@paulgoodwinDFP
Few rumours about Copps doing the rounds this week. He's here tonight. Not sure about George...doubt it very much. #drfc

Is that it then, nothing else happened yet after 30 mins.
BTW, thanks for the update Keepmoatman.
-
So far Bennett looks sharp and our best player, Wakefield looks good on the ball, Jimmy and Woods absolute shite. Blake has a great touch on him but has 2 stone of pies round his midriff and Andy Warrington should still play for us. Syers and Cotterill not in the game
-
Half an hour gone and it's still #rufc 0 #drfc 0
Great ball in from Husband, runs through to Syers at back post on the slide but cannot get a touch on the ball and it goes out for goal kick
Kyle Bennett just tries to do a little bit too much after a great run, should have got shot away from edge of box #rufc v #drfc
Great tempo from Rotherham, Rovers struggling to get a good hold of the ball #rufc v #drfc
Another great drive from the dangerous Pringle from outside the area, Woods gets behind it well #rufc v
Ball just wouldn't fall for Johnny Mullins after ball flicked over the top #rufc v #drfc
-
Great footwork from David Cotterill as he receives on the edge of the area and managed to get a shot away which Warrington saves well
Robbie Blake is struggling at the minute #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
Three great chances in one for Millers. Revell turns Taylor's cross on target, Taylor misses rebound & Woods tips Odejayi's shot onto bar
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP Much more balanced game now after Rotherham's great 15 minute period #rufc 0 #drfc 0
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
Ball falls to Cotterill on edge of the area but cannot get enough on his shot and scuffs it wide #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Lionel Ainsworth is loving the cut inside and shot technique #rufc 0 #drfc 0
Five minutes to go in the half #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
@jordilee12 Decent atmosphere. Nice ripple of noise at all times but not a great deal of singing
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
The two technical areas here at the New York are miles apart. An observation for you there #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
Another superb cross from James Husband and it's David Syers again at the back post but he can't connect again #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Half time #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
Very entertaining game first half. End to end stuff with Rotherham probably shading it #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
thank you all for the updates.
-
Can anybody give us an insight on who if anyone is standing out for the Rovers and who is not
-
According to Liam Hoden reporting from DFP blake is struggling, fitness issues ?
-
did andy warrington get a good reception? Good servent and a really nice guy
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
The uncertainty between defence and goalkeeper we've seen regularly in this pre-season has not been rectified #rufc v #drfc
-

I have spoke to a Rotherham fan at the game who is giving me updates. They said Kyle Bennett is our main danger.

1mLiam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
@finderz4 James Husband has done really well going forward, some great crosses, Keegan looks solid
-
Stock and Woods both on for 2nd half
-

Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
Great reception for Andy Warrington from Rovers supporters #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
Paul Keegan goes to right back with O'Connor and Syers. Jonathan Maxted in goal, replacing Woods #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Syers, O'Connor and G Woods off, Stock, M Woods and Maxted on. Keegan fills in at right back #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
Dean Saunders clearly subscribes to theory that anyone can play at right back #rufc 0 #drfc 0
True statement at this moment in time
-
Liam Hoden@liamhodenDFP
Jason Taylor afforded all the space in the world but sends shot wide from edge of the area #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Alex Revell stabs a half volley just wide after allowing ball to come across his body just inside area #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Corner for Rovers. Good startto half #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Kari Arnason tries his luck from 25 yards but easy take for Maxted #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
Another great counter-attack from Rovers but again final ball lets them down, this time Bennett's pass inside to Cotterill #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
This Rotherham defense are definitely on their toes, react very well to passes towards Rovers front men #rufc 0 #drfc 0
-
GOAL: #rufc 0 #drfc 1 Cotterill
Get in :scarf:
-
Get in! Great long shot from Cotterill. Rovers fans making a lot of noise
-
Cotterill cuts inside from right hand side, charges to edge of area and smashes right footed shot into far top corner #rufc 0 #drfc 1
sounds a class goal by the looks of it :scarf:
-
GOAL.. cotterills starting to make a name for himself
-
Great noise from Rovers supporters, superb acoustics at New York #rufc 0 #drfc 1
-
Was a great strike, Bennett is unplayable
-
Great run down the left from Bennett, chips a cross towards back post but Warrington plucks the ball out of the air #rufc 0 #drfc 1
-
Dean Saunders commands his troops #rufc 0 #drfc 1
-
Sounding like Maxted is doing okay. He's got a great keeper attitude, think he could shine in the not too distant future
-
Millers bring on Mitchell Rose (Doncaster-born, brother of Danny Rose) #rufc 0 #drfc 1
-
typical ipod dies so go get laptop then when i turn it on we are winning
well done cotterill just hope he can keep this up in normal season sounds like a great signing by deano
-
Superb cross-field ball from Blake to Cotterill, one touchline to the other #rufc 0 #drfc 1
-
GOAL: #rufc 1 #drfc 1 Mark Bradley
-
Ball comes through to Bradley who drills in from right hand corner of the box into the far corner #rufc 1 #drfc 1
-
Kyle Bennett off receiving treatment, struggling for last few minutes #rufc 1 #drfc 1
-
Amari Morgan-Smith is about to come on for Rovers #rufc 1 #drfc 1
-
Morgan-Smith replaces Kyle Bennett #rufc 1 #drfc 1
-
GOAL: #rufc 2 #drfc 1, Agard
-
Shipping goals galore so far this pre season. Not looking at all promising for the league unless new players come in
-
Triallist Kieran Agard does superbly on edge of area, fiunds space and drills a shot which is too hot for Maxted to handle #rufc 2 #drfc
get him signed up!!
and some defenders of course
-
Big shout for a penalty for Rovers, Wakefield appeared to be pulled down. Ball back into the box, Brown shoots on turn but pulls ball wide
-
Brown flicks a header towards goal but a foot over, referee judges it hit a defender on way out. Corner comes to nothing #rufc 2 #drfc 1
-
Kayode Odejayi really should have made it three for Rovers, turns a header wide with plenty of the goal to work with #rufc 2 #drfc 1
-
Another brilliant cross from Husband, both Amari Morgan-Smith and Martin Woods fail to connect on the stretch #rufc 2 #drfc 1
-
Husband just put a beaut of a cross in both brown n the useless on trial sticker missed. Did not realise Martin woods was playing this half. Not touched ball has he? Stock looks like not really trying.
Sorry shit cross from Woods just come in.
If I'm honest tonight would always be hard with the sudden momentum behind Rotherham and fat boy Evans but this season is nothing but a season of stability............ if we can actually get enough players for a squad together. Cannot fault the youth players though as they at least put some effort in.
Says something when I've spent more time on my phone than finding rovers interesting to watch.................no change in my decision to buy a season ticket now and cotteril is getting worse as the game goes on
-
Full time: #rufc 2 #drfc 1
-
Great game tonight, two well matched sides. #rufc 2 #drfc 1
-
think copps and friend could have made the difference hope if they are on the way out deano has good enough replacements because if we have the same team playing hull it could be a tough game
-
Thought we were awful. Nothing in defence or up front.
-
Spot on Mr Frost, we need to get some quality in and fast.....if not it looks like being another shitty season again !
-
Came away feeling depressed. We played what will probably be our first team and we got comfortably beat, the amount of shots we let them have was unbelievable and they should have had more, although saying that we should have scored another.
Thought Bennett, Wakefield and Husband played well. Blake showed some good touches and was mobile enough to say he looks about 20 stone. The trialist released by Luton looks rubbish, nearly as slow as Martis.
-
Why on earth would you think that's our first team? Coppinger and friend? And If they leave we will be bringing players in.
We have the loan market and nobody will be making loan signings yet.
Possibly the best performance I've seen from Bennett, husband was very good, Blake will be good when fit, m woods was shocking when he came on.
Was impressed with keegan.
Tonight was better than I expected against a side that will probably win the league below, and are spending silly money
-
Rovers were well beaten. We had moments of class and if I was being fair I would say we looked the classier side. Maybe a relegated Championship side should be against a L2 side.
Rotherham were more determined, had a team spirit, had pace, aggression and had a system. Once they decided to show that in the 2nd half we were very much 2nd best.
My fear is we will come up against teams like this far more in L1/L2 land and we couldn't cope. We have a few weeks to get players and get a system and some consistency and above all some belief on and off the pitch
