Another disasterous home defeat for Middlesbrough in a season where they had been expected to make an instant return to Division One. Instead they were now staring down the barrel of a second successive relegation and being dumped back into the Third Division from whence they'd came only three years earlier. Ian Baird gave Boro the lead but two second half sucker punch goals from Ipswich condemned Boro to a ninth home league defeat of the season. Only promotion chasing Swindon Town away and Barnsley at home until the final day of the season when another team at the top of the table, Newcastle Utd come to town. How much fun would that be if the geordies were to send Boro down?
