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

[Chappy112]

What‘s puzzling is we have so many players whom it seems for innocuous reasons have injuries keeping them out for weeks on end.

Is it time for "somethings not right at the club"?

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

He was beyond poor - embarrassingly so

 

[gravy173]

The full backs and latte lath were tye only positives today, the midfield 5 were awful, zero movement until we went 2-0 down

The phone in

what do these people expect who get in touch

TBH I didn't think Ipswich were all that either, I think both teams cancelled each other out.
They had 1 shot deflected in, Engel's cross/shot took a double deflection straight into the keeper.
Their 2nd not sure what Diang was doing by giving him the entire nearside of the goal to shoot at.
Fine margins.

WTF are you on a bout it’s not like we’ve seen players clattered or pull up in full stride, none of them seem to miss a game or two.

How's Gibson's pub at his house coming along? Heard it said that some additional costs on that project was the main reason we kept Coburn and didn't sign a few strikers.

Some of the over reactions on here ffs

 

[lostinyorkshire]

Also Rogers looks like he’s going to be a fantastic signing, just needs to continue getting experience and improving, he looks like he’s got something special

i agree with this. Obviously there is a lot of impatience around but i think he has everything to be a gaston ramirez type

OK. Interesting that you pick Lath as opposed to crooks, or Barlaser, or indeed just about any of the 3 behind him.

I suspect you just want to get on the lads back and are allowing that bias to effect what you watched.

 

[allied_assault]

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

And Hackney and Mcgree et al

I would agree that at least 4 of the "midfield 5" were poorer than Lath. I thought Howson did OK though.

Clarke looks very very rusty and shouldn't be playing yet.

Engel is what he is.

It was a very scratch team and it looked that way

Some of the comments on here, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if you thought that was poor you haven’t been watching the Boro long. That was far from poor….indeed we’ve played worse this season….I give you QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn off the top of my head!

Just because we've played worse, doesn't mean it wasn't poor.

It was poor, but it was expected with the amount of players that were out

I disagree it was poor, we conceded two poor goals and Lathe had two good chances on another day we get a draw, but that’s just my opinion. I’m more annoyed at scoring seven goals away from home in the last three games and getting one point!

Thought Clarke was our best player. Comfortable at the back and that block in the second half was superb.

He played a few sloppy 5-10 yard passes around our own area that he was lucky went unpunished. Defended OK. Was blowing out of his ar$e after 60 mins. Fry was left 2 on 1 twice and defended well while Clarke was struggling to get back in.

All understandable. He's been out a long time.

 

[BoroBourneNBred]

Think we are just waiting for January

Think we are just waiting for January

If we're still in the mix then, as we are now we've every chance of a successful season.
Keep the faith, it's a rollercoaster but we're going to be fine.

What Coburn do wrong should be on with Lath playing off him

Coburn is carrying a hernia and am not sure he should even be on the bench to be honest, he didn't look like he was moving well, last week against Leeds either.
