2 wingers, DM is going for it!!!!

[andyst79]

Very tactical, think Blairs come in to help Halliday defensively.

[dknward2]

Think we have set up for the counter attack today, good options from the bench

[Colemans Left Hook]

well it looks like someone has done their homework  - anyone any idea when with a virtual full squad,  a Rovers manager last made such tactical changes ?

Sterling not in the squad today due to loan limits

[dknward2]

Sterling missing due to the dead leg last weekend

[anton123]

Come on rovers looking forward to this going to be a good game

Rotherham getting beat

[adamtherover]

Why do I think we are really gonna miss out on not playing bolton when we should have...

[glosterred]

8' A bit of a scramble in the Town box as the visitors look to open the scoring but Tom Anderson's final shot is blocked & Chambers clears.

[0-0] #itfc


8' A training ground corner routine from Rovers ends with Ben Whiteman's shot blocked. When the ball is played back in there are several players there, with Tom Anderson's shot blocked.

It's hard to find time to make a post

19' Coppinger's clipped free-kick is cleared by Chambers but only as far as Whiteman whose shot from the edge of the box is just over.

[0-0] #itfc

19' A deep Rovers free-kick is played into the area by James Coppinger, it is cleared back to Ben Whiteman but he doesn't catch his shot cleanly and it is lifted over the bar.  #DRFC #IPSDON 0-0

Good start or?

[glosterred]

22' SAVE! First real opportunity of the game falls to Doncaster as Niall Ennis takes aim from the edge of the box but Holy does well to get down low & push the shot away.

[0-0] #itfc


22' Only a good stop from Tomas Holy denies Niall Ennis, as the forward wins the ball and progresses into the area before letting fly with a low drive. Jon Taylor's effort from the rebound is blocked.  #DRFC #IPSDON 0-0

Good morning everyone, a tough test for the lads today. However, it looks like we've made a good start, have to make it count.

[anton123]

Donny better side up to now Ipswich just long ball donny playing through them and look good

[SydneyRover]

DR playing attacking football with good control and keeping Ipswich fairly quiet, great one touch football

[dknward2]

Sounds like we are on top just hope we don't rue these missed chances

[anton123]

Should of scored Taylor

[glosterred]

43' Massive chance for Doncaster as they break quickly with Ennis. His cross from the right comes all the way through to Taylor at the back-post but Holy does very, very well to get out & save the shot.

[0-0] #itfc


43' CLOSE!! Some fantastic play down the right from Rovers leads to Niall Ennis crossing for Jon Taylor, whose shot is somehow stopped by Holy in the home goalkeeper.  #DRFC #IPSDON 0-0

[glosterred]

0-0 half time, a good first half by all accounts.


COYR

[ScillyRover]

Excellent first half but should be at least a goal up.

[SydneyRover]

Ipswich came back a bit in the last 12 min or so, but yes Taylor missed a big opp and we should have been 1 up

[SydneyRover]

There was a header cleared off our line at some point which I missed, anyone have the details?

[SydneyRover]

Good commentary, anyone know who it is?

[glosterred]

49' Chance for Town! Edwards floats the ball in from the right & Jackson looks to have got to it in front of the 'keeper but he can't steer his header on target.

[0-0] #itfc

[goalkick]

Lawler not having much to do.

[SydneyRover]
