Great win but when are we going to put in a 90 minute shift? 23:09 - Sep 17 with 2269 viewspointofblue

The issue continues - excluding the match at Bolton against the kids we have still been unable to put together an effective and efficient 90 minutes this season, where we’ve been in control of the match for the majority of the game. We seem to be able to do it for a half but not much beyond that. Tonight could have been down to a wilting Huws and Nolan, combined with Keane getting up to match fitness, but we should have the strength and depth to maintain control better than we do.

On the plus side - we’re second, one point off top with a game in hand and surely we’re nowhere near the top of our game?

I don’t know why people think we have a right to go away from home and do that to anyone, it’s not how football tends to work. Especially against a side that had won 3 on the bounce including a 3-0 win away to Blackpool in their last match. They were always going to have spells of dominance. We’re ipswich ffs not Barcelona.

We commanded defence in the 2nd half is an alternative take on it, maybe they could or should have scored, but they didn't and that was by no fluke of the back line and, of course, Holy

Yet Doncaster came here and managed to maintain a semblance of control throughout the 90? Yes, we had our chances in the second half but they weren’t under prolonged spells of pressure.

Erm

So Donny controlled a game over 90 minutes and got a draw

We continue to work through games. Have high points. Low points but again walk away with 3 points.

Perhaps. Putting more ethos in attacking in stages means we aren't able to carry that ethos over 90 minutes. Does it matter if we win the game?

Odd isn't it.

A few decent results and suddenly we should be comfortably winning games.

It's like people forget just how bad we were last season with most of the same players.

Yep, the mentality takes time to change. We also had a number of players last night with very little football behind them in recent months, that's definitely part of the reason we were less good in the second half.

Also the opposition will tweak things to stop us playing if they have anything about them.

Yes, this "when are we going to play well for 90 minutes" stuff is already getting quite boring.

Why play well for 90 minutes when you can play well for 45 minutes and sh*t for the other 45 and still win games?

Thank god someone with a little bit of common sense about how the actual game of football tends to work.

This is a rather turgid league, everybody is scrapping for points, anybody can get results against anybody on any given day.

Yet we are 8 games unbeaten, by far the best defence in the league, 2nd in the league and a game in hand.

People are still finding things to question.

Because it's the same game and the same sport, no matter where you play it

To clarify, that's not necessarily my view, that's why I think people think we should be able to do that

We had Garbutt Huws Nolan and Keane on at one point last night all of whom are coming back from injuries so I suppose we can excuse a chugging second half performance on that basis. We do seem to be doing just enough at the moment with the team not hitting their straps fully but this may be down to Lambo's making changes every game.

I guess I expected us to be more on the front foot than we have been so far - I agree possibly an unreasonable expectation considering we’re fielding younger players alongside a handful who are returning from injury. We could easily have an extra four points on the board after dominating Sunderland in the first half and Norwood’s last gasp opportunity against Doncaster but, at the same time, we could have a lot less too. We’re in a very good position right now but I would like to see us push on in individual matches more than we’re doing so at the moment.

We were very good on the ball first half, and very good off it in the second half - barely conceding a chance.

I just recorded a Blue Monday pod where covered in more detail but surprised how negative some of the reaction was in the ground and since
