Just really noticed on how far they seem to behind rovers/ Plymouth
today.
Before christmass it was a three horse race for automatic promotion
with Carlisle > Plymouth > rovers with carisle sat at the top.
By looks today it's a safe bet they will not be having a automatic promotion spot by end of season .
Seem to recall that when they played at KMS you lot was saying that they was one of the better teams rovers have played .
So what's the reason why they are in a free fall at the moment ?
See they got mullered at home by the donkey lashers ( rovers bogey team this season) yesterday 1 > 4 .
If the downfall that has happened could any team at the top suffered the same type of downturn ?
While Iam on about carisle ,don't be supprised if any rovers fans at the game on Tuesday night notice some fans from Scotland in the away end.
Said fans will be Motherwell fans who have a strong connection to Doncaster rovers after Charlie from Thorne had a drinking session with some Motherwell lads in mid 1980s .
Was found town with a few Motherwell lads back in the mid 1980s and went up there with about 12 rovers lads and had a great time even thou the Celtic game at fir park was called off.
I know for a fact that a few of the Motherwell lot have bought rovers shirts over the years but the only downfall for them that it is very close to their local rivials kit Hamilton .
Was selling scarfs at a norway v Scotland game few years back and when this group of Motherwell / Scotland fans all about 25 to 30 years my younger were all over us when I told them I was from Doncaster ,could not buy a drink for love or money.

Keith Curle is in charge. They were never going to stay at the top for very long with him steering the ship.
-
They've lost Charlie Wyke and I think another of their key men has been injured.
-
I don't think that they have strength in depth. A good first eleven but now list their leading scorer.
I think that their consistency has now gone.
-
Chuffin ell, I hope this is not gonna put kiss of death on Tuesday night!
-
I think that they will still get some good results but be far more up and down.
Tuesday is a fame that they need to win far more than us. The pressure is on them more than us. I'm sure that we will be well prepared.
We have shored up the defence and only failed to score in two league games, a tough opponent for any side in this league.
-
Think that lad Kennedy is injured as well,he was scoring a few I think
-
Same thing that happened to us last year but we went down rather than missing out on promotion.
-
For some reason I allways took Keith curl as a decent manager .
Did not know that have lost a couple of their main players
on wards and upwards for Tuesday nite then ,nothing less than 3points will do since they are having a mare at the moment.
1 > 3 to rovers

Poor defence, shipping goals.
-
Had a poor defence all season and haven't managed to tighten it up. We've shown in a few games sometimes it's not the forwards day and you take a draw and move onto the next one.
If you keep leaking goals the forwards aren't allowed a bad night. Injuries and a small squad where the games are catching up with them because they play mostly the same team.
The way the game is now your substitutes are really important.
-
On their web site Mike Jones who is back after eight week lay off with an ANKLE INJURY (Are you reading DF) says they got a good dressing room and he is buzzing and they are looking forward to putting Saturday behind them with a good result. Lots of propaganda on their twitter site
-
The match will be played on grass though, not a Twitter site.
It doesn't matter what is written it's up to our lads to prove that they deserve to be top and want to stay there.
