Last week you said it was good that Middlesbrough beat derby

Still feel that way? Genuinely curious

@SkyBlueDom26 ?

Based on our record there, and Ipswich's squad, I always thought this was going to be the toughest game of the season. They should have lost at least one player (Hirst or GK), but once they stole the lead they managed it well. KKH I thought showed some promise at times, despite his missed chance and error for the 1st goal.
Kitching was all over the place, and Rudoni is clearly only 60-70% fit.
We missed Sakamoto and BTA massively today.
I thought Haji looked lively when he came on, as did Allen & Andrews.
King must back Frank next month for at least 2 signings,
That or we're recalling Obikwu and Rodrigues.
Frustrating day.
We were under par, but not awful.
Ipswich were sh*te for 40 mins, but got a lucky break. Even though 2nd half was disappointing we still had chances. The Rudoni and EMC shots.

Just one of those days lads. What better motivation than to go to Preston and win.

The Brau situation is weird. He was getting minutes earlier in the season, albeit sporadically. Now he's not even trusted to come on when we're chasing a game and Dasilva could probably do with a rest.

Heard he's going back to Spain. He's obviously not up the standard we require

was Hoping we’d get something today but as soon as the team sheet went up got the same feeling as the Wrexham game, we can’t afford to be missing players like Asante, torp and saka at the same time, and Rudoni and haji not fit, one of those maybe, we‘ll be getting some help in January 100% youv‘e only got to look at the bench the last 2 games, just need to get through january still top and we’ll be fine

Heres a thought that you would never have believed in the summer. We probably only need 10 more wins for play offs. Incredible

Not going up this year would be a failure.

Taking away all the Referee incidents etc and unfortunately we didn’t really do ourselves justice today. First half was ok but as soon as they scored it gave them the impetus just before the break. Nothing really dropped for us second half and every second ball fell to an Ipswich player. At 2-0 down they were bringing on Jack Clarke and we were looking at Kai Andrews to change things as well as having 2 keepers on the bench aswell 🫤
Nice for the majority to stay behind and acknowledge the great strides of the team and management so far this season.
I’m expecting us to put it right on Tuesday night against Preston as we did after the Wrexham set back previously.

As in not finishing top 2? Not sure about that being failure. I wanted us to make play offs but more comfortably than the last 2 years. That is improvement and I think that will happen. In fact I have this weird feeling we are going to go up via play offs. So many match winners in the side for a knock out scenario

It would be a huge failure

Massive.

Squad depth killed us today.

Glad Foxy is back on comms on Tuesday. Oggy is too much of a Colin Robinson.

From here it absolutely would be.

Not weird really, Lampard obviously doesn't rate him after seeing him in training and the minutes he's had on the pitch.

Squad depth killed us today.

It answered definitively that KKH is not a winger. He’s a good player but not a wide player you need when chasing a game from 1-0 down.

4/5 of our top goal scorers were out of the starting 11, it’s going to be a tough game for any team in those circumstances.

I think it was about 31 goals missing was it? Undoubtedly more goal involvements

I had to look that one up. You do Oggy a great disservice. Fox is hopeless.

Ipswich could deal with those kind of numbers missing, they will prob spend again in January. I think Frank knows that was a real hammer blow was today.

We have a chance to even the score at our place in a few week but the pressure will all be on us, if we come through it we’re ready

I wouldn’t call it a hammer blow, we’re 12 points clear of them and based on today should beat them at home.

He wasn't bought in as a winger, the only reason people were even asking the question is because of the poor squad depth to begin with.

Could look silly on the 29th but I’ve absolutely no worries we’ll brush them aside.

 

[Sbarcher]

Thomas and Kitching are a really strong pairing in the 18yd box, but too slow to chase back when a ball's knocked over our high line. I think now, every team knows this is our weak spot and play accordingly.

 

[Ibby]

Bad result.

Exactly, agreed. I’ve been banging this drum all season and it’s been the games that we’ve dropped points that we’ve been unable to change the tide of games.

In reality, we don’t have the bodies to fill a bench right now.
