00:00 Where has Broadhead kind of been playing?
00:01 Because at Sunderland, we saw him playing off the wing at some stages.
00:05 Sometimes he led the line.
00:07 He obviously looked like a good signing when he came into Ipswich,
00:09 because he had that proven record in League One with Sunderland.
00:12 But he obviously looks like he's been a very good signing for Ipswich,
00:14 looking at his goalscoring record last season.
00:17 But where has he kind of fitted in to the side?
00:20 Yeah, he's mainly played...
00:23 Our formation is very weird.
00:25 It changes all the time, but it's more of a left-sided,
00:28 inside-forward, if you know what I mean.
00:30 So he can be, of course, on the wing, but sometimes inside-forward.
00:34 Actually, in the preseason game against Stevenage,
00:36 he actually played up front.
00:38 He was leading the line, which he did OK in,
00:41 but it wasn't a great game, I have to admit.
00:44 It was not good at all.
00:45 It was raining. We lost the game.
00:48 It wasn't great, but he has been just a fantastic signing, my friend.
00:52 He's just...
00:53 He's one of my favourite players to watch because he can score goals,
00:56 he creates things.
00:57 He's got a very good free kick in the last stages of League One last year.
01:02 But he's going to be, hopefully, a player that can really step up to the championship
01:05 because, of course, he was on loan last year with Wigan before he came to us.
01:09 Yeah.
01:09 We're sort of in and out of their squad,
01:12 but a player that is just going to hopefully score us some goals.
01:15 But yeah, left-sided, inside-forward, if you can call it that.
01:20 But he's definitely a player that will be attacking for us.
01:24 He's certainly a very important player for Sunderland
01:26 and scored some crucial goals to get them promoted from League One.
01:30 But it looks like he's joined the Nips, which are very attacking.
01:34 Looking at their goals scored last season, 101 goals in League One last season.
01:39 So they went for games and it looks like, as you said,
01:41 they've been playing a 4-2-3-1 system.
01:44 So how do you think they will approach the game at the Stadium of Light,
01:47 coming to Sunderland on the first game of the season?
01:50 Some sides we've seen in the past have come to the Stadium of Light
01:53 and sat back and kind of tried to hit Sunderland on the counter-attack.
01:56 It doesn't look like or didn't sound like Ipswich will do that.
02:00 Yeah, I think they'll play without fear.
02:02 I think they'll just go for it.
02:03 I think, you know, maybe there'll be moments in the games where they'll be thinking,
02:06 OK, let's not go too crazy here because they're going to need to find out
02:10 what Sunderland's all about.
02:11 I know McKenna and Co, like all teams, all managers these days,
02:14 they do all the research they can on clubs.
02:16 But I think they will because, yeah,
