Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Gabriel Silva is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jack Clarke and Ipswich Town agree another 5 years.

Daniel Murphy steps up from the Ipswich Town academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Murphy has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
