With the change to a back 3 at the end against Boro, signing Ogbene who can play RWB and the fact we now have loads of CBs perhaps there will be a change in formation?

Cooper
Tanganga Mee Godfrey
Ogbene Peck Soumare Burrows
Hamer COH
Campbell

Davies, McG, Bindon, McCallum, Seriki, Matos, Barry, Chong, Ings

Or

Cooper
Godfrey Tanganga Mee Burrows
Peck Soumare
Ogbene. COH. Hamer
Campbell

Coops
Godfrey, Tanganga, Mee, Burrows
Matos, Peck, Soumare
Ogbene, Campbell, Hamer.

Make us a bit more solid and harder to beat at first.

Love your XI Graphman

Rock solid Back 3, protected by a hard DM

Wide WB’s going down the outside on their strong side - none of this inverted crap.

Gus & Cal weaving complex magic and feeding 2 genuine strikers.

Hard to break down but also hard to stop - the perfect set up.

UTB & FTP!

I think a fair few of our recent signings are to add strength in depth, decent options for the bench rather than with a view to being clear starters. That was much needed as our bench has been very low quality so far this season. Tanganga, Mee and Godfrey are the ones I expect to be regular starters amongst the most recent recruits.

------------Cooper
Godfrey Tanganga Mee Burrows
------- Peck ---Soumaré
Brooks---- O'Hare---Hamer
----------Campbell

Selles teamtalk should simply be "just do whatever Wilder said back in the good ol' days before he got obsessed with Brewster and (checks he's not listening) Cannon"
Chong, Ogbene, Barry and Ings all on the bench if this attack doesn't deliver. Matos can get a look in if Soumaré turns out to be bobbins.
If Chong or Barry ever put in a decent shift from the bench, could look to bring Hamer more central, until then I'm "better the devil you know" and prefer Hamer out there where he performed fantastically last season.

Ogbene has been out for 7 months with an achilles injury, is he really just going to waltz in this team ahead of Brooks? If he's capable of that I'll be thrilled but certainly not expecting much from him, if he was much use Ipswich would've kept him surely?

Bit of an odd 'elbow' formation. When we're defending becomes an orthodox for with Burrows dropping in to let back and Godfrey to right back. When we're attacking Burrows to push on and Godfrey to move across to forum a back three.

There are loads of options now. Obvious back ups to most. A second eleven should be competitive at this level (except maybe Adam Davies)...

Davies
Seriki-McGuiness-Bindon-McCallum
Barry-Blaster-Chong-Peck-Ukaki
Ings

And that's leaving out a third XI I would think would be OK for league one (including Davis who should be challenging for first team if he's ever fit).

Faxon
Curtis, Nils, Sausenakus, Polendakov
Davies, Marsh, Shackleton, Nwachukwi
Canon, and One.

We've signed 14 players (majority are decent) and you start 4?! We need better than last season's players.

He's had a full pre season and played in Ipswich's first few games.
