Stat attack:
Won 7 Drawn 12 Lost 14
Rovers have failed to win in the last 5 games against the Blades. Our last win was a 2-0 back in 2010, with Coppinger and Sharp scoring.
-
Our last win at Bramall Lane was in 2009. We won 1-0. A repeat today would be good.
-
@drfc_official: #DRFC STARTING XI: Stuckmann, Coppinger (c), Butler MacKenzie, Taylor-Sinclair, Stewart, Wellens, Keegan, Evina, Anderson, Williams
@drfc_official: #DRFC BENCH: Marosi, Gobern, Chaplow, Mandeville, P.McKay, N'Guessan, Forrester
-
Need a win today by any means
-
No main even on bench
-
Bench: Marosi, P. McKay, Gobern, Chaplow, N'guessan, Mandeville, Forrester.
-
No main even on bench
Good, he'd miss that trying to sit down
-
Good options from the bench
-
N'guessan unlucky to be on the bench.
-
Good to see forrester on the bench, gives us another option
-
Looks like either a 4-4-2 with Copps and TS as full backs, Stewart and Evina either side of Wellens and Keegan, Anderson and Williams up top!
Or maybe a 3-5-2 with Butler, MacKenzie and TS as back three, Evina and Stewart as wing-backs with Wellens, Keegan and Copps behind the other two.
The latter could be very attacking if players are utilized properly (Copps behind front two, Keegs and Wellens cleaning up!)
Come on Rovers!

It won't have a detrimental effect on his performances 😀

Decent turn out too, fans making good noise before the game..
-
N'guessan unlucky to be on the bench.
I think he's still working on his fitness and Jones doesn't want to rush him. I'd be surprised if he doesn't come on at some point.
That appears quite a strong line up. Just hope Keegan is fit enough and that we don't play Evina at right back again. Copps would be the better option.
-
Afro goal machine! This lad adds something of what we have been missing.

A lot of clicking, not quite Norman Collier.
-
Anderson has no fear first league game he will just love being there and if he can score he will get noticed
-

Yes, he appears to have had more shots on goal in the first 10 minutes than we have had in the first half of every game thus far in the season. :lol:

Norman has stopped but now getting the clinking

I think we will concede eventually here, need a goal or two in this first half to break them. They could well crumble.

ooooer! :unsure:

Or now...

@liamhoden: 17 - Chris Basham smashes a volley in from six yards out, straight from an Alcock cross. Super finish #sufc 1 #drfc 0 #starlive
COYR

And so it continues... 😞
-
Out of nothing. But... Sounds like we are doing well. COME ON LADS!
-
Thankfully there's still quite a lot of the game left. But no, it doesn't look good...
-
Let's see if we get a reaction

Got it then

Na na na na! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Our turn next.... :s

@liamhoden: Connor Sammon sidefoots in from close range from a Paul Coutts cross #sufc 2 #drfc 1 #starlive

Can we come from behind again

@liamhoden: RED CARD Gary MacKenzie sent off #sufc 2 #drfc 1 #starlive
Fans get him sent off
COYR
-
Sounds like a terrible decision... AGAIN :headbang:
-
Red card forMckenzie, the kop got him sent off
-
How many mirrors have we broken, black cats murdered, etc? Jesus wept.
-
Bbc class it as "other". Does that stand for Ref's poor decision?
-
When are we going to get a decision?
-
Couldn't tell from the away end - maybe a harsh red?
-

Sky says violent conduct, it was a scissor kick FFS!, he hasn't got eyes in the back of his head!

@liamhoden: Aaron Taylor-Sinclair now playing at centre half, Evina to left back, Coppinger to right back #sufc 2 #drfc 1 #starlive

-
Sky reporter from ground says harsh
-
Sky just said it was harsh
-
Makes the game even more difficult Jones to play next game
-
Sky even saying it's harsh
-
Blades fans on twitter saying it was never a red.
-
Doesn't make a difference we still have 10 men against 12
-
Sky even saying it's harsh
Can we appeal then?
It is going to be tough to get anything from this game now
-
Good point by DP about Jones not putting himself on the bench.
-
I keep wondering when we're going to turn a corner but - frig me - we can't catch a sodding break. Right, I'm off to aggressively drill some holes.
-

That's the disgusting thing,isn't it, we can appeal and win, but we won't get the 50+ minutes without him on the pitch, when we were seemingly playing well.
-
Awful decision. He went to play the ball, foul but never a red card. Probably not a yellow.
-
Not a very good 1st half the effort is there but that's about it really
-
Crazy.
-

