I can only come up with 17 pts, I dont think we will shame ourselves, but with a better defence I think we will draw quite a few more, the issue we face in my opinion is we do not have the firepower to out score many of the opposition.

Who out of the current squad (Not loans)do you think would leave or be sold if we were relegated? For me it would be:

Bart
Knudson
Chambers
Ward
Dozzell
Huws
Adeyemi
Sears.

[derick_ipsw]

Right guys and gals it's time to name who you want to keep and let go. I think we need a proper clear out and it's time for youth. Players I would shift and reason.

Chambers not good enough and to much power
Ward not good enough and injury
Bart wages to high.
Adeyemi injuries
Sears injury
Huws if pre season not fit must go.
Knudsen he wants to leave get rid.
Skuse I can't decide.

I would keep all our youngsters and start again.

[marko69]

Chambers , too much power? What does that mean, Derick? Him and PL get on great do they not? Isn’t that a good thing moving forward?

[ashfordblue]

Marco I think he means on and off the field, too much power, but in all honesty I think his time with us is up, too slow and gets caught out by a pacey striker, and in Div.1 will be found wanting, sorry Chamebo your times up pal .

That's it in a nutshell ash.

[marko69]

Yeah, I knew that’s what you meant Derick, but I’m asking what you mean by having too much power off the field? I’m not disagreeing here...., I’m asking a genuine question. What does he do behind the scenes that suggests he has too much power at the club?

[derick_ipsw]

Over the years he has become un droppable whether he plays well or not. He did it with MM and he has done it with PL. This is because he has made "himself" in his own mind the go to guy. To me he needs bringing down a peg or too, and you only play on performances on the pitch. Will he be dropped for the WBA game for being responsible for the 2 Reading goals? No he will play, why? Because he holds to much sway at the club, this needs to be got rid of for the good of the Football club.

[marko69]

Opinion only, but with the state of affairs for YEARS, I think its good that there is someone with big enough balls to be the "go to guy". Respect to the guy for that.

I do however completely understand that, (with the extremely limited viewings) there "could" potentially be a borderline "liability" label attached to his game.

Could be superb management material though.

Sorry i just cannot agree he needs taking down a peg at all. If hes not good enough that's fine but to say he needs taking down a peg!! Really, why? You don't rate him, that's fine, that's your choice but hes not the reason why we are done for. If hes going to be the escape goat seriously needing to look at other players and reasons why we are in this mess. Too much power. Anybody would think hes member of the Mafia.

Every club as somebody like Chambers. Every club needs a guy like him. You say drop him. Other week Jonas head a ball straight to an opposition player yet still played following weekend and got himself sent off. Whether the Ref was right or not he did pull their player back and in doing so he gave the Ref a decision to make. All through this damn season players been making huge mistakes. All over the field. We had plenty of chances to score if the forwards actually slotted the ball home. Going to take them down a peg or two. Again if Chambers is no longer good enough FINE, but don't just drop him because hes the go to guy. Sounds like you really have something personal against Chambers Derek and sorry that is cheap unless you have met him.

[derick_ipsw]

Its certainly not personal Steve & Jo, I don't blame him for the clubs plight. My gripe is because he is the "captain" he plays. That is not correct, it should be form based. Barts been dropped, Gerkin has been dropped Knudson was dropped, Spence has been dropped but good old "captain" Chambo has not. Like I have said before, he is bullet proof. If he was dropped that might make him play better in the long run because maybe his ego would be hurt. He is probably a very nice bloke, my opinion is purely football performance based.

[derick_ipsw]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... -Town.html Yes please

[Bluemike]

Might be best for all concerned if he takes the opportunity, I love Chambo as a captain but all good things end some time.

[rossi]

Yes, and I hope he takes his mate Skuse with him

[Bluemike]

Do you not rate Skusey ?

[nicscreamer]

League one will not be a place for a team full of kids! We will defo need a skuse or Chambers type figure... maybe even both in my humble....

[Steve and Jo]

Totally true. I hope people don't think this is going to be a easy league to get out of. We are a team now full of League 1 and 2 players. Going to need experience as well as young up and coming players. Bishop is going to be kicked from pillar to post. Going to need experience around him, same in defence. I can't see Collins unfortunately playing much even if we offer him a contract. Any idea who our defence will be?

I do believe we got the right manager if given some lean way in transfers and it is good seeing the youngsters being given contracts.

[Charnwood]

One thing for sure, if we have a complete clear out in the close season and start again with a new bunch of players with no previous connection we will significantly reduce our chances of a quick bounce back to The Championship. The quick return will only happen if the bulk of the squad stick together and Paul Lambert builds on what he’s already started strengthening wherever possible.

In my opinion getting rid of our current squad and replacing them with our youngsters plus a few new players is exactly the same as getting rid of McCarthy and replacing him with Paul Hurst and a bunch of hungry players from the lower leagues, and we all know where that got us.

What we should be doing is identifying as many of the current squad as possible who we should keep and add to them accordingly, not the big clear out Derek is advocating which in my opinion will only lead to further misery and at worse League 2.

Only my opinion guys but we need to be cautious about what we wish for.

[marko69]

I think Lambert has already said in an interview a few months ago that no one shouid be clearing the decks and starting again....., his quote, “who does that?”....... little dig at previous management.

[Steve and Jo]

I totally agree with this line..."Only my opinion guys but we need to be cautious about what we wish for."

Somehow remember saying something very similar around a year ago.

I do agree with the needing to keep the better players and building a team around players wanting to be here and not hoping loan players be the answer

[marko69]

What’s really REALLY worrying is Ipswich dropping to League One...... and Luton (who were Vanarama conference two years ago) coming up to the championship. Not certain yet but they’re looking good for it. In three seasons, a national league side overtake a championship side.

this time next year your all be talking about how many more games until you win that league. A new start to a glorious future.
Enjoy the ride. but don't do a Wolves and go down again.

[marko69]

Rossi did say that he wouldn’t be surprised at a double relegation......, maybe some others wouldn’t be either.

For me, I’d be shocked. I’ve just posted on another thread talking about Luke Woolfenden scoring for Swindon v Colchester. I know he scored because I generally do check out all the goals when I’ve got time....... and so leads to why id be shocked. It’s not very good is it?! The Notts County v Port Vale 0-0 draw highlights are horrific. If Ipswich Town FC were in a relegation fight next season with possibilities of dropping to that standard....... Oh dear God.

well our big mistake was sacking Mick then dropping two leagues, at least the Town wouldn't do such a daft thing, oh hang on.

[marko69]

Na man..... seriously....... it’s s’no gonnae happen!

[goldandblack]

Na man..... seriously....... it’s s’no gonnae happen!

Of course it wont happen, I always remember the then owner saying we were to good for the championship and wont be in it for long. well he was spot on there

[marko69]

Imagine, the mighty Portman Road being host to Ipswich Town v Solihull.
