First taste of Darren Moore's Doncaster Rovers on Saturday and I really enjoyed what I saw – having had to reconstruct a team in a short space of time he's done a great job. We played some really good football, and were unlucky not to win at Portman Road.
Ipswich were a puzzling watch though. I expected them to play a bit, but they spent the majority of the game looking for a big ball over the top for Norwood to get on to; despite the fact that this was very competently dealt with by Rovers defence throughout. Seemed a big waste of the talents at their disposal.

Wasn't at the match this weekend but that's not entirely surprising. What's happened so far is that both Norwood and Jackson have been doing pretty well. If anything, Jackson has been the more potent (with Norwood benefiting from being the penalty taker) though Norwood has been good at linking up play.
So Town have ended up playing 4-4-2 even though I don't think that was ever really the intention. This means there's a midfield pairing of Skuse and Downes which is great, but they often struggle for options because Judge and Kenlock on the left are not giving them the best width and they have two centre forwards in front of them rather than a linking player. They either play it back (for a hoof) or to the right and hope that Kane Vincent-Young and Edwards can conjure something up.
I think we will see some shuffling for the MK match on Tuesday. Town are missing a couple of key wide players in Garbutt and Rowe but we've seen some good flashes of skill from Georgiou and Dobra. And ultimately I think that Jon Nolan will be joining Skuse and Downes in the middle and the team will use their talents a bit more effectively. The trouble is, which striker makes way?

I wonder if that was the linesman from Milton Keynes or the one who denied a string of very strong penalty shouts near the end of the game?
Wimbledon had a good shout for a pen in the first half turned down I thought, no idea about the others in the second half. Hard to see from where I was stood.
Anyway, a point each about right.

A door opens. A voice can be heard asking 'Doc?' while a skateboard rolls along the stone floor into a yellow case marked 'HAZARDOUS'.
You're talking bollocks, Keith.
