King Billy is back!
But I've just checked and we've never kept a clean sheet and have only won once at Blackpool in our history!
Does anyone else thing we can do it today? I reckon 2 nil Rovers - Brownie and Billy! :thumbsup:

(DROS was down when I tried to get preview from them?)
:scarf:

Billy's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming
-
Well, did our new dawn start last week? Will the Billy factor inspire us to even greater things?
Today will be a test. Never great conditions at Blackpool so I expect more muck and guts required today rather than the slick passing game we enjoy.
Difficult to judge what frame of mind the Blackpool players will be in, so perhaps important that we get on top early and play on their anxiety.
I'm going for a 2-1 Rovers will Blackpool coming back and throwing everything at us in the last 10 mins.
-
With Blackpool in diabolical form, and our away record being so dismal, I feel that the first goal will decide who wins this one.
I'm confident that we will come away with the points today though. The signings Dickov has made, and our injured players coming back has given us a new lease of life, with morale at the club high again.
I'm going for a comfortable 2-0 over a depleted tangerine squad. If Ince plays I can imagine him being a sulking miserable so and so - he is going to be weary of Hubby who gave him a clatter back at the keepmoat.

Found this excellent preview on the Blackpool forum

@liamhodenDFP: Rovers: Turnbull, Tamas, Khumalo, Meite, Husband, Coppinger, Keegan, Wellens, Duffy, Sharp, Brown #drfc
-
Team selection is Bang on IMO. Let's knock the tower down on the process!!
-
Sharp starts up front with Browny
-
If we're ever gonna get a result there it's surely today, 1-2 Rovers !
-
See, you look at that team and you think "upper mid-table"
-
I'll take a clean sheet as top priority and then, please god a goal from Billy, or anybody, even an own goal but let's have those three points.
-
See, you look at that team and you think "upper mid-table"
Agree with that. If we can't get out of the shite with those players...
-
That is an awesome line up. Billy's gonna cost us a fortune !
-
Exciting! Here we go!!!!!!

Manager ( ? ) Syndrome v. Return of Billy Factor
Bring it On !

