* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Ipswich Match - Day Thread *

[Stocko]

Come on Boro, let’s have a shot on target!!!

I think it's plain to see how the injuries and suspensions are affecting us. Missing Jones massively today.

Absolutely. Although I don't think it's unfair to demand more from the likes of Greenwood, Rogers and Barlaser than we've seen so far.

 

[Priv]

Wouldn’t mind seeing Lathe play out wide and Coburn up top if we are still one down with about 20 left. Getting anything today will be an achievement imho given our missing players and their form.

I’d like to see him play alongside Coburn, for the second half bring Barlaser off and drop crooks deeper.

Won’t happen though.

 

[Smogonsea]

We are seeing our lack of quality. Crooks having a rare off game. No width without Jones. We really need McGree back.

 

[Laughing]

Coburn brings more to the table than Lath - the ball is just coming straight back at us every time Lath gets it

You may be watching a different game. He has been our only threat today, in what is a poor all round performance.

My most important question today though - why aren’t Ipswich nicknamed “the Horses”?

 

[Scrug]

I’d have taken a point before the game today. Still in it here at least. Come on boro!

 

[lostinyorkshire]

matter of time we concede again, nothing going forward and we have a leaky defence.

We need a shake up sleep walking to defeat

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Not playing well and not helping ourselves here. I'll take 2-2 now

I’d have taken a point before the game today. Still in it here at least. Come on boro!

Well I said I'd have taken 3 points from Preston, Leeds and Ipswich so anything today is a bonus

Disclaimer: I didn't realise how poor Preston were going to be when I made that statement

 

[futureboy]

What on earth is wrong with Crooks today? His passing has been absolutely atrocious.

 

[Blindschool]

Have you ever played in goal? I did, for close on 40 years, man and boy. Even the slightest deflection can wrongfoot a keeper. As far as I'm concerned, there was nothing Dieng could do about that.

I don't think an hour of five a side with your mates counts.

 

[Priv]

Crooks ffs, his passing has been dreadful, and that was a stupid foul and card

 

[ThePrisoner]

Crooks dreadful pass AGAIN. All too short.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Crooksy is having a proper off day.

 

[B_G]

What on earth is wrong with Crooks today? His passing has been absolutely atrocious.

Crooks has been poor and you do get days like this with Crooks but at least he looks committed, keeps showing for the ball and is constantly closing down. More than you can say for a couple of the others

 

[Billywoofslovechild]

Crooks suspended now.

 

[B_G]

Crooks suspended now.

Yellow card deadline extended after last week.

 

[Jonathan]

Awful this

 

[Defender 4x4]

Need Coburn on ASAP
