Dinnertime Game on today. Hope the lads are well rested and massaged back to full fitness after running around for a couple of hours on Thursday.
Wigan1- Doncaster3. COYR.
-
In preparation today I shall mostly be playing Baby Ford's "Oochy Koochy" whilst shouting "Have that up yer, ya Wigan bugger!"
-
Think after thursday night it will take time to get into the game may even go behind but think the team has already started to gel very well so will get back into the game after half time. Going for 2-1 new lad from spurs for them and williams and tyson for us
-
Mackenzie in for Jones. Otherwise unchanged.
-
Jones is on the bench so must be rotation rather than injury. No Tyson though.
Bench. Marosi, Lund, Jones, Paul McKay, Main, Mandeville and Whitehouse.
Chaplow, Keegan and N'guessan still out.
-
Starting team?
-
No game changes on the bench unless Jones or one of the four 20 and under can do it.
-
Starting team?
@drfc_official: #DRFC STARTING XI: Stuckmann, McCullough, Butler, MacKenzie, Taylor-Sinclair, Evina, Wellens, Middleton, Forrester, Coppinger (c), Williams
@drfc_official: #DRFC BENCH: Marosi, Lund, Jones, Main, Mandeville, P.McKay, Whitehouse
-
Thank you
-
I'll be happy with a point, and beat Southend on Wednesday.
-
Why no Tyson?
-
No Keegan, Chaplow or N-Guessan either. I wish PD was honest about injuries in his interviews so we know what to expect.
-
He was hobbling in the closing minutes of extra time I noticed. Probably from the amount of wrestling the Leeds defence were doing.
-
Tyson has got a hamstring injury according to Liam Hoden.
-
No Keegan, Chaplow or N-Guessan either. I wish PD was honest about injuries in his interviews so we know what to expect.
Why give the opposition any help. I'm with PD here, keep it quiet and don't help the opposition.

Anyone got commentary on player yet?

Here's your Rovers Player bingo card for today. Eyes down for your line.
Player to cut out after 10 mins.
Player to cut out after 45 minutes.
Biltcliffe to make an overdramatic comment about the weather.
Searching beep beep beep ... destination out of order
Player won't work the entire game
Someone will ask how to get Player on Ipad, Windows 10 or commodore 64.
We will hear the phrase 'Irish midfield enforcer' even though Keegan isn't playing.
-
Anyone having trouble with Player? I've just got a countdown to kickoff timer but no sound.

Check this young man's card, he might have a line.
-
Rovers player not working has anyone tweeted the commentaters?
-
Yes me
COYR
-
Same for me Mike_F.
Don't get your comment CiM.
-
Another season, another £40 spent on this shite.
-
Not working here either
-
live on radio Sheffield 104.3 fm for free. only draw back is Mickey Walker is ( expert analyser, commentator ).
-
Yeah but if you've not got an actual radio in the house you're f**ked.
-
I'm listening to RS but would rather listen to our own.
-
beep beep cleared.
If anyone had that on their card, well done, you win a line. Eyes down for you full house.
-
Got player now
COYR
-
Yeah but if you've not got an actual radio in the house you're f***ed.
Correct. I'm in on my own with the boy so can't exactly go and sit in the car either.
-
Finally!
-
A new provider this season, this was n't supposed to happen again, the only thing thats the same and thats the team using it!
-
Don't despair lads, Rovers Player Bingo will always be here.
-
Black Bank away in fine voice.
-
Good chance and Forrester fires wide theses attacking midfielders must start taking their chances, missed on Thursday and started again today.
Forrester and Coppinger finishing needs to better to suit their overall play.
-
Who's playing where in midfield & up front?
-
Suggest you follow on twitter as well as listening to Player you will get all the info you need.
-
Good morning everyone, it's 8.45am here in NB, Canada. Got up early to follow the match live.
I sniff a win for us :)
-
Wigan clipped the bar with freekick.
-
No Keegan, Chaplow or N-Guessan either. I wish PD was honest about injuries in his interviews so we know what to expect.
I've no problem with him keeping quiet about new injuries, but one thing does bother me. So often we are told that so-and-so will be ok for the next game only for them to be out considerably longer. Is Dickov getting realistic appraisals from his medical staff? We have enough midfielders out at the moment to be looking at a loan unless they really are due back next week.
-
He said the entire squad would be fit for the first game. I don't know whether he believed that or not.

Or is he giving the opposition something else to think of, could they or could they not be playing - keeping the opposition guessing?

We aren't gonna win this are we.

Exactly
-
Williams one on one, hits it against the keeper.
-
Williams will win this for us
-
Anybody else thinking we can't hit a cows arse with a banjo...lol
-
Great save from Forrester shot. Rovers pressure continues.
-
ODonnell in Wigan goal pulls off two good saves the last one from Forrester was excellent according to Twitter
-
Got to make the pressure count.
-
Now Stuckmann makes a good save

Twitter feed is 30 seconds faster than commentary.

My commentary has gone off again

Don't do twitter & am busy atm. That's what you lot are for, come on get yer fingers out.

Full House.

Good to hear Mackenzie is up to the mark in this half. Healthy competition for those CD positions.

Never lost it where I am

Back on now

Half time 0-0 A good half, should have taking our chances and a Pen not given for us (again)
COYR
-
Half time. Good chances for rovers. Two penalty shouts. Take that, keep it tight and try and nick it.
-
Sounded a good half. Let's press on second half and continue that good away record.
-
We are the best side by a mile. Just hope the missed chances don't come back to bite us in the bum in the second half.
-
another penalty shout for rovers. Nothing
-
Need to be more clinical, what do we need to get a penalty?
-
Rovers on top.
-
These are there for the taking.
-
hmmm double substitution for Wigan let's see if that changes things.
-
Sound like we're well on top.
You just f**king know they'll score a shite goal in stoppage time.
-
We've hit the bar.
-
Get Jones on for Williams!
-
Is anyone else's RP commentary sounding like Norman Collier?
-
Biltcliffe getting more excited about opposition chances again!
-

Nope, clear as crystal here.

