Match preview now up on Viva Rovers (http://vivarovers.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/keep-calm-and-carrow-on-norwich-city-preview/); A time for (Comic Book) heroes.

I'm going for a result beyond our wildest dreams... a 2-0 defeat

Before you know it you’re coming on in the 80th minute for Sam Hird and being berated by Geoff in the away end for “fannying about wi’ it”. This isn’t a crisis, it’s the stuff dreams are made of.


Brilliant once again Glen! :thumbsup:

Remember Peterborough away in 97/98? They were top of the league, we were rock bottom. Not a prayer of winning.

Result? We won 1-0 with a team of kids and ex cons.

I've got a good feeling about tonight.

Well, first time i`ve ever backed against the Rovers, i`ve lumped £50 on Norwich on betfair at a measly 1.47, wins me £23.50. Would n`t be too unhappy if we got the three points like, I just think we`ve got nowt to come!

I had a fiver on Swansea 5-0 and also three quid on 3-0, so I did win 27 quid.
Not having a bet tonight. I fancy us for some reason.

0-0 draw with a great rearguard action from the team. Hopefully we start to get people back for the weekend. Woods to come on as emergency striker in the last twenty minutes!

1-1.

THough I have got a cracking little double, Rovers/Sheff Utd 20/1.

Surprised at no Killgallon.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: Barmby Rover on February 22, 2011, 07:19:28 pm
It looks like we have a midfield, so long as Stock can last out, Keegan, Wilson, Stock and Oster, not so bad after all.

I was just thinking of that game when your post came up. We were absolutely battered all night but hung on & got the winner through Smith in the 92nd minute or something. We had a young lad at centre half who was immense that night, can't remember his name though.

Eyes down. Are we going to be lucky tonight ?

God we need it !! Their commentator just predicted 4-1, I'd be happy with that !!
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers

Commentary from the Yokels is getting up my nose already!

I think Norwich will get more than 1.

Blades winning.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 22, 2011, 07:52:51 pm
Decent start.

Blades 2 up and Barnsley up against Leeds.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: MrFrost on February 22, 2011, 07:54:18 pm
Sheff Utd winning is not good. Or is it?
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 22, 2011, 07:54:48 pm
They reckon Friend playing at CH and Hird at full back.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: Superspy on February 22, 2011, 07:56:48 pm
well at least it sounds like we've had the ball in the opposition box a couple of times, unlike we did at swansea.

Post by: CJK on February 22, 2011, 07:57:16 pm
Is it Norwich player people are listening too or is there an external station from the BBC broadcasting?
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 22, 2011, 07:59:10 pm
We're winning !!! we've had a shot.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: snods big brother on February 22, 2011, 07:59:19 pm
Good news Wilson has had a shot on target first in over a game :)
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: rover-n-out on February 22, 2011, 08:03:16 pm
All Rovers early doors according to SSN. Euell had a good chance but a last ditch tackle stopped him getting a shot on target.
Come on Rovers, let's 'av em!!
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: Chris on February 22, 2011, 08:05:31 pm
Moussa sounds a handfull!
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: VikingJames on February 22, 2011, 08:06:18 pm
According to BBC stats, we've had 2 shots on target and a corner, but Norwich have dominated possession.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: bobjimwilly on February 22, 2011, 08:12:11 pm
Rovers having the best of it so far listening to Norwich commentary on player. Moussa having a good game.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: Barmby Rover on February 22, 2011, 08:16:29 pm
Playing well, fighting back at last now we have a midfield. Mossa has come close as well!
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: rover-n-out on February 22, 2011, 08:18:55 pm
SSN report Norwich getting more into the game without causing us too many problems. Moussa having a good game and coming very close, his goalbound shot deflected by a defender onto roof of the net.

Norwich 1-0, why do I bother.:(

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 22, 2011, 08:20:49 pm
Doing so well. Long punt, hesitation from defence one nil !

Then on the attack, promising move, Oster over hits cross out of play. Nothing changes.

Anyone else having forum problems again?
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: ScillyRover on February 22, 2011, 08:24:12 pm
Problems galore here.
And has Chris Mortley joined the injury list :angry:
It's bad enough we're losing but to have to listen to the Yokel commentary ! .. its SO annoying
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: Lesonthewest on February 22, 2011, 10:14:55 pm
Back on! Well done Rovers, superb result.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on February 22, 2011, 10:19:56 pm
Shame the forum was taken down although it may have been a blessing in disguise has my heart rate was up n down like a yo-yo.

What a fantastic point and could have even won it near the end. I hop this gives all of us associated with DRFC a lift, what with SUFC losing from 2-0 up at Scunny.

Shame Brisle spoilt the party.

Sound like Friend played very well at CH and Moussa had a very good game. I said to my mates a while ago, if Friend bulks up a bit he could make a good centre half.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: VikingJames on February 22, 2011, 10:26:57 pm
Excellent point, if only to show that the players are willing to battle their way through this.

The previous few weeks have given the impression that we're just going to roll over and chuck the towel whenever we're getting beat, but tonight has restored faith massively, and hopefully it will provide a confidence boost to the players.

Very important to stop the rot, and what a game to do it in. I certainly didn't expect a point out of such a difficult game. For the first time for quite a few weeks, things are looking more positive!
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: Lesonthewest on February 22, 2011, 10:37:09 pm
We now need to get our home form right, or even half decent, do that & we'll be fine.
Title: Re: Norwich v Doncaster Rovers
Post by: Drover on February 22, 2011, 10:37:57 pm
Excellent performance from the boys,against all the odds,long injury list,bad to terrible form recently,away to a team pushing for auto promotion,pressure from irritated fans etc and they put in a hard working performance and get an superb away point.This could be just the ticket to go on and get 3pts saturday.Hope the fans will show their appreciation and back the boys vocally with JR and co to edge us that bit closer to the end of the season and from the relegation zone. :scarf: :scarf:
