Every game now seems to be more important than the last because not only are we on a winning run, but the other teams above and around us keep picking up points and we need to keep going to break away or make ground up on others.
Scunthorpe however have not been their usual selves of the last few seasons which have been like us this season pushing for a playoff place, and are currently flirting with the relegation spots being fifth from the bottom of the league.
They have however a better away record than at home having won three and drawing two of their games on the road, add to that it being a local derby, and it is far from a given we will have an easy time of it. Stuart McCall will know more than most about our playing squad's ability having come up against us many times before, and will have done his homework being one of the managers we considered as a manager before appointing Grant, so will want to do well.
Their recent form has not been good having won only one of their last six league games and have lost their last three, the team undergoing many changes from even last season, and probably a much reduced playing budget being given to the new manager.
Can we keep our good form going?
Would you make any changes to the starting line up?
Is it the local derby that you look forward to the most?
Do you expect many Scunthorpe supporters to make the short journey to the Keepmoat?
Do you dread going in to work next Monday if we lose?
Will Wolfie visit every pub in Thorne seeking out Scunthorpe supporters if we win?
Lots to discuss please have your say

Well - beware the banana skin effect is what I am trying to subdue in my psyche
That one where we go into a game - on a great run - get a good Gate - against opponents we expect to just get steam rollered - and then aaaargh - "it" strikes back and we are all on here wondering how did that happen (be it a 0-0 or a single goal defeat
Lets hope it does not happen. They are on a very poor run and have announced another 2 injuries and look there for the taking
We in contrast seem to be very confident and should be having despatched Brizzle 4-0 (noticed the Pitch looked good).
So we should keep our good form going - I am interested to know how many might make the trip - as they used to come in great numbers but have been taking 200+ away for a few Games but might double that in a Stadium that they can sit in (and hopefully stay Seated)
As for looking to find Fans in Thorne I have only ever known one personally - believe he was their "Scout" - but
I have a former Player living just opposite me but he supports his other Club Terriers - so finding one at any time will be hard !
Hope we avoid the Banana Skin and sure we will !

I can't remember the last time Sunny looked so crap, on the face of it, heading into this derby. Our EFL Cup win in August was, by all accounts, a game we should've won by a far bigger margin than we actually did, and since then they haven't managed to find their feet even with fresh management.
We need to go out there and really put them to the sword.
-
Is it all ticket or can you pay on the gate
-
Don't forget 12-15 Kickoff.
-
The only tactical approach I can think of is let's batter them!
-
Is it all ticket or can you pay on the gate
Haven't seen owt to say it is all ticket.
-
I’m with Donny Wolf. Banana skin fear. It’s a derby and they should be up for it, but so will we!
Looking forward to this one.
-
Won’t be all ticket unless Scunny sell 4K. Until then no reason to buy in the home end
-
One thing is for sure, our manager and team wont be complacent going into the game.
Fans often fall into that trap but players tend not to.
We all hear the phrase "no easy games" and it is so true.
It would be great to hammer them but in reality I would be happy to squeeze out a win of any sort.
At the moment we have players available who can come into the team and make a difference if needed and that is standing up well.
Good to see Wilks get a couple of goals last weekend and like JM has done after not netting for a few games, he could go on a scoring run now.
I wouldn't expect lots of Scunny fans to make the trip.
Obviously they are having a tough time just now and only a few games ago some of our supporters said they weren't going to Barnsley because we had had a few bad results up to that match.
it would be good if they turn up in big numbers however as it always adds to the atmosphere in the ground.
-
9.5k crowd 8000 home fans 1.5k from Scunny our prices are reasonable. In fact what’s amusing their dump of an away end costs more to go to than ours.

Weve given them 1497 and they wont sell that out. Its half of their Home Gate from Gillinigham game after all
They have been taking around 250 away although we are closer of course. Peg them for 500 tops

And you have to actually go to Scunthorpe.
-
I'd love a good few more in the ground, but going on our last few home games, I'm not sure we'll get as many as 8,000 home fans. I agree about the 500 away fans as well.
-
Rovers can't really do much more to promote the game in terms of results, so let's hope for reasonable weather and a seasonal atmosphere, and I don't mean it's a time for giving!
-
Our form is good we haven’t had a home game for 2 and a half weeks by the time it comes around. It’s a local derby. I’d be very concerned if we don’t get more than 8k home fans.
-
I won’t be concerned..
An early kick off mucks up my whole day whereas I can make a 3pm game.. and there’s Christmas shopping too..
Had this been played on Friday night, I might have gone but there’s no chance now for me.

