Possibly so. The key for the club is to at least get him tied to his first pro deal so that in the event he then moves we can at least claim a higher level of compensation. If he were to move now its a pittance really for someone who is clearly one of the best players in the country for his age. Tough issue because so few actually make it to the first team, e.g the best of the academy prospects, yet as we have seen with Dibling (initially), Morg and Doyle its so hard to keep your best talents to the point where they actually have any impact at 1st team level. In a way the model is broken and really it is just a cash cow rather than an actual tool to bring players into the first team.

Interesting bit in this article about SAA and Meghoma basically being on Championship first teamer wages. For all the talk of pathways, cash is still king!

No Adams would be a huge miss, especially against a physical side like WBA. No chance Stewart will be starting a game soon so would either be Arma or Mara up top which is a big drop off. RM does have a habit of downplaying injuries and it did seem like CA was genuinely injured rather than coming off as a precaution.

He hasnt been used like that regularly since autumn 2023 really so imagine its highly unlikely.

Significant tactical tweak today and excellent overall performance. McCarthy disnt have to do much and Leeds couldnt handle our incisive passing at times. Will be interesting to see if we use the back 5 vs WBA who we have already beaten twice and who are happy to concede possession. A nice change up to have.

Goals since Moore joined Ipswich: Moore: 7 Che Adams: 9 We didnt need Kieffer Moore.

I'm also in the camp that if we had actually taken more of the huge amount of good chances we create then we could have overcome our goals against tally - especially considering that we have conceded heavily in a few games which skews it a little. Of the frustrating games we have lost or drawn e.g at home to Rotherham, Millwall, Middlesbrough and away to Hudds, Watford, Norwich, Ipswich, Cardiff we should certainly have scored more to put these games to bed. These ones hurt more than the ones we have been well beaten in because we easily did enough to win all 8 of these quite comfortably and yet didnt.

Irony being that, including the OP and many others on here, most of the bigger Martin critics I know are actually older rather than younger.

Make your mind up lads. I thought it was essential to have a manager who is experienced and has won promotion from the Championship and/or managed at PL level? (Rohl definitely done well at Sheff Wed - playing style is similar to what we have totally moved away from though)

Very annoying. Looking v likely it will be Norwich for us, would miles prefer WBA.

Yeah losing Adams on a free and not getting promoted would be a less than ideal scenario as would cost to replace him, although I do think Stewart was signed with that in mind. Also considering we will need to replace the loan signings that are key players plus signing a first choice GK which probably wasnt planned before GB's injury. Big summer ahead, with no DoF in place and a rookie CEO.

He isnt a defensive coach.

Cedric available on a free this summer. Knows the club and has nice trainers.

After tonight he will be starting the remaining games of the season. Be interesting to see in what position.
