I read they have CCTV. If so it would be easy to compare that to analyst photo on our official website.

Getting back to the match I wonder if Tonda might pick a formation similar to the one that played so well at Coventry. Larin was up front on his own and we loaded the midfield to provide him with support and to stop Coventry playing through us. It was a superb performance and Boro will look to play as opposed to setting up defensively.

He'd certainly make a good squad player who will do a job when needed or off the bench. As a first choice starter I think we need better and obviously would have to see who is available that we can afford.

Could be wrong but I think we'll be far better equipped to make a go of the Premier League under Tonda than Russboy who, as we all know, had only one way of playing which left us badly exposed when constantly trying to play out from the back.

He's not.

He does tend to go down too easily and refs will be well aware of this. On the plus side he is difficult to stop and opponents always double up on him which creates space for his team mates. Leo has had a very good first season for us.

We missed Downes as well. He is the key to our midfield alongside Jander - Ipswich had far too much midfield control last night.

The ball he played to Manning in the lead up to Larin's goal was sublime.

Bragg is very good at closing down opponents passing lanes - without him Ipswich played through us far too easily at times.

Thought Peretz could maybe have done better with their first goal but the save he made from Clarke near the end was just stunning.

He took the goal superbly. Didn't panic and knew exactly what he wanted to do.

Think we win that with Downes on the pitch.

Yeah, we needed 11 men in the trenches tonight but he went AWOL.

Well I'm sure they didn't run as much as we did not to mention the mental fatigue.

Not sure why Tonda didn't bring Bragg on at 60 minutes unless he is suffering a knock. We virtually played with 10 men because Charles did absolutely nothing - he didn't tackle, intercept or get up and back. Felt sorry for Jander who did the work of two men. Very shabby from Charles tonight.

Think a draw was the right result.

Charles has scored some great goals but not sure how he stays on the pitch for the whole game tonight. Great goal by Larin. We looked shattered but not surprisingly. Now win the play-offs.

Leo gave it away yet again.

I don't doubt that but he must stop diving because it fools nobody.

They're still on 🙂

Yeah, Leo has to stop all this diving because he's now got a reputation for it. Go over if you're hit hard otherwise stay on your feet.

He's doing everything on his own because Charles is not putting a shift in.

Poor first half. We're losing the midfield and that's down to Charles who is strolling around instead of digging in and helping out - he's leaving Jander to toil away on his own. Need to step up big time in the second half because we haven't got going so far.

I think he always looks better in backs to the wall games. In matches when we are on top and play a fair bit from the back he is less assured because he's not so confident on the ball. When he's asked to tackle, block and head he's in his element.

Watched pitchside unseen footage and, in one sequence Wood makes a sliding tackle and two blocks inside the penalty area within what must have been about 9-10 seconds. Amazing stuff.
