Title: Let's talk about the Ipswich Town game
Post by: selby on September 25, 2021, 07:07:56 pm
  It is getting to the point where we have to pick ourselves up off the floor and fight for our lives, and like most teams when things go wrong the world seems against you, at least that is how the result after being so promising felt at Plymouth.
 My feeling in the week about that game was we very rarely win three on the bounce, so at least we have not got that pressure hanging over our head with this game.
 Ipswich are a team that most would have tipped to be themselves at the other end of the table,have a well respected manager and players most teams in our division would snatch up given the chance. As I have pointed out a few times before we are a team that lot's of times in the past we have managed to get teams in the doldrums and in bad runs of form up and running again over the years, but this game is a must not lose game to me.
  We need a moral boosting result, and to find a way not to lose and let another team build a gap between us and them that gets too big.
  At least supporters who went to the Plymouth game are reporting another improved performance and signs that we are becoming a team that can cause problems for other teams going forward, lets hope we can take another step forward on Tuesday.
  Would you make changes?
  Are we really improving?
  Are Ipswich in a false position?
  With Pigott and Harper they have the potential to score goals, are we capable of making them wait a little longer to start doing so?
  Lots to think about with this game, how do we approach it? lot's to discuss, please have your say.

If the tractor boys  don't  harvest 3 points on Tuesday it
will be the last straw for the cook who will be thrown out with the dirty dishwater.

With their ridiculous Covid restrictions at Portman Road, i won't be going out of protest. Lunacy.

That aside, another tough away trip for us despite the Tractor Boys lowly league position at the moment.

Again, like today at Plymouth, a game which i feel we can win but won't.

Taken the lead at Wigan and Plymouth and come away with 0 points from those games. When we score away we don't win and when we don't score away, we don't draw.

Drop Cukur. He will never score a goal for us if he played until he was 50.

Interesting game in prospect and looking forward on ifollow to see how we shape up.

They are pretty terrible if truth be told. They’ve only won once in all competitions this season. Even we have won twice. They’ve kept one clean sheet all season. They usually score though. We will probably lose here given our dreadful historic record but they are a poor side at present.

Think will be another struggle for us, we played much better today than previous matches but were still very lightweight in midfield and until we sign someone who can play in the whiteman position we will struggle

I have tickets for this as I haven’t been before but typically I’m currently unwell which made me miss the Plymouth game. I don’t think it’s covid as I’ve tested negative all week and had a negative PCR last weekend. I also had another PCR yesterday to play safe so I’m just waiting the result
I think it’s a chest infection which has floored me. I’ve got antibiotics going now I’m just trying to get fit for Tuesday.
I hope to go as we seem to have turned a corner. Could do with Cukur getting off the mark to give his confidence a boost

'Plan your journey in advance and arrive at the stadium in plenty of time (an entry time and

My ticket has an entry time of 2:30pm - 2:45pm

I think I'll be arriving a bit later than that.

There does seem to be some bugs other than covid doing the rounds atm, possibly since the ditching of face coverings.

My 12 year old is a bit poorly with all the typical symptoms of a nasty cold at the moment. I do think there is something other than Covid doing the rounds which is a shock as i was led to believe that Covid was the only disease left in existence.  :rolleyes:

I felt really rough on Friday but picked up a lot now.

We are improving game by game and yesterday was our best performance of the season, just 2 mistakes cos us all 3 points. Cukur wasn’t bad just took too long at times to pass or shoot, dodoos hold up play was good and Hiwula could’ve had more than just the one goal. Defensively Williams and Anderson never put a foot wrong.

Only change I would make is Vilca for Cukur with Dodoo going up top. Confident of getting a win on Tuesday after our recent performances just need to cut out the mistakes. 2-1 win

Thanks Spud. Definitely not covid as my PCR has come back negative again. I feel like I’ve been 12 rounds with Usyk but hopefully by Tuesday I will be good enough to go

Would be poetic justice after making away fans so unwelcome.

Funny how we all read semantics differently. I didn't see any lack of humility in any of NigelJ's posts; just enthusiasm for supporting Rovers as much as he possibly can.

Which we all do, and I'm sure he doesn't think any less of us because we can't get to as many games as him.

Having got that rant said we are seriously missing Galbraith in midfield.

