I fancy we will have our tails up after Tuesday.  I'm going for a 2-1 victory and more goals for Billston Sharply

Bugger I was going for 2-1, for a bit of variety, I'll have Brooker on the score sheet

Think I'll go for a 1-1 draw with a first goal for Keegan.
See you all on here later.

Keegan goals will be as rare as those from JOC,Wellens,Sam,etc etc. Not that sort of player, but I fancy a win on the back of better defensive work from our midfield. 0 - 1

I agree there Barmby, but I think Keegan could be the answer to making us difficult to beat again. I fancy Sharp to get the first and then a Brooker header late on to give us all three points.

Post by: MiKA on February 05, 2011, 11:39:45 am
A 2-1 win for the Mighty Donny and another great game by our most skillful player

................. Copps of course   :)

Who's in goal today? Woods I hope

It's a season-turner today lads and lasses.

Win this one and we are back in with a sniff. Lose and we'll mist likely be 12 points off the play-offs and needing top of the table form for 3 months to make 6th place.

Game on.

One goal each until the last few minutes, and then Millwall to get two late goals.

Millwall 3  Rovers 1

You know they are nearly as fragile as us in the last 15 minutes.

0-0 at 75mins
4-4 at Full Time.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 05, 2011, 02:57:19 pm
Might be a bit more direct with Mason in. He does like a pop at goal.

Be interesting. Anyone's guess. Love win, take a draw.
Title: Re:Millwall vs Doncaster Rovers
Post by: Dutch Uncle on February 05, 2011, 03:00:27 pm
Really tough today - I wouldn't be devasted by a loss as long as we lose no more players to injury or suspension. Draw would be a great result
Title: Re:Millwall vs Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DearneValleyRover on February 05, 2011, 03:19:12 pm
A decent start but can we turn possession into goals for once?
Title: Re:Millwall vs Doncaster Rovers
Post by: I-was-there1976 on February 05, 2011, 03:21:36 pm
Liam Trotter has been booked already and according to BBC text com he keeps on fouling.

Should be off soon
Title: Re:Millwall vs Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 05, 2011, 03:24:17 pm
Sounds like we're doing ok. Keegan tidying things up again. A couple of efforts on goal.

With Darren Purse, they could easily wobble.
Title: Re:Millwall vs Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 05, 2011, 03:43:15 pm
Some iffy handballs being given against us. Millwall cross ball,headed in. Offside.

Rovers having to cope with a bit of pressure. A lot of aeriel stuff being played.

Oster very quiet.
Title: Re:Millwall vs Doncaster Rovers
Post by: CottyRover on February 05, 2011, 03:46:27 pm
Listening to Millwall commentary - they've been on about the quality of the pitch, reckon both teams would normally have been passing more
Title: Re:Millwall vs Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DearneValleyRover on February 05, 2011, 03:53:26 pm
Lost our way a little by the sounds of it but Millwall are hoofing it, can we adapt. 0-0 HT fair enough, own goal anybody.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 05, 2011, 04:22:18 pm
Tactical move from Millwall. Harris and Lisbie on. They'll try and get in long down channels and play for throw ins, free kicks and corners.

Stunning save from Forde from Hird strike !!

Come on Rovers, get em frustrated. They've made all 3 subs now so lets break out.

Ryan Mason getting closer.

Shiels for Brooker - not another defender, at least. Wonder if Stock and Brooker have been replaced because they're tiring?

Why? The 4 yellows from earlier in the season were wiped out in the new year.

Plus, if anybody can come up with a winner for us, it's Billy.

Rather annoying isn't it.

Get crosses in to the box and you have a chance. That's all they kept doing. I just wish we would do the same more consistantly.

I guess losing so late is always devastating - but at least we seem to have avoided further injuries etc and made a game of what was on paper a tough fixture (5 home wins on the trot for the Wall before today) - and with 12 of our players out injured.

Just how many of you critics went to Millwall under very difficult playing conditions and considering the amount of injuries Rovers played well enough to at least draw and IMO SOD did the changes in the subs ok Booker in his own admission had cramp Sharp wasnt having much effect up front in fact our supporters tried to urge him on he seemed upset so a draw was possible.
On another point why is it that some so called rovers supporters deem it ok to go to an away match get pissed totally ignore the match and only want to goad the home supporters leave early  then consider it ok to sit on the train home and be loud and every other word been f--- this f--- that and these are mature so called men i just hope these gentlemen arent any of these critics
