Should Ipswich change their midfield structure?
- Published
We asked for your views on how you would like to see Ipswich's midfield line up after former defender Mick Mills gave his view on BBC Radio Suffolk (Monday, 08:41) about switching to a three-man midfield in order to become more robust.
Here are some of your comments:
Dave: Totally agree with Mick.
Slowerball: Mick Mills very rarely gets it wrong and he is spot on once again. Most of us, especially fans of a certain vintage who recall Mick as a super player and captain, recognised well before the start of the season that the Premier League was and is a different proposition. McKenna and the club have done a great job, but it's back to the Championship next year.
James: We are weak and naive to think we can play the same way as we did in League One and the Championship. We get punished for silly mistakes so we need to go back to basics and stop trying to be a better team than we are. McKenna needs to change things up. Hutchinson is not a number 10. We’ve got Sammie Szmodics sitting on the bench who is a proven goal scorer.
John: I’m with Mick. It's all very well talking about front foot football, being brave etc, but we’re struggling to do that at the levels required due to the much better quality of opposition in the Premier League. OK, go for it at home, where we have been more competitive, but we should be more cautious in away games. Keep it tight and play on the counter.
Andy: I’m certainly not going to disagree with MM, but I’d add two things: (1) we look better when we are closer to last year’s team with Omari Hutchinson on the right, Cameron Burgess and Luke Wolfenden at the back; (2) January additions have made the difference in the last two seasons.
Shaun: Totally agree with MM - we need more legs and athleticism in the middle of the park. I would play Jack Taylor in there as he can also get forward.