Agreed they are on poor form. Having said that they do like coming here so will no doubt be more up for it then usual.
-
They have won 2 out of the last 10 games at Keepmoat / Belle Vue.
-
Didn't we do the double over them for something like 7 years running until Ryan Murrant made that f**king video?
-
“Banter”
-

Yes - we were on a right roll - until that unfortunate "tempting of fate" did just that
Feels a bit like that now leading into this game but form should prevail :scarf: :bbscarf: :bscarf:

Same for me have to miss it because of work and early kick off.
Grrrrrr!!!!!

Forecast is cold on Saturday too. Can see it now, a frozen pitch that would've been fine at 3pm....

We’ve been there before, rember the Leeds Game a few years agao
-
Weather forecast is snow mostly on high ground but with a frost we have covers to cover -8 and I can't see it being that low
-
The game will be on. According to the free press there’s no trains from Scunny to Donny because of Northern rail. I thought Cleethorpes quick train stopped at Scunny and isn’t northern rail
-
Its Transpennine Express and will be running for them ! All Northern Services are wiped out on the Day on that
-
Weather forecast is snow mostly on high ground but with a frost we have covers to cover -8 and I can't see it being that low
Are you sure as I thought our covers worked up to -3 degrees.
-
They are at least -5 I will find out asy mate used to be on the ground staff and it was his job to know
-
-8 no hang on a minute it’s -5.
You getting figures wrong again 🙄
-

It doesn’t matter anyway, the bbc weather forecast shows it as a low of plus 6 degrees overnight.
-
Potential for light dusting of snow that looks far too north and west to affect us which then turns to rain - and as Hound says the Temp stays no lower than 6c
Game on !
-
We are in disarray! Sold 400+, but I'd be very surprised if there are many more than 650.
A big home win is on the cards. Honestly expecting us to be hit for four or five.
-
What has been the big change - money?
Scunny seem to have been there or thereabouts for a few seasons, now.
It's a detby game - anything is possible.
-
Someone said on here last season they'd heard if they didn't make it last season the owners were gonna reign in the spending.
I hope we give them a proper arse rattling.
-
Our approach to this game will be crucial, if we are not fully concentrated on our own game, and think we can do anything else but be at our best, we are likely to come a cropper.
We cannot in any way be complacent, we are not that good.
-
... and I was heartened to see GM & CB fielded a strong side v Scunny away in Cup game and had clearly motivated the "lads"
I expect the same and will be going for a 2-0 or 3-0 win. I have stopped factoring in "we will concede" into my thoughts (not that anyone will care) Better get on PvO now and record my "vote"
-

I think we are better than you imply, but otherwise I agree, we need to be on top of our game.
You could make the same point for every fixture.?
-
I doubt very much that the team or management will be taking the game anything but seriously.
There will be no complacency.
-
IDM, when I say we are not that good, I am not referring to football ability, but to the fact that we cannot mentally underestimate any team we come up against, I agree with Hound that the manager will be emphasizing the danger of taking a side who are out of form lightly, and football history is littered with teams whose egoes let themselves down by not taking a weaker side seriously.
A team has to have the right attitude, and concentration in a game, or they will not perform to their best ability in any game.
-
Fair enough, but I still maintain we need that attitude in every game regardless of the opposition..
-
If there's one game McCann and Byrne certainly know is important for us, it's Scunthorpe. They played in this derby enough times on the other side after all.
-

And got players sent off, Mcann got Oster sent off and Byrne got Quinton Fortune sent off in the same game, both scored in that game too

Aye someone posted Highlights t'uther day !

McCann and Byrne got them sent off! 😂😂
Had nothing to do with Oster causing McCann to need stitches in his face and Fortune coming in studs up over the ball then?!

Seem to recall Fortune being so late for the challenge he actually connected with McCann the day after.
-
Slight distraction on the run up to Saturdays games, just listened to a Barnsley fan on Tykes TV, prior to their match with Portsmouth. Bemoaning their loss of form. One lad said., "We need a leader in the middle of the park. Coppinger at Donny is a dinosaur, but I'd have him in my team!"
-
I think some of our fans take what Copps does for us for granted.
Supporters of other clubs often give him praise for his abilities and game changing skills.
-
Weather forecast is snow mostly on high ground but with a frost we have covers to cover -8 and I can't see it being that low
Latest forecast is High pressure clashing with Low Pressure producing snow in the North West.
For us it is nothing more that rain and the forecast shows we may start and finish the Game in totally dry conditions - or at worst finish in Light Rain
Go back to Car happy with a bit of luck

I certainly don't, he is the foil for so much that the team does, it has been a few years since the team were working on his wavelength, so many that have gone do not have the brain capacity to see what he was trying to get them to do, his football brain is absolutely superb!

