you can be a poor side but hard to beat,we ar`nt hard to beat and don`t score goals,which is very worrying,i just hope gudjonson comes back firing and the new lad jorgensen develops an understanding with him ,yuki needs a rest,he`s been running on empty for a few weeks now

Terribly weak defending YET AGAIN by Hyam's replacement Sean Mcloughlin on the second.

How many easy goal contributions against us is that now... ?

I'm almost seeing one a game. 

This guy will be starting at the back for us for years to come. That's how Venky's operate. We should have been spending good cash on a Hyam replacement as you'd expect either before he left or Jan 1.

This sale was easily the most detrimental but that was extremely obvious at the time, to anyone interested in Rovers getting results this season.

Did we ascertain whether Pears is injured, pissed off, or about to be sold.

So I was working all day today and I've just watched the highlights.

What in the Shane Duffy was that own goal?! I knew Cashin had scored one, but that was far worse than I expected. Nobody anywhere near him, keeper has the ball covered, lashes at it for no reason giving the keeper no chance, and then, possibly worst of all, casually grabs the ball and heads back towards the centre circle like it wasn't shit.

Appalling. I'd say Sammie Szmodics looked more embarassed to score!

[not exactly Scarface]

How did you view Szmodics today up against his former team.     He's a player that appears on his way out here, McKenna gave him 10 minutes towards the end and even scored but is often left out and rarely features now.      Your team just didn't test us nowhere near enough today, we didn't even play nowhere near our best but still ran out comfortable winners.     Rovers just didn't present enough of a challenge.      I hope you can survive and remain at Championship level.    League One is tough to get out of once you drop down and you need to do what you can to ensure such a scenario doesn't occur.

Can imagine you must be pleased to get these fixtures over with against us this season what with the abandoned game cut short with 10 minutes remaining when you had a lead, the rearranged game where we stole a point right at the end when should have been rightfully beaten and now today.    I don't pick the results and outcome of games or dictate what players or indeed referees should do and we've rode our luck at times in the matches involved but today was different where no-one can really dispute a winner.

If you want Szmodics back despite scoring the third I'd allow him to return as he just seems surplus to the time ahead at Portman Road.   It's a pity for the player and clubs involved as had he stayed up there Rovers could maybe have continued with his services or indeed proficiency that he just hasn't replicated here with us.

Just watched the highlights. Cashins own goal was appalling, as bad as you'll see at any level. He was very very lucky to not concede a penalty towards the end of the game too. Looked an absolutely nailed on pen that would have had VI scribbling in his notebook if it had gone against us.

I love Sammie back and would be pretty confident he could score us the goals to stay up, but this manager would probably play him at left wing back or something stupid like that.

Catastrophic Cashin debut. Long felt McLoughlin's level as a Hull reject was a correct assessment of his capabilities.

With George Pratt in the side instead of Cashin we are not 2 down inside 10 minutes. Crap selection.

The biggest problem is VI is simply not coaching us on how to play when in possession. There is no guile, no movement, no nothing.

These players are much weaker than the team which the loons dismantled but they are better than what they are showing.

Of course we are ravaged by absences but this is getting dangerously bad.

There's light at the end of the tunnel  my opinion , we were well beaten with high flying Ipswich, but we're not far off the injured returning, and our new strikers debut. I will be attending the Watford game, and  hopefully, see Rovers turn the corner.

[RoversTilliDie]

I will be attending, the Watford game, Rovers till I die.

Sammies long gone, onwards and upwards, Come on the Rovers.

[ElTwis]

Well this guy certainly sounds like a serious poster and definitely isn't just on the wind up

A long day yesterday and not a happy one.  Portman Road is never a happy hunting ground but yesterday we shot ourselves in the foot conceding two poor early goals.  The Cashin own goal was one of the softest I've seen.  I must admit of the three centre-backs, young Atcheson looked by far the better of the three.  McLoughlin simply doesn't win enough headers and is easily knocked off the ball.  Cashin, who looked decent at Hull last week, was clearly unnerved by the own goal.

The spells when we got ourselves back in the game produced very little although I thought the new lad looked decent when he came on.

It's now a big week with Swansea and Watford in quick succession.  I'm hoping the journey back from Swansea will be a happier one than yesterday - we need at least a point - and hoping to see a home win on Saturday.  Four points from these two games would give us something on which to build when players return from injury.  As RoverTilliDie said - onwards and upwards (hopefully).

We were always going to lose to high flying Ipswich, So forget the protests, and get behind Rovers.
