00:00Bristol Rovers head coach Inigo Calderon has made clear that his side were not ready to

00:06face a Premier League team in Ipswich town in the third round of the FA Cup. He expanded

00:12by saying it came too early during his time in charge of the GAS. He added that they did

00:18try to play with an identity against Ipswich but unfortunately could not keep the ball

00:23long enough meaning that defensive work was needed for the majority of the time.

00:28However, Calderon did believe that the game was a good learning session for his team but

00:34made clear that it took too long for them to get going in the first half. The GAS sit

00:3820th in League 1 and have won just one of their last nine matches in all competitions

00:44which was a win against Cambridge United away from home in League 1. This record will have

00:49to improve greatly if they are to stay in League 1 and not drop back into League 2,

00:54something which no GAS supporters will want to imagine.