Just use the sledgehammer Lipsy!! :lol:
-
.... Right, I'm off to aggressively drill some holes.
...in their defence would be helpful - visualise it!
-
Two decent crosses from them, two goals..
Anderson looks class though..
-
Right, make sure we go down in the box. He owes us!
-
Bits I keep hearing seems like the ref is getting virtually everything wrong
-
Down to 10 men, we should be used to it by now, we've been playing Main all season 😀
-
In the circumstances a draw would be a very good result. COYR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
So Rob Jones our first player manager in next game since .... ? Dave Penney !
-
We have been truly Bitch Slapped by the ref.
-
How much does Dave Penny add to the commentary other than comedy and cliche?
After their first goal he said "well that goes against the game plan, Donny will have come here not wanting to concede" - no shit
-
This will be a good test of Jones tactical awareness. Let's see what happens
-
Chap low on for keegan
-
Blunts hit the post
-
Struggling early this half
COYR
-
Chaplow on for Keegs may well be due to Keegs match fitness? Or Chaplow showing great improvement in training? Or is it tactics... BIG RJ test today.
-
bloody alamo
-
Off the line by Copps, shouldn't the ref be giving that? 😀

He made a good point about Jones not putting himself on the bench. Let's see what quality he can come up with from here on. #penneywatch
-
SWexile he is 100% improvement on YEAH! Yeah! AND he is the first guy we have had on Player commentary who knows about football.
-
"off the line" ?? Surely that was a goal
-
Connor Sammon is everything Curtis Main isn't..
-
"off the line" ?? Surely that was a goal
It would have been last week

@liamhoden: Harry Forrester replacing Cameron Stewart for Rovers #sufc 2 #drfc 1 #starlive
COYR
-
Penney actually does understand football as opposed to being just a puppet for the other bloke
-
Forrester on - exciting! Reckon will play well with Anderson.
-
SWexile he is 100% improvement on YEAH! Yeah! AND he is the first guy we have had on Player commentary who knows about football.
fair enough, still got to highlight when he pops up with some proper shiet
-
very brave substitution Rob!
-

Think that's a bit harsh. The bloke who has been on most has improved massively, some good descriptions of what is going on and a litte insight.
-
Penny is less condescending and self promoting than Micky Walker
-
Get Courtney SW on !
-
Bristol ... YEAH!
-
@liamhoden: Che Adams booked for diving in the box. Thought it was a penalty from here #sufc 2 #drfc 1 #starlive
Cheat cheat cheat
COYR
-
Sheff Utd player booked for diving in area, I'm not having that, surely it was a penalty! 😀
-
Maybe the ref has seen a replay of MacKenzie's sending off, knows it wasn't a red, and now trying to rebalance things with booking Blunts, and looking for a chance to send one of them off. Just a theory.
-
@liamhoden: Gobern replaces Wellens. #sufc 2 #drfc 1 #starlive

Would have preferred Danny on

Refs are not allowed to watch replays or have access to mobile phones during a game

hanging on now, can see a couple more for them in last few minutes

3 1 , game over.

@liamhoden: The harsh part about this is it's probably been Rovers' best performance under Rob Jones #sufc 3 #drfc 1 #starlive
COYR
-
And to think that, at the start of the season, I was quite hopeful. It's way too early in the season to have a squeaky bum, in't it? :turd:
-
the only thing getting a grip of us is league 2

How long must we wait to get an experienced manager in, jonesy bless him just isn't getting the new manager reaction we need.. We are in for a long old season at this rate...
-
One out all out! Someone has to get a grip of this team and fast.
To be fair, the ref has influenced the outcome if reports of the red card being harsh are correct
-
Only Anderson positive thing about today
Tbh blunts should have finished us off ages ago
-
You need XI players to compete at Bramhall Lane. Sounds like ref destroyed the contest.
-
Bad back pass by cops.listening on radio Sheffield according to commentators we have never been in game.say that sharp head and shoulders best player on pitch.
-
Need a bit of a refresh if we can. Not sure Gobern and Chaplow bring anything to the side.
Always struggling with ten vs eleven
-
Chaplow come on at HT, has he touched the ball yet?
-
Oh well onwards and upwards, Swindon on Tuesday
COYR
-
Let's get a manager in who wants a few new faces, the defense was poor last year it's worse this season, we have no creativity in midfield bar wellens when he can be bothered,we have imo 1 of the best forwards in this league and he gets no service
-
Not convinced by Chaplow thus far. To be fair, today sounded like a much better showing but the ref spoiled the contest. Don't agree with those folks saying League Two beckons. It's way too early to be saying such stuff. We will not be relegated this season. The appointment of the next manager is crucial though.
-
Are we bottom yet are we just giving everyone a head start?
-
Yeovil relegated from L1 last season are struggling in L2, could be heading to the NL (Conf). I hope we are not copying them! We need a competent manager in asap to get a grip of things before the situation is terminal. Ref had a big say on the outcome of the game, but that has happened before, and we haven't learnt from it.
-
As much as I want Jones to do well, I am thinking it needs fresh blood in charge. Lots of work to do. What a mess Paul Dickov left.
I feel we have the game away
-
TBH Jones is probably out of his depth trying to sort things out post PD. The manager change should have been done in the Summer.
-

The fella clapping to the left, very crooked fingers, seems to have a lot of them too.

Don't get your last sentence but I agree with the first one. Dickov left us in a real mess.
-
Not sure pd has left us in a mess,think he did his best with the available money apart from buying a right back,everyone is to blame the board the manager and the players
-

Sorry but I think he HAS left us in a mess. He seems to have wasted most of the funds he was given on players that haven't improved the team.
