We’ve had a few “that must be the worst bench we’ve put out since being back in the football league” posts this season, but is that the worst (or, being kind, least experienced) starting XI? Certainly a bold move by McSheffrey but 2 rookies in the back 4, a midfield 3 including Hasani & Smith and Barlow supporting Cukur really doesn’t inspire me with any confidence. Hopefully the players getting a chance have done something to suggest they’re worth it in training and it turns out to be a master stroke.
-
Looking at that first 11 plus bench how any right minded supporter can think we will get a result tonight is beyond me injuries have devastated the squad.
He has had to rest Dodoo and Hiwula even though people think they are rubbish at least we can see what they will do from the bench if required. Let’s see what Bogle can do if required.
-
Wow that’s the worst line up I can remember in well over a decade. Sad times at DRFC
-

Two hours later and we're all leaving the Keepmoat with grins on our faces after we've beaten Oxford 3-0.
-
I fancy Barlow to knock one in tonight. I’d still be surprised if we get anything out of the game mind you.
-
That starting line-up looks like the most uninspiring forward line I’ve seen for many years.
-
Gillingham at Rovrum, Morecambe at Sunderland. 3 points and the tables going to look at lot better for us.
-
Looks like a very poor crowd. Something special needed in coming weeks to change this.
-

Correction: if Tommy is playing up front that gives me more hope.
-
Come on rovers
-
Cukur bleached his hair.I hope he has been working on his football more than his haircut
-
Maybe we're parking the bus somewhat but hope the lads can fight and make a good game of it.
-
Gillingham at Rovrum, Morecambe at Sunderland. 3 points and the tables going to look at lot better for us.
1-0 Gills. We can't catch a break!

Rovrum will still win that...
-
Fleetwood 1 - 0 Bolton
-
Fleetwood and gills both winning
-
0:1
-
0-1
Hasani not clearing the ball. Gifted it back to them.
-
Awful defending
-
Horrendous defending from all three of the lads there.
-
Well taken goal by Oxford went through the defence like knife through butter
-
Pissing shocking defending ,he won the ball say on his arse with 3 defenders around him
-
Comedy defending.
-
Was just about to say we had started quite well in the first 15 minutes and we’ve gifted them a goal.
-
4 red shirts around him.
-
Fair play for conceding a goal where their winger was on his arse with two of our players around him and then somehow playing in his team mate to stroll by another two players.
-
Awful defending
Lost count of how many times we’ve been guilty of that this season.
-
The south stand crèche have begun the were f**king shit chants
-
Hasani not a league player Knoyle not a right sided defender but needs must we’ve got no more players
-
Pathetic again
-
Their player has passed that ball while on his backside sitting off the pitch!
Comedy of errors.
Come on lads don’t let your heads go down.
-
Should be 2
-
Sack the fans in the South stand!!
-
3 at the back is killing us
-
I won’t be surprised if Oxford get three or more in this
-
No excuse for having young players that clearly are not ready for league football,let's hope the same mistakes are not made next year
-
Creche... now I'm fancying crepes for lunch.
-
What the f**k is Jones doing?
-
Cukur may as well not be on the pitch.
-
Was just about to say we had started quite well in the first 15 minutes and we’ve gifted them a goal.
Had we? I'm quite sure we haven't been in their penalty area yet, and can hardly string 3 passes together.
-
Cukur may as well not be on the pitch.
I’d sub him NOW for Bogle
-
Cukur! What a waste of a break, quite incredible.
Can’t even play a simple ball.
-
Jesus.26 minutes.cukur gets the ball in an attacking position.easy pass to left left.completely over hits it . Ffs. Basic stuff.
-
Cukur is completely unable to get goal side of a player when defending.his positioning and awareness are just awful
-
South stand now singing Omar bogle baby?
-
Was just about to say we had started quite well in the first 15 minutes and we’ve gifted them a goal.
Had we? I'm quite sure we haven't been in their penalty area yet, and can hardly string 3 passes together.
It’s all relative isn’t it?
The first 15 minutes we were doing ok.
The second 15 minutes we haven’t.
-
Was there a typo and we thought we were loaning Davor Šuker, who at 53 is still a better option.
-
Currently bottom of the table on worst goal difference
-
1/3 game. Not a single shot
-

Well that's what I mean. I don't think we were doing okay, we just weren't making massive mistakes. The expected standard from us all has dropped massively over this past few months.
-
Olowu must be watching a different game.he reckons there is not a lot in this game. Attacking wise, they are all over us.
-
good spell this
-
Really poor from that section of fans - embarrassed
-
1/3 game. Not a single shot
We have had 2 according to the bbc..
-
Get cukur off.put bogle on.
-
I don’t get pleasure from jumping on a bandwagon but Cukur offers absolutely nothing.
He really is a waste of a shirt.
Can’t believe I’m saying it but please get Bogle on.
-
No excuse for having young players that clearly are not ready for league football,let's hope the same mistakes are not made next year
Much of our problems this season are down to injuries, not sure how that comes under “mistakes”.?
-
Understand why Wellens couldn't bring Bogle back after exiling him. But he is of course better than Cukur so even if it's till Jan i'm glad he's back and hope he's going to get some game time
-
Jones got lucky.
-

