent those games where he has less impact. Not sure where we would find a better winger in division 3 so to suggest we get rid would frankly be a poor choice in my opinion. Still - if McKenna decides to do that then he must have some serious players willing to drop all the way down here! Lets see.
As a slight aside, i wonder if playing Aluko as more of a left sided player would help? I am sure in one of our games, Sone was played there (maybe for only part of the game) and, along with Burns on the right, caused the other team lots of problems. Or am i imagining things?
Except it's far from being a joke. A few years ago, one of my young Filipino nephews was groomed by a paedo out there, and it went on for quite a few months until I was out there visiting, found out what was going on, found the perpetrator, and - errmmm - had a few words with him. But my young nephew is still psychologically scarred from that experience. So maybe you can see that you hit a raw nerve with me.mendipblue wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 3:18 pmOf course it was supposed to be a joke....oh my, there is a distinct lack of humour on here.

I understand your point, but I was making a joke not having a go at you personally. Hope you understand my point.rossi wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 8:26 amExcept it's far from being a joke.

Yep, I think so. You think it's funny to make a joke concerning paedophiles, I don't. End of conversation I think.mendipblue wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 4:32 pmI understand your point, but I was making a joke not having a go at you personally.

Thompson, no need for question mark the answer is crap. Nolan no longer here, the rest get rid and get them off the wage bill.shabba wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 8:06 pmJust to bring this back on track:
If salarysport.com is believed to be accurate then next season we might have some good cash to spend on wages for new players:
- Celina 20k (sounds high but I would assume we are either paying part of this OR full amount and no loan fee)
- Piggott 8k (if he can be offloaded/loaned)
- Norwood 8k
- Bonne 8k
- Carroll 5k
- Nolan 4k
- Holy 4k
- Thompson ?
So that's upto 50k+ per week! I suspect the squad may be a little lighter in numbers for next season compared to start of this one, maybe just below what it is now.
well, it's pretty obvious that you can't spell
Note to self leave spell check ON!!