Ggooooaaallll come on rovers, sensing one in the next 5 mins please:-)

Biltcliffe getting more excited about opposition chances again!
I think it's anxiety more than enthusiasm. He just wants to be on the pitch, he used to play in defence.
-
Thanks BRR.
-
Get Jones on for Williams!
Why ?

Doncaster Rovers FC @drfc_official · 2m2 minutes ago
924 Rovers fans have made the trip to Wigan today, thank you for the terrific support! #drfc 0-0

Will Main come on and be the hero?
-
Not got many options on the bench to change it.
-
Will Main come on and be the hero?
More chance of Jesus shagging the Pope.
-
Will Main come on and be the hero?
Who would you take off?
COYR
-
Probably Evina and go 442. The other option is Jones up front for the last 10 minutes.
-
Main coming on
-
Main coming on
Here we go boys.
-
Liam Hoden @liamhoden · 33s34 seconds ago
Main replaces Andy Williams #wafc 0 #drfc 0 #starlive
-
Main on, we've settled for the draw then :)
-
Get Jones on for Williams!
Why ?
I bet he's chomping at the bit! Maybe a tad premature of me though :whistle:
-
Sounds like we've ran out of steam
-

Exactly - we need Jones the Steam!

Come on Rovers stop pissing about.....
-
Our support sounds amazing today.
-
3 games and 0 goals from open play.
-
Free kick 20 yards out in the dying moments.
-
Butler almost gives away a pen on 90 minutes
COYR
-
Phew!!!
-
O'Donnell having a blinder,should'nt be surprised really,did'nt we try to sign him before Wigan came in for him?
-
3 Minutes of extra time

Doncaster Rovers FC @drfc_official · 26s26 seconds ago
It's dinked in towards MacKenzie who looks to have been pulled down... Wigan back with possession #drfc 0-0
-
Come on Rovers,someone come up with a dougie special bullet header in last minute!
-
Full time. Good point.
-
Full time. f**k sake. Shouldv'e had em.
-
Liam Hoden @liamhoden · 29s30 seconds ago
Full time #wafc 0 #drfc 0 #starlive
Take that, but could have been more with a bit better finishing and some of the pen decision going our way
COYR
-
Can't believe we haven't won this. But... would have taken a point before the game. Need a win on Weds against Southend tho.
-
At least hard to beat is a good place to start from
BobG
-
Good point for me also. Sounded a good performance.
-
3 games and 0 goals from open play.
Aye, and 3 games and no defeats too..
-
0-0 FT 👎 corner after corner and no end product 😡 frustrating.
-
Full time. Good point.
More important,it sounds like a good performance,even a good few minutes from Main too!
-
2 points dropped , you can't have that many chances, that much possession and draw. However well played Rovers and well supported.
If you want promotion these are the away games you must win . We had all this sort of possession against a 10 man Leeds and still needed penalties. We need to play Tyson imo.
-
I'd have taken that. Nice to hear we are staying tight at the back.
-
Hoola, Rovers had 10 chances Wigan had 9, They had 55% possession we had 45%.

Don't know where those figures come from. We totally dominated that game and should have had 3 points.
-
I'd have taken that before the game but now I feel a little disappointed.
I suppose that is the downside of playing one striker. However we are more compact and balanced when we do so too soon to go back to two up top.

BBC
Rovers website has it as 49% - 51% in rovers favour same amount of chances.

CIM Well that wasn't the game I was listening to on Player . Perhaps we need to sort our commentators out. We were all over them like a rash for most of the game and we had 45% possession......are you sure fella ?
Sounds from that then that we were extremely lucky to scrape a point......what do I know . I know the support sounded magnificent though.
-
Mackenzie was immense today. Biggest threat from corners all game.

Seems the commentators were commentating on a different game to the one the BBC was listening to . ;)

Tyson out for 6 weeks

Jeez I missed that , Main better come good quickly and earn his wage. We need goals :chair:
-
Think we will sign someone now. The squad already looks thin. Tyson, Nguessan, Keegan all injured. Jones had a problem with his knee pre game and Chaplow seems uncertain
-
I expect we will being someone in dought it will before weds though. If we win on weds that will be 5 points from 9 Or 1.8 per game so just behind playoff form that is if we win though

Bit too early to be thinking about points per game. Being hard to beat is a start, next comes goals and wins!

Agreed, but we need to start taking chances. Confident we will do and the signs look good.
-
Beginning to be the same as last season, get loads of chances and don't get the end product - goals. Good that the defence is tight. Wednesday should be a big win, Southend are in all sorts of problems at the moment, don't travel well, and have a poor record at Doncaster. If we don't win on Wednesday I would start to worry why aren't we taking the chances we are getting.
-
I don't think that is a bad point.
Another game without a goal in open play, but we are looking difficult to play against. The defence are doing their part and the front line will click soon.
-
Open play created the penalty chance vs Leeds..
Pedantic, yes, but it was our attacking play that drew the foul.
-

Gillingham didn't travel well last season losing 6 drawing 2 of their first 8 away games , but hey they dicked us 2-1 at the Keepmoat in their 9th away game.
Start to think that it's a formality and we will come unstuck for sure.
-
0-0 away at Wigan is a great result, end of story

Must agree on this occasion. However a lack of goals is a bit of a concern.
-
I also agree, it is..
But I'd be more concerned if we weren't creating chances,
