Peterborough United v Doncaster Rovers

[VivaRovers]

Match preview now available for this game on Viva Rovers It certainly won't be an easy game tonight, not only have Posh won two on the bounce, but its been a while since anyone beat them more than 1-0.

[dknward2]

my guess for what its worth tonight 3-2 we go 2 up with 38 mins they come back on 43 but we finish half strong, start second poor but get a lucky 3rd they get one back with 10 mins to go to make it edge of the seat time but hold on

goals from hayter, sharp and oster with the lucky one

[Biggles]

Both teams playing well at the moment so i've got us cancelling each other out for 1-1

[ScillyRover]

I'm going for 1-2 with both of our goals coming in the second half.

Oster (50) and JET (75)

         

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I'm more nervous about tonight, cos I think it could be a big win for a few reasons.

1. Form - great to keep unbeaten
2. We could overtake Blades, and others.
3. Keeps our play-off hopes and stirs up more media interest
4. Great preparation for the next 3 BIG games.

I'm just hearing Wilson is on the bench and Woods is in !

Go for it Sean !!

sod has messed up my guess copps instead of hayter then

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I think SODs remembered how we contained them at the Keepmoat, so a significant tactical change with Hird in.

Hope that we're going for a 3-0.

[RoversAlias]

Don't see why he needs to drop Hayter again, surely would've been better to give him a chance to score since he'll be leading the line on Saturday. Ah well, in SOD we trust!

BTW, with Guy gone, if Fairhurst doesn't make the bench at the weekend there's no hope for the lad.

[dknward2]

suprised no waide tonight just to give him 10 mins at end

[Dutch Uncle]

Is Waide actually fit yet?

Which, of course, makes a HUGE assumption that Waide is actually considered fit enough to be picked.

[RoversAlias]

Well, he played against the Prison boys last week, scored, and the website reported that he was fit and had returned to training. He can't be far off can he!?

[dknward2]

come on donny sounds 50/50 tho

[ScillyRover]

Most of the teams around us winning at the minute.

Comeoooonnnn Rovers let's have a goal

[Drover]

Lewis Guy wins penalty for Oldham and opponents go down to ten men.Good start for him then,you never know they may get to adore him there?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Too many changes ? Woods sounds rusty. Can't get anything flowing.

So one of Guy's dives finally pays off

I'm suprised SOD changed things around so much... but hey, he's the Gaffer.

[Pitch-inspectionDN12]

Sully quality save.  

[dknward2]

need to step it up for last few mins

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Woods must be one of the best exponents of \"Just over the bar !\"

[dknward2]

martis injured? o'conner may have to be brought on and ward back in on loan

[RoversAlias]

Martis can't be injured again surely!? Three starts, three injuries, what's wrong with the guy?

[Drover]

Beginning to look a bit dubious how WELL and SMOOTH his transfer went through?Hope we havent got another long term injury prone player on our books  

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Do we bring Lockwood on if Martis crocked ?

[ScillyRover]

Rueben Reid on for Posh

[dknward2]

hopefully just took a knock get some ice on at half time and should be fine fingers crossed

[Wokingviking]
