Well after watching the first half of Cardiff Middlesbrough I think I can confidently say at this rate neither club is getting promoted. 

Cardiff are too sloppy and Middlesbrough lack creativity going forward and seem to butcher their chances. Borough definitely go forward with more repurpose though. 

Robertson has looked good, creative and moves the ball with paces and precision. I think he'll become more useful as the team starts to trust him more and use him. At the moment he seems to be getting bypassed a bit.

And there you go. Robertson right in the mix with two opportunities at the start of the half.

One gorgeous crossfield ball and another sharp little ball to Ramsey in the box.

Robertson will be the shining light at Cardiff that should have clubs poaching him within 12 months. Cardiff have been playing dire football for a good few years now.

Ipswich just named their starting 11. Phillips in over Luongo. Disappointing.

All Scottish AA late game or tomorrow. Souttar Sunday.

No Baccus today which is concerning. Luongo bench as Phillips gets the start. No Watts. Bilokapic bench. Elder starting.

They've got to starting using Phillips at some point. It's unfortunate but the cost needs to be justified and he'll gain sharpness. Luongo will get his minutes.

Robertson definitely looks well above average at this level, not (yet) dominating like he did at portsmouth but maybe will once he gets the feel of the level

Is Burgess not even their 2nd choice CB for Ipswich now?  To be honest don't really care about Luongo since he won't play for the national team again.

He played a full game midweek and they've got some other centre backs too. He had to do better for the goals but had he jumped he would've jumped up into the opponent's chin. You see players submit all the time by letting the opponent get the jump. Risky but body language shows their brain say 'not on'. Luongo can still come back and  he didn't exactly rule it out when asked.

If Baccus is out then surely Robertson gets a phone call. Teague might be on the emergency call list. Hrustic might not be so fit currently.

Nisbet kinda killing it. Every touch looks like setting up a goal,

Won an aerial duel, shot off the return pass, was cleared off the line but the clearance bounces in

Thought Luongo said in the post game interview last week that he will stay retired from the national team and will focus with the club only.

He didn't say it explicitly. He was asked whether a phone call from Arnold was worth it and he said 'I don't know'. His body language didn't suggest absolute rejection. He went on to say he's just focusing on Ipswich at the moment.

Curious what fans think of nisbet. He only touched the ball around 20 times, but lots of trickery and was really dangerous. A mm off side by one player stopped him from being the difference maker. Reminds me of mooy in the ecl or robbo in league 1. Hope he keeps it up. Refs turn a blind eye to a lot of physical nonsense in scotland

The former came off hurt I think? Early days for Josh getting sharp and settling in. Flight away tomorrow. I'll be in Inverness in two weeks but leave a day before the home game against St Johnstone.

Parma can't catch a break. Point blank header open goal hits bar they shoot and it hits the post.
