Is this definitely on iFollow then?
Two changes for Rovers, Jones has a muscle injury and is on the bench, Dahlberg starts. Gardner's injury sees Williams in to defence and Rowe pushed further forward.
Ellis Harrison debuts up front for Fleetwood. Troublesome!
ROVERS: Dahlberg, Knoyle, Olowu, Williams, Horton, Galbraith, Smith, Rowe, Barlow, Hiwula, Bogle.
FLEETWOOD: Cairns, Hayes, Clarke, Biggins, Andrew, Johnson, Batty, Johnston, Lane, Camps, Harrison.

Good news we have a few more bodies back from injury, particularly looking forward to see what Seaman can do who was one of the brighter lights before his injury.
As good a team as we can hope for, just a pity Jones has a knock.
Hope we can last the pace and earn a much needed 3 points.
-
The game in general, how scary it was that taking out Gardner Bogle and Barlow caused such a collapse
Sounds like 3 loanees will be going back, Vilca, Cukur and reading between the lines Dahlberg
Nothing imminent transfer wise before Fleetwood
How he believes a DoF isn’t a bad idea
and here me thinking there is no way Jones will start in goal against Fleetwood
ifD ahlberg goes back then we obviously need an emergency loan goalkeeper
we did this trick a few times when Jones as the No.2 had never made his debut
that third goal was an absolute fluke the way it bounced off the player onto their forwards toe end
thank goodnes sense and sensibility has finally taken charge and Dahlberg is back in gal and also in goal
-
Jones has a muscle injury, and is on the bench presumably because if worst comes to worst, Jones on one leg is in theory better than an outfield player on two legs.
-
Just had a bet on a fleetwood win so hopefully I’ll lose that and we get the 3 points we desperately need
-
We should have been in for Harrison
-
Think the audio is behind the video on iFollow, for me at least.
-
thanks for not reporting that fleetwood had the ball in the net but disallowed and Rovers defence is "shakey"
-
audio actually ahead on mine , strange

Sorry yes that's what I meant, video behind the audio.

Thanks?

The defence has been shakey all season so this is nothing new?
-
Gills two down already. This is good.
-
Need Oxford to dump the gimps.
3 pts today would make the bottom of the table a lot more positive
-
2 good saves from Dahlberg already.
-
Gills 3 down now
-
Fleetwood shouldn't be wearing red shorts and socks with red tops. What's the point of away kits that still clash.
Not a big issue I know but it brasses me off.
-
Lacklustre stuff from Rovers and being played straight through over and over again.

To be honest, the red Fleetwood shorts have shown up how our kit isn't actually red. It's like a cherry, off-red.
I think that was the first time we've put the ball in the opposition box. Not that we actually touched it once it got there.
-
This audio sync is awful

They're working to fix it now apparently.

I'm loving that it's the audio that's the gripe. That must be an improvement!

Nowt else to talk about ! Take that as u want
-
Fleetwood first to every loose ball, winning every 50/50
-
corner totally wasted there
-
Can't wait for the dvd of this one.
-
This is genuinely one of the most pointless games of football I have ever, ever watched.
-

No laughing, I hope it is a joke?!!!
-
They are technically much better than us. They are faster than us by a mile. They are winning the ball far far more often than us. They are splitting us apart and in our box often and only Pontious has kept us from conceding I reckon.
The few times we have got forward have fizzled to nothing.
The excuse at the start of the season about the players not knowing each other is wearing thin but they still look like a bunch of strangers.
-
:rtid:My broken leg is not as painful as watching this
-
It’s quiet in here again today, a bit like the Sunderland game. Subdued, a bit like the on pitch performance.
-
I gave up on the commentary and have been watching in silence. I hope they get it fixed for the second half.
Regarding the game, I think this side would struggle in League 2.
-

Come on, RA, it’s not pointless at all. Think positive: we’ve got a point already, haven’t we? :facepalm:
-
Looking at the positives we haven't conceded and we might grab a winner in an even scrappier second half.
-
We should have been in for Harrison
Only reason they've been able to get him is because they've just recd over a million for one of their players from Bournemouth. We wouldn't have been able to afford him.
-
Maybe try Tommy off Bogle at centre forward as I don't think he's had a go at that position yet.
-
We all know this group will never be good enough so whilst the effort from the team is there why the f#ck would you boo them off when we are well in the game? The fight is there which proves to me that we will improve under GM when signings are made. Bogle showing he can still play football and even Hiwula has made a slide tackle. This is where we are at so deal with it. Do NOT boo at 0-0. Pathetic.
-
We’re letting them have way too much space especially on the right wing and through the middle. A goal from them is inevitable unless we plug those gaps in the second half but as I said they are faster and better than us so it’s a tall order. I sincerely hope I’m wrong.
-
Was it v Fleetwood a few years back that the highlight video was kick off and final whistle.
This is looking very similar

Yep - oh for the days where we could laugh about nothing happening in a game!
-
oh well.
-
0-1
-
It's OK we can bring on cukur....
-
A new signing giving a team a lift...
-
There is the difference they lose a player and immediately sign someone else
-
At home. 53 mins. Not one shot on target.
1 shot off target, to their 10.

I've decided to spice up this second half by taking a covid test.

