Quite the squad they are building. Jones had better deliver. They look nailed on for promotion with Gassan, Berry, Godden etc

Well that's frustrating too.
We've just appointed a new 19-21 pathways manager haven't we? Maybe there's something to be read into that 🤷🏻♂️

Pathways manager was Jack Cassidy who's now coaching in Belgium (or maybe Denmark?)
New guy is Callum Martin who was at Fulham.

We made the FA Youth Cup Quarter Finals, a pretty significant achievment, so it’s no surprise our players were on the radar of other clubs.
We then neglected to give some of those players opportunities despite our first team consistently struggling in terms of performances & not just results.
If you are still waiting for chances a year on & players are being signed in your position then it’s no massive surprise to see them moving on.
I’m not saying we should have put them in, just offering a different perspective.

Gassan signs for Charlton.. Over priced though he isn't worth that amount but I suppose Charlton are desperate to spend and Ipswich are happy to make a good profit.

Nobody really knows what the fee is ,we will miss him our new man from Blackpool is a Rooney type striker so totally different from adhadme very worrying if we don’t sign a lump up top as we don’t have the players in the current squad to play without this type of striker ,as we proved on numerous occasions when he was injured .

We'll need another two strikers, unless we want to risk a repeat of last season.

Annoyed at this - clearly highly rated by a club higher up the football pyramid. There is a gap between 18 - 23 and no Under 21s.

Out of interest how many clubs our size have a full U21 set up. An U23s sounds unrealistic but interested to know what the usual is?

Fleetwood, Crewe, Colchester and Pish all have sides in the Professional Development League which is the second tier of u21 football (also where Coventry's u21s play). Other clubs seem to have u21 set ups but not in any leagues I could find. I think that having that guarantee for our younger players that they'll get game time is certainly something we need to be looking to get to give another option rather than sending them on loan or having them around the first team but not playing them.

Players should be playing first team football as soon as possible, whether professionally or in non-league (maybe not a GK).
I don’t think creating another team is the answer, especially for a club our size.
