Oh. My. Word!

Or, just maybe, it's because he's statistically the worst keeper in the Champ. It's not personal at all.

We won't, because that's not in our make up. Last weekend at Blackburn we had an attacking FK in the last minute of stoppage time and we just passed it out wide and gave it away instead of launching it into the box.

He literally passed that into the net.

Oh FFS. Guess it's been coming. Just have to hold on now and not give away a late winner.

Ah, it's so we can push Stephens forward into his midfield maestro role.

He had to wait for some support to arrive, but then just cheaply gave it away again having done the hard work. Very poor from him.

I take your point, but the fact that we have scored from both of them today is against type for us, so I'm not too unhappy.

What a fucking stupid comment. He was having a good game and, in case you didn't notice, was involved in the build up and finished for our first goal. But yeah, let's wish he can't continue 🙄

I'd imagine it will be Rothwell if he can't continue.

Taking Brooks off I can understand, but I thought Aribo was having a good game so that one surprises me.

Some proper wet fannies on here, as always. Seems some people have unrealistic expectations. We're not going to have total dominance for 90 minutes in any game, and we have a busy fixture schedule this month so we can't play at full intensity all the time, so there will always be moments where it looks like we have taken our foot off the gas and invited the oppo back into it. Yes, they have pressed us and forced a few mistakes in our playing out from the back, but that was inevitable with the way they are set up. We still look the much better team going forward and are deserving of our lead.

Ipswich equalise

Ipswich 0-1 Boro

Wow! Amazing start. I loved the little exchange of passes between Smallbone and Brooks on the right in the build up to that. Beautiful, crisp passing. And for Smallbone to then get in the box and get on the end of the cross was outstanding.

Sadly that's very unlikely, on both sides.

Well it clearly did mess up the set up, because we effectively finished the game without a winger and no protection in front of Bree. And while I do think Mara has some good traits, physical strength is definitely not one of them.

Yeah, agreed. He was in good form before he got injured at Norwich on NYD. Quite why he's been completely frozen out again is beyond me.

Probably because of their tendency to actually try and run at defenders, which isn't good for the possession stats.

So, Russ... Care to explain why you decided to bring on Mara to play on the wing last night when you still had Edozie and Kamaldeen on the bench?

This is it. He showed a glimpse of finding a bit of form during our decent run, and I dared to believe he might finally 'come good'. But the apathy he showed last night is just unforgivable. Edit: Thinking about it, maybe he was trying to prove a point to RM that he's not a winger, but there are better ways to do that. And quite why Russ decided to bring him on to play on the wing when we had Edozie and Sulemana on the bench, I will never understand.

I think he looks worse when playing alongside Stephens instead of Bednarek. It's a weird one with Stephens. I can't point to anything in particular that he does wrong, but our defence just looks so much better when he isn't in it.

I really, really wish you hadn't posted this 😖

If he had shinned that in, it would cap off genuinely the shitest hattrick ever.
