Matt Taylor reminds me of a particular type of paint. Flat Matt. It does the job covers the cracks uninspiring and dull Don’t let roadyreturns see you say that… he’ll have a meltdown 😂 |

unfortunately he can't.if you question a result or performance he goes into bully mode and starts hurling all sorts of personal abuse at everyone. Hmmm, shame. It’s good to hear other people’s views and ideas of the game, all I seem to get back is Joey B comments, as I’ve said above I understand why he was sacked, we’ve moved on from that but right now I cannot see how Taylor has upgraded our side. I hope he does recruit well in the summer and the Gas can do well as that’s what we all want. like you there is a natural longevity and we reached that with Barton maybe in the summer. Taylor not sure as I think his ambition is a clean sheet at 90 mins which is fine from a professionals view but not in you are paying top dollar in 1980s facilities. |

I have to admit the football being played is dire.
A few times we got caught in possession trying to play out from the back. Whats the point when all we did all night was kick and rush? (i say rush but we are so slow between midfield and forwards)
Fleetwood were also poor and a half decent side would have beaten them.

And the other hater, here he is as well, desperate for us to do bad so they can get onto the manager, your hero has gone! What are you on about? Hero has gone? Joey B had to go… simple as that, nothing wrong with wanting a manager with some fight in them. DC showing it with Cheltenham, cotterill doing it with forest Green. One thing you have to accept in life is people will have differences of opinions so maybe put the tampon away 👍. Sexist |

I completely agree, coughlan got wins and even said himself it isn’t attractive but it’s getting us the points, I’m all for that if it’s doing the job but this is dire! DC took over a Cheltenham team who hadn’t scored in 11 games, miles off play offs to it being possible of staying up and scoring goals again. Even lost 2 of his strikers during this period. He’s clearly put his own character into the side. Taylor… I struggle to see what has changed. He deserves the time/ summer to rebuild of course but when us fans are paying good money to watch them ect we have absolutely every right to voice our opinions so long as it isn’t insulting. |

Oh dear, a manager happy with a 0-0 draw against a relegation spot side that we were unable to score against over 80+ minutes. This guy concentrates on a clean sheet against Fleetwood… do it against Lincoln and then I’ll give praise, better still, go for a clean sheet every game and get the attack right as well Taylor so we can score 👍. More clean sheets earlier in the season and we'd be in a playoff spot, possibly fighting for automatics. That's only our sixth of the season and so I'm glad we finally got another one - we might even make double-digit clean sheets at this rate, something the current top six in the league all achieved before or just after Christmas... ...coupled with the fact we have only failed to score in (now) six league games, it's obvious that Taylor's focus should be on clean sheets - guarantees a point and (with our scoring record) more often than not this season would have given us all three points.... |

I hope he does recruit well in the summer and the Gas can do well as that’s what we all want. How can he upgrade the side in one window when JB and Jennings blew the budget on the bunch of crocks and Grandads? You get the JB comments back at you because you are having a go at MT everytime we lose or draw and making the comparisons with JB. We have to learn to be tight at the back because we cannot rely on scoring one more than the opposition even more so now we dont have Collins and LT is injured and Javani, who only makes the odd contribution every 10 games, means that we'll lose more than we will win/draw. Losing Collins and LT means we have lost all of our pace and attacking threat that makes teams think and double mark leaving space for the likes of Evans to get into the pockets of holes in attacking play which then gives Martin time to get into space. MT has come into a midtable squad full of poor squad players and fragile players that cant play 20 games a season or more and that is the fault of Jennings and JB not MT. Players like Wilson, Hunt, Ward, Gordon and Hoole will hopefully be on their way at the end of the season and we can sign some quality that can actually last more than half a season to replace them and the signings of Conteh and Baggot show the type of player we will be after. Let me put it another way, all of JBs summer signings bar Martin and Vale are either not good enough (Cox, Crama, Brown, Woods, Bogarde), Retired (Friend) or broken (LT, Wilson, Hunt, Taylor). What is it you're expecting MT to do in 4 months and 1 window with this bunch? |

I was going to type its easier for a manager to stamp his authority on a relegation side and show positive progress but then I remembered that JB failed at that as well with us so probably not the correct thing to say! |

Makes me laugh a bit reading comments about how bad we were and that any decent side would have beaten Fleetwood.
Fleetwood are 5 unbeaten & have only lost 2 of their last 11 (Barnsley & Lincoln), so it was never going to be easy. It's a good point away from home & probably a fair result, but if either side deserved to win, it was Rovers. More possession, more shots on target, more corners.
The pitch was really poor and there was a gale force wind blowing in off the sea. Personally, I thought we did okay.
I'm not sure what's happened to our fanbase. It wasn't long ago we were in the National League losing to the likes of Braintree, but now some seem to think we should be playing like Man City and beating everyone we play in L1.

Just listened to MTs comments after the game and was amazed he thought Gordon and Hoole did well…. They were shocking.
Hoole was beaten all night by Patterson and even almost set up an assist by padding directly to a player who then hit the bar. No idea how he missed the sitter at the other end. He needs to improve fast or he will be in L2 next year.
Taylor and Baggott were excellent throughout and they both had a right scrap with Omochere and Stockley.
Captain Sam and KC did well to nullify the colossus Lawal.
That MT called the night a success shows how low our expectations are being pushed … Fleetwood have the second worst goals against record ( we didn’t add to that over two games) and the second worst home record .
Marks we saw them…
Ward -6!
Hoole -4
Taylor-7
Baggott-7
Gordon-5
Finley - 7
Evans-6
Conteh -7
Sinclair-6
Vale-6
Martin -6
Subs - not really time to do much albeit Vaughan is just an embarrassment.
Would definitely keep tabs on Omochere and Lawal -

I'm not going to look too much into a performance away on a terrible pitch against a team fighting for their lives. A clean sheet and a point isn't a bad return all things considered.
Good to get to 50 points, and good to get minutes for Finley, Taylor, and G. Ward.

Is Baggott a realistic target this summer? Can't see why not. He played 2 games for Ipswich 4 years ago and has played at a lower level (if at all), ever since. He's not (yet) a top end Championship or lower Premier League standard, so why not play for a third division side regularly? |

For a load of mainly older people on here that have apparently been supporting Rovers for decades I am amazed how little some seem to understand about lower league football! iFollow is probably a bad thing for fans for tough midweek away games. Too much belief that we should turn up and walkover them.
Taylor identified we were soft at the back and rarely kept clean sheets. He is fixiging that. Most good managers sort that first and then look to be more expansive and attacking once you have a solid defence to build from.
As for the comments from the same few about Gordon, and especially Hoole each week. You clearly dont understand the game. Stats based and unbiased views scored Hoole well yesterday (and against Derby) but people love to pick on a player or two until they are hounded out... and then are probably the same ones that say why dont we have more youngsters coming through etc etc. Maybe head off to your summer holidays and come back refreshed next season.

I think if they get promoted they extend his contract by a year and loan him to a championship club next year. He could be one of those players like Quansah that would thrive higher up the leagues. I do agree that he could do with a full season in league football somewhere though. I wouldnt mind having him here next year. He's more capable than Wilson IMO and also fitter. |

I agree with you in regards to Hoole and Gordan. Although isn’t this why the new owners want a premium grade training facilities so we can then have an under 21’s squad? So at the moment there isn’t many youngsters coming through but certainly something that will change in the future. |

With his social media following in Indonesia, dare I say commercially useful to Ipswich too? |