[/quote it's been the same all season not filling the bench or having the kids on bench, we had something like 6 trialists playing the game before the season started it's wrong it's not how a professional club should be run
-

He means the mistake of an unknown person signing six young players before the manager could assess them.
-
And I mean that the young players would only be on the fringe of the squad if it wasn’t for the huge amount of injuries..
-
Gillingham at Rovrum, Morecambe at Sunderland. 3 points and the tables going to look at lot better for us.
1-0 Gills. We can't catch a break!
Rovrum will still win that...
Millers now 2-1 up! Things are now looking better. :)
-
What the f**k is Jones doing?
Probs doesn't help some fans are singing "You shit bas**rd ahh" to him.
-
Galbraith, Rowe Anderson credit. Putting in a shift.
Comical defending for the goal.
Could be three down.
Cukur offers nothing. Wasteful. Clueless.
-

They are only telling the truth are they not?

Sorry, I’ll make sure next time to say “I thought we were doing ok for the first 15 minutes ... but obviously not as well as when we beat Aston Villa in the League Cup”.
-
Pissing shocking defending ,he won the ball say on his arse with 3 defenders around him
then you get idiots saying he is offside,sun right tools
-
If Cukor comes out for the second half, I will be forced to self harm.
I have seen some shite watching Rovers, but there is a limit.
There is shite with effort, and shite without!
-

It may be true but is it likely to increase the team's performance?
The answers no btw.
-
H.T. 0-1
-

Moron.
Only telling the truth.
They are only telling the truth are they not?
-
3 at the back is killing us
definitely too much space in behind and brown channels
-
Rubbish again, not unexpected. Not sure what more mcsheffrey can do. He's at least trying to tweak things. Looked better when we went to a back 4. Blythe looks well out of his depth and Cukur is just Cukur. May as well bring Bogle/Dodoo on and go old school long ball.
-

You can't polish a turd.
-
This has to be the worst starting 11 in football league history? Our 2 wing backs are getting absolutely terrorised, the midfield have no options and the front 3 arent pressing together or making runs when we do have the ball.
-
Oxford 72% possession
Rovers Aerial duels won 27%. I would fancy winning one header in four.
-

“Brown channels,” donnievic? :lol:

What’s the point in going to support your team if you’re going to chant nonsense like that.
I’ve said it before some of our supporters are an embarrassment

Almost as embarrassing as the team!
-
Hiwula and Dodoo on
-
Cukur off, thank heavens.
But Dodoo on, not Bogle.
-
Back four. That should stem the tide down the right
-
Hiwula done more already than cukur all first half
-

Excuse me whilst I pull up my soap box but I think thats irrelevant. I was fortunate and unfortunate enough to be a teenager on the Pop in the mid/late 90's so you can imagine I saw it all from Colin Cramb, Paul Birch and (dare I say it) Darren Moore to David Smith, Paul Conlon and the Esdailles.
In all events the players came out to a rousing "Doncaster, Doncaster, Doncaster" chant and then we ran through a 1-11 chant for each player. Occasionally we'd give a bit of grief to the opposition fans and some light hearted chat with an opponent like Dean Saunders or Phil Stant. Whilst the future was bleak the support was unwavering and the humour was gallows.
This "banter" age of going after opposition players, opposition fans and amazingly our own players and academy players just leaves me indifferent tbh. I don't advocate blind support of all we do and all the players on here but I just sense some fans are rocking up these days and are licking their lips at the prospect of sticking a proverbial knife into someone.
-
Didn’t look offside to me that Oxford goal
-
Great goal. Big let off
-
Big let off for hasani
-
great save from jones
-
Well played dodoo
-
Much better this half
-
Crewe 1 - 0 Lincoln
That’s not good for us
-
Crewe winning
-
As it stands rock bottom. 6 pts adrift
-
Crewe now 2-0 up with Lincoln down to 10 men as well now
-
Lincoln getting relegated also would offer some comfort
-
Hiwula needs shooting practice
-
Looks like it got a deflection
-
Another let off
-

