Not foggy in Bristol, I left there around 3.30 and clear as a bell, lovely day. May get some later tonight but doubt it.

Have a safe trip all and hopefully the match will be worth the trip.

I forsee a win for us, know the City boys would love that.

We sign 5 new players to strengthen the side and not one of them starting. Four changes for us again tonite.

Blimey our finishing is crap. We should be two up inside 4 minutes. Hope these misses don’t prove costly.

The first goal is crucial tonight, if Rovers score expect the bus to get parked and we’re not very good at getting past buses.

Well we’ve lost the initiative now I think . That’s the difference between us and the other contenders isn’t it. They can score , we can’t .

I’ll. put money on we concede from a corner or a free kick .

Yea, Bolton don’t have our problem scoring, they’ve had 3 shots 2 on target and 1 goal, we’ve had ; shots 2 on target and No goal.

As I said on Saturday we need twice as many shots and shots on targets as others.

Davis crosses from the wrong angle . He needs to get right to the by line snd pull it back . It’s going away from keeper snd we can’t be offside from it. It s just basic wing play tbh ! Why don’t we do it ?? I’m

Davis has had 3 glorious chances to cross to an unmarked Town player and f*cked it every time.

Currently nearer 7th place (7 points) than we are an automatic place (8).
Early days but need to score.


Worse still when Wycombe have a game in hand to further close that gap and Wednesday could use their game to increase their lead.

I bet none of the other leading teams have had 5 shots and three on target. Our finishing is shocking.

3 up now. So much for goal difference!!

Usually so positive but why do I feel so disheartened with the football currently?

Bristol Rovers commentary just said the way Ipswich want to play at walking pace really suits the way we’re set up tonight.

… 3 up in 28 minutes. That’s 8 goals so far in their last 2 games and they’ve still got another hour to play.

There's no drive or creativity from our Midfield at all, where the f*ck is Burns tonite, Harness is pointless and Aluko is pretty but creates zilch.
