Is Pukki going to get back into this team?

[TeemuVanBasten 3,327]

Still looks a class operator at this level and second time he's come on and made a difference.

But just how on earth is he going to shift Sargent? 

I just can't see it happening, Sargent has 'arrived'.

Does Pukki just have to accept that he's a squad player now, do we go 2 up top, or does he end up playing in a different position on the pitch?

This XI is clearly going to evolve as the season progresses, with Hayden, Sara, possibly Cantwell coming into it, and left backs coming back from injury etc. 

But can anybody actually see Sargent losing his place now that he's reached this level? The geezer is a machine.

[KeiranShikari 1,410]

Should play over Hernandez next game.

I don't think we have the midfield players now to suit Pukki now. Perfect example Nunez had a great chance to slip a through ball to Pukki in the 2nd half but instead chose to shoot himself.

[Worthy Nigelton 1,043]

He will be back in and Sargent out wide by the end of September is my prediction. He's still a better player than Sargent despite Sargent's form and that means eventually he'll oust him from the striker spot.

[Ken Hairy 3,771]

I'd play Pukki as a 10 in behind Sargent,  with the players switching positions during the match and drop Dowell. 

[Deptford Yellow 258]

Pukki originally signed to play behind the striker … could be time to give that another go now…

[Robert N. LiM 4,329]

I was really pleased to see that Sargent scored from the centre-forward position while he was technically playing on the right. 

Obviously he looks much better playing up front, but if he is going to be pushed out right to accommodate Pukki's return, then he needs to get into those kind of positions when we attack down the left.

I like this a lot as an idea, but I'm not sure how we then set up the team behind them... 

[repman 635]

We looked so much better when Pukki came on and Sargent went out right. Sargent isn't effective when we try and build down the right, but put him in the box like today and he can be a threat.

Agree with this. Thought Pukki looked a class apart when he came in today.

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

Yes he should play at Brum.

Krul

Aarons AO Hanley Byram

Todd Nunez McLean Hernandez

Teemu

Sarge

Might be one for when we have a proper DM perhaps

Is this all a part of getting Pukki to sign for your beloved Ipswich?

Pukki will be in his 50s by then

Yes - we sure could of done with one Isaac Hayden today …

[jaberry2 550]

I'd personally want to see Krul dropped and Gunn starting. The latter is far more assured and calming on the ball. I want to see (injuries permitting) Kenny dropped and replaced with Sara. It will be interesting to see whether Sara/Nunez combination will work or not. Nunez made some poor decisions today, especially not playing through Pukki.

Yes the sooner we have Isaac back screening we will be a far better outfit.

I won’t consider myself fully piffled until I’m supporting Ipswich like you clearly do. 👍 

[Newtopia 517]

I would swap him for Onel

Yes I imagine Sargeant will be shifted over to the right again now that he has his confidence back and Pukki will start up front.
