Bristol Rovers v Ipswich Town

Less than 50% possession yet again.

Im giving him 4 more league games.

Honestly, I'm not wyu, but why 4?
Why not 3 or 5?

I'm only interested because after the 4th match, and he still hasn't delivered in your mind, the transfer window will be closed (I think this is essential for a new encumbrance, btw and would time any change to help asap).

Unfortunately, I wholeheartedly agree.

Ah ok, that makes more sense. Thanks for that.
Everyone draws their line at different places or not at all.

I still think we're making a huge mistake by putting ourselves years behind with BG. A coach maybe, but nothing yet of management yet I've seen.

Good luck with your 4 matches, syg...

2 wins from 22 for BG.

Just heard BG interview and fair play you have to put a brave face on for media.

65-70 mins not alot in the game.....I honestly thought we chased the game for most of it, were behind in possession and two brilliant Jaak saves and Little clear off the line apart,we could easily have been 3-1 down (if you take Hanlon chance in similar way). I thought Ipswich set up better than us, tested our keeper more and looked much more likely to score than we did itn 65 mins.

2nd goal killed us......true, but why did our heads go down after the first?
Two mistakes and we paid for it.

Their substitutes changes the match for them.
Ours didn't.
Why?

Why didn't we create more chances rather than some half chances at home?

One positive, I think we deliver the first ball from a set piece more effectively this season.

Jaak saves were great, the one he saved with his right through a crowd of players very underrated.

Leahy made some good passes and a decent cross into space - literally - no one there - but that involves going back to the not playing 2 strikers philosophy...

Jim Fallon better watch out, his record of ''Worst Manger Ever'' is under threat here.

You can always choose the wrong person Bas, with the best of intentions, not having the courage, common sense, or having surrounded yourself with 'Yes Men' who won't tell you that you've made a mistake, that's where it becomes a problem.

I said at the start of the season that Garner should have 6 games to see how it pans out, no point, I was expecting reports to suggest something better / different to last season, this is exactly the same;

Ipswich away. Beaten up.

L2 team at home, struggled to a draw then lost the penalties that followed.

Sunderland. Gifted a lead, then overrun for 87 mins.

Ipswich Home. Beaten up again.

That's enough.

Before the game I would have taken a point. In fact, I was expecting a draw.

It seemed like the game plan was to play for a draw. There certainly was not any threat in the attacking third of the pitch. It is difficult to see where the goals are going to come from.

If we were creating a bucketful of chances, then I would not be concerned at all. We are not creating anything at all. We cannot win games if we do not score.

Hanlan I thought had a good game, did what he could with really poor service. On another day could have nicked a goal.
Westbrooke seemed to be involved in everything, especially in the first half.
Jaakkola was excellent.

On a positive note, we did make Ipswich look ordinary for 70 minutes. Defensively it looked much better until the end. The goals conceeded were very weak, which was a shame because I felt we were in control for most of the game. Hopefully these mistakes can be ironed out.

I enjoyed the watching from home experience, this was my first iFollow game. Looking forward to attending games again, but grateful that we have the technology to watch The Gas in these unprecedented times.

Initial thoughts post game was that we dropped a point today. One point obviously because we were never going to score. Ipswich were beatable today.
