v Ipswich Town (a) - 23/9/23

[CambridgeRover]

I have been calling for Pears to be subbed for fucking weeks as soon as Walstead came in.

It is inexcusable and almost sackable that JDT has kept playing him. He has cost us so many points.

 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

The entire defensive side of our game has turned to absolute💩 

I think we'd be bettter playing 3 at the back, all of our fullbacks are crap defensively, het Hill and S Wharton back in alongside Hyam, we need their leadership abilities. 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Imagine cutting the budget mid summer when it's already at the lower end of the table, and expecting anything more than mid table mediocrity.  

Fuck Venkys 

[JohnD]

Our biggest away defeat is 8-0 I think...

[Tugay-is-God]

Rovers TV clearly knew something we didn't. Trying to save us the trouble of watching this rubbish.

This ref is awful. 

Player slips - awards a FK in a dangerous area against Moran.

Clown. 

[ItsRoverZ]

Easiest fucking game Ipswich will have all season, you can't tell me different.

We are our own worst enemies. Unreal how open we are! JDT needs to be careful or this could end up 6 or 7 for Ipswich 

[arealbrfcfan]

You have gotta laugh! The crap our fans gave Hirst last season. I’ve always thought he was a good player. 

[TonyM]

Getting outplayed all over the park today - Ipswich by far the better side.

[Crozzy]

Am I mad that I still want to watch it?

You'd cut our goals conceded column in half with a decent GK - he's thrown two into his own net today (he should have been out much, much quicker for the Hirst through ball). 

[Stonesrick]

George Hirst playing like Benzema today.

Pretty detailed opposition preview from the TWTD website. Interestingly going with a 2-1 Rovers win. 

Wow, that's one helluva preview!

Interesting Board, too; but seem to have a lot of adverts. Visitors - even those who register - get hit by adverts - makes you (me!) appreciate Premium membership of Brfcs! 

Interesting, also, they feel the need to remind members about the need not to be offensive in their comments; must be quite a sparky place.

Not based on what he showed in a Rovers shirt you didn't.

He was shit

[Rover_in_the_South]

Buckle in lads, going to be a long season!

[barry_]

the blame lies squarely with the manager.

Blaming Pears for a weak defense/midfield isn't right (however poor he might be).

Hirst goal today was absolutely inevitable, FFS 😡

[tomphil]

This open style of football is suicidal for us there are too many weak points front and back to make it prosper.

This bright young coach is going to make himself look a fool unless he finds a balance too it all instead of being happy to get back slaps for enterprising football.

As for Pears he'll be eased out now starting with the Harrogate game for sure but he really isn't the biggest issue, the style is.

Hirst isn't a good player, we just can't defend. Hence conceding 3 to Plymouth, 3 to Sunderland, 3 to Walsall and another 3 at minimum today.

When was the last time rovers won when Keith Stroud was in charge, sure we always lose when he’s in the middle

[BigBar]

On the manager yet again. Dirt tactics again.

Moran booked so he needs to be careful which means he will back off from now on.

[simongarnerisgod]

jdt needs to do  some serious coaching at half time,not seen the third goal but the first two were pears fault enhanced by us messing about under ipswich pressing,ffs we are not man city if he you to boot the ball upfield then do it