Oh relax Pancho, no need is there. You thought we did okay for a time there, I don't.
-
Here comes Bogle
-
Bogle coming on.
-
Bogle on
-
The stage is set
-
RW will be squirming
-
The stage is set…
…for him, at last, to start earning his very decent salary…nothing less than a hat-trick to prove his critics wrong!
-
Shows how bad this season been when we are getting excited because Bogle is coming on.
-
1:1
-
Get in
-
Yesssss !!!!!
-
wtf
-
Branden scores
-
Get in!
-
Yesssss !!!!!
Who? Bogle?
-
Shows how bad this season been when we are getting excited because Bogle is coming on.
He made a big contribution to the continuity of that attack for goal.
-
Two in two, well done Branden and some say he will be playing for Frickley in a few years!.
-
Yesssss !!!!!
Who? Bogle?
Horton
-
Branden scores
BBC website says Horton.
-
f**king get in. Bogle helped that on too.
-
Good team goal
-
Get in. Just needed to hang in the game long enough what we've struggled with all season. oxford missing so many chances helps like. Another now and i'll go mad
-
Great finish... Branden's magic boots.
-
Come on Rovers get a winner.
-
Lovely finish that was.
-
Ref's a bit of a cnut
-
Yesssss !!!!!
Who? Bogle?
Horton
Thanks, SR!
-
Ref's a bit of a cnut
Why’s that, PDX_R?
-
Andy Butler is in the stands watching tonight.
-
Now only 5 points from safety…ignoring goal difference, of course!
-
Bogles looks reasonably fit
-
Andy Butler is in the stands watching tonight.
Wasn’t it a charity collect for women’s team tonight so must have stayed to watch
-
Open end to end game, probably from a lack of quality more than anything but at least its entertaining, and at least there's a bit of fight from Rovers tonight.
-
Another let off
-
1:2
-
Millers now lead 4-1.
-
ffs
-
oof
-
1-2
-
f**k
-
Aw well excitement over
-
agggh but it's not a capitulation. That's a start
-
Too easy. Mind you, Henry's always been quality.
-
Cruel stuff.game over.
Some promise there.
But when you are down, you get kicked .
-
We don’t capitulate at home do we
-
bottom, 6 points off safety with a massive goal difference disadvantage. What a challenge we face to stay up.
-
Much, much better this half despite the second Oxford goal.
-
FT
-
We really need to win on Saturday. Anything else and I fear we’ll have to much to do
-
And what about the crowd in the second half? Did they finally show their support?…well, sort of?
-
Not an unexpected result.
Still, there are some positives.
-
I thought there was fight from Rovers in the 2nd half but still the same lack of quality.
-
It’s over. This season is over. Barring some Roy of the rovers stuff.
-
Second half was the kind of performance we need to show each week now.
Thought we were very good against a very good side,
Dodoo made a massive difference
Get that clown sent back to Watford
-
A much better 2nd half, be interesting to see how we will spend the extra money in January as we wiil have to spend on transfer fees unless more loans
-
It’s over. This season is over. Barring some Roy of the rovers stuff.
Don’t be silly,
It’s 6 points,
-
I hope Oluwu’s back on Saturday, if only to keep him off I-follow.
“What do you make of that Joseph?”
“Not much to say really”.
Oh, right.
-
No doubt showed some fight but think we need to be realistic, the players we have are nowhere near league 1 standard. Only player out there tonight that meets that criteria is Rowe. The rest are league two players
-
We need Wigan to beat shrews tomorrow and then we have to win that game on sat. We’ve an extra days recovery. Lose that and it’s likely to be 9 points to safety.
-
Looking from the perspective of what the Rovers have been through to this point that was a good effort and an entertaining second half, the first half they showed signs that they were not going to send up the white flag and the second half Oxford spent most of the time inspecting the turf.
-
Is it likely morecambe will win away at Pompey?
-
3 at the back is killing us
definitely too much space in behind and brown channels
“Brown channels,” donnievic? :lol:
sorry fingers were cold lol
-
It’s over. This season is over. Barring some Roy of the rovers stuff.
Don’t be silly,
It’s 6 points,
The goal diff makes it 7. Can you honestly see this side getting 37 points from 26 games? 1.5 pts per game? Current points tally puts us at 0.65 pts per game.
Quite literally rovers have to get over twice the points per game from here on in that they have managed so far. That does not sound like much, but it is.
-
Jones got lucky.
with wot???
-
Jones got lucky.
with wot???
I assume he meant handling outside the box and getting a yellow.

-

He made a save in the first half where he parried it down. It went back between his legs and hit his near post before he dropped on it.

oh right not sure wot else he could of done apart from head or punch it out,was never gonna stay in his his area and wasn’t denying a goal scoring opportunity so yellow was correct
-

He made a save in the first half where he parried it down. It went back between his legs and hit his near post before he dropped on it.
Also made a great save in second half.
And played well
-

“What do you make of that Joseph?”
“Not much to say really”.
Oh, right.
His go to saying was “100%”
The charisma of a house brick.the most dulcet of tones.
Surely I follow can do better.
-
Danny Amos available still?
-
Danny Amos available still?
At Port Vale.
-
1st half - dogshit
2nd half - much better. Played further up the pitch and caused them problems. Exquisite from Bogle for our goal. Killed it dead & ghosted past their man like he wasn't there before finding Brandon.
We're still in this league. Let's back the boys.
-
Hasani not a league player Knoyle not a right sided defender but needs must we’ve got no more players
Lirak is not a league right back or a right wing back, he needs to play in midfield for us to see the best of him.

Sorry Bessie he not a league player yet whether he plays midfield or not he could develop but I’m not sure.
