We showed some excellent team spirit. Looking like a team which is reassuring. Firpo had a decent game. Gary good. Many other positives. Messlier could have been better, but did make some critical saves too.

Well 90 points usually guarantees promotion, but not in this crazy season 😅

It’s his biggest weakness and is probably the reason why he is typically late to make them. The leadership need to appoint a substitution consultant (if there is such a thing). In so many areas, Farke is Prem quality. But he’s Midland league-level with his subs…

You get the feeling, should we go up, Farke might struggle again in the prem. When he makes subs, either for his chaos theory or to rest/save players like tonight, we always lose shape.

We have a good bench, that shouldn't happen

He’s learning every match. Let’s hope he learns quick.

No one has ever failed to go up with 93...

In hindsight he should've left Gnonto on.

But don't forget Boro went gung ho,

Piroe was the biggest waste of space sub wise.

Is that the first time we've conceded three goals since the Southampton game last September.

We have more control now

If Ipswich don't win all 3, we will beat QPR and it might be that Southampton have no chance of top 2 when we play them.

If Gnonto got the DJ chance it’s 5-2. Farke got his subs wrong and got away with it.
Ipswich won’t fade. As predicted.

Yes, there's more to a strikers role these days, and he just doesn't know where to run when the opposition have it.
