World News – GB – Doncaster Rovers 2-1 Ipswich Town – Half-time – Ipswich Town News

An own own goal by Joe Wright gave Town the advantage at Doncaster, but Cameron John and skipper Ben Whiteman gave the home side a 2-1 at half-time on the Blues

City boss Paul Lambert made a change from the squad that beat Accrington 2-0 on Saturday with Jon Nolan replacing Teddy Bishop, who fell off the bench in midfield Forward Oli Hawkins, who missed the weekend game with a groin problem, was also among the subs

Lambert started his first three as they moved into the second half on Saturday with Freddie Sears in the middle, Gwion Edwards on the left and Alan Judge on the right

Doncaster made two changes from the squad that beat Portsmouth 1-0 at Fratton Park on Saturday with former Town Target veteran James Coppinger and Reece James moving to the bench, while Matt Smith and Josh Sims made their full debut after being substituted against Pompey

After players took a knee to support Black Lives Matter, the Blues dominated possession in the opening two minutes

Sears won a seventh minute corner kick for Town after a good job from Edwards and Emyr Huws on the counterattack and flag kick, the ball came off briefly, but a Rovers player and the home team managed to break

At nine o’clock, Huws advanced the ball halfway through Doncaster’s half-time but scuffed his shot at Doncaster goalkeeper Josef Bursik

Neither side had been able to create a more serious chance than this in an evenly balanced opening spell until the Blues passed just in the quarter of an hour

Skipper Chambers won a header to the right on a long kick from Tomas Holy, then barged in on Judge’s return pass before sending a low cross that Joe Wright turned into his own net in front of Sears

There was a big scare for the Blues in the 21st minute when Holy scratched a forward pass to the Sims not far from the area Nsiala crossed quickly for a big challenge, then Smith threw a shot

But Town saw most of the ball and passed it confidently In the 26th minute, Sears and Judge combined on the edge of the box and the Ireland international shot into Bursik’s arms

However, in the 28th minute, the Rovers equalized their first shot of the game after an extended period of assists in half town

Eventually, with Nsiala and James Wilson having gone to get the same ball outside the penalty area, Smith played Cameron John in the space to the right of the area and the former Wolves trainee found the net under the closed off

Having only conceded for the third time in the league this season, the Blues tried to restore their lead On 33, a center judge from the right was directed straight into the air by a defender from Doncaster in front of Bursik but the ball failed to fall nicely for Town

Two minutes later at the other end, Madger Gomes hit a low shot that didn’t fly too far

And in the 37th minute, the home side took the lead in a bit of a bizarre fashion A short left corner was played to Sims and then Whiteman, who sent a ball into the penalty area from the midfield who slipped past everyone and bounced past Holy to his left and into the net

Town was late for the first time in the league this season without previously conceding twice in one game The rovers continued to push past their second goal, with a dangerous ball from the left flying through the zone

In the 40th minute the judge hit the wall with a free kick not far from the area and Chambers couldn’t shoot anything from the lost ball

Two minutes later the judge found Huws at the edge of the area from which the Welshman hit a powerful volley over the bar

Town made his way through the tunnel behind at the break for the first time in the league this season

Having started well and put the nose forward, the Blues conceded two disappointing goals against a team of Rovers who had not previously seemed threatening

The two center halves were shot into the same area for the former after Doncaster was allowed to hold the ball for a long time, while the latter should never have found his way into the net
