Ironside

Adore the bloke. What a performance.

Have you ever seen a striker fouled so much and get so little?

Some incredible decisions by the referee but my god does Joe put a shift in.

Player of the season. Never stops, even when things are going against him. We get the right players in, he will be as good as Marquis was with us

Must be horrible to play against.

His hold up play was exemplary today.

Their no.6 who was man marking had half a shirt by the end of the game. But they showed respect to eachother at the final whistle.

Proper footy.

Not sure what he has to do to get a free kick, ref gave him nothing all game, and then the lino chipped in and gave him offside when he was a yard onside

I think refs have a preconceived idea that he will always back in and foul first.
He is becoming one of the legends.

We did.

If he gets to 20 this season this will be big achievement on par with Colin Cramb’s 20 in another shit season.

I wonder if Miller had stayed fit for the season, the partnership they could have had. I know on the whole we’ve played with a three up there. Miller/Ironside/A winger would have been a decent threat at this level.

If he does come back, I doubt he will be the same player. He will have not kicked a ball for 18 months. That’s a big hit.

Build him a statue now. Immense today, played with a player on his back the entire game and didn't stop. Absolute quality.

13 League goals in 29 games. He missed 1 league game i think out of the 30 played so far.

17 goals in all competitions think it is he has now.

Quite simply a brilliant signing and this guy is every bit as good as John Marquis imo.
In fact his hold up play is better than JM’s
Possibly not quite as good a finisher on the deck in the penalty box but then Joe Ironside hasn’t had as much decent service in this team as JM had in the Rovers teams he played in.

The problem Joe has is that he gives as much as he gets. We scream for a foul when Joe has been pulling and backing into the opposing player. Having said that he gets more awarded against him than he actually gets, not to mention the "play on" decisions when we want the foul.

Absolutely brilliant, what a warrior this guy is.

He’s just what this team needs, a real ‘mester’ to mix it with the opposition’s defence and a player who gives 100% every game.

This might sound daft but I said to our kid at the end of the game that Joe is one of our best defenders. Put the ball up to him when we’re under pressure and he will bust a gut to take it, hold it, shield it and give time for team mates to come up to support.

Love the guy, hope he gets a few more goals yet this season (especially from open play)

He's committed 62 fouls (the most in L2) and drawn 40 fouls.
