I've lost track of when injured players are meant to be back, but if Ismael sends the team out in that same system on Saturday then Watford will win at a canter.

I think Rovers are as good as down even if they do sack Ismael because a large amount of damage is already done...but at least a change might mean they go down with a fight rather than a whimper.

Can't decide if that starting XI is refreshing or suicidal.

This. I find it so frustrating when I go on the cesspit that is X and see the ridiculous level of infighting. Even though I am aligned with their views, there are certain people on there that just do not help themselves at all because they continuously take the bait of the likes of the food tech teacher fella who is constantly fishing for an argument, and it all just ends in them resorting to insults. Can't remember who it was, but someone calling fans who still plan to go to the game 'scabs' just doesn't help at all, it's actually embarrassing and just paints one side in a bad light. Its simple - kill them with kindness and diplomacy. There's no need to resort to calling someone a scab or whatever.

I feel like you are missing Chaddy 😂

Definitely missing some key players that would improve the first team, but I think to me it's more that the team doesn't seem to have a particular approach or plan and that Ismael is sending the players out like lambs to the slaughter. Maybe that's simply down to missing so many players, but there's no real identity to how the team want to play, no plan as such. Its just a bunch of athletes who can run around a lot and do very little with the ball.

I imagine it will now go very quiet until mid next week at the earliest. Based on Ismael's comments, I'm expecting a cheap loan striker and the offloading of a couple of the current squad...oh and Hedges probably not being registered for the rest of the season while we suffer along with De Neve at LWB.

This is something I considered this morning, because if Rovers lose on Tuesday and go behind against Watford on Saturday, then whatever small number of home fans are attending for that game will surely turn...BUT there's no way the club would be willing to pay him off, so it'd have to be a mutual consent of some sort, and I just can't see that happening while Ismael has that long contract. Its a deeply depressing situation because even if Ismael goes, which he absolutely should, we know the club is still rotten to the absolute core and the disdain they have for the fans is toxic.

Unclear yet, but let's hope so.

After his comments after yesterday's game there is absolutely no way he can continue. The fact that they're looking like offloading Mateta to Juventus as well leaves them in a right mess. Full expect Adam Wharton to move on in the summer as well.

To my knowledge Rovers have only beaten Swansea at their place once in god knows how long - 3 nil away win early in JDT's tenure. It is not a happy hunting ground and I see no reason for that to change on Tuesday. Swansea 2 - 0 Rovers The team I would like to see: Toth Atcheson O'Riordan Pratt Alebiosu Tronstad Baradji Pickering Cantwell Ohashi Jorgensen The team we will likely see is the same one that started on Saturday but with Jorgensen up front alongside Ohashi and Henriksson dropping out.

Wonder who's more unsackable, Ismael or the fella at Morecambe? Every time I see him that guy talking about a defeat 😂

Norwich winning also atm. 1 point now the gap as it is.

Agree, but as the next home game is the boycott game, I suspect the Rovers fans attending will happily sit on their hands, even if Rovers lose.

He will be a very welcome face to see on his return. TGH at RWB simply can't happen again once Alebiosu returns.

I stopped believing anything the club say a long time ago. It'll be Suhail's call ultimately.

I've felt it for pretty much most of the season. The run over the festive period confirmed it for me.

1 win in 12. Ismael has to go.

There's just no way on this planet that any half decent head coach picks De Neve over two far more experienced players in Pickering or Ribeiro. De Neve and Henriksson are League Two AT BEST. He is absolutely trying to get the sack by continuously selecting these players.

Absolutely. Interestingly, looking back at Coyle's results from that season, I don't think he ever had a run of 1 win in 12. 2 in 12 yes, but never worse than that. Ismael simply has to go.

Sounds painful

What's more alarming is that Alebiosu was shipped out on loan to Scotland while De Neve was a regular at Kortrijk. No wonder they got relegated.

Game over after 12 minutes. Reminiscent of Derby away last season. Listen I know its Ipswich, and zero points was expected today....but what will this be, 1 win in 12 for Ismael? Time to go.

Amazing start

Crikey. That line-up is something else. De Neve and Henriksson both start, TGH at RWB. I didn't expect anything today but that seals it. Ipswich to win at a canter.
