Big, gangly athlete. He'll be fine. Thought the other lad looked more useful there, mainly cos he's absolutely rapid.

Desperately in need of a set piece taker. Especially when every fucker we've brought in is 6'+.

The + channels are always "who can we pull off the home team's bench to commentate".

The black hole at RW showed up big time there. Hedges was absolutely fucking awful. Need a new starter there before the next league game. Two new RBs and new CB didn't look out of place. DeNeve out in some nice crosses and Henriksson has trained once with us so I refuse to judge him yet. Wish Kargbo could last 90 mins - like Gueye he just makes things happen when he's on the pitch.

Just resorted to rugby tackling him whenever he gets the ball.

Ref has decided this game. Didn't do his job for their goal and didn't give us a stonewall pen. Been v even otherwise.

He's trained once with the team, but yeah let's write him off.

Quick enough to make up for mistakes ala Walker too.

Pears dick riders unite. He doesn't make that save.

Normal service resumed - our RB thrown to the ground for their goal, nothing given. Ohashi tripped in their box by their CB, nothing given. Never change, Championship, never change.

Inswinger looks alright. Outswinger was not very good.

That he saved?

Lots of talk for Toth to be fired into the sun. Bar one bad chipped pass what has he done wrong?

That's Ohashi for you - nothing sticks to him.

Cos he hasn't been booked yet?

Nice foul for their goal.

Which channel?

I mean we'll know by the time October hits, but by the highlights I think he'll be a goal threat.

He's at the ground: I'm sure Ismael has a plan for his inclusion in the team.

M-Matthews on the bench is the stuff of nightmares.

Ipswich made a mistake last year and bought a really good Championship team rather than PL players. They'll be there for the taking some weeks as although they're very good and have depth, they're still Championship players and prone to the same mistakes as the rest in this division.

On a related note, now that Wednesday's embargo has been lifted I actually think they could be a dark horse. They've lined up two United youngster on loan. I wouldn't be surprised if a whole load of PL Academies dump their players there for a year to get Championship experience. You know they're going to get a lot of football.

Only in the same way that Carter can play RB. He's not first choice at it, but over the grind of the season it's nice to have that flexibility in your squad. If Alebiosu can't start a few games then he's not worth his wages.

Until the next wave of Academy graduates are blooded that's how it'll stay - English players are expensive and they don't seem to want to take punts on players like O'Riordan (who might yet still develop into an excellent Championship player) from the lower leagues.

The team that many thought was taking us down last year? It's a roll of the dice each season with these owners / the clowns they put in charge. Who the hell knows how good the players they've brought in are. Who knows whether Weimann and Batth will fall off a cliff this season. If those players listed leave they have to be replaced - if they leave and aren't then we're in serious trouble.