How can Herbie Kane not be in that L1 team of the season.
-
Problem with this early kick off is risk of frozen pitch. Small, but it has been a rapid temperature descent. Quicker going down perhaps than Lewis Guy in the last few months of his contract.

I raised this issue, apparently it was done based on statistical analysis and Kane wasn't far off the team. Marquis only one point off too. I think it proves that stats aren't everything myself.

Latest forecast is +2 c overnight then + 1 until ko
High pressure clashing with Low Pressure producing snow in the North West and / or Scotland.
For us it is nothing more that rain and the forecast shows we may start the Game in totally dry conditions - and then from HT - 1pm we get Light Rain / Rain / Sleet

Even better then. Rain starts after the Game ends

-
The danger may be after the game ends, warnings on the A1 last night about freezing rain, normal rain until it hits the floor, then it freezes, drive carefully if you're a commuter to games.

Great to work Scunny over. A game largely ruined by an incompetent Ref (AGAIN) who seemed to think we had come to see him. However I have assassinated him on Rate the Ref
Great - get up and at them from the Kick off and going 2 up in 11 minutes or so is what Teams should do against a team low on confidence - we did but then did not go on to really screw them over
I laughed as 5 Fans of their came in late just as we scored and a few minutes later as it went 2-0 the same 5 left the Ground. :bbscarf:
Most of our Team did well and a few were in for MOTM. After going 2 up we just drifted out of the game for a while aided and abetted by "look at me" Ref Woolmer. We were more at it in the second Half and scored one Goal but we could have had more
For me the only down side (apart from the freezing conditions and the Ref ) were the Bookings again. True their left backs foul just before Half Time should have been a Yellow but JM should have resisted tripping their bloke a minute later when he was going nowhere - and when they all got involved BW should have kept his head as well. Both picked up Yellows - and for some it will show passion but for me they were needless Cards. Notice their Keeper who threw his weight around in the same incident and had his hands raised first did not get a Caution . Strange that
So well done again Rovers - convincing win - and badly done Ref - once again you were a complete idiot and your West Stand lino too
-
Same as what Wolfie said.
-
IMHO, Scunny played the football and we scored the goals. Lawlor had one save all game. We were very good for the first 20 minutes and then we just lost our way. JM’s goal killed the game.
Officiating - the worst I can remember! Inept doesn’t even touch the sides.

My lad stewards in the North Stand, he said three Scunny fans left the ground after 10 minutes 😂😂😂
-
Im confused at how the Club Doncaster website showed blocks on the South as sold out and there were empty seats still
-
The ref certainly wasn't a homer! Their no 20, Goode should have been in the book more than once.
-
Scunny had the best of the midfield areas but could not get the better of our back four.
Butler and Anderson were dominant there.
For some reason today we were unable to get the ball down and play our usual fluent passing game.
-
The ref was stop and starting play constantly when the Scunny players kept throwing themselves to the floor
-
The ref certainly wasn't a homer! Their no 20, Goode should have been in the book more than once.
Biggest sh*thouse I’ve seen come to Keepmoat since a certain Mr Kitson.
Reet boiled my p*ss with his diving antics, constant fouling, niggling at our players and his whining to the ref.
-
He nearly removed Butlers shirt right under the refs nose as the players were running back into position following an incident on the edge of the Scunny box in the second half.
Ref just waved it away as if nothing had happened.
-
Sunday league ref that guy
-
Another great three points, and the best start to a game we have made for a long time, and credit to Stuart McCall for changing their set up very early, and making it somewhat of a scrappy ill tempered affair of it after the first twenty minutes, not great to watch, but Scunthorpe did get a foothold in the game and competed.
The referee aided by the west stand linesman added to a bad tempered period in the game by being inconsistent and in some cases completely wrong in their decisions, so at least the game was not boring, although it must be said that Marquis and Whiteman's bookings were completely avoidable and needless. The inconsistency arising when the referee booked Kane for a bad tackle, and did not book a Scunthorpe player for a similar tackle, and that was not his only example of similar decisions.
After the opening excitement the game was a slog until Marquis finally put the result beyond Scunthorpe who had made a game of it after looking like they were in for a hammering.
My MOM Crawford while he was on the pitch, Anderson and Butler being solid all the game, Butler making a tremendous block to stop a certain goal in the second half.
A great result, if not the best display of football we have given this season, but we have goals in us from more than one area of the team, goals coming from shots outside the area from distance, something we were very reluctant to do in past seasons, let's hope we can keep it going and put the teams above us under pressure.
-
Didn’t think ref was totally atrocious. Couple of decisions he definitely got wrong but none of them serious. Wilks handled at one point and that was missed. Would give ref 6/10.
They could still be playing next week and not score. Not up to much going forward but reasonably best elsewhere.
We are very clinical these days.
-
Im confused at how the Club Doncaster website showed blocks on the South as sold out and there were empty seats still
It's unreserved seating in the south so how can they show blocks as sold out? Maybe it's there just to give an indication of the number of tickets sold.
-
Is it because they randomly show the seat numbers as being sold so they can indicate what space there is left in that area.
In the recent Black Friday sale the tickets were sold as seat numbers even though they were for the South Stand.
-
Did anyone see their number 7 (Lund I think) intentionally hit out at Alfie as he went to celebrate Marquis’ goal? Should have at least been in the book if not a red
Cynical set of niggling moaning gets. I hope they get relegated
-
Plymouth won today, not looking good for Scunny right now

