Rovers v Ipswich (Matchday Thread)

He's certainly not watched the same game as me.

I don’t think so!
Ayunga has shown promise
JML was completely off
Hanlan was a let down but hard to play on your own
Upson nowhere
Westbrook poor but better in middle
Grant not good enough yet
Middle not creative or strong enough
Weak in passing

Defence OK so far wrt Little Leahy. Harries passing a key down. Ehmer needs to take control but it looked like Kilgour was main defender in centre today.

Cannot fault Jakkola.

Basically we have no midfield in any shape or form Or creativity or physical presence! No Clarke Ogogo Sinclair etc. equivalent

All that interview from Garner served to do was water me off further. I miss the days under DC where even if we had played poorly, you felt immediately reassured after listening to the post match interview that he acknowledged how bad we had been and would try to do everything to put it right.

No, Wael should tell us all what the plan is.

I do not hate the man, I simply do not understand where he is taking our Club.

You say it was a sh*te performance and blame the manager - well he is Wael's appointment.

In any organisation the man at the top has to take responsibility - that here is Wael and whilst  I may like the man is irrelevant.

He has to prove to us all that he is capable of taking this Club forward, are you confident that he is capable? 

As a business owner myself, I knew where the 'buck stopped'  and it was always ME.

I hope he has the ability and the 'ME' to take our Club forward into the Championship, because otherwise I worry for our future.

Please let me know why (if you do) consider Wael Al-Qadi has the ability and means to take BRFC forward and ability to make it all happen for 'the Gas'?

I personally have given Wael Al-Qadi my support in meetings I have had with him, but as you will agree, it is entirely up to him to prove my support is respected and prove it.


 

"I think up to 70/75 minutes we did. There’s wasn’t a lot in the game at all and we had a really good opportunity and the best chance in the first half.

Up to 70, there wasn’t a lot in the game. If anything I thought we were going to push on, and then they got the goal and our heads drop a touch.

It was a disappointing goal to concede and they finished the stronger team, getting the second goal. Not much in it all.

Again it was fine margins but we need to brush up on those fine margins to make sure we come out with a result"

Is this guy for real 😒 how was it fine margins! He's just deluded they should have won 3-0 or 4-0. Hes acting like we lost 1-0 and had 7 shots on target and hit the post twice that would have been FINE margins.

Again deluded!

It's Garners team, but they can't play the Garner way. I think he'd be fine, if he was the Ipswich manager with players who can pass to each other, and not the opposition.

I was very much wilingl to give Garner a second chance, but he must be on thin ice now? The first ipswich game was just awful, last week was ok but we basically spent the game in our own box, and today? I dont get what the tactics are. We arent progessive with our passing, long balls are aimless. I dont see where the next goal is coming from let alone a win. Hanlon clearly isnt a goal scorer. He has had 2 great chances. Today was the weakest effort i have ever seen, and last week, surely a striker 3 minutes into his debut and gets the chance of a penalty and from what i seen, didnt even try to take it. Very worrying all round

This is ridiculous. It's blindingly obvious what the (broad) plan is, and we've been told what it is, and the club has demonstrated what it is doing about it, and he has put his money where his mouth is.

Garner might not be the right man for the job, but that doesn't change what the plan was intended to be, and just shouting 'what's the plan?' coz we've lost doesn't mean there is no plan. It might have been a sh** plan (I don't think it is, but that's a matter of opinion), but again, you know what it is, so just shouting 'what's the plan?' coz we've lost seems a bit pointless.

Just demanding Wael should be wheeled out in bold coz we lost to explain it in detail to you seems a bit needy.

I personally think that we have a decent group of footballers at the club but we wont see that with this mans stubborn tactics I'm afraid. I dont believe for one minute BG has identified these new signings I think it's all down to TW and his superb scouting skills but unfortunately these talented players are not going to flourish with the current manager.
