We asked for your views on Ben Godfrey, who has joined Ipswich on loan until the end of the season.

Former Town defender Mick Mills said earlier [11:28] that he did not think the signing "rectified" the problems Kieran McKenna's side faced.

Here are some of your comments:

Richard: We do need defenders who are Premier League quality. Too many times we have lost points from winning positions due to defensive errors, not because of bad play but just that lack of Premier League experience. Shore the defence up and we can look forward hopefully to another season in the top flight.

John: I think we did Mick. AxelTuanzebe is out injured and then with recovery, rehabilitation and match fitness, who knows? Harry Clarke is not up to Premier League standard, which only leaves Ben Johnson as Dara O'Shea is needed in the three.

Andrew: He has England caps and should bring quality to the team - he also covers the right side with his versatility. He faces a fight to get into the team with the last three defensive performances though! We still need a striker and a right forward.

James: It's about improving the squad. This guy has played at the top level and is proven. He will add depth to our squad - he can play centre-back, full-back and in midfield.
