Ipswich player signs on loan

Birmingham possibly close to signing another striker on loan possibility Jones may stay with us

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

"You can never have too many strikers".

Ah yes ole Scotty boy, weren't we top Christmas time then fell away largely due to a million shoddy loan signings and our strikers not getting a settled run in side...

Not trying to churn up negativity about the here and now just that statement didn't sit well with me at the time. I'm sure Hursts got his reasons, JPP made of glass, Bogle injured/claims he's injured a lot/thrown his toys out pram... or whatever the case might be. Or it could be that Jones will be going back or this target man type only just come available.

We never know the absolute truth of Hursty's workings or what goes on.

I just hope we don't revert to the easy hoofball when we've made great progress conciously trying to play it the right way of late. It's a good option to have but not so good if overused; mix it up however and each differing attack method can wreak chaos as opposition don't know what to expect next.

Any further striker injuries / possible suspensions are now covered, and the strength player that Hurst was looking for has hopefully been found.

Devil if you do, devil if you don't - if no one had been brought in and we had a spate of injuries, then Hurst would be heavily cursed by his knockers for not preparing properly - don't forget these players still have to be paid for, so no signing will be lightly done !

Is this a direct possible solution to not many headed goals from numerous corners in many of the games played?? Someone said that he may be the direct sub for Monkhouse if he flags towards the end of a game.

Extra subs allowed in the cup competitions, so all eventualities could be considered, even a second goalie on the bench??

You can't blame Hurst for not wanting the most cover for most game situations !

I just hope that Jones stays - he looks hungry and has promise, even without a goal glut - he brings something up front to pen up defenses !

Lenny Mark 2? Tractor fans say he has been different class in their under 21's. See how he gets on in the tough action of The National League.

Agreed re Jones; he's not brought goals, yet, but he's slotted into our side brilliantly as the perfect foil to those around him  and helping our attacking play become sharp and incisive.

League and cup ( trophy ) double looks on now,

Whatever team Paul puts out in the trophy we will have a good chance of winning,

This must be the strongest squad we have had for years.

They have signed striker James Vaughn from Huddlesfield.

So lets hope Jones stays.

So people on here are happy for him to go straight into the first team to the detriment of the other lads,This man should be back up only playing in the tin pot cup, but no he will be straight in and not on his scoring record but on the basis he looks likes Hursts long gone love.

He may be a good signing and certainly gives PH another option up front. I just wish that the photo of Alibi in the GET didn't show him wearing one of " those shirts "  !!!!

Bit of a sweeping statement that Grim74. I'd like Jones and Amond to continue their partnership and then whoever looking the most dangerous to start after that. If they drawing blanks and Alabi comes on and grabs a brace I wouldn't begrudge him winning a starting berth.

So because he's an archetypal target man you've made him a hate figure and already conjuring up a stick to beat Hurst with before a ball has been kicked in anger?

I suggest waiting and seeing before firing mouth off but it appears you've already taken the shitlark position of judge, jury and executioner without (most likely) having ever seen him play.

Deary me.
