Can Rovers do their first ever "double" over the glovers?

I'm feeling really confident. I feel another heavy win coming on.

Anyone remember the score of the next match after we beat Exeter 6-1 at OBV in the early 80s.....

It is even worse than that. If the two league (or Conference) matches in a season were to be regarded as a two leg cup tie then we have never beaten Yeovil. It would have gone to penalties in 2000-01 (both games 2-0 Home wins) and 2003-04 (both games 0-1 Away wins) and we would have lost on Away goals last season (Won 2-1 at Home and lost 0-1 Away).

So we just need to avoid a defeat by more than 2 goals........ :chair:

Actually four Home games on the trot looked like a tennis score stopped for rain.....6-1, 7-5, 3-6, 4-4

Aye. We never did win that last set but we should have done. 4-1 up at home with 20 mins left. Brentford down to 10 men. And we conceded 3.

Just had a look at the tables from that  season. After that Brentford match there had been 55 goals in 11 home games. Unfortunately 31 of  those had been scored against us...

Unchanged starting eleven from the last game. Razak on the bench.

Love the name of the Yeovil right back.

We've had a few players over the years who've given me ArfurWorry.

Great day, Dingles currently down 5 - 1. Rovers winning at home, against Yeovil, back to back wins, 1 point off Chesterfield with a game in hand.

Crawley 5 - 1 now. Maybe Saunders isn't going to add to his list of relegations.

We won't catch Sheff U. I think they'll make a late push for automatic.

Maybe, but it's not impossible, especially if we can get some more results like the last two. Anyway, main thing is Rovers 3 Yeovil ). Come on you reds!

Forrester off injured

I wonder if that will open the way for Razak on Tuesday. PD said Forrester had tweaked his groin. Hopefully not a bad one but Tuesday might come too soon.

Yep, that will probably see us return back to 442. In the case he was injured for Tuesday I would still use 4-5-1 and either put Furman on the right and Razak in the centre or put one of the young Ferguson on the right and keep furman in the middle.

I would have thought Whitehouse was ahead of Ferguson given that he was on the bench today. I would put Razak in the same position as Forrester if the latter is out. Keep changes to a minimum.

Hope he isn't tempted to bring Main or Uche in and go 4-4-2. Stick with what works!

Agree, I just don't think 442 works for us. Also Crewe are in good form currently with 4 wins out of 5, to go back to 442 would be a daft move.

Post by: RobTheRover on February 14, 2015, 08:05:42 pm
We went 4-4-2 today after Forrester went off.  It knocked us out of our stride for a bit.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Yeovil
Post by: ravenrover on February 14, 2015, 08:20:59 pm
No we didn't, Tyson moved wide left to take Forresters place leaving Main up front still 4-5-1. Problem was Main hasn't got Tysons pace and didn't/couldn't put their defence under the same pressure that Tyson was doing. Have to say I was surprised that Razak didn't come on for Forrester.
Tyson looked well disappointed when PD took him off to bring Robinson on
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Yeovil
Post by: StocktonRover on February 14, 2015, 08:37:19 pm
Tyson did look disappointed at being taken off, but as he came off PD whispered in his ear and he seemed happier.

I would guess he told him that the game was won and there was no point risking an injury ahead of Tuesday
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Yeovil
Post by: RobTheRover on February 14, 2015, 08:38:10 pm
You think, Raven?  The only time I noticed Tyson wide was when we scored our third.  The rest of the time he appeared to be playing the left channel
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Yeovil
Post by: IDM on February 14, 2015, 10:34:09 pm
I think PD was right to bring Wellens and Tyson off, ahead of tuesday.  Crewe are in good form and we need our best available 11.  At the moment that will include both of them.

If I remember correctly, in amongst those scores there was a 5-1 away at Lincoln

Spot on Filo - the match before the 4-4 was a 5-1 defeat at Lincoln

97 goals conceded that season
