Match preview for this game now up online on Viva Rovers (http://vivarovers.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/weekend-walkers-leicester-city-preview/)

I say draw... but I always say draw. For me the glass is nether half full, nor half empty, it is simply and eternally half.

0-2 win , for some reason I fancy this one. Their over-confidence is unbelieveable, don't they know what they're up against!

Post by: CusworthRovers on December 11, 2010, 12:23:55 am
I thought Leicester looked pretty good in the midfield v Forest on the tellybox and in particular our own RW gaffered it very well in a Wellensesque type performance. I always think if we dominate the midfield then we will be in with a good shout (I know that sounds obvious like). Not sure what midfield he will play, but we have to win that middle ground. If not, then we need the plan b of 2 or 3 in DH, BS, JH or SB running the channels for the ball down the flanks or over the top. We certainly have options at least.

I hope we do not set a side out to combat them (a bit like the recent Swansea game), and simply out-football them with a cracking midfield display aided by a first class front line.

1-2 Donny. Hayter and Billy

Key decisions. No one appealed.

You could hear the crowd laughing in amazement. Whether Sulli had his feet in front of him matters not as he was gathering the ball.

But the difference is the misses were all down to the players footballing abilities and I agree they should have done better....the Ref is just plain blind !

the only thing the ref did wrong was not to go to a video replay but since its not there he has to give a decision straight away.

Terrible decision. Kill him lol
Title: Re:Leicester City v Doncaster Rovers

no.... he should ask the lino, who was in a better position and gave nothing before making a decision that was clearly wrong.
Title: Re:Leicester City v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DearneValleyRover on December 11, 2010, 04:06:46 pm
He could have asked the lino who was in a better position and didn't indicate to the ref it was a pen.

How can their right back saunter 70 yards up the pitch and be unmarked in the box? Not convinced with the 3 up front, but then if they'd all stuck their chances away...

Re the penalty and the lino - I thought the lino did something very strange there, he stopped dead and stood square on and seemed to look at the ref. I wonder if the lino actually gave it. I know he didn't flag but they're mic'd up these days...

Embarrassing, im not only blaming him but IS COPPINGER PLAYING?

Our midfield is non existant and defense is too slow.

This is painful, Sully too slow off his line there for me. Not saying he would have got the ball but he might have made it harder for Vassell.

Disappointing how we seem to have rolled over. We've got plenty of players around the 27-32 mark who shouldn't be this mentally weak. It's not like we're a bunch of kids and without getting too many grapes out - it's not like Leicester are that good.

The defence needs sorting in January.
We don't have one centre back consistently capable at this level.

Let's give Leicester some credit - they looked a notch higher than the usual Championship side.

Just annoys me that the signs from early in the second half were there for all to see.

SOD and the players did nothing to change it. Let's be honest here, Leicester are decent but no that good. We were woeful.

That is the worst I've seen from a Rovers team for a long long time.

Not really sure what else to add after that...was like having me teeth pulled. Savage amusement really...it's hard to watch but you can't take your eyes off it.

Amazing how players can be so 'chalk and cheese' from one week to the next.

Back to the drawing board Sean...

Probably in a minority here but I thought Sulli should have been sent off for the follow through on the thigh of the leicester lad. Proves how poor the ref was

Some players need to grow some b*llocks, no one was prepared to dig in and put a fight up, at 2-1 we laid down and died, the signs were there, we were getting over run in midfield and we did n`t change it, we had no answer!

I hope I never see Thomas in a Rover shirt again.

After this defeat, it`s the midfield we should be looking at, yes we shipped 5 goals but when the midfield stand off everyone of the oposition you can`t expect the defence to hold out in the face of an onslaught like today

I concur.

The alarm bells have been ringing with the defence for months. Cardiff away, Reading away, late goal let in against Swansea. We desperately need a defender in January, or we can wave goodbye to any hope of the play-offs.

Just seen the goals on Final Score (saves me watching the FLS tonight anyway) and quite frankly it is atrocious defending all round for the goals. Never a penalty either, what the hell is that all about.

So upsetting!!  After they went up 3-1, where was our damage control? You could see things crumbling and  all you could do was watch things go to hell and for the last two where were the players who cover and help Sullivan?

Listened to the game on RW and couldn't believe what I was hearing but having watched the Football League show I found my ears were not deceiving me.

Atrocious refereeing again. That was never a penalty. Sulli took the ball clean as a whistle and their guy went over him due to the pace he was going at. The lino should have grown some b*llocks and told the ref it was not a penalty.

Second half was a complete capitulation by the mid field and defence. Also Sulli is not improving now, he's stagnating and looking his age now. Time to give his understudy a chance to shine.  

The worst performance I have seen from the Rovers in a long long time. I know that TV editing will show the winning side in any game in a better light than the losers but in this case I don't think the editors were needed.

Sean needs to have a long hard look at those positions and get it sorted because come March/April we could very well be looking at the big drop back to Division 1. How hard would that be?

At the start of the season I had high hopes of Rovers in the play-offs but at this rate that is mission impossible.