-
Horton further up the pitch isn't working, and means we're wasting Rowe at LB. Needs changing asap
-
Not long now!
-
Another embarrassing performance against a poor team.
-
Lincoln winning also.
I admire Anyone who does not think this season is now dead and buried.
9 points adrift as it stands.
-
We need replace Horton from midfield far to slow might as well put dodoo there
-
Are we playing 3 at the back as the BBC suggests?
-
What’s the management going to do to try and sort this out as it’s shocking , Tommy at left back and Horton on left wing WTF are they thinking
-
Lincoln's latest goal scored by the lad they signed on New Year's Day.
-
Take a look at Bali mumbas goal for posh later on. Now that’s what I call a loan signing. We get Cukur.
-
I couldn't make the game today as I'm cleaning black mould out the garage. Fair to say I've gone for the more entertaining option.
-

yes
-
That was handball from the GK
-
Def pen that.
-
Takes only player off who is putting any effort in
-
Oil banks has just scored possibly one of the best third rd fa cup goals ever against Barnsley. Wow.
-
100% pen to them...not given. Crazy bad reffing. Luckily.

It is indeed negative, in case you were waiting for the result :P
-
Some wonderful football stories out there today. Kiddy just levelled against reading. Port vale putting up a fight against Brentford. Borehamwood going thru to rd4 as it stands.
It just deepens my despondency around the complete lack of anything at my club at the moment.
-
Oh f**k off Hiwula
-
Will these players come now if we lose today 9pts off safety with hard games to play.
-
Get Hiwula away from this club ASAP.
-
Hiwula … just speechless watching that bloke attempt to play football
-
It's hard to see any humour today... we are depressingly bad.
-
Takes only player off who is putting any effort in
Barlow had to go off, on a booking and still committing daft fouls.
-
This won’t help the push for quality in new signings. Who would want to be part of this team?
-
Some clarity here at least.
It's now definitely a case of building a side to compete in Div 4 next season.
-
Crowd 5648
-
Cambridge 1-1 at the mighty Newcastle. Lol.
-
1 win 5 losses after this for GM , team is shit yes but the he set us up today and it’s not good enough Horton on left wing ? We will loose next 8 games now and that’s season over can he still have a job after that if we are down by March ?
-
Imagine we released Lokilo because he wasn't good enough for this team... he'd look like Messi compared to this lot.
Poor Cameron John on commentary... you can tell he's holding back what he wants to be saying!

The better quality 4th tier players who will miss out on promotion but have been there or thereabouts all season……
-
9 points from safety as it stands. Horrific but exactly what the club deserves.
-
Zero shots.

Of course!

It's effectively 10 points due to goal difference.
With the teams above the drop having games in hand.
With us having an horrific run of games.
Start planning for League 2 now. Get rid of GM. Sorry but not the answer, we're going backwards.

I think our Goal Difference of -28 means we are 10 points off safety.

Changing managers relentlessly won't achieve much.
He's only been in the job five minutes and he's inherited all the same problems the last two managers have faced.

The board will do nothing. We're sleepwalking and have been for years.

I don’t think putting Rowe left back was the best decision

Of course!
Do u honestly believe that or is your lv for your team blinding your judgment
-
Even Robbie laying into some of the players now … we must be bad!
-
Nah we’re down aren’t we. Can only hope next season we can turn this horrible run round, regroup and come back stronger. This game is just awful
-
Fleetwood full of shithousery. But Rovers have been abysmal. Devoid of any purpose. We all know who the weak links are and those who can’t be arsed. McSheffery’s hands are tied by injuries until we bring players in…
Sad times indeed.
-
Nor putting Rowe in this midfield is beyond baffling. Can anyone see the logic in this decision?
-
Well that about puts the tin hat on it for me …. We bring Cukur on … jeeeez.
-

Its because Horton got tore a new arsehole in the 2nd half against Morecombe. And to be fair to Horton, he can cross the ball well, be he's done none of that today. He's not been good engou.
-
Unlucky from Seaman. Good save.
-
Can't understand why gm could not see that Rowe was wasted at left back, nothing has changed but that's what you get when appointing a manger with no experience
-
Wow, words fail me to describe this squad.
-
Wow, words fail me to describe this squad.
I’m going to select one expletive that sums it all up for me.
Disgusting.
-
No getting away from it, that was yet another dreadful performance and another nail in the coffin as we slide to what is becoming more and more likey a drop to League 2
-
Lacklustre all round. No idea in the final third (when we get there), too much pumping long balls, not enough support round the ball when we get it upfield and a lot of wrong decision making when we do get forward.
Galbraith always seems in control. Seaman looked bright. Too many giving the ball away too easily.
The ref should have got hold of their time-wasting. At least 5-10 occasions where he could have dished a yellow out for it.
-
I need a distraction from this awful situation we're in so.....In other news wtf is happening at Oakwell ? 5 goals in the last 12 mins and it's 4-4 v Barrow !!

I don’t really love Doncaster Rovers, they are 90 mins escapism on a Saturday, however I have been an avid watcher since 1974….
But you have stated that the manager should be sacked if we are down by March, and I disagree!
Firstly he hasn’t had the opportunity to bring anyone in yet, and that itself will be a problem due to our current position…
Secondly why would we sack our manager after 2-3 months in charge, that’s just daft
You are like a lot of fans on here that can see exactly where we are, and more importantly where we are heading….you know why we are losing every game and can’t see a solution to stop it…….. im the same , however I choose not to state it after every game…..
I’ve been fairly confident since the first game that this was not going to be our year, and though I have never wanted my team to be relegated , I feel this is our time!

Decisions like this are not exactly setting the alarm bells off but are worrying already. We needed a goal & more impetus, leaving Rowe at left back was ridiculous, should have been pushed up at the start of the second half.

Definitely given the amount of times Horton gave the ball away. I get he's learning his trade but Rowe would have been better used further forward.

Then who goes at left back? You don't want someone who's constantly giving the ball away there?

Valid point. Watching that today, he seems a liability, but he's trying to ply his trade in a poor team.
