Will Ipswich stay in the Premier League?
[BBC] We asked you to send in your questions for BBC Radio Suffolk sports editor Graeme McLoughlin to answer. In the first part of a special Q&A, he addresses Ipswich's survival hopes as well as good and bad points from the season so far. Cameron asked: Will Ipswich stay in the Premier League this season? Also, what are your opinions on summer transfer business? Graeme: Obviously I can't say for certain that Town will stay up, but I am confident they will. They have given themselves a good platform already, having taken double the amount of points from their opening five games compared with their previous Premier League campaign. I was impressed with the club's summer transfer window. There is far more top-flight experience in the squad now, along with some players who can turn matches in the blink of an eye, and some real prospects for the future. Manager Gary O'Neil - along with club's senior leadership team - deserve credit for how well the new faces appear to have settled in. Julian asked: What are your biggest positives and negatives from the first part of the season? For me, it's great to have six points on the board already, but I still have concerns over the goalkeeping position. Graeme: Julio Enciso has been a real positive, particularly his performance during the opening day win against Sunderland . While he caught the eye during his previous loan spell at the club, he looks a far better player now less than two years later. I've also been really impressed by Emersonn. I hadn't been expecting a huge amount from the young Brazilian striker during his first few weeks in English football, but he has looked the part and should only get better. A mention for Leif Davis as well, whose start to the campaign has been mightily impressive when compared with his debut Premier League season. He should be on four goals already from a full-back position. The negative has undoubtedly been the goals conceded and a difficult start to life in goal for Kjell Scherpen, which Gary O'Neil has been quick to address. Come back to this page for part two of Monday's Q&A, which will focus on Ipswich's defence and whether they will strengthen in the January transfer window.