It does show Blocks as sold out.
The tickets office must sell tickets one block at a time , even though people can sit anywhere they like.
-
I thought we were a very long way off our best today and we still won comfortably. It is a sign of a very good side that wins 3-0 and doesn’t play well.
Teams that can do that usually get promoted. :thumbsup:

They'll be playing a certain Status Quo song pre-kick off soon and I don't have to tell you which one
contains the words " down down deeper & down"
-
This game should dedicated to ALL those who wanted McCall at the Keepmoat, this what we could be playing like if you lot had your way 🥴
-
Hate to say it but they outplayed us today, at least up to our box. I thought we were very disjointed but ruthless with our chances
-
Anyone who thought the ref wasn’t bad today should pack in watching football
-
I wouldn't say they outplayed us, we just wasn't at our best
-
They had the best of the midfield possession but didn’t do enough with it to hurt our defence.
-
They didn't threaten our defence much at all; I can only remember Lawlor having to make one save. Yes, they had plenty of possession, but didn't do anything with it. They certainly didn't outplay us.
Anyone thinking we were crap today should have seen the displays at Burton and Charlton in the league.

Herman, have you seen the women on Strictly mate.

They dragged us in to a battle and it suited the, we did not need to do that, we just needed to play to our strengths and not get draw in, but if we do then we have to win ugly which we did a win is a win ia a win

So your the “ it wasn’t me” who thought McCall was a good fit here!!
-
I thought that he would have been a decent choice. We will never know
He might have one well with our squad and budget and GM might have struggled with Scunny's.
I'm just happy with how it's going.
-

Me too Idler, running up to xmas in 6th, playing well with confidence to beat the lower teams well and very competitive against the better ones. No goals against us in 4 games, 3 of them league games, whoo-hoo, apologies a bit over the top there but couldn't help it.
-
We could go up another gear, they couldn't! 3-0 at a canter really, just managing the game from 2-0 up., it was never going to be that pretty in those conditions!

In Wilks and Marquis we have two front runners who the opposition must hate to play against.
They are strong, can run with the ball, are constantly looking to upset the defender when not in possession, and score their fair share of goals,and are always willing to have a go with a shot.
Our problem is we have absolutely nobody to back them up as front runners.

You’ve been away for a week or so then.??
We signed apparently the best player from the Irish league - top scorer wasn’t he? And in the DFP the other day GM says he has a forward lined up on loan from a championship side..
Oh and we have a handful of midfielders contributing goals as well..
There was me thinking all was well having just comfortably beaten our rivals.??

IDM, I admit I had forgotten about the new signing altogether, that is definitely much needed as is holding on to Wilks and especially Marquis in January.
Hopefully Kiwomya can carry on with scoring goals at Chesterfield seeing as he is under contract next season I think. We do not lack Quality, we lack numbers with quality, especially up front, hopefully the new signing plus another striker will solve the problem, and increase competition, with players coming in who can cover our only two strikers who can actually score goals at league 1 level.

Second to Patrick Hoban.

We were joking in the East Stand that the Sunday league Referee decided to take two goals off us to help out Scunthorpe

Hate to say it but they outplayed us today, at least up to our box. I thought we were very disjointed but ruthless with our chances
I don't agree with you but it's not who is the better side its goals that count, how many times under SODdid we dominate games but lose, far to many times
