    Here's something to give you the shudders. Imagine if O'Donnell got injured...

    Not me. Told you all O'Connor is a liability and our defence is awful.

    It’s definitely one goal from being a calamity.

    Seriously @Fordy117@Fordy117 the amount to stick you give the team since the start of the season you were forced to get it right eventually.

    It definitely said Rhodes, because my immediate thought was blimey, and then realised ‘he’ was at neighbours Norwich, not Ipswich.

    Parker says Hopkin wants 3 signings this week. Let's hope they happen and that they have proven quality, we cant afford anymore dross.

    Let's be honest with ourselves. We probably won't be signing anyone, and if we do they'll be shit. With no funds our best hope is finding a hidden gem on a free who's miraculously gone undiscovered, and we're really not fortunate enough for that to happen to us.

    That's probably not the only reason.

    But if it were financially viable, I'd love to see some kind of competition between European second, third and fourth tier sides.

    I imagine English teams would win 9 times out of 10.

    NKP is older, out of contract in the summer and been shite for a year.

    First to go for me. If Rochdale want him we should be biting their hands off.

    Yes get in a better defender - I would be happy with that.

    You're not wrong. But O'Connor on the left of the CBs is even worse.

    Where’s talk of Rochdale interest come from?

    He’s been shite since he signed that new contract but has outlasted Kilgallon somehow

    Was the other week. Folk saying we should tell them no as we kept a few clean sheets.

    7 goals later and silence...

    It's not just about the back 4.

    We kept clean sheets because we didn't have to do as much defending around our own box as a result of:

    Pressing high up the pitch, which disrupted the opposition being able to play up to our box and allowed us to move up the pitch as a team, and
    Playing a passing game which prevented a constant turnover of possession.

    We've stopped doing the things which worked so well. Which isolates our shaky defence.

    We're easy to work out. We have no width so the opposition just need to defend the 20 square yard box in front of their area. Our left back is weak, so you target that area. And pur central midfield lacks balance so if you put 3 in there against us, we can't cope.

    This is a picture from half time taken from the same twitter feed. Looks more like a Sunday league game.