Ben Close is not happy playing the holding midfield role.

We need Tommy Rowe in midfield and play Horton at left back as we have no control.
The front players are not keeping the ball at all.

Thought we were doing ok against an Ipswich team lacking confidence and then we hand them a goal on a plate with a shocking pass.
Given them the filip they needed and the crowd are now right behind them.

This is going to be a tough 2nd half.

Men against boys first half. Or in the case of Matt Smith, Under 6's. Cukur will never score a goal for us ever yet continues to be selected. Quite bizarre. For every goal he does score i will donate a tenner to a local Donny charity. Sadly, they will never see the colour of my money.

On the first half performance we look every inch a relegation side.

Ipswich are only a handful of places above us and we have yet to create a meaningful attack.

Sort it out please Wellens.

To be fair, I was one of the main critics of the performance against Morecambe, as you well know and took flack from some for it.

This is another performance that has to be criticised. On any serious level how can it not be?

Oh piss off. I think you must have the mind of a 5 year old.
Who the hell are you to tell me to piss off.
That is acceptable is it on this site. I am just telling the truth if you don’t like it don’t read it.

Seriously what would it take for you to actually think that was garbage? 35% possession, 0 shots, 0 corners, 43% pass completion. You just jump all over people with any negative comments. Who is actually delighted about this as well? Like I said mind of a 5 year old.

Men against boys first half. Or in the case of Matt Smith, Under 6's. Cukur will never score a goal for us ever yet continues to be selected. Quite bizarre. For every goal he does score i will donate a tenner to a local Donny charity. Sadly, they will never see the colour of my money.

On the first half performance we look every inch a relegation side.

Ipswich are only a handful of places above us and we have yet to create a meaningful attack.

Sort it out please Wellens.

This. Not sure he has the capability, experience or knowledge as a manager to do so I’m afraid. And I loved him as a player. But he’s not a player now, he’s the main man and the book stops with him.

This is the worst team since the conference years. Lack of investment full stop.
I don't think it's alack of investment ,just that wellens is out of his depth but he know the board will not sack him and I don't think he's man enough to admit he's not good enough and walk away
I don’t think it’s necessarily either, yes it sounds like a shit performance but Ipswich are a miles bigger club than us and will beat us 8 times out of 10 at Portman Road ceteris  paribus.

To be fair to Wellens, there is no accounting for a sloppy wayward pass by Close that effectively set up the first goal for them and also the lack of awareness of our defenders leaving their man totally unmarked at the back stick for their second.

What is not acceptable is the complete lack of invention and creativity at the other end.

I can accept trying to hold out for a 0-0 away at Man City in the FA Cup but not tonight.

The good thing is we have a chance to put things back on track at home to MK on Saturday and hopefully tonight will have just been a one off and perhaps the players have been affected by the travelling in such a short space of time between games?

Not saying it is acceptable rich1471
Far from it we have been very poor.  I am just pointing out that certain posters only post when we are losing or lose and seem to take great delight in it.
Never here from them when we win.
I agree ,but we will here alot from them this season or until wellens walks away as the board will never sack him, thick it will get alot worse

Fair play to Ipswich though. Yes we've been absolutely dire but they've knocked it about beautifully at times and been a joy to watch. Most of their goals too were really well taken too and Dahlberg not much chance with them at all.

We gave Ipswich a head start with a diabolical cross field pass and they never looked back after that.

I tipped Ipswich to win the league this season and watch them fly up the table now.
Yes we completely folded in an 11 min 2nd half spell and that was not acceptable but believe me we will not play many if any better sides than Ipswich this season.

We didn't fold, we were shit the whole game. We had a 43% pass success rate in the first half and I don't think we connected more than 3 in a row the whole game. You can't make out like we were evenly matched until an 11 min patch.

Did I say we were evenly matched for the rest of the game. No I did not. Please stop making out I am say something I am not.
But in that 11 mins we completely lost concentration. 
Yes we were 2nd best throughout the match. We created nothing.
Galbraith was a huge miss and not having Bostock to replace him in the team gave us zero control in midfield.
Close, Smith were outplayed and outnumbered and Gardener is simply not good enough.
Close is not a holding midfielder not by a long way.
Galbraith would have made a huge difference iif he had played imo.
