TLO doncaster v Gillingham

[Guernsey Exile]

Just got the doors open. Power cut in the stadium.

Reports of delayed kick off!

[IDM]

Radio Sheff said the ko was back at 3 pm?

[Lipsy]

Ground's running on the backup generator. I believe they want the game to start at 3pm because they're worried that the generator might run out of juice before the electricity comes back on.

[IDM]

Anyone got the team news?

[jonnydog]

One change. Copps in for Middleton.

Bench starting to look strong

[Dare to dream!]

Main in for Tyson last min

[Lipsy]

Arse!

[Bristol Red Rover]

Booooo!

[Bristol Red Rover]

Blimey, 47 in here today! I noticed a good few twitching when Gills scored, reckon we've got some away fans in here. No need to hide, we're a friendly bunch in the Lucky Pint 

[DRNaith]

I feel calmer going behind with Ferguson in charge than any of our previous managers.

The points are allocated at the end of the game and the players seem to realise that under Ferguson.

Main in for Tyson last min

What's up with Nathan then ?

[Bristol Red Rover]

Ah, Middleton now on the bench - I thought we'd missed a trick there with not having a sub for the bench ready.

[les@donr]

Morning everyone. Not a great start.

[Bristol Red Rover]

A tough test, but like DRNaith said, it doesn't feel so bad since we've had Fergie as general.

[Lipsy]

Agree about Fergie. Dickov was all about drawing and losing, so every blummin' point was a prisoner. Now I half expect us to come back or - at the very least - win the next game. It's a weird sensation, this.

Iinjury in the warm up is all I know.

[Bristol Red Rover]

Nice touch from the BB today

So we're a man short on the bench I take it ? BBC has only 6 names for sub's.

[Bristol Red Rover]

I'm confused - who replaced Main on the bench? Pretty sure 7 were mentioned on Player - BBC still behind?

Oh

[DRNaith]

HT 0-1

[Yorkiered]

Absolute rubbish so far. Best we can hope for at the moment is that the diesel for the generator runs out.

[jonnydog]

Worst performance under Fergie so far, in my opinion.

Defence shaky, Keegan being found out, Evina looks like he's seen David Bowie in the crowd, and Main is playing worse than Jimmy Saville in a crèche.

All in all shite, give em a bollocking Fergie!!!

[DRNaith]

Could it be anything to do with us playing the top of the league?

[RobTheRover]

Lots of huff and puff,  but the final ball has either been lacking or the shot has been high/wide. Gillingham keeper not had a save of note to make. 

We've had the better of possession and territory though,  so just need to Polish up on that finishing. Gillingham are organised and strong but I think there is still a win in this for us.