:scarf:
True :) But also add in their ex managers son a bit on a limb....
And of course Wellens at his old club.
-
Not a great start Khumalo on a tightrope for 85 minutes
-
Come on Rovers get your foot on the ball. All sounds a bit frantic.
-
blackpool starting better with the sounds of it
-
They are mullering us! Could be a case of being mega gee'd up with the manager change and that they'll run out of steam at some point.
-
'New' Manager syndrome having the better of it so far.
weather the storm , maybe until second half, and the Billy
hit them on the break
COYR :scarf:
-
Forester was a live wire last week and linked up play very well and I think he'll be missed. Sounds like we haven't got going at all yet. Let's hope Blackpool run out of steam and we can get a grip on the game.
-
We've certainly got to ride this storm, why did they have to sack their manager :ermm:
-
A goal against the run of play coming up :thumbsup:
-
Getting nothing from this ref.
-
Forgot about Perkins joining them from Barnsley. Good player.
-
Fingers crossed we don't concede in the last mins of this half. Yep, nervous :s
-
lets just see it out get in at half time then hopefully turn it around in second half
-
Come on half time :chair:
-
blaming the wind
Doncaster Rovers FC @drfc_official 58s
Rovers still struggling to get hold of the ball in this first half as the wind is causing problems #BLADRFC
-
Thank f**k for that
-
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!
-
sharp goes close
-
Doncaster Rovers FC @drfc_official 31s
Big chance for Billy Sharp! Coppinger breaks down the right and plays a great ball into the box. Sharp's header goes just wide
-
ooooohhhhh !!!
So near ! Next time Billy.
( If Turnbull can keep us in it until then ! )
-
and its half time we are riding our luck today
-
Glad we got to half time at 0-0
-
Think 1st goal wins this - surely a 0-0 or 1-0 either way? Hope all those missed Blackpool chances cost them! Come on rovers!
:clapping:
-
I may be wrong but I've thought over the past few games (Wigan excepted) we've tried to be solid and defensive for the first half/60 mins before pushing on.
Hopefully we can step up in the second half.
-
Sounds like we need to be better. Normally I'd say we're bound to lose this with the way it's going, but with a goalscorer like Sharp in the side we may just be able to nick something.
-
Where's fuzzy duck? Haven't seen one of his match previews in a while
-
Is the wind direction a factor in this game? It's supposed to be a 40mph wind (from BBC) coming from the west. That is some average wind speed!
-
Yeah I'm missing fuzzys pre match build ups.
Hopefully the wind is in our favour this half then. Getting in at 0-0 sounds like a job well done. Hopefully they get frustrated and we nick it! As I said above, first goal will win it today. COME ON BOYS BIG EFFORT NOW!
-
We have the wind now hope we make it count
-
Forrester not on the bench even ?
-
injured didnt train this week
still dont sound like we have woken up yet
-
How's Perkins not got booked yet? Now he's got free reign as he knows refs not going to get his cards out!!
-
sounds like its opening up more now please come on rovers
-
Couple of chances. rovers put some pressure on !
-
Sounds very end-to-end now. Makes for nervy listening.
-
Something's coming... no idea which end it'll be at though.
-
One of the more stressy games I've listened to :s
-
Rovers fans in good voice. Blow that ball in !!!
-
Doncaster defence more solid.
Now put a chance away !!!! :scarf:
-
on the edge of my seat here. end to end stuff :chair:
-
great to have 2 exciting games on consecutive weekends
-
4 points out of these 2 games would have taken that
-
:mad:
-
Bolll****s
-
:(
-
the record for Rovers never having a clean sheet at Blackpool continues... :headbang:
-
f**k sake!
-
Arse cakes.
-
Balls
-
With that line-up, against that opposition, there should be some serious question marks over Dickov if this continues.
-
Come on we need something from this game
-
Jeez, how far behind is the player commentary. Must be 5 minutes since the goal.
-

Not that far behind for me. Only about 30 second delay.
-
With all the expectation before this game and the situation at Blackpool, I was a bit worried about this game...
-

Hang on... if it's a good line-up but the players don't cut it how is that Dickov's fault?

Are you familiar with the term "tactics"?

You need to change your internet service provider (or try refreshing the page). It's nowhere near that far behind for me.
-
Come on rovers, push!!!
-
Skybet Donny specials page has gone now!
-
full time - 1 all. good result.
-
Point'll do
-
I'll take that. Not a great performance by the sound of it so a good point.
-
Reasonable, hard earned point in the end.
-
Good point, happy with that. Hope Charlton are burnt out for Tuesday after their cup game.
-
Take a point! Being honest I would of been livid if we got beat with that team. Bring on Charlton now

A point away from home is a good point, unbeaten in 2
COYR
:scarf:
-
Good result. Any point away is a good one in this league. Need to do the biz on ties night now
-
Yep. Decent point that. The ref sounded terrible - was he as bad as it seemed?
-
We need all the points we can get, obviously. Out of the relegation zone and above Charlton, which is also very handy.
-
A good point especially with a winnable game on Tuesday and we owe Charlton one after that farce early on in season, if we win Tuesday thats 7 points from 9 nobody can complain at that.
-

I fear you underestimate some Donny fans.
-
Yeah a point away from home is always a bonus. Hopefully we can build on it further on Tuesday, beat Charlton, and put them under pressure!
-
Yep, it would be nice to start looking up rather than down. As has been mentioned already, we certainly have the players to do it.
-

Would not bank on it , havn"t you read the earlier posts. Good substitution by the sounds of it.Onwards and upwards
-
Haven't you read the more recent posts? We're enjoying getting a point away, not losing again, and we're also looking forward to Tuesday's game. :lol:
-
Yes Lipsy have read the more recent posts and not for one minute referring to your post but agree with you, bring on Tuesday.
-
Every point gained away from home it's very good.

It is if the sides play in different ways
