    Hoping for a couple more permanent signings
    Hopefully of the same quality and desire of young Kenneth.

    Would be nice. Hopefully a winger. if DS intends to play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, as he seems to have so far, then at least 1 more winger is crucial. Hopefully better than we have already to give us a real boost. Izzy, Hedges Andy Thiam should be good in L1, but we haven’t seen any of them fit, or consistently on form, for any length of time.

    Still waiting for the Bradshaw bombshell too, so I hope we have a replacement ready for him (as well as another to push the front two)

    Yes if Bradshaw goes I hope we have a couple of exciting replacements lined up. Would probably be better short term if Bradshaw stayed, but if we do get a sensible offer for him then so be it.

    I hope he stays, but only if his head is in the right place and he is up for the fight.
    We should have the third striker lined up anyway though, to push the current 2, with another in the wings should he disappear.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Bradshaw has reached his zenith, certainly with us at least. He certainly tried on Saturday, but i'm not sure he had many touches at all, let alone attempts at goal, which for a "poacher" who's wider skills aren't as obvious is a concern.

    What we do need is pace and movement. That kills defenders in league 1. Winnall wasn't the fastest but his movement, and what speed he did possess caused all sorts of problems. If that means sacrificing Bradshaw and we can get a like for like replacement for the same sort of money that does have pace, I think that's good business. Pace in the front areas would also pose a threat for teams trying to play a high line

    If other clubs rated Bradshaw highly, the bids would have risen when we said he wasn't for sale a few weeks ago. Instead, it seems interest has cooled.

    Acc to the Mirroe, Ipswich are now looking at Bradshaw - I don't never stand that he is happy with the new setup & wants to stay but we will see.

    We have hopefully got plans which are being executed in the background away from the media.
    this will then avoid any panic buying.
    Fingers crossed GG is on it :)
