Lol. Great report, and made me laugh out loud!

 I'll go for 1-0 Donny.

Good luck and fingers crossed for 3 points.

I predict...
 
A thumping victory.
Three points.
A Billy hattrick.
A clean sheet.

The Rovers Premiership juggernaught is back on the road.  :scarf:

Hmm..OK then. I'll go for a 1-1 draw.

Excellent as always Viva.  However, I wasn't aware that John Leslie was bothering Martin Woods....... :ohmy: ...... his groin is the least of his worries...  :kiss:

Oh and 3:1 to Rovers please.....

45 Minutes and a clean sheet so far - defence seem to be coping quite well so far (famous last words)

According to Roversplayer: Rovers playing well. Good game.

According to Dingleplayer: Rovers offering nothing. Poor game.

Just been on the phone to my dad who is there, reckons 0-0 is a fair score. Both teams played some reasonable stuff in fits and starts but no real chances for either team. Our best chance was apparently with Sharp, it might have hit a Barnsley defender's elbow but he reckons that Sharp fouled in the build up anyway. Shiels too lightweight and not playing well, Kilgallon looking OK. Apparently Willo has pulled his hamstring and Keegan is coming on for the 2nd half.

Have to agree Nudga. Enjoying the ride still but we're not capitilising on these crucial games in hand and a run of defeats in league and cup does no-one any favours.

I'll happily take mid-table obscurity at this stage :)

Defo mate, which is no embarassment either. I've always said we need to stay in this league for at least 5 years to carry on building process. But, it's always nice to flirt with the play offs until at least mid march.

We'll be flirting with the bottom three if we maintain this form.

Another bobbins second half performance.

When was our last clean sheet.

Even Im beginning to get a tad concerned

2-0 down, 20 mins to go, what do we do? Swap centre halves?
Title: Re:Doncaster Rovers vs Barnsley
Post by: PDX_Rover on January 25, 2011, 09:28:38 pm
Well, we always have a blip.  It's usually early season then we come good in December... Losing to the f**king Dingles is a right kicker though. They are garbage.
Title: Re:Doncaster Rovers vs Barnsley
Post by: Metalmicky on January 25, 2011, 09:33:56 pm
Anyone know how Keegan is playing second half?

I notice that he came on 46 mins and Friend after 52 mins - Barnsley then score 54 mins - not saying there is any connection.....

Things haven't really been the same since the Blunts started dicking about with SO'D.

Keegan gave the ball away quite often, but I'm putting it down to first night nerves. Friend didn't do owt wrong really and wasn't at fault for either goal. Noone marking man on back post for the first and another weird second goal deflected off Lockwood.

Half time tranquilisers aren't helping, should stick to half an orange and a salt cube.

Thankfully no game on Saturday, I can have a weekend off from this purgatory

My thoughts exactly.
Title: Re:Doncaster Rovers vs Barnsley
Post by: DN5Rover on January 25, 2011, 10:03:35 pm
I think a major factor in our play is a massive lack of confidence throughout the whole team. Just my opinion!!!

I didn't go tonight due to a bad cold, but I did fear the worst. I think Nudga may be on the money there, Is SO'D unsettled? That's the only reason I can think why he started with the same team that lost on Saturday.

Just as well there's no game for a week. I think a bit of a \"clear the air\" is needed.

In his last interview he did go on a bit about 'being ready to take your chance' - talking about him being linked with other jobs, and what he tells the players. Can't see it affecting the way he goes about his business though, although it did sound a bit of a 'come and get me' plea.
