Rovers have had a few calamitous moments at the back and that was one of them. Gillingham the much better side at the moment.

He's upfront. May is on the right wing and Gomes on the left (although they've switched at least once).

Cracking finish by Sadlier but he certainly isn't a striker.

Not been a great game so far, we've had very little in the final third.

Let's not write us off though, we didn't start brilliantly against Southend last season.
Title: Re: T.L.O.Doncaster Rovers Vs Gillingham
Post by: Copps is Magic on August 03, 2019, 03:53:09 pm
Well, my thoughts on the 1st half:

Gillingham the better team, they look sharper, taller, and stronger.
Rovers play has ALL comes through Copps. He's the only creative player there which is worrying.
Sadlier was completely out of the game until his goal. Poachers finish, and a good one.
Forward line up is too small (Sadlier, May, Coppinger). Unless its on the deck we have no chance (this must be a real concern for Moore).
Defensively we've had a few shaky moments (but could be early season jitters)
Stand out player for Rovers has been Copps, with Sheaf looking very solid.
Sheaf is doing the job we previously saw Whiteman doing so I don't know what Whiteman's role is now really.
Gomes looks off the pace to me, sloppy passing, mis controls, and blowing out of his arse I noticed in the last 5/10 minutes.

until the goal I was really worried, hopefully the turning point.

Post by: IDM on August 03, 2019, 03:56:57 pm
It’s the first game though and we are still building the squad.. Anderson and Copps standing out for me..  Gomes not looking great yet - but it’s unfair to be too critical this early..

Post by: Bristol Red Rover on August 03, 2019, 04:05:10 pm
That was a brilliant goal (vid attached here), Copps and Sadlier in tune and the most sweet and perfect execution from both.

Copps was given some time on the ball there, I imagine Evans will be giving instruction to close him down quick, and hard. I fear for an injury.

First half we were very disjointed without many ideas.

Second half was much better. Played some good stuff and could have grabbed a winner.

Overall a decent point given the lead up to the season

Post by: PDX_Rover on August 03, 2019, 04:58:00 pm
Good second half. Gillingham were hanging on the last 15. Not going to judge any of the players badly at this stage. Alfie gets better. Ennis looks some prospect. He put a great sliding tackle in, and played a sublime cross field ball. He’s a big lad too. I’m reasonably happy all things said.

Didn’t look from where I was sat like it was going into the corner and looked a bit central as the keeper didn’t seam to have to dive for it. Either way, the build up run from him was excellent and deserved a goal
