CITY V ROVERS

[finley]

Interesting game this one.Having lost Tuesday to Fleetwood City will be keen to get back to winning ways but that will be easier said than done.Donny have beaten us at Valley Parade already this season in knocking us out of the league cup and will fancy there chances,they do seem to play better away from the Keepmoat.Thankfully Charlie Wyke is fit,it showed on Tuesday how much poorer as a team we are without him.Dom Poleon should also be back having been rested midweek.Narrow City win for me 2-1.

We were far the better side Tuesday and should have won. We need to sort out the concentration lapses and then we should start winning. Hoping for a draw but expecting to lose by one.

If we play like we did in the first half on Tuesday we will struggle. If we defend like we did in the second half we will also struggle. I agree with finley in that Wyke def needs to play if fit. Difficult task for McCall with regards to the defence as we've been pretty solid recently but we were a shambles at times on Tuesday. Could see NKP getting a rest and Thompson playing RCB with Kilgallon going to LCB.

Not saying this Raeder lad is any good (I don't think anyone except Edin has watched him play) but it would have been interesting if Doyle had got a red (as he probably should have) as he would have had to play. It's all moot as Doyle won't be dropped.

Bugger me I thought it was the derby back on.

Granted you were on top in the first half but that's not a view I've seen aired by any of your other fans, or any of our fans who watched the game

We should have put four past you first half only inept finishing and a poor pass when it was easier to score stopped us. Second half was more even. I wasn’t saying your a bad side far from it we just should have had the game won by half time which is probably why you’re top and we are near the bottom

The much smaller City and Rovers mate, should've been included in the title.

Have they started playing football in the south west now? I'm sure the world will watch as Bristol Sport FC take the top flight by storm.

Hopefully get back to winning ways here, I'll go 2-1 with us hanging on late on.

It's obvious you were winding up, does that mean I can't give any back then?

Sorry, I'm such a massive silly head.

Any respectable Doncaster Rovers fan will be hoping for a heavy Bradford win today

Going well so far then Charlie Wyke has been emmence.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Even game really, not a classic, but not terrible just very mediocre. We managed to take our chances and had more quality from crosses, not much else to say on the match.

Except the ref was one of the worst I've seen in a long while, probably worse than the Rotherham game and that's saying something. Shirt pulling and elbowing seems to be Donnys number one tactic and the ref let them get away with it every time, a bit of diving thrown in first half for good measure.

 

[Mighty_Bantam]

Comfortable win in the end without playing well. Donny never threatened. Ref was criminally poor. May and Marquis in particular more interested in hitting the floor than actually playing. Marquis' dive when through one on one in the first half was all sorts of embarrassing.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Heads went down straight after the first goal went in, no fight, no leader, no strike force. Abject
