v Ipswich Town (a) - 17/1/26

[sharpysharps86]

Ipswich 3-0 Rovers. They are bang in form at the perfect time while Coventry are stumbling a little. Fully expect them to put Rovers to the sword unfortunately.

Predicted team:

                                Toth

         O'Riordan   McLoughlin   Cashin

   Miller        Tronstad     TGH         Pickering

                     Baradji     Cantwell

                             Ohashi

Probably right, maybe with Atcheson over O'Riordan?

I would personally have Atcheson over McLoughlin, with O'Riordan moving into the middle, but cant imagine Ismael dropping McLoughlin

Agreed.

Don't mind McLoughlin on the left side of a 3 too much, but he should never be in the middle.

Unfortunately I think he will be though until Wharton gets back.

More or less picks itself to a great extent. Tell Cantwell and Baradji to get up with the striker when they can.

Still can't see what Pratt's done wrong.

Great advertisement for potential Academy recruits, come in, play out of your skin, then get promptly jettisoned because another Club wants one of their players to get some game time.

It might be we have to keep Brighton happy(on good terms),as without them we can`t afford loans at all.  

By and large, its worked well for us!

Does the new Danish lad go straight in?

He might not be available for Saturday due to international clearance it said in the telegraph

I’d hope for some foreplay first.

Historically a high scoring and entertaining match up at Portman Road

4-3, 2-2, 3-2 the last three.

Difficult to see us even laying a glove on them tomorrow though, nevermind taking part in a goal fest 😵

Their home record is superb apart from a random 3 nil loss to Charlton thrown in there. I'm surprised bookies have them at 1/2, we've got no chance I'm afraid. Keep it respectable is about all we can hope for... 

As an aside wtf happened to our set pieces, thought we'd turned a corner after the Preston game and the new set piece coach was making a mark, dire since then 🤔

I saw the bold part first and though that was a mad prediction of our formation before reading the rest

Pears misses tomorrow's game. Injured wrist apparently. Toth to start.

Forshaw back to save us 

 

 

 

[MarkBRFC]

The player who "has been dealing with a problem for a few weeks" is Cantwell or Tronstad I reckon.

Cantwell based on the strapping would be my guess

Yeah if it’s cantwell he might as well leave right now. I swear he has these little issues and can’t play. He’s a right wimp. 

[Tomphil2]

He's obviously been carrying something for months and i'm sticking to my original opinion that he needs minor surgery but is trying to put it off as long as possible.

Chances are he'll disappear completely in a month or two.

[not exactly Scarface]

Sorry to those making the trip at the time they've chosen to start this.    Portman Road isn't the easiest ground to get to for opposition fans and we - or they - have put people out of their way again with selecting a stupid kick off time that's only going to inconvenience a certain many.   

McKenna just received another MOTM award but it was well deserved.    Obviously you don't get to see all that goes on here but we've beaten leaders Coventry comfortably home and away in the last month as well as picking up other standout results.    After a slow start we have now showed peoples expectations and progressing as we should.

I'd hope to see Szmodics involved against you tomorrow at some stage as since we brought him in the player just hasn't lived up to expectation and seems at times surplus to future plans or on the verge of being sold or loaned out.      Hirst won't be involved so essentially you're looking at Azon leading the line with others like Philogene, Nunez and Burns playing their part further behind.     We'll start as favourites and expected to win or least take something from it but sport is fickle at this level and open to all manner of outcome.

This week back in 1996 we won against you in an FA Cup replay game when you were premier league champions where no-one thought it were possible.    Point being all these years later maybe Rovers can do something similar from the other end of the spectrum.

The kind of game I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a win but also equally wouldn’t be surprised to see us get tonked.

In other words this post added no value whatsoever!

More chance of finding a hens tooth stuck in your boiled egg than Rovers winning down there.

The bogeyest of bogey grounds for us it really must be the journey down that Blackburn teams don't like.

Too far on the bus? 

[Tomphil2]

Rovers team used to train Friday mornings then travel down in the afternoon for away games.

Distance ones they used to fly or occasionally the train but in the Waggot era i got told his method was train Fri afternoon and travel in the evening for distance games.

Not sure if true or if it makes a difference or not.
